CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1946, thirty-nine wise-foolish freshmen entered the toughest struggle thus far in our education at King School. All the girls except six occupied the Home Economics Department with Mrs. Lois Robertson as home room teacher, while the boys had as their home room. the science room. Mrs. Louise Campbell served as home room teacher the first half of the year and Mrs. Glen Moser, the latter part. We had plenty of excitement that Christmas when the boys joined the girls in the Home Economics Department for a fun-for-everyone party. Of course, everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. In the spring the boys' basketball team won the grade tournament and was presented a well-deserved trophy. I In the tenth grade, all of us were together in Mr. Neal's home room. We elected for our officers that year the following: President, Richard John- song Vice President, Betty Lou Searcy: Secretary and Treasurer, Lorene Lawson. That year we made much progress in athletics. Norma Faye Edwards, Edna Earl Edwards, Lena Faye Tedder, Jane Newsome, Ruth Knight, Richard Johnson, and Dean Hartgrove made the high school basketball teams, and Crow McGee made the high school baseball team. For entertainment that year, we had a party at the Club House. Mr. Neal was unable to attend. so Mrs. Stevens acted as chaperone. In the spring we had a weiner rDaSt at Reynolds Park. Naturally, all of us thought this was exciting. Our Junior year is still considered our most eventful year. The Hallo- we'en Carnival, which we sponsored, was one of the outstanding events of the year. We soon found out, though, that the preparation for it was much more fun than cleaning up afterwards. At Christmas Mrs. Stevens gave us a party at the American Legion Hut. She had everything .vell-planned, and after presents were passed out, everyone was so exhausted from the games we had played, we were ready to go home. May 14th, 1949, was the day that was looked forward to by all the Jun- iors and Seniors. You guessed it-it was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was to be held at the Cavalier Grill. The Juniors soon learned that we would have to settle down and really get to work, or there would be no banquet at all. With the urging and encouragement of Mrs. Stevens, we made a success of it, come May 14. It was a semi-formal affair with the boys wearing new suits and the girls wearing flowing evening gowns. The marshals that year were as follows: Betty Lou Searcy, chief 3 Sara Ferguson, Richard Johnson, Norma Faye Edwards, and Ola Jane Sells. At graduation exercises, 1949, Edna Earl Edwards and Sara Ferguson were announced as the girls to represent our school at Girls' State in Many have dropped out of school since we were freshmen, so our Senior Class of 24 is not very large. In December, we gave our Senior Play, Shiny Nose, and at Christmas we assembled at Mrs. Voss' house for a party which was enjoyed by everyone. Yes, we all know that the end of our school days is drawing nigh,'? and we should like to express our thankfulness toward the high school faculty and our principal for all the help that they have given us.
