CLASS HISTORY For six long years we waited to begin school and finally, in 1939, we boarded the school buses and were on our way. Miss Mary Burgin, Mrs. Beulah Nichols and Miss Della Williams were our supervisors as we started the long climb upward. In the second grade, our teachers were Mrs. Radford, Mrs. Hemphill, and Mrs. Shuford. In our third year, we had Mrs. Hicks, Miss Nodine, and Mrs. Klutz. This year was especially hard because we learned our multiplication tables. We were supervised in the fourth grade by Miss Marley and Mrs. Klutz. In the fifth grade, Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Wesson were our teachers. This year was a sad one due to the death of our principal, Mr. Norwood. He was replaced by Mr. Swofford. We were supervised in the sixth grade by Mrs. Hensley and Miss Calhoun. We enjoyed our seventh year because we got to play softball. Mrs. Lonon and Mrs. Kanipe helped us organize our teams and we played in the Softball Tournament. There was a contest on Democracy. Almost everyone participated. Mrs. Knupp, Miss Laton, and Mr. Jervis were our teachers in the eighth grade. We were eagerly looking forward to our first year in high school. And then we started our freshman year. We had Miss Searcy for the girls' home- room teacher and Mrs. Barton for the boys. In the tenth grade, Mr. Ledbetter supervised the girls and Mr. Roberts the boys. This year was difficult because we had to take Algebra. The boys and girls were together again in the eleventh, under Mrs. Painter's super- vision. Near the latter part of the year, we gave the Junior play, Stroke of Twelve, which was a great success. We entertained the Seniors at a banquet and everyone had a good time and plenty to eat. The juniors who took part in the graduation exercises as Marshals were: Chief, Ralph Brown, Arnold McEntire, Betty Sue Gilliam, Violet Morris and Dorothy McPeters. At last the year we have looked forward to has come. We are now the dignified Seniors of 1951-52, with Mr. Woodward to guide us in our last year. Our class officers are: President Joe Lee Allison, Vice-President Ralph Brown, Sec- retary Violet Morris and Treasurer, Mildred White. We received our rings in October and were very proud of them. We are eagerly looking forward to receiving our diplomas although we feel that, as we pass through the door of the Old Fort High School, we are closing a very happy and successful chapter of our lives.
