We put aside our paper dolls, blocks and dolls and began that crude thing of learning. Reading, ' riting, and ' rithmetic became the important things in our life. The following September we moved to Miss West ' s room where we began a wider knowledge of spelling and arithmetic. Entering the third grade we were introduced to a new arithmetic called multiplication and division. In this grade we also caught hold to that subject English which has been hovering over our door ever since. Another important character in this class was the butter paddle which Mrs. Atto used to make us behave. The next year we were presented with two more new subjects--history and geography. Here we learned that the earth was round and that there were also four directions. North, East, South, and West. Mrs. Robertson, our teacher, also attempted to teach us how to sing. Unaware that Miss Maupin did not have enough to worry about, several came from Tye River and Arrington. It was in this class that we organized a Good English Club but in¬ stead of our English improving it became worse. In our sixth grade, we had Mrs. Bowling who tried and succeeded in teaching us about the Bible. We had movies nearly every day and her famous record books were intro¬ duced. The next year we moved across the auditorium to Mrs. Larke ' s seventh grade. There we learned that hypotenuse did not mean a baby hippopotamus. That year we had our first graduation and commencement from the elementary school. Naomi Lawhorne was valedictorian and Barbara Satterwhite was salutatorian. We finally reached the first year of high school, the second milestone of our life. Our class was divided into two sections--Miss Lila ' s and Mr. Atto ' s. Will we ever forget that trip down on Mr. Atto ' s farm? In the ninth grade we were astounded by tnat subject algebra and another called biology and a new type of history, ancient history . We never could understand how U ' s averaged an S , but that seemed to have been the way in Miss Walker ' s classes. Somehow we all managed to pass. When we entered our Junior Class we were introduced to something called the com¬ mercial department headed by Mrs. Roberts. That ' s where we learned what the mecha¬ nism of a typewriter was and in bookkeeping we learned that the present capital didn ' t always mean Washington, D. C. Mr. Coco was our history and English directory. Here we learned that such things as subjects and verbs must agree. We were already getting the air of being L. H. S. ' s Senior class of 1953. Nevertheless, our Junior Class will al¬ ways be a memorable one because we received our class rings and giving the 1952 Seniors their prom was quite an experience for all of us. Now that we are Seniors we have been given the name of privileged characters. This year has been endeared by the loving patience and guidance of our beloved teacher, Mrs. Lillian Coleman. Every day at 2:25 we hear a sermon by Mrs. Mary Roberts, our short¬ hand instructor. The sermons are based on the subjects of skipping classes and being tardy--this being exercised by the privileged Seniors only. Despite all we ' ve said and done to our teachers we will always remember them and their good-naturedness. May the future years hold in store for you as much as it has for us. Good bye! Class Historians: Anna Watts Barbara Satterwhite - 16 - CUSS PROPHICV It had been quite a few years since I was graduated from school, and not long ago I got one of those whims and wanted to discover what had happened to the boys and girls that had made up my class. Last year I had been elected Speaker of the House and when the time came to adjourn I was among the first to pack up and leave. I felt that after a year of duties and work that I had incurred as Speaker of the House I needed a vacation and a change of scenery. My first stop was my home place and the school at which I had spent my happy school days. It was not the school I attended; here in its place was a modern consolidated high school. When I inquired about the principal I was told by a cute freshman with red hair and freckles that he might be found in his office. I timidly opened the door marked Principal and peeked in. There sat Mr. Reed some¬ what older but quite distinguished looking. When he found out my mission he called his secretary, Marie Giles, to help me. Marie was married but when the new school was built she had come back to take up the duties as Mr. Reed ' s private secretary. Marie was very helpful because she was able to give me addresses of our former classmates. The ones I found who were near by were: June Bryant who is married and teaching home econo¬ mics at Appomattox High School; Harriet Ashley, Secretary to the President of the bank here in Lov- ingston. Betty Henderson is the wife of a very successful and beloved Doctor in the community. Taking up my list of addresses I moved on to Lynchburg where I saw Shirley Bell who is teaching biology at E. C. Glass High School. I found Martha Hughes, secretary to the advertising manager of the News Office. Next on my list was Mildred Brent. Mildred, vivacious as ever, is the Athletic Director at Y. W.C. A. Bobby Elliott and Fred Gowen, I discovered, are owners and operators of a prosperous hardware store near Lynchburg. After looking up all my old friends here I proceeded to motor to Washington and on my way up I stopped over to see Etta Lawhorne who is the supervisor at the home office of the Bell Telephone Company here in Richmond. I found one more classmate here, Elizabeth Perry who is a nurse at McGuire Hospital. She was as helpful and cheerful as ever. Black book in hand I came back to Washington and set out to find some of my old friends with whom I had lost contact. Elizabeth Bailey had come to Washington soon a f ter graduation and now held a high position as secretary to a foreign Ambassador. The reason I had not seen her before, both of us being in the same city, was the fact that her duties carried her to many countries and she never spent more than a couple of weeks here. Elizabeth informed me that Anna Watts was a top official in the Secret Service Department. It seems strange that Anna ever learned to keep a secret. Over the river, in Alexandria, I found June Harris who is now the Supervisor of a nursery there. Patricia Huffman is an important executive in one of Alexandria ' s big department stores. I moved on to Fredericksburg to see Clarence Wright who is pastor of one of the leading churches in this town. I learned that his sister Lucille was teaching here and a wonderful teacher, I know. I started north to New York where quite a few of my old friends now reside. I stopped over in Philadelphia to see Leonard Stewart who is playing for the Philadelphia Steelers; Leonard told me that Bobby Dunn was also a professional football player and was playing for the Chicago Cardinals. I found one more old friend here, Janice Kidd who is a registered nurse and head supervisor in the General Hospital. Next stop. New York, wonderful old New York! Many of my pals had found the city of their liking. Nancy Norvelle married and a very glamorous Powers model. Where Nancy is Betty Ann Hardiman is too. She is teaching dancing at one of the most exclusive dancing studios in New York, but also combining the role of wife with her career. After ringing a few more doorbells I found Patty Fortune who is the fashion illustrator for one of the largest fashion magazines. I learned from Patty that Jane Wood is teaching English at Longwood College. I moved westward next to Chicago for my addresses contained some Chicago residents I located Pat Terry who is a successful engineer. 1 learned from Pat that Marion Gowen was a yeoman in the Navy and Secretary to some of the top officials. He also remarked that Thomas Ashley was in the Army, stationed at the new training station in Antarctica. My search took me across the states to California. In Los Angeles Evelyn Smith is Stewardess for United States Airlines but she told me she would have to give up her job soon as she was getting married. She was not the only friend in the city; Peggy Harlow is a photographer here in a well- known studio. Earl Hale is assistant coach at the University of Southern California. My next swing was south. Down to Texas I journeyed to look up Addie Gowen who is head of a large insurance company operating in that area. He was able to tell me that Marvin Crank was an engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Further south to New Orleans and to Lee Fitzgerald who is manager of the Calico Plant located here. Lee told me that Otis Brent owns a chain of drug stores situated below the Mason Dixon line. My vacation had almost come to an end. I wound it up by stopping over in Macon, Georgia to see Shelby Thompson who is teaching religious education in the public schools. Back in Washington I managed to visit Barbara Satterwhite who is head nurse at Gallenger Hospital. It was with a deep feeling of satisfaction that I took up where I left off the year before for I had found my friends, happy doing the things they wanted and getting the most from life.
