ClASS HISTORY Here it is our Senior Year of school and as we look back over our school years there are many happy memories. Many of us were doubtful about starting in the first grade but Miss Boyd soon dispersed our fears. It was here that we learned our A, B, C ' s and how to count. Miss Cecil Parr was our teacher in the second grade. We learned a lot ofnew songs and learned how to play soft ball. At the end of the year we were eagerly a- waiting what the next year would bring. In the third grade most of us remember Mrs. Atto and her paddle. It was just about every day that someone was sent into the hall for misbehaving. In the fourth grade, Mrs. Robertson, taught us the meaning of the three R ' s. Geography was added to our other subjects, and it was here that we learned that the world is round. Miss Maupin, our fifth grade teacher, would always catch us chewing gum and throwing paper even when her back was turned. We never did quite understand this. The most remembered incident in our sixth grade was Mrs. Bowling ' s Christmas pageants. Our seventh grade was divided between Mrs. Larke and Mrs. Terry. The most memorable day was the one on which we graduated from grade school. In the eight grade under Mr. Atto and Miss Somerville, we were joined by a group from Shipman, Norwood, and Arrington. We will always remember Mr. Atto telling us in Science Class about the girls he had seen at the beach and the trips he had taken on vacation. In the ninth grade Miss Walker tried to teach us that X and Y do have a value other than being A, B, C ' s. Mr. Coco will always be remembered as our tenth grade teacher. It was many a time that he caught us with our minds on the ball game or on the date we had last night or were going to have. And nowweare in the graduating class of ' 54. We will always remember and be thankful for our teachers, principal, and parents who helped us through school and made us eligible for a diploma from L. H. S. Class Historian Betty Wood CUSS PROPHECY Well, here it is 1964, and although it seems like only yesterday, it has been ten years since I was graduated from Lovingston High school, in 1954. Since I had saved a large sum of money, during the summer I thought I would visit the places where I was most likely to find my former class-mates. Ileft in a plane from Texas and flew directly to Florida. At the hotel where I made my reservations, I saw Phyllis Gowen. She told me that she was happily married to the owner of the hotel. Phyllis also informed me that a lot of our former classmates had positions in Florida. I was on the beach one day enjoying the sun, when I heard someone call my name. As I turned I recognized the familar face of Joyce Wooten. Joyce told me that she and Myrtle Harris were working as models for an exclusive agency in Florida. She also said that Dorothy Payne was a well known movie actress and came to Florida with her company to make movies. I also saw Ruby Stevens who was living down there while her husband, in the navy, was stationed there. One afternoon while I was on a shopping spree I saw Elizabeth Thompson who was manager in a large department store. She told me that Patsy White was married to the owner of the store and owned a beautiful home in Miami. After my stay in Florida, I boarded a plane and left for Virginia. Much to my surprise Paul Dameron was pilot of the plane. Shirley Walkup was stewardess on the plane, and she said she liked her position very much. The plane landed in Lynchburg and when I went in the airport I saw Shannon Rag¬ land, busily working at her desk; while talking to Shannon I learned that some of our classmates were teaching at E.C. Glass School, sol got a taxi and headed there. While on a tour of the school, I stopped in the Commercial Room. There was Dora Harvey, very efficient looking, teaching her typing class. Dora told me that Virginia Umbarger and Roberta Lowe were both married and teaching at E. C. Glass . (Continued)
