SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FRANCES: Nancy, do you remember the fall of 1941 when we started at L. H. S.? NANCY: How well I remember that first year! Miss Dillon met us at the door of the first grade room with the promise that we'd be reading and writing our names before very long. FRANCES: Yes, and I recall how I en- vied Beverlyis long finger curls. Barbara, Bertha Rae and your little pigtails got their start that year. NANCY: Mrs. Simpson carried us through the next two years, and if I remember cor- rectly Henry joined us in the second grade. Didn't you and Anne leave us in the third grade? FRANCES: Yes, Anne went to Ashburn and I went to Lucketts. What happened after we left? NANCY: Well, all went smoothly in the fourth grade under Miss Stoneburner. Ann Moss and Teddy came from Mountain Gap to join our group study of Virginia with Mrs. Urcell Bradfield. FRANCES: Excuse me, but havenit I heard you say before that you had a lot of excitement the next year? Don't for- get to tell me about it. NANCY: Oh, yes, that year we were di- vided for the first time. Some of our gang went along with Miss Willie Smith on that awful day of division and the rest stayed with Miss Clemens. FRANCES: Oh, the excitement. NANCY: Yes, Miss Clemens changed her name to Mrs. Kline at Christmastime. But we weren't sorry, because we liked Mr. Kline so well. FRANCES: Did you get back together in the.seventh grade? NANCY: Yes, Mrs. Ruth Bradfield kept us together and Shirley came from Hamil- ton to graduate with us the first time. FRANCES: Now this is where I fit into the picture again. Our dreams of high school finally came true when we came from Lucketts, Ashburn, Sterling and Wa- terford to join Leesburg. We had all grad- uated too, and were ready to begin our high school career as the class of ,53. NANCY: Anne Church came back that year and brought Tam, editor of the Chat- terbox, with her. You brought James Carnes, class president, with you and Lois came from Waterford to become editor of the Ketoctin. FRANCES: Remember how the freshmen initiated us that year? Oh well, we Fixed the eighth grade the next year. But most important was that we spent those hrst three years, as eighth graders, Freshmen and Sophomores, getting to know each other. NANCY: Then came that wonderful, hard-working Junior year. Didnit we have loads of fun presenting the Talent Show, selling Christmas Cards and having danc- es to make money for the Prom? FRANCES: But more fun than that was decorating the auditorium and then at- tending the One-and-Only P R O M. Wasn't it a good idea to decorate with Oriental Gardens as a theme? NANCY: Oh yes, we really have some artistic-minded people in our class, don't we? And it was fun decorating for grad- uation. FRANCES: And now Nancy, we've final- ly made it! It seems impossible that we're working on the annual, but here we are! NANCY: Yes, we have been like one big happy family. I 7
