CLASS HISTORY As the rays of the bright sun come up over the universe, so did we as freshmen come into Griffith High School on our road to success. A group of high-spirited youngsters we were, but soon we became adjusted to the new life in which we found ourselves. We felt that we were an essential part of high school when Fay Knouse became Fall Carnival Queen of ' 48. The freshmen girls’ chorus took part in many school aaivities including participation in ' The Night of Opera” at Reynold’s Auditorium as part of the centennial celebration. In the early summer Mr. Shugart’s home room had a swimming party at Crystal Lake and a weiner roast at Reynold’s Park afterwards. ' This was enjoyed by everyone so much that we decided to take another such trip when school closed. We went to Hanging Rock on the activity bus to end up that year of fun. Our shining leaders” this year were Mrs. Benton, Miss Hunter and Mr. Shugart. As the sun’s brightness extended over the earth, so the sophomore’s knowledge of high school increased. To begin our social life, we roasted weiners at Reynold’s Park and afterwards danced in one of the pavilions. This year our class again was royally represented when Bobby Myers was Fall Carnival King of ’49- Caroline Mock was installed as secretary of student council. The Christmas spirit was greatly aroused with a party given by the grade mothers at the scout hut. The Key Club gave a minstrel in February and attended a convention at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Some of the girls were at the banquet as dates for out-of-town boys. Seeing us through this year as sponsors were Miss Hunter and Mr. Nelson. As the sunset glowed, our junior year began. Now we were upperclassmen—so many class meetings, so much planning to do! No one will ever forget measuring for our class rings and then actually receiving them. Officers this year included Bobby Welborn, president; Wilburn Pope, vice-president; Marquita Myers, secretary; and Fay Knouse, treasurer. Pajama parties were now in full swing; one of the many to be remembered ones was at Nancy Moore’s. A dance was held at the scout hut in April in order to teach the boys a few steps in dipping.” April 27th is the day that will stand out in everyone’s mind because of the junior-senior banquet. Each class¬ mate will remember that day— planning and carrying out each minor detail, decorating the Y. W. C. A., and the girls with their pincurls and dungarees.’” That night each junior, senior, and faculty member endeavored to look his best. We danced to the music of Jimmy Meyer’s Orchestra. Later the juniors pledged their whole-hearted support to the paper drive. Their reward was a delightful trip to Virginia. Montez Swaim, Evalina McCuiston, and Joann Smith liked the state so well that they almost decided to stay. Jimmy Tesh and G. B. Myers attended the Key Club Convention this year in Charleston, S. C. On May 3rd, the seniors gave the juniors a return party at Miller Park. Here we enjoyed a weiner roast and square dance. Everyone will remember the game of yes and no.” The spirit of partying” was increased when Emma Williams and Mae Long entertained the junior and seniors with an ice-cream party at Emma’s. In May, the French Club enjoyed a picnic supper at Reynold’s Park. Following in their footsteps a week later the shorthand class had a swimming party and weiner roast at the park. On May 31, the juniors raised high their rose arches for the seniors with the hope that the rising junior class would do the same for them in ’52. The junior marshalls included Bobby Myers, chief; Caroline Mock, Barbara Mock, Emma Williams, Wilburn Pope, Bobby Mahaffey, and Bobby Welborn. This year the Griffith girl’s basketball team was county-champion. Members of our class on the squad were Julia George and Barbara Myers. Bobby Welborn and Wilburn Pope were captains of the boy’s basketball team. 22
