REVIVAL Having successfully completed eight years of elementary education, approx¬ imately eighty-seven eager students entered the freshman class in 1954 to begin the unforgettable journey towards graduation. To lead us through the affairs of our freshman year, we elected Phyliss Rose, president; John Shelhorse, vice-president; Catherine Abernathy, secretary; and Jerry Swart, treasurer. Realizing the need for money in the future, these off i cers organized various money-making projects. Three members of the class participated in the Virginia Latin Tournament. By the time we were sophomores, we had realized that high school meant work as well as play. Eight annexation students from Spotsylvania were add to our num¬ bers. The officers we chose were John Shelhorse, president; Tommy Garnett, vice- president; Carolyn Smith, secretary; and Tommy Thomas, treasurer. Sue Nunnally, Jane Fenlon, and Frankie Cromer again helped to represent the school in the state Latin tournament. The whole class spentmuch time studying the novel, Silas Marner, and Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. We had now reached the half-way mark.

Gwaltney was our SCA vice-president; and Jane Fenlon, serving as the secretary, was elected secretary of the district SCA and was nominated for the state SCA presidency of the following year. Caro! Stein¬ berg won first place in the state F.B.L.A. public speaking contest, and placed sec¬ ond in the National Region. Frank Woolley received honorable mention for his entry in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science Contest. Incentive awards for girls ' bas¬ ketball, boys ' basketball, and track were given to Norma Sullivan, John Shelhorse, and Tommy Garnett respectively. The introduction of semester examinations to the school system caused extra studying during the year. An interesting experience for everyone was the history class trip to Jamestown. The entire class greetedthe arrival of our class rings with extreme delight. To attend Girls ' and Boys ' State in the spring. Sue Nunnally, Catherine Abernathy, Caroline Perry, Jane Fenlon, Carole Steinberg, Roy Smith, and Carl Gwaltney were elected. The year was climaxed by our taking the place of the seniors on Move-Up Day and the prom which we gave the graduating class.
