Class History Come!! Let us reminisce through the past four years and bring you up to date on some of the most outstanding events of the Class of 1958, In September of 1954 there enter into the Land of Learning sixty-three seekers of know¬ ledge, better known as Freshmen, Most of them come from the Eighth Grade, where they have for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; some green and fresh from afar; and some from other halls of instruction. We are welcomed by our Principal, Mr, Chadderdon and our homeroom teachers, Mr, Stewart Wessells and Mrs. Mary Wood, who will help lead us up the slippery by-ways of knowledge. We elect our first class offi¬ cers: President, Buddy Wood; Vice-President, Billy Mears; Secretary, Russell Justis; and Treasurer, Connie Phillips. The next fall we enter the halls of wisdom with more dignity and sophistication as Sopho¬ mores, We are sorry to lose Billy Joe Colonna, Everette Evans, Wade Shrieves, Bobby Zashin, and Billy Beauchamp. Mrs. Marie Pennewell and Mrs. Lotta Booth are our homeroom teachers. This year we have many money-making projects such as bakes and selling Christmas cards. The outstanding social event of the year is a Leap Year Dance, which is well attended. We elect officers and they are: President, Richard East; Vice-President, Pat Gladding; Secretary, Jackie Miles; and Treasurer, Peggy Smith. For the first time many of us attend the Athletic Ball, an enjoyable occasion always to linger in the memory of any high school boy or girl. As the year draws to a close, we look forward to our Junior Year with eager anticipation. Lo! Summer has passed and once again we rub elbows with fellow classmates, this time as Juniors! A glance at the calendar of the year finds us frustrated and confused - Junior Play, Class Rings, and best of all, the Prom! We elect the following class officers: President, Jackie Miles; Vice-President, Herbert Duer; Secretary, E, B. Dean; and Treasurer, Peggy Smith. Meanwhile there dwelt in our midst, Mr. Earl Hoppes, a man of much learning and good repute, who, learning of the departure of Mr. Chadderdon, decided to take over the task of leadership and the success for our school loomed ahead. This yecir our homeroom teachers are Mrs. Marie Pennewell and Mrs. Nancy Senn, After Christmas, we present our first big performance - “The Sweetheart of U Baka Pi’’, which is a huge success. Well, our session is drawing near a close and it’s Prom time! Followed by days and nights of hard work, we find thousands of tulips and various colors bursting forth in full bloom around a Dutch windmill - our theme for the Prom. As we danced to the sweet, languid music of Mrs. Georgia Borum’s Orchestra, we felt sure that this Prom will be placed among our souvenirs as one of the best ever given at O.H.S. Here “Don Cupid’’ captures the heart and hand of some of our girls. From class rings to wedding rings, Gussie Chandler, Dorothy Johnson, Grace Parks, Frances Williams, Jean Duer, Sylvi Scott, Barbara Williams, and Mary Rose Harmon marched down the aisle of Holy Matrimony. We were sorry to lose Dickie Turner, Jerry Hartman, and Russell Justis to Hargrave Military Academy. At the close of our Junior Year, we would like to sum up our richness and achievement in the following phrase: We have spent the months in study. And in thinking hard and deep. So now, all worn and weary. We find our Junior Year complete. Tempus fugit!! Seniors!! Time flies and we are dignified Seniors at last!! Again, Mrs. Marie Pennewell finds herself playing the role of homeroom teacher. As we turn towards gradu¬ ation, our roll has diminished from sixty-three to thirty-five. Some stopped because of poor health, some went out to earn a living, others married, and E. B. Dean decided to further his education at Randolph Macon Academy. We welcomed two new members, Billy Shrieves and Carolyn Watkinson. We elected the following officers: President, Pat Gladding; Vice-President, Herbert Duer; Secretary, Mary Chandler; and Treasurer, Peggy Smith. During our high school career many members of this class have taken an active part in athletics. Eleven boys are on the varsity foot¬ ball team, four outstanding players on the girls’ basketball team, and four Cheerleaders. Our first big event of the year is the Senior Play, “A-Feudin’ Over Yonder’’, a hillbilly comedy filled with laughter. After mid-term exams, we begin making plans for graduation, completion of the annual, and getting more literature on our prospective dream trip. New York. Now the “Zero Hour’’ has arrived, may we go on experiencing greater adventures, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is just now and here at its triumphant Commencement!! For the last year satisfying. Must all shadows safely blow; Senior life is purifying, And we pass - as white as snow! Marye Earle Carmine Historian
