CLASS MOTTO Don't stare up the steps, Step up the stairs. FLOWER Red Rose COLORS Red and White CLASS POEM It was twelve years ago when we first started to school. To work lor our grades and leam the golden rule. We were all so eager and wanting to learn. That we listened intensely to cur elders, who then were so stem. But years have passed, and its time to leave, For our goals we have reached, and success we have achieved. Our school days behind us, our future ahead, And a road full of hardships that we have yet to tread. Our hearts are saddened as the day draws near, When we shall depart from our school so dear. Our teachers before us with smiles so sweet, With our problems we went and they helped us defeat. When the doors open again next year, The seniors of '49 will not be here. But memories of us that will linger fcrever, Of a class who have shared their troubles together. — 11 —

1949 Class History Twelve long years ago members of the class of 1949 en- rolled in various schools for the first time. Only four members of the 1937 class have completed their entire twelve years of schooling at Hebbardsville. They are: Martha Staples, Frances Stone, Fielding Williams, and Preston Johnson. The rest of the present Senior Class of thirteen members have joined these four in the grades or in high school. We entered the seventh grade with an enrollment of 23, but when we graduated from the eighth grade, we had lost 3 members. Then we were Freshmen and Sophomores, with everyone calling us green and silly , but we thought we were pretty smart. We spent much of our time studying, but still found time to have fun- In the fall of '47 we started as Jolly Juniors, with Harry W. Lindenberg, Jr. as our principal. This was the year that the class presented the play, Socially Ambitious. This year, our twelve years of schooling end. We will al- ways be grateful to our parents for providing us with the op- portunity to receive a high school education, and to our teachers for the patience and consideration they have shown through the years that we were with them. — 12 —
