SENIOR HISTORY In the fall of 1939, Mrs. Yount, the first grade teacher, found she had twenty-eight of Mother’s little angels. Thirteen of those angels are still with us, struggling to graduate this year. They are: June Beouy, Eugene Christie, Jim Curts, Bob Dow- ling, Mae Hatton, Dorothy Hiatt, Karl Hiestand, Richard Johnson, Joan Pittenger, Donna Sites, Charles Smith, Beverly Tull and Teddy Webb. Mrs. Yount was very happy to turn us over to Mrs. McDaniels, who was our sec- ond grade teacher. We gained a new pupil this year. Jack Watson, from Yorktown. Progressing on to the third grade, we found another new member in our midst, Del Painter, who now is in the Navy having joined last November. Mrs. Gwaltney was our third grade teacher. In the fourth grade Marcia Locey and Martha Mart joined us. Mrs. Carnes was our teacher the first semester and Mrs. Collins the last semester. Moving on to the fifth grade we picked up another new member, Larry Campbell, who has remained with us down through the years. Mrs. Elva Smith taught us this year. Mrs. Brown, our sixth grade teacher, tried to prepare us for the assembly. Bravely we entered the assembly in the year of 1946 and found it very exciting. We were happy to have the privilege of electing sponsors. We chose Elinor Keller and Harry McCreery. Wanda Rector, Bill Pierce and Bob Shull joined us this year. Harry always had trouble finding his paddle whenever he needed it during the next two years, we were no longer angels. Fighting our way on into the eighth grade our sponsors again were Miss Keller and Mr. McCreery. The year passed swiftly and pleasantly. At last we were in High School. We were proud to be Freshmen. Our sponsor was Miss Keller. We no longer had Harry, but the memories of the hard work and good times we had with him will remain with us many, many years. We had five new members to join us: June Bantz, Bill Clark, Marvin Clevenger, Sue Ann Kelso and Jayne Smith. In our Sophomore year we picked up three new members, all coming from Roy- er ton. They were: Dick Dragoo, Anna Lowe, and Marylin Mills. Again we unan- imously elected Elinor for our sponsor. Our school years were rapidly coming to a close as we moved on into our Junior year. The money in our treasury was beginning to pile up as we were particip- ating in many money making activities. We were hoping to have enough money in our treasury to go to New York on our Senior trip. We were very happy to have Elinor again for our sponsor. We finally became Seniors after eleven years that have gone rapidly Dy. At a meeting in which the Seniors and their parents took part, we unanimously voted to go to Washington and New York on our Senior trip. We are leaving May 7, and will return home May 13. Our Commencement, to be held April 30, will finish our Senior year. We are very happy to have had Miss Keller as our sponsor during our High School and Junior High years. We feel that our school years here at Harrison have been very profitable and the happiest years of our lives. Eighteen
