If you had one, more than likely you would like to see once again all the activities in which you have participated for the past year. This yearbook is no flying carpet. It is better. Not only can you turn the pages and live over all your activi- ties again, but you have a permanent record of them for years to come. Page Two F Acuity cl min Li tra Lion Mr. Walter F.

Yes. we were the freshmen and verv, very proud of it. That vear we elected Mike Coates as president; Pauline McAllister as vice-president; and Audria Workman as secretary-treasurer. Our Student C ouncil representatives were Jim McKee, Fred Anderson, and Jim Skaggs. After prancing jauntily through our freshman year, we advanced a step and then we were sophomores. We had a wonderfully happy year, with Willard Hess as our presi- dent. John Ridenour as vice-president, and Dorothy Chap- man as secretary-treasurer. Our Student Council repre- sentatives were Barbara Ferrari, Jim McKee. 1 hen before we noticed where the time had all gone we were — JUNIORS! Ah! What a time we had that year, what with ordering our rings and looking forward to the prom. May 1 . we were a pretty busy group. To earn money for the prom we sponsored the movie “Freddie Goes to College , and sold stationery. Willard 1 less was our president again that year; Audria Workman was vice-president, and Norma Larabee was secretary-treasurer. Jim McKee. John Ridenour, and Mil- dred Baldwin were Student Council representatives. Some of the important things that happened that year were : Stanley Hudnall received honorable mention and was a sectional winner in nation wide editorial writing contests sponsored by the Quill and Scroll. Reba King was crowned Miss Wildcat” of ’47 at the Poca basketball game, and Willard 1 less was elected Student Council president for the coming year. Time again passed quickly and we were SENIORS. Some of us were glad, all very proud. Our officers this, our senior year, are John Ridenour, president; Jim McKee, vice-president; and Audria Work- man, secretary-treasurer. Our representatives in the Student Council are Bill Craddock, Mary Jo Hudnall, and Jim Skaggs. The first thing we did this year was to measure for our caps and gowns, and then we received our class rings. Graduation day is getting closer and we arc feeling sad that our school days are just about over. Prettv soon we will be walking down the aisle and our chests will swell with pride, and there may be tears in our eves, as we re- ceive the diplomas that we have worked so hard for. We, the Senior Class of 48, look back on our school years with pride, but we are a little sad that everyone we have gone to school with will not be there to graduate with us. Some of the boys have joined the service, some of our friends have moved away, and some have dropped out along the way, but their presence will Ik felt among us on graduation night. We hope that seniors of coming years will Ik able to l(X)k back on their school years with as much pride and jov as de do!

Ah! I sec, the clouds arc parting and what comes into view? 1 see Delphine Cook as a beautician after she finished training for it. She has her own shop on Pumpkin Knob.” Clinton Foster was in the all-state band in high school. Now he is in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Ruth Harmon marrier a six-footer and they arc raising two boys on law b x ks. They want one to become Presi- dent some day. Duward Angcll is a private detective. I Ic is looking into the case on the Missing Link” between man and ape. Genevieve Wandling became a Wave and Sammy is a sailor. Who could be happier than these two! Genevieve Walker is a model for some society depart- ment store in New York. Jane Tucker wanted to become a physical education teacher at Greenbrier Military School. She miscalculated a little. She’s married and raising boys of her own. Paul Tincher has his own trucking business and is etting along fine, having had experience working for is dad. Harold Null became a preacher and has a little church out on Tyler Mountain. Look at the congregation. See how interested they arc. There 1 sec a magazine. Well, well. Look who the editor is, Willajean Scott. Let’s see, the magazine is about what you should and should not do. Norma Jean Hanson has finally learned to roller skate. I sec her on the floor as champion roller skater of all times. William Crosier is a trapper. He seems to be catching everything, including women. A blonde is in the trap now. Edric Martin is a lion tamer. In addition to her lion taming she does a good job taming men. John Ridenour is a drum major in a large college. Says he likes it, but he likes the