H I S T O R Y O F C L A S S 0 F l 9 5 2 On one bright September morn in 1948, forty-eight green auibewildered Freshmen added there faces to H. H. S. Our first event was initiation and we were glad when this was over. Our sponsor was Mr. Albert Dickson, then principal of the school, and our first president was Robert Robertson. We gave a school party April 3rd in honor of theSeniors that were to graduate the coming spring and it was very successful. Marjorie Guernsey and David Wood were crowned Queen and King of the school. Then to complete our first year as Freshmen we went to Spring Hill State Park. We started off as Sophomores wiulthirty-eight and this year Christena Guthrie was elected for the president. Our sponsor was Mr. Furnish, the basketball coach. The Seniors that year gave a Fall Festiwn.and eadiclass was to select a Queen, which was to be crowned that night. We sent from our class, Barbara Killebrew. We had two cheerleaders elected from our class, Christena Guthrie and Dwight Killebrew. To wind up our Sophomore year we took a trip to Clifty Falls Park. This was a busy year for the twenty-eight of us left. We sold con- cessions at the basketball games to make money for the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. We gave the Christmas Party and a play at the party entitled, The Christmas Baby . Everyone exchanged gifts about the lighted tree but we never got to see 01 Saint Nick. Patsy Henretty was put in the presidents chair and Betty Smallwood was Queen of the F. F. A. Banquet. Mrs. Rugh Koelher, the Home Economics teacher, was our sponsor. After much arguing we picked the rings that suited everyone. Almost. We gave a banquet in the Seniors honor at the Colonial Manor, fried chicken was served with all the trimmings. Our Senior year seemed like the shortest of all, maybe because we were so busy most of the time. Teenny Guthrie was again elected president of our class. Just about the first thing we dmiwas to sell magazines to help finance our trip to Washington D. C. There were two sides picked to com- pete against each other in the drive to sell the most. We set a goal for each side of $400. Three girls were awarded oscars for the highest sales- manship they were Marjorie Guernsey, Christena Guthrie, and Doruea Norman. Billy Elrod was awarded a wallet for the highest sales amongst the boys. We had string music at our party which was given about a month aher school started. We danced, ate, and had a talent snow Which a Freshman won with that good old hill billy singing. We needed all the money we could at for our trip, so we had a Queen Drive on all year long. We selected for our Queen, Betty Taylor, who was to represent us in the class tourney when we were to crown the Queen. The lucky girl was a Junior named Mae Stotts. We had a paper drive and we did make good on it but we thought we were going to get left with all that paper on our hands and in our garages. As always the Seniors give a play and ours was a three act comedy entitled, Teen Time . The highlight of the year was our six day tour to Washington D. C. We got on the train at Louisville Ky. and rode all night and until early in the morning where we left the train at Williamsburg Va. We toured the town until evening and then we went to get on the boat to ride to our des- tination. We stayed at the Carroll Arms which was very nice but we just didn't get to stay long enough.
