We began our four year adventure in the fall of '40 with 124 in the freshman class. Miss Taylor. Mr. Barnhart, and Mr. Hoover served as our homeroom teachers. We elected Roy Watkins, president; Jim German, vice-president; Diane Hammond, secretary-treasurer. We will never forget our freshman party and the fun we had. As sophomores we elected Roy Watkins, president; Bob Cawthon. vice-president; and Jo Retry, secretary-treasurer. That year we cele- brated with a big havride. Miss Winland and Mr. Hoover were our sponsors. Our junior year was a big one and one to be remembered. We accomplished a lot that year especially carrying through what we thought was a very clever and successful Junior- Senior Prom— On an Island With You.” In order to successfully carry out our prom plans, we sold magazines and hose. (We made our goal and then some!) Also that year we were the first class to receive our class rings at the beginning of the school year. Were we proud! With Roy Watkins as president: Jo Petry, vice-president: Bette Gatrell. secretary-treas- urer; and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards as class spon- sors. we had a wonderful time. Then suddenly we were Dignified Seniors.” We waited for a long time and yet it seems like only yesterday we were just scared little fresh- men. We again elected Roy atkins as presi- dent; Larry Davis. Vice-President; and Jo Petry. secretary-treasurer. We s| onsored the senior faculty ball game and the box social. We might add that since we were fresh- men we had the highest number of students representing our class on the honor roll all four years. We also won first place with the prize- winning float. We’ll Plow 'Em under,” at Homecoming and now are to become one of the largest graduating classes in years with 72 to receive diplomas.