majorettes better. John Magoun went on a large expedition to Headless Valley. The last message from John was an SOS. I Ic hasn’t been heard from since. Patricia Woodell is a basketball star. Wee! did you see that beautiful shot she just made? Ruth Drake married Ward Gandce. Ruth likes little red headed girls but she likes little bald headed boys, too. Barbara Pitchford and Patricia Agee have grown tired of being quiet all these years so they have gone to college and are very good cheerleaders there. Junior Briscoe likes bow ties so well he has gone into a business of his own. Says he can wear them seven days a week now. Marie Hanna is still working at Newberry’s. Says she is doing fine now since they have a nice looking manager. Page Sixteen Jimmy Skaggs and his orchestra are playing in a night club in Hollywood; Mike Coates accompanies him, taking the place of Frank Sinatra. He can’t sing as well as Frankie but he can break as many hearts. June K. Boggess is a very good housewife. Even though it’s hard to get up to get her hubbv’s breakfast, she likes it. Norma Larabee has found the road to happiness at last. (Being Willard’s wife, of course.) James Fraser said he always wanted to see the White House. His wishes have at last come true. He is janitor there. Donald Thacker has become chemist at what used to be Ohio-Apex. Ohia-Apex doesn’t exist any more. Donald finished his great experiment. Fred Anderson is postmaster of the Nitro post office and people are complaining about his new modern system. Ruth Ann Fowler was going to be a nurse, but she married Fred instead. Fred had to have someone to take care of him. Donald King recently married. Says it isn’t right to be king and not have a queen. Carl Summers became an eye specialist, but now he is a heart specialist. Jo Ann O’Dell is an office worker at Cox’s Department Store. She has married three managers and now Cox’s are looking for another one. Dot Chapman helped Stanley edit the annual. She’s still helping him, though at home now and not in the office. Brooks Brubaker played so many junior parts in plays that he got disgusted and went to Hollywood to become a great lover, but he’s still plaving Randolph in “A Date With Judy ' Bcttv Leadman has started a chewing gum factory of her own. She wants to be sure she has enough! Glenna Jeffers has gone to Flatwoods to live. It isn’t that she likes Flatwoods, but she likes her reason for living there — Tommy Carder, her husband-. Robert I larmon is known as “The Falcon”. When he drives his car, people can’t decide whether it is an airplane flving low or Robert hitting the hig spots and skimming over the low. Justine Stickler is private secretary for Mr. Dice at Mon- santo. He is thinking about sending her to the Texas plant. Lloyd Phelps is taking the place of Senator Ford on “Can You Top This?” He got a medal for being champion Joke Teller of 1950. Rav Burdette had his old Ford in Holman’s Garage so often he had paid enough to buy the place. He decided it would be cheaper to buy them out and do his own work. Earl Guinn became a chemical engineer. Monsfuito decided he was too good for them so they sent him to Wales to work there. Betty Ann Hudnall wanted to raise four boys but bad luck was hers. She hasn’t found her dream man yet. Mary Jo Hudnall is an actress for the Children’s Theater. I believe her last play was “Disaster Strikes Only Once.” Jo was Disaster ana she struck the hero. Dennis Lyons is a football star at sonic university out west. He wanted to be a cowboy so he combines his work. Robert Lewis wasn’t satisfied with being an uncle to a set of twins, f 1c is papa to two sets. Marceline Jefferies was late so often for school that she decided to go into the alarm clock business. Everyone says she is quite successful. James Jefferies has a taxi company now on Manilla Creek. The Wall’s Taxi Company nas every other territory covered. Audria Workman became an actress. She is playing opposite Orville Westfall in What A Catastrophe”, or It Shouldn’t Happen To Pedro.” Martha Williams became an artist for Walt Disney. She helps him draw his Merry Melody comic books. Willard Hess is coaching a basketball team. He can’t decide which to coach, the boys or the girls. Masel Rutherford and Freed Cooke are co-owners of the Nitro Theatre. Olin Pryor has his own business of buying and selling ’42 Ply mouths. He has no trouble buying them but little luck in selling them. Rcba Martin and Rcba King have opened a Charm Shop in Sattes. They have charmed everything from snakes to men. Loretta Halley is the owner of Ladies Shop and sells everything from “foundations to chimney tops.” Mildred Baldwin