C ass jHjstoru On September, 1954, we, the freshmen of West Street High School were happier than ever, knowing that this was the beginning of our high school career. The various teachers of dear West Street High glimpsed over 200 freshmen chatting merrily in the halls. In less than a week, however, the teachers and freshmen became acquainted. Our hearts will always remain thankful to our advisors who helped us to overcome the problems that confronted us. Our advisors were: Mr. F. Baker, Mrs. G. R. Brown, Mrs. N. Evans, Mr. G. C. Fields, and Mr. G. A. Harrison. Nine boys and girls became interested in the band. They were Catherine Murrell, Vivian Adams, Patricia Mumford, Marvin Morgan, while Joyce E. Best, Edna Mills, Barbara Thurston, and Gertrude Kirkman became Glee Club members. We were proud to have Elearnor Jarmond as a majorette, while Louise Dudley, Theresa Stewart, and Joan Murrell were on the Pep Squad.
