Class History Although 1943 was a momentous year for each of us as we entered Greenwood Central School, it was also an important year as far as the world was concerned World War II was raging The Allies had begun their campaign against Italy by seizing the Pantelleria Islands on June 11 The Italian mainland was invaded and Italy surrendered on September 8 Casualties were heavy for both the Japanese and Allies on the Gilbert Islands in November 1943 President Franklin D Roosevelt was an able executive durlng this critical period While the world as a whole was concerned with the problem of war, twenty five children in Greenwood were concerned with their first day of school We were met and welcomed by Mrs Clinton York It is interesting to note that only four of our present twelve members started ln Greenwood in 1943 They are Allie Mae Mills Mary Brown Patricia Wallace, and Fred Terlbury During the following years the other members of our small group Joined us Alta York entered in the second grade and Dorothy Fletcher in the third grade Victor Losey joined us in the fifth grade, Shirley Clark in the sixth grade, Bryan Higgins in the seventh and Carol Hurd, Dick House and Kaye Ford in our Freshman year The early years of our school life were devoted to learning the three 'R's My, what a job it was but it was worth the trouble' In 1950 we started in Junior High It was a complicated process passing from room to room for different classes and having different teachers, but in a few weeks we had learned our way around When we started 8th grade tragedy struck our small class, for we were divided into three groups in an attempt at homogeneous grouping However, in our second year of high school we were together again, working for the During our Sophomore year our main money making projects were bake sales, selling stationery and having a concession at the School Fair At last we were Juniors, and with that advancement we received our class rings which we had ordered the preceding year Our Junior year found us with twenty members in our class and very few funds for our Senior Trip We really began to work We sponsored a Junior dance, Dusty Owens, and had the selling of refreshments at the basketball games We also sponsored the Junior and Senior Banquet which proved to be a very enjoyable event At last September 1954 rolled around, and as Seniors we were starting on the last part of our Journey at Greenwood Central We were sorry to learn that we had lost seven members of our class Kay waight, Frances Burdick, Dorothy York, William Vanderhoef, Ronald Ersley, Archie Kernan and Duane McCormick We had not only lost seven members but also Mr Lynn, who had been our advisor during our Sophomore and Junior years Mr Lowrey became our advisor Early Saturday morning, April 30, we all met at G C S to start our trip to Washington, D C We had been striving toward this trip for three and a half long years, and were anxious to be on our way During our stay of six exciting days we saw such places as the Capitol Building Lincoln's and Wash1ngton's Monuments, and many other places of interest Our stay seemed all too short, but we realized we had to return to Greenwood to complete the last lap of our schooling Graduation arrived and with its coming our time at Greenwood Central was at an end Our four years had been full of experiences which had equipped us for the future It was a time of farewells to those we had come to love, and a great sense of expectation for our tomorrows To you, dear G C S we say farewell 16 two main events of our high school lives: the Senior Trip and Graduation.