and Bill arc married. Now she has little Bills and Mildreds hanging on her apron strings. Guess who is now managing a group of prize fighters? Vada Hill. Now a greater number of boys are going out for the sport. Rosalie Snyder, f ay Lloyd, and Ruth Ann Null have formed a “Lonely I learts Club.” Wonder who is on the other end of the wire. Dottie Collins is married. She is raising her family to be a basketball team. Basil Pauley joined the Army. He says if there is an- other war he wants to be in it. Virginia Turley became a representative for the “Lonely Hearts Club convention in Chicago. She is liking her work better than she thought she would. Betty Silman is a tobacco auctioneer. A tobacco raiser her her reading a poem in English so he decided she was well qualified. Betty Lou Hudnall is secretary for the President of the United States. She said she likes her job but it wasn’t like being with her old friends in high school. Cortillis Burford is a telephone operator. Someone said that she was going to be fired because she made too many long distance calls to her boyfriend. Russel and Pearl Farley are married. They have twins now. “Double Trouble.” Jim McKee has taken Red Skelton’s place on the radio. He is married to his vocalist. When Joyce Burchett graduated, she went to Toledo to be with her father and mother. She is a bookkeeper in some large firm. Alma Silman and Junior married and moved. No one seems to know much about them. Jo Ann Ice went to Hawaii for a vacation and never returned. She says she likes the sunshine there. Verjcan Jividen worked so long as a telephone operator she is now manager of the Person to Person Telephone Company. John Knight became a boiler tender on a steamboat on the Ohio River. You should see John with that brown skin. I suppose Max Gibson takes it from his father but wasn’t satisfied running his dad’s store. He had to have one of his own. Tohnny Goodall has taken Kennv Baker’s place on the radio. Everyone thought he would be the second Frankie. Byron Jones has traded his little red truck off for a station wagon to haul the little Joneses in. Donald Bowling has now taken Fred Scott’s place on the radio. Every day he sings “Take me back to Tyler Moun- tain.” Charlotte Hayes is now owner, dish washer, and pie baker at what used to be Clara’s Kitchen. James Buckalew is an insurance salesman. The com- pany president said he wished he had known James existed. He would have hired him long ago. Jo Ann Payne has been experimenting. She now has a pill called Paynless Pills”, but she cannot get anyone that will take it. Bill Craddock is a real estate broker. 1 le can find anyone an apartment or a house, everyone but his mother-in-law. She stays at Bill’s. Rex Mathenv is a butler for the President. He is a “boot black” on the sidelines. The city holds no charms for Dempsey Barnette. He has his own farm now, somewhere on Red f louse Ridge. Orville Westfall has gone into the business of trying to make a kind of medicine that makes people taller. So far, no luck. Norma Johnston has a job in New Jersey, milking cows. Now the clouds are closing. The view is changing. I sec nothing. All is gone until we gaze into the crystal ball again. Page Scvctitcen Charlotte Mayes Vada Hill G. A.

To cure or correct faulty vision is a very expensive process,—with doctors' fees, glasses and treatments. With proper lighting you have a good chance of never having trouble with your vision. Check your lighting—If it is inadequate, improve it!!!! It is less expensive to install good lighting now than to have faulty vision together with large medical expenses later. ★ APPALACHIAN ELECTRIC POWER CO.

Skaggs DENTIST J ! . . . . j . 1 Page Sixty-five How Nitro Gave Rayon a Permanent Wave Years of research ... the very rearrangement of rayon’s molecular structure... went into this picture. Much of this research was carried out in Nitro. At the top are some crimped rayon fibers. Next you see them after they have been wet and dried under tension. Finally you see what happens when they are re-wet and re-dried under no tension. At last, Amer- ican Viscose scientists have given man-made rayon the additional quality of a permanent wave when desired. Textile manufacturers and the engineers of Amer- ican Viscose—the nation’s largest producer of rayon —have already fitted crimped rayon to the needs of luxurious, inexpensive blankets. Blended, or used alone, it is going into warmer, lighter coats, robes and sweaters; crisper skirts and suits. Entirely new fabrics are on the horizon. Some say this is one of the greatest developments in rayon since rayon itself. And it happened right here in Nitro.
