CLASS HISTORY Our firstyear at Manassas in 1952, was like the beginning of a new life. We had before us a great challenge and many objectives and goals to accomplish. There were approxi¬ mately 160 students in our class at that time representing four counties; Fairfax, Warren, Fauquier, and Prince Wil¬ liams County. During the first year the class was organized and we were ready to meet our goals. During this year the students of Fauquier County were transferred to a new high school in Warrenton, Virginia , causing our class to be fewer in number. Yet, this did not alter our plans to do great things. Our sophomore year found us accomplishing many of our goals and optimistically looking to the future when we learned that a new high school was being built in Fairfax, our own county, and that we would have to leave dear old Manassas the following year. Throughout the year, all of the students were excited a- bout going to the new school. Their thoughts were confused with sadness which comes from leaving behind something cherished, while at the same time wanting to engage in a new adventure. So in September, 1954 we were students in the beautiful Luther Jackson High School in Merrifield , Virginia, where we were members of the junior class. The first year at Luther Jackson was the most exciting in our class history. Even though we had to leave so many of our understanding teachers and classmates at Manassas, we found new friendships in our teachers and students at Luther Jackson, along with spacious quarters and the best equipment at our disposal. The many changes which occurred during our high school days may have lessened our number, but it served to broaden our intellectual and cultural life and provided invaluable contacts and experiences. 18
