Class Another twelve year s has gone by like lightning, with us hardly realizing it. In 1945 a group of 29 girls, and 22 boys, 51 in all, entered the first grade with Miss Haynes as their teacher. Our fir st seven year 8 were sometimes difficult, but with the assistance of our teachers, principals, and all of us work- ing together we have been successful thus far. Our teachers those first seven years of grade school were: Miss Haynes, Miss Harouff, Mrs. Wamsley, Mrs. Brady, Miss Whiteside, Miss Roundy, Mrs, McLaughlin, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. William Cauley, Mrs. Deeds, Mrs. McCray and Miss Turner. In the seventh grade, some extra pupils were added from Burns- ville and Williamsville, these being Dale Purvis, Janine Sevigney, and Johnnie Leach. When we entered the eighth grade on September 4, 1952, with 35 on roll, we were very anxious to start in to changing classes. This year we had Grant Rush as our principal who came to our school in 1951. Our teachers were: Jewell Rush, homeroom and commercial; Mary Cauley, homeroom and Mathematics; M. P. Skinner, English; John Root, Sci- ence; LairdRush, Social Studies and Coach; and Helen Brink- ley, Home Economics. On September 2, 1953, 34 of us entered our freshman year. This was quite a year for all of us. We had a new homeroom teacher, Paul Schoonover, who also taught Sci- ence and Mathematics. We also acquired a new principal, Mr. Fred Knobloch who replaced Mr. Rush. Other teachers were: Mary Cauley, Mathematics; Vida Fairchild, Com- mercial;.M. P. Skinner, English; Laird Rush, Social Studies and Coach; and Mary B. Mullis, Home Economics, Our class officers were: President, Kay Loan; Vice President, Nancy Arbogast; Secretary, Hazel Neff; Treasurer, Janine Sevig- ney. During this year Janine left us to go to Florida. When September 1, 1954, rolled around, 25 Sophomores entered into Mr. Schoonover ' s homeroom again, to begin another year of work and fun, to climb still another step higher. Alfred Cleveland replaced Laird Rush as our new Social Studies teacher and Coach. Our other teachers were: M. P. Skinner, English; Mary B. Mullis, Home Economics; Mary Cauley, Mathematics and Civics; Vida Fairchild, Com- mercial; and Paul Schoonover, Science and Mathematics.

Ten boys and ten girls who will walk down that aisle in June to graduate hoping our future will be as bright as those glorious times we have left behind us.
