We were starting a pilgrimage through the Holy Land (high school) in search of the Holy Grail (diploma) and many fierce foes (text books) were to be conquered. The very first obstacle we came to was the “Dark Forest of Freshmen.” We needed a guide through this unknown forest so we chose Creola Schumaker and her assistant was Brooks Mason. Richard Byrd kep„ a diary of the journey. We decided we would need entertainment so we asked Evelyn Curry and Peggy Madison to lead the songs and yells as we marched along. About a month after we began our journey a group of highwaymen (sophomores) swooped down upon us and left us with a very bewildered attitude and we progressed slowly but surely through the rest of the year. At last we were out of the “Dark Forest of Freshmen” and nearing the “River of Vacation . We paused to rest upon the banks and have a roll call. It seems that we had lost some of the Knights and Ladies of our company. There were Sixty- eight of us to continue on our pilgrimage at the end of the first year. ALer resting on the banks of the “River of Vacation” for three months, in September 1948 we entered the second dark forest which we soon discovered was “Forest of Sophomores”. We still needed an efficient guide so this time we chose Curtis Curry and his assistant was Creola Schumaker. Ramona Wooddell re¬ corded our adventures. We were not so frightened now so we chose Evelyn Curry and Ramona Wooddell to help entertain us. About this time we heard that a strange people had entered the “Forest of Fresh- nun so we Sent a group of our company (the initiation committee) to welcome them to the Holy Land. Some people from the faraway lands (senior class) presented a play for our amusement entitled “Cracked Nutts”. Representatives of our next peril (junior class) also presented a play, “Hobgoblin House,” but it scared a number of our followers and as we neared the end of our second year’s journey and ventured from the dark forest of Sophomores we had only fifty-eight Knights and Ladies in our company. We were told that we were over half-way through the Holy Land. Our next peril was Junior Moun¬ tain. Many rugged paths were to be followed so we took as our guide Creola Schumaker assisted by Naomi Mace. Our journey was recorded by Robert Viers and we chose Edna Lee McElwee and Evelyn Curry to he.p u, ovei the rough passes on the mountain side. We had a motto to keep our spirits high, “Not at the top but climbing.” We acquired some treasures as we climbed so Nancy Adkison guarded them with the utmost care. That year we sent a group of entertainers, the Junior Play Cast, which presented Here Comes Charlie” to the entire Holy Land (high school). We finally climbed to the top of the moun¬ tain and slowly marched down the other side. Somewhere along the way we gave a feast for the people from the forest beyond (Junior-Senior Banquet.) It seems the mountain was too steep for some of our Knigh.s and Ladies because we had only fifty people to march the last year of our adventure. We rested for a short time by the bubbling brook of vacation. September 1950 we entered the last year of our journey. This time we had Curtis Curry assisted by Celle„i, Gibson to guide us. This year’s adventure was through the “Forest of Seniors.” Craig Sharp kept a record of all the exciting happenings and Bob Viers guarded our hoard of valuables. We decided to write an account of our adventures so that the people plodding along in our footsteps would realize the fun and the work we had experienced. By this time we were beginning to see the light on the other side of the forest. We were honored by a feast near the end of the year, then suddenly we submerged into an opening a„ the edge of ihe forest and there stood a momentous tree “The Tree of Knowledge.” Lying at the base of the tree was the coveted and precious treasure for which we had searched so many years, “The Holy Grail” (our diploma). Without realizing it we had acquired knowledge along the way and we had enjoyed the four years spent in the Holy Land (high school) more than we can express in this diary of our journey.

The Knights and Ladies separated and progressed in various directions. In 1975 we are now following those Knights and Ladies to see where they have settled and just what they are doing. We mount our trusty steeds and slowly start across the land. We pause to rest at a small inn which we are informed is managed hy none other than Eddie VanReenen and Eldon Fertig. We are served a delicious meal by Mary Ann Biggs, who is their cook and a wonderful one. We remount and continue on our way, our guide throughout our journey is Howard Gibson from Hire-a-Guide Inc. which is run by Robert Raines while he is on vacation from Ringley Brothers Circus as their main attraction, “The World’s Fattest Man.’’ By this time we have arrived near Washington, D. C. We are given many opportunities of using modern transportation but we still prefer our horses. As we near that city we hear of the election which is taking place. Robert Viers is running for Vice President, his campaign manager is Jennie Howard (Viers) of course. It seems his opponent is the Robert Williams who just resigned as Secretary of Interior to run for Vice-President. Before we enter the city the election is over and the votes are counted. Mr. Viers is the new Vice-President. Oh! yes, Mr. Harry Truman is still President and the Korean affair has never been settled. President Truman has sent General Craig Sharp back to Japan to oversee the next advancement. While in Washington we visit the FjB.I. and find Naomi Mace, Peggy Madison and Barbara Nelson patiently searching old records and fingerprints for some clue to the Dog-House Thief. We finally leave the city and travel farther north passing many farms along the way. The largest one being owned by Louis (McClure. We have now come to the largest city in