ciAss Hisroiiv Memories crowd upon us as we struggle to record our history of activities and events through twelve years of school life at Millboro School. It has been a long and tedious journey, but a very satisfactory one. We have been taught and guided through the years by wise and educated teachers, and our association together has enriched and streng¬ thened every memory. In the fall of 1940, thirty-six very young pupils enrolled with Miss Haynes for our first taste of school life. Looking back now, we can remember how strange the new environment seemed to us, going out for the first time into the wide world. The years passed swiftly, and before we hardly became aware of it, the time had come for us to enroll (in the fall of 1948) in the longed-for readm of high school. By now there were only twenty-two pupils. Many of the original classmates had left us, and several new pupils from Williamsville and Burnsville had entered our class. Mr. Norman Demick was our home room teacher that year in the eighth grade. September 7, 1949, marked our arrival as Freshmen. We were adjusted to class schedules by our eighth grade experience, and were soon in the swing of real high school life. Mr. George F. Bagby was Principal this year, and Mr. Edwin E. Will was Superintendent of Schools. Our class officers for this year were: President, Caroline Deeds; Vice President, Peggy Conner; Se¬ cretary, Tommy Hinebough; and Treasurer, Frankie Wood. On September 6, 1950, we entered Miss Parks ' room as sophisticated Sophomores. Class officers this year were: President, Georga Lee McCray; Vice President, Maxine Law; Secretary, Martha Jane Jol¬ ly; and Treasurer, Donald Porter. We were one step nearer the goal when, on September 6, 1951, fourteen of us became at last upper classmen, as Juniors. Officers this year were: President, Frankie Wood; Vice President, Edgar Brown; Secretary, Maxine Law; and Treasurer, Wilton Brinkley. Mr. Grant Rush succeeded Mr. Bagby the year we were Juniors, and remained Principal to see us through our remaining year. September 4, 1952, was a memorable day for us. We had reached our desired goal at last. We were the dignified Seniors. There were only thirteen of us, and many things confronted us for completion. Lucille Rhea had entered our class for our last year, and Mr. Skinner was our home room teacher. Our officers for this year are: President, Peggy Doyle; Vice President, Dorothy Roberts; Secretary, Betty Watts; and Treasurer, Lucille Rhea. Now that we ' ve completed our twelve years of school, we graduate with the hope and determination of finding a bright and successful future. [AST Will AND lIShMIKl the Senior Class of Millboro High, in the year 1953, being of sound mind and body, do hereby will and beqnea the following: To our teachers and parents we wish to express our thanks for helping us reach the point in our lives where we now are.
