CLASS HISTORY September 4, 1945 nine girls and six boys began their high school career. Since the school building wasn't large enough to hold the pupils, we were to make our home room in the Methodist Church during the Freshman year. Three of the girls dropped out to get married. Our faculty for that year was W, S, Nicholson, Miss Emma Watson, and Frances De Vane. During our Sophomore year we were transferred back to the school building with our faculty the same except for Mr, M, G. Harris, who took the place of Miss Emma Watson. That year we had six girls and six boys. During the last semester one of the boys, decided to attend a larger high school. We began our Junior year making our home in one of the dressing rooms. Two new teachers were added to the faculty. G. D. Hardesty succeding Mr. W. S. Nicholson, and Mr. H. D, Davis as an extra teacher. During our third year in high school two of the girls left our group. Leaving us a total of four girls and five boys. At the beginning of our Senior year we had the privilege of choosing our own room, because two new rooms had bean added, Richard Arlen Lewis a veteran was allowed to move into our class from the tenth grade, making a total of ten Seniors. The faculty remained the same as in our Junior year.