the world, yes, New York City. Much to our disappointment we find that horses are not allowed on Broadway since Curtis McKenney became Mayor and we must dis¬ mount and aboard a streetcar owned by Sterling Broyles Transportation Co. As we whizz down Broadway we see so many familiar names flashing on and off on the marquee signs, we decide to visit some of the theatres. The first one we visit is owned by the great British actor, Fred Johnson, and the play is the famous “Macbeth” by Shakespeare. I believe we studied that play as Seniors in M.H.S. in 1951. While in New York we visit the famous night club, “The Rambler” owned and operated by Eadie Linebaugh who is also the drummer for the most famous orchestra in America-Brooks Mason’s. Oh! I almost forgot when we were in Baltimore, Maryland we visited the John Hopkins Hospital and were informed that Nancy Adklnson was the head nurse. Betty Jackson was her assistant. Betty always did like nursing. Now the time has come to journey across the states. Our horses are rested so we mount them and gallop into the wild, wild west. As we cross the stat. e line between Nebraska and Colorado we are stopped by an officer of the Law. He looks like a sheriff bu t by his garb you would think he was a cowboy. Why, my goodness its Kendall McNeill. He forgot to polish his Sheriff badge this morning. He warned us to be on the lookout for a couple desperate characters B illy Reynolds and James Malcom who have decided to conquer the West. We continue our journey cautiously because we prefer peace. As we cross the Painted Desert in Arizona we are offered taxi-service by the “Calhoun Desert Hoppers,” a cab company owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Calhoun, (Mrs. Calhoun is the former Miss Glenna Jean Rhea. We crossed into California and visited the Golden Gate Bridge, while there we got a glimpse of Virginia Mullens on her way to the docks to meet her husband, Admiral Kenneth Mullens on his way home from Korea. Next we decide to go to Texas and of course we had to cross Arizona again. This time we -met Norman Shaw and Gray Jackson on their way to Hollywood. They had just signed a contract with Paramount -Movie Agency to play the roles of Red Ryder and Little Beaver. After discussing many things with them we progress to Texas where we find Creola Schumaker, oh no, Crelo Wilson running a jack rabbit farm while her husband Bill Wilson instructs the Jet Plane Class at Lackland Air Base. We visit Texas Western University and find many of our old schoolmates on the faculty list. Professor of English is Harry Tyree and their coach is the famous Curtis Curry. The team has won many victories throughout the basketball and football -seasons. We are on the trail once more and gallop we must for we have a long way to go. We are crossing the southern states. We stop in Louisiana and find Robert Bright catching flies for a jam factory-Oh! I mean a baseball team. We cross Georgia into the Orange State, Florida. We visit Miami Beach and who do you suppose is lifeguard, yes you guessed it! Collett Gibson with his handsome physique. They were in the midst of a bathing beauty contest and who do you suppose was the judge Ray Hannah—and -the winner, oh yes, Ramona Wooddell Sharp, they finally found her after seaching the Florida swamps since 1951. Of course Styrl is furious because now all the men will get to look at her. Why we are in Alabama already -and we hear that The All-American Red Heads” are playing their last game of the season. Their manager is Betty Clark as she is too short to play. We decide to visit Nashville, Tennessee and the Grand Ole Opry. The Mullens Brothers have taken Eddie Arnold and Roy Acuff’s place. Their record “Gals of West Virginia” is No. 1 on the nations hit parade. It seems Johnny was referring to his blonde from Hillsboro. Clyde meant Eva Jane Davis of course. Just tune your radio down Nashville way, you can hear them most anytime of the day. We were told not to miss the tobacco auction at Louisville, Kentucky because there we would hear the fastest auctioneer in the world, yes it is the chatterbox of the -Senior Class of ’51, Marshall Deputy. We pull rein on our faithful horses and slowly dismount because we are finally back in West Virginia at- Marlinton. Many of the Knights and Ladies remained near the Castle of Marlinton High School. -Mr. Yeager is still the principal but we see Anna J ean Daetwyler is the American History teacher and she is really hated -by the students just because o f her position in M.H.S. Is seems Cecile LaRose is the Home Ec teacher and Home Demonstration Agent. She always -was quite a homemaker. As we walk out horses along the familiar roads we hear that Joans Eilley, reporter for the Marlinton Journal is writing -an aticle on our journey. Our horses need grooming and we decide to let them enjoy the benefits of “Betties -Beauty Shoppee.’ The owners are Betty Liptrap, Betty Long and Bett y Pennington. That may seem rather odd but after such faithful service they deserve the best. Flash! Flash! Miss Dorothy Stuart just becam e Mayoress of Richwood, Dot always did love Richwood even back in 1950 and ’51. We remount and ride slowly around the countryside. We meet iBdb Gay, the county agent. It seems he had been making a tour of Pocahontas County F arms. He directed us to the “Moore Haven,” the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas -Moore. Evelyn thinks little Tommy is the very image of his father. We do too. It seems that one lady remained at home, no she is just home on vacation. Miss Grace Dean is now employed by the publishing company that prints the text books, M.H.S. -uses. And as always there isn’t any sabotage in the book industry. ■ That seems to end our adventures so we will let our horses rest and pause for refreshments at Betty Shinaberry’s roadside inn, Knight’s and Ladies Retreat.
