SENIOR HISTORY The month is June; the year is nineteen hundred and sixty-five; and we, as Seniors, will soon bid farewell to these Hallowed Halls of Ivy . As we think of the precious little time we have left at Onancock High, we find ourselves surrounded by the golden memories it has provided us. In recall¬ ing some of these memories, let ' s return to our freshman year. As school opened in that September of 61 , we were awed by the activities opened to us and the responsibilities we faced; but with Mrs. Pennewell and Mrs. Evans, as our homeroom teachers, our high spirits could not be dampened. Tom Duncan was chosen President; Robby Custis, Vice- President; Buck Boggs, Secretary; and Kay Wescott, Treasurer. Many of our boys were chosen for the football team; and later played a big part in basketball, baseball, and track. The girls enjoyed cheering, basketball, softball, and F.H.A. Quite a few of this sports-minded class also attended their first glorious Athletic Ball. Summer vacation passed very quickly; Mrs. Kellam and Mr. Carey found themselves as home¬ room teachers of an all too energetic group of Silly Sophomores . Our officers were Kay Wescott, President; Mary C. Taylor, Vice-President; Trudy Davis, Secretary; and Gwenda Kellam, Treasurer. Jeannine Fonda and Martha Russell joined our class this year. Many more also found themselves in the ranks of athletes. The Beta Club and the Tri-Hi-Y opened their doors to us. We also undertook many projects, the most successful being the selling of cookies. Last but not least of a wonderful year was our unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C. Another summer faded into the past and we returned to O.H.S. looking forward to just the very idea of being Juniors. Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Kellam took over this lively group with apprehension. Our officers were Trudy Davis, President; Joy Milliner, Vice-President; Mary C. Taylor, Secretary; and Kitty James, Treasurer. This year we were joined by Kathy Williams. First on our calendar was ordering our long-a-waited Class Rings. Next we prepared for our play, The Womanless Wedding , which proved a big success. Many Beta members attended the annual convention held that year at Roanoke. Our profit-making projects of the past years, plus selling stationary this year, were very helpful as we presented our lovely prom, Isle of Enchantment , on May 22, 1964. A most memorable summer led us into our coveted year as Mighty Sophisticated Seniors with Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Kellan again at the helm. We elected officers as follows: Kathy Williams, President; Nancy Loflin, Vice-President; Martha Russell, Secretary; and Kitty James, Treasurer; after which we chose an annual staff to publish our yearbook, TRIDENT ’65. New members to our class were Kandi Hardison, Bill Atkeison, and Mike Lake. Next, Class Pins were ordered. Parts were picked for our play, So This is Bliss”. Christmas came and went and our hearts beat-fast as answers to our college applications began to return, then the biggest day of our lives; - graduation! Twelve years ago we walked unknowing into the world of knowledge and tonight we are about to take our first step down the unknown road we call the future. Historian Meg Steele 23
