Paul Milam was our sponser in the eighth grade. Since hay-rides were the rage, we planned one, too. For our second party, a weiner roast was held at Chet Lahr ' s. Spin the milk bottle was our favorite game for some odd reason. Our officers for the year were: President, Eldon Paul; Vice-president, Pat Kelsey; Secretary -treasurer, David Stump. Chet Lahr, Gene Ruby and Jack Clark joined us while Mark Augspurger, Phil Augspurger, Irvin Carpenter, Dean Endsley, Robert Herring, Elizabeth Hine, Thomas Hyser, Milford Lambert, Ervin McKinzie, Anna Jane Pequinot, Howard Smith, Phyllis Sprinkle, Daniel Tucker, Richard Weaver, and Glenn Wood took their leave. At last we were in High School. We chose Floyd Davis for our Freshmen sponsor. Our first party was at Piatt ' s. The next one was a theatre party at Huntington. After we ate at Willy Winchester ' s, we piled into Mr. Davis ' car and went to the bus. Imagine nineteen kids in Davis ' car! Our officers were: President, Pat Kelsey; Vice- president, Eldon Paul; Secretary-treasurer, David Stump. We gained William Win- chester and Clara Jean Clark, and we lost Robert Orr and Juanita McKinzie. We gained the title of Sophomores. Again we chose Mr. Davis for our sponsor. This year we had several parties. The first on e was a sliding party at Jane Shideler ' s. Later we had a barn party at Jeanette Johnson ' s. Pat proved herself to be quite a driver that night. We gained Gene Strahm and lost Mildred Lewark, Norma Miller, Gene Ruby, Chester Lahr, and Jack Clark. Our officers this year were: President, Eldon Paul; Vice-president, Gene Ruby; Secretary-treasurer, Margaret Bachman. Our Junior year came and went very swiftly. Joan Mcturnan sponsored us through this activity-filled year. We sold candy and ice cream, had skating parties, and finally made enough money to take the Seniors of 1947 and ourselves to Chicago for a three-day trip. This was the first trip of this kind ever sponsored by a class in Roanoke High School. It was a very profitable experience for all of us. Another important event was the Junior play, Belles in Waiting, which was a huge success. It was directed by Mrs. McCreery. Our Christmas party was held at Redding ' s. From all reports, they are still wading around in cider. We went on a hay-ride which ended at George Ness ' where the girls danced and the boys played basketball. Another hay-ride was held for Gene Strahm when he was home on furlough from the service. This year we gained James Caston, Nedra Pence, and George Pinney. Our officers were President, Tommy Piatt; Vice-president, Eldon Paul; Secretary, Jeanette Johnson; and Treasurer, Pat Kelsey. In our last year at our beloved Alma Mater, we chose June McCreery for our sponsor. Our officers were: President, Eldon Paul; Vice-president, George Pinney, Sec- retary, Donna Redding; Treasurer, Pat Kelsey. Our first party was a picnic which was held at Long Lake. When the rabbit season came in, our able nimrods took to the woods and brought in eight sickly rabbits. We devoured these and the rest of our pot luck supper at Eldon Paul ' s.
