I f ! RETRCSPECT N It is impossible to relive all of the many events which we, as seniors, have experienced. For the significant influence of all the teachers who have had a part in our education, we shall be forever in their debt. Never can we forget those who have helped us progress in the world of knowledge. How far away the fall of 1949 seems! Is it possible that we are now almost at the age of maturity? Are we not almost adults? Our first teacher's sacrifices and efforts can never be forgotten. Even today we think of Miss lla Brizendine with warmth in our hearts, as it was she who first started us along the twelve-year path- way. I wonder how many times she was tempted to spank us. Surely the desire must have been great at times, for we were quite mischieveous. Of course, our second year with Miss Mary Ann Billups in the Community Building has to be mentioned. We just can't forget the water fountain in the back of the room. It offered temptation to all of us. Neither can we fail to mention Miss Louise Davis, one of our beloved teachers, who was responsible for us during the third grade. Attending school in the new elementary building was our biggest thrill during the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The teachers whom we loved and admired then, even as we do today, were Mrs. Green- wood, Mrs. Hargrove and Mrs. Littlepage. In the seventh grade we were fortunate in having Mrs. Wendenburg, another of our very excellent teachers, who instilled, in us the value of education. Some of us had to be separated from the other seventh graders because of over-crowded conditions and Mrs. Rilee taught some of these students in her combination class with six graders. ln this grade we began to grow up a little, to realize the sacredness of childhood, to understand the strength of home lifeg to appreciate the moral ideals of societyg and to have a wholesome vision of getting along with others. Being together again in the eighth grade was wonderful and having Mrs. Emily Stevens as our spon- sor, made our year more memorable. She helped us to do something about our intellectual hunger by advising us as we set up tentative schedules to follow during our highschool years--schedules re- lating to the plan of work we were to follow after completing high school. The tremendous highlight that year was our class party in Sterling Fowlkes' garage! Full of enthusiasm, we entered our freshman year with Miss Louise Sampson as our sponsor. We shall never forget our sponsor nor the many events which we experienced that year! The person who exertedthe greatest influence on us during the first nine years of our school days was Mrs. Ruth Phillips who joined the faculty at the beginning of our sophomore year. As sponsor, she helped us maintain co-operation and good will, and for this reason we really appreciated her more any other teacher with whom we had been in contact. Her earnest support was the vanguard in our pro- gress of learning to work well with others: Our thanks, too, to those who were responsible in carrying out the petition we signed at the endof our sophomore year to ask that Mrs. Phillips be ourjunior spon- sor. How happy we were when our wish was fulfilled. What thrills we experienced as juniors! Those memories will forever linger. Our first excitement was portrayed when our class rings arrived. We were a proud family, eager to show off something which was to be cherished forever--something to keep burning bright the m e mo ry of our dear old school days. Through working together with Mrs. Phillips, we made our Junior-Senior Prom a success. Our theme, ALOHA, was praised by students and faculty members who attended this wondrous event. Mrs. Phillips left us after that year, but she will be long remembered by each of us. In us she created a sense of responsibility, helping us want to put forth effort to make this a better world in which to live. To her we owe our faith, our hope, our progress, and our dreams. Now, as seniors,we have Mrs. Margaret White as our leader. With herkindness andunderstanding, she will help us open the door to the world of tomorrow if we awake at the right time. Tomorrow is just around the corner. Does that not make us sad? A few years ago we welcomed the time when we wouldbecome seniors, but now we wantto relive the by-gone days. In school We are experiencing more freedom than we shall ever experience in the adult world. Are we absorbing it all? Our education is like a lamp to our feet, we need it. Education is the light of life's pathway and the source of true wisdom . Let us pause now to thank all members of the King William I-ligh School faculty who have taught or led us in any way, and thank them also for being so patient with us when we were in conflict with each other. We want to leave a memory of truth and understanding. In the future we shall strive to show the world all the good things which we have acquired while getting our formal education at King William High--we want others to be proud of our school too ....
