SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Back in September, 1946 a group of eighth grade students could be seen wandering timidly around the L. H. S. halls vainly searching for their classes. There we were — the Class of ’51. After a week or two, however, we became accustomed to the general high school routine. In January we elected Betty Humphris President of our class. Robert Moses was elected to serve with her on the Honor Court and Philips Breckinridge and Jane Bailey, to represent us on the Executive Committee. Our first year at L. H. S. slipped by quickly and before we knew what had happened, we had gained the title of freshmen. Upon our return to school Robert Moses was elected class President. Jud Leech was Vice President, George Locher served as Secretary-Treasurer, and Nina Sperka represented us on the Honor Court. This year Pete Brewbaker devoted full time to his job of coach and turned his duties as principal over to Mr. H. B. Brockwell. Along with Mr. Brockwell came an avalanche of new teachers; namely, Misses Driver, Wilson, Davis, Cooke, and Dunlap. We began to take a more active interest in school activities this year and were well represented in every school function. Our sophomore year was a busy one. Jud Leech, Nina Sperka, and Grace Iannuzzi served respectively as President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer of our class. Billy Reid represented us on the Honor Court. This year our football team tied with Handley High School of Winchester for the district championship. The big social event of the year was the Christmas dance to which the girls invited the boys. It turned out to be a “howling success.” Robert Moses and Sally Christian, members of our class, had the leads in the Glee Club presentation of “Patience.” September rolled around again and, believe it or not, we were juniors. Jud Leech was again President of our class; Steve Dod was Vice President; Shirley Pope was Secretary- Treasurer. Betty Humphris and Lowell Hamric were our representatives to the Honor Court. This year we finally had a chance to wear class rings and were we proud of them! And who could ever forget the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance at the Mayflower! We worked hard to make it a success and we believe we succeeded. Then at least came our long-awaited senior year. Lowell Hamric took over his duties as President of the student body while Tommy Agnor assumed his duties as class President. Other officers were: Alargaret Ann Sibold — oops, I mean McKemy, Vice President of the student body; Betty Humphris, Secretary of the student body; Steve Dod, class Vice President; Joan Dod, class Secretary; Nina Sperka, Dorris Sensabaugh, and Jud Leech, Honor Court representatives. This has really been our biggest year. How can we ever forget all those football and basketball games, those wonderful dances, those memorable assemblies, those theses we had to write. (Really, they weren’t so bad now that they are over with.) There’s more fun coming! We are looking forward especially to another Junior- Senior Banquet, a trip to Washington, and, last but not least, graduation. The Class of ’51 bids a fond farewell to you, L. H. S. We’ll never forget you.
