CLASS HISTORY Once upon a time on a groovy Monday morning in September of 1957, thirty-seven savages began their twelve year struggle against the well-meant effort of countless teachers. We began our legendary trek to the milk and honey glories of education-land” with tearful eyes and vengeful hearts. The first day of school our deceiving parents removed us from our carefree days and placed us in the care and guidance of Mrs. Larkin. From the very beginning fights were not uncommon, Jeannie and Sue's towel fight being the first of many. Carol's stubborn streak was evident even in her early years when she refused to read for Mrs. Larkin. In the second grade Mrs. Rowan and Mrs. Harris were patient as we struggled through the fundamentals of real-writing. Flip flops and Hula Hoops made the scene that year, along with Scott Menard and William Thompson. At the end of school when Myrle Seay left, she bestowed upon Mary Katherine the honor of big boss. However, before her departure, Myrle staged her final battle, a war involving the entire playground. Again in the third grade our ranks were divided. Those in Mrs. Dominey's room were privileged enough to play on the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade playground, while Mrs. Shepard’s class had to be content with the other playground. Carol was mascot cheerleader, Neil and Brenda were May King and Queen, and ... Mrs. Dominey became pregnant. The fourth grade was one big happy art class under the expert instruction of Mrs. Cockman. Flutaphones and junior majorettes were a few of the highlights that year, and ... Mrs. Cockman became pregnant. Karen and Patricia joined us in the fifth grade. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hollingsworth had to put up with our yoyos, along with the Twist that year. And for the third consecutive year our teacher, Mrs. Hollingsworth, became pregnant. A large portion of the sixth grade was spent looking at movies Mrs. Edwards’ husband had made in Viet Nam. We were told we could not play games such as Slap, Kiss and Hug” on the playground and had to settle for other less mature games. Graduation brought the arrival of Evelyn and the departure of Scott who had been a terror to all the girls. The first day of seventh grade was mass confusion. But we pulled through and adjusted to changing classes, the antics of Mr. Marcus, and a new student, Tom. Eighth grade brought our first encounter with Mr. Harris. Mary Katherine still cringes at the thought of a jawbreaker. Karen brought us glory as Halloween Queen and our Homecoming float won first prize. Gloria arrived in the ninth grade but soon after the year was under way Patricia moved back to Virginia. Mr. Fritz, our homeroom teacher, taught us that chewing gum was and still is not allowed in his presence. The boys ruled supreme in the tenth grade, not a single girl was elected to a class office. After much argument and disagreement, we decided to end the year with a Spring Dance. Our next-to-the-last year was a big one. Five new students joined our Junior Class, but we were sad to have both Greg and William leave. The Prom was first on our minds that year. We went back in time and entertained the Seniors with a Roman Celebration. At last we are Seniors. Sue was second runner-up in the county-wide Junior Miss Pageant. We sponsored a successful Christmas Dance, and we won first prize for the best decorated homeroom at Homecoming. Mrs. Clark patiently listens to our homeroom haggle each morning as we impatiently wait for graduation.
