Ae the Ship of Knowledge w a cruising down the Sea of Learning, it pulled into harbor at McAfee High School to leave a group of Green Preshmen there to greet their upper classmen and beloved faculty. With willing hands, scheming minus, and an unsurpassed determination to sail forward, we had a successful year under the leadership of our home room teacher, Mr. Bruce Champion. Our class officers were elected as follows: Preeident--Prank Wiley, Vise-Presiuent--Burney MoCoun, Treasurer—Walter Watson, Secretary- Kvelyn sexton, and Reporter—Charles UcUurry. We also enlarged our school life as we Joined various clubs such as Y-Teens, P.P.A., Glee Club, and 4 H. As Silly Sophomores we continued on our cruise with our new officers at the wheel: President--Davis Marksbury, Vice-President—Jimmy Sexton, See- retary--Evelyn Sexton, Treasurer—Burney McCotfn, Reporter—Kenneth White, and Sponsor--Mr. Bruce Champion. We regretted the lose that year of two of our comrades, Mildred Green and Davis Marksbury, but we have strived to carry on without them. We welcomed Kenneth Bell as a new crew member from Salvisa. Our successful Sophomore voyage was closed with a weiner roast at Herrington Lake. When we were Jolly Juniors our crew of the Hornet was enlarged by eleven crew members of the Pair Memoirs who had served two years under the mast at Fairview School. Being thus seasoned sailors, they soon proved fine shipmates and we have greatly enjoyed our continued voyage together. We started our cruise by electing our officers as follows: President-Kenneth White, Vice-Presicent—Kenneth Lay, Secretary—Evelyn Sexton, Treaeurer- Wilma Moore, Reporter--Jeanetta Watts, and Sponsor------Mr. A. T. Hensley. We had lots of fun giving our Junior play, What A Family, under the fine leadership of our sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Speaks. Burney McCoun, Franklin Cole, Howard Gibson, Lafon Wheeler, Kenneth Bell, and Walter Watson left the ship during our Junior year which closed with an excursion voyage to the Great anoky Mountains with the Seniors of 1951. Mow our long, but enjoyable, cruise approaches its climax as we begin our final voyage under the leadership of our ship's officers: President--Kenneth Lay, Vice-President—Kenneth White, Secretary--Evelyn Sexton, Treasurer, Wilma Moore, Reporter—Jeanetta Watts, and Sponsor—Mrs. Lee A. Peavler. Our erew again has lost two members: Prank Wiley and Bobby Poulter. To help compensate for their loss, we have gained two other members: Margaret Ann Wilham and Joe Graham. we feel that our Senior play and year book have been wall worth the effort and heartaches that were endured along the way. The time has now come for us to dock our ship ana depart our separate ways of life. Many of our crew will eail on to more distant cruises in their search for higher knowledge anc many will settle down to a landsman's life. In the tradition of sailors of ages past, we propose a toast to all for the future and give a thanks to all for the past, and say, ere we bid our fond farewells, May all our memories be happy ones!
