Flower: White Carnation Colors: Fuschia and Gold ln September 1937, there were fourteen wide-eyed chil- dren who entered the enormous school building for their first day of school. Of all these children only Ramona Gahm re- mained in this school to be graduated with the other Forty- niners . During the next two years two students dropped out but in the fourth grade one student entered making the very un- lucky number of thirteen. The bad luck seemed to continue for the class as five dropped out leaving only eight students in the fifth grade, then four more moved away making four to enter the sixth grade. Esta Bean entered the next fall, and Juanita Nuzum was dropped from the class roll. James Towne and Mary McDaniel entered making the eighth grade class six in number. Then ca.me the day for these students to start their ninth year in school. They entered high school as Green Freshmen in September, 1945. This was done very gracefully by Charlotte Anderson, Esta Bean, Thersa Conyers, Ramona Gahm, Nina Jones, Mary McDaniel, Barbara Smith, and James Towne. During the tenth grade Charlotte Anderson left and Richard Hagberg came making the eight who carried on until their elev- enth year when Arlene Rowe enrolled and Barbara Smith and Richard Hagberg left. This left six in the class. During the surnmer between their Junior and Senior years, Theresa Conyers dropped out to join the ranks of married women leaving the remaining five, namely: Esta Bean, Ramona Gahm, Nina Jones, Arlene Rowe, and James Towne to be graduated May 18, 1949. They are small in numberbut great in ambitions, plans, and hopes for their futures. These graduates, known as the Forty-niners , have many happy memories upon which to reflect. They feel they owe much of their school success to their parents, who have sacrificed much to help them, and to the mem- bers of the faculty who have helped them continuously. 10
