The first graduating class in 1905, while the school was Gladeville College, con- sisted of two graduates. At this time the school offered eight subjects, including such subjects as Greek, Astronomy, and Political Economy. In this session of 1955-56, 40 courses are offered from which a pupil may choose either of three courses of study -- College, for those who plan to enter college upon graduation from high school; Business, for those who take Vocational Office Training or Distributive Education and plan to go directly into the business field upon graduation from high school; General, for those who wish to receive their diploma with no special- ized training. The following is a partial list containing the number of graduates and the valedic- torian since 1922: Number of Graduates Valedictorian 1922 12 No record 1925 6 No record 1926 8 Clay Roberson 1927 15 Katherine McElroy 1930 18 Richard Roscoe Roberts 1934 20 Rebecca Kilgore 1938 27 Lawrence Gilliam 1942 33 Jane Beverly 1946 31 Elizabeth Givens 1949 41 Ruby Breeding 1952 52 Benjamin Sturgill 1953 52 Edith Gardner 1954 72 Victor Hamilton 1955 87 Lona Wharton 1956 94 Zelma Sue Mullins
