But soon we got eve rything rolling by electing as officers Donnie Spangler, president, Horace McDaniel vice-president, Brenda Dod, secretary, Iris Cash, treasurer, Diana Snow, reporter. Yes, the class of '58 had arrived and were guided by our homeroom teachers, Mrs. Reveley, Mrs. Hodges, and Mr. Perkins. Before we knew it, we were freshman! We were a little more wordly wise and brave than ayear before. Our freshman class officers were Donnie Spangler, president, Carl Tolley, vice- president, Jimmy Carter, treasurer, and Robert McAlphin, reporter. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Jeanne Bourne and Mr. William Veague as our class sponsors. The fall of '55 found the door opening to a group of Sophs who really belonged to NBHS. Leading the class this year were Carl Tolley, president, Horace McDaniel, vice-president, Rosa Lee Watts, secretary, and Diana Snow, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Powers, Miss Camp- bell, and Mrs. Burks. Now we were passing on to that year in which we were very frequently referred to as Jolly- Juniors. And we were ever jolly! Our talents really began to come into the limelight now as witnessed in dramatics, where the whole class aided in the production of the Junior Play, One Horrible Night , a smash hit, This was the year, also, when we worked so hard for the most successfulfin our opinion, Junior-Senior Prom in the history of the school. Always there guiding us were our untiring homeroom teachers, Miss Campbell, and Miss Cobean. Our class officers for this year were Horace McDaniel, president, Clifford Hill, vice-president, Diana Snow, secre- tary, and Susie McClure, treasurer. The Senior year found us greatly dimini she d in number, from 99 to 50 students, but the quality ofour abilities reached new highs under the guidance of Mrs. Burks, our senior sponsor. We were on that coveted, and long-awaited plateau of our high school years. From the aspiring, young 1awyers in Mr. Leslie's government classes to the expert research theme writers in Mrs. Burks' English classes, we were now truly the leaders of NBHS. Every club and organi- zation felt the strong and capable hands of the seniors guiding all activities. Elected to the important positions of senior class officers were Mary C. Jarvis, president, Horace McDaniel, vice-president, Margaret Parolari, secretary, Lucretia Rose, treasurer, and Willard Branch, reporter. As this history is being written, we still have many exciting things to look forward to, such as the senior trip to Washington, the Junior-Senior Prom, and, of course, that long-awaited day- GRADUATION. So with the s e sad yet happy thoughts, the Class of '56 will go out into the world, and know that whatever is ahead of us we'll always remember those wonderful high school years at Natural Bridge High School. l6 Senior.,
