Capitol Square, we visited the State Museum which contains exhibits of Virginia ' s fauna, flora, minerals and many relics. For lunch we ate cafateria style at the Hot Shop. This was a most delightful day, filled with many pleasant surprises. This year on the last day of school, we received our diplomas and were graduated into High School. In the eighth grade, Mrs. Jacqueline Perry was our Home Room teacher. This was our first year of high school. We went on a class trip to Moores Lake this year. Jimmy Pearman was our class president. We were represented in the Homecoming Court by Betty Walls and in the May Court by Judith Rumsey. Mr. George Waldrop put up with us in the Ninth Grade Home Room. Algebra and Latin were added to our studies. We increased our funds by having a party after a football game. John Hodge was class president. Wanda Dzula represented us in the May Court. In the tenth grade Miss Clarence Garland was our Home Room teacher. We had been a big class but this year it decreased in number. Betty Walls was our class president and also represented us in the May Court. At last we became Juniors and we realized that graduation wasn’t far away. Mrs. Paul Richmond was our Home Room teacher. The high lights of the year were: our very successful play, Deadly Earnest with Mrs. Temple Pomfrey directing us; the Junior-Senior Prom whose theme was Cinderella Ball and the Banquet. Charles Simmons and Authur Lee Gathright joined us. This was the year we received our class rings. Wanda Dzula was our class president and she also repre¬ sented us in the May Court. Mrs. Oscar Mears is our Home Room teacher in our Senior year. David Ward joined us. There are nineteen of us including Joyce Mar¬ tin, who is a graduate student. We sponsored the Shack during football games. We had the Senior Play called House of Strangness with Mrs. Mears directing us. Jimmy Pearman is our class president. We are looking forward to our Class Trip to New York and graduation Day.
