 IcAxM 'IfeosiA, The large buildings of Petersburg High School were something new for the 56 Freshmen who arrived there in the year 1946. The gym, cafeteria, admin- istration and Vo-Ag buildings soon became familiar names. All the freshmen could not be named in the space on this page but they were known to be a happy group. During that year the class struggled through init- iation and the writing of their autobiographies. They were off on their four year journey through high school. When 1947 rolled around, the class had been reduced to 45. They were now young, gay sophomores. That year they were introduced to leaf and flower collecting in Biology by Mr. Sites. The campus trees were minus many a leaf after their active field trips. Time passed quickly as they trudged on their way to make the grade as jolly Juniors in the year 1948, but now their number was 39. That year they presented the comedy play ‘Here Comes Charlie with ten characters; directed by Mrs. Harry Matheny and Mr. Walter Owens, the class sponsors. The class honored their superiors, the Seniors, with a banquet and prom. The theme was Moonlight and Roses. The prom brought much toil, but the class decided it was worth it. I Six members of the class received the honor of becoming members of the National Honor Society. The year was not all play because American History took a great deal of their time. Some sought to escape a year of English by enrolling in Journalism, but found they had to work just the same. When the Senior year, 1949-50, finally arrived, the number of the class had diminished to 36. Now they were known as the grand old Seniors. In this year many of the members had taken the ‘‘big step into marriage. This year they presented the play, “Oh, Promise Me , with twelve characters, with the aid of their sponsors, Miss Barbara Babb and Mr. Walt Owens. The course of sociology dominated their subjects simply because they found it interesting. Now they had eyes for nothing except their goal—graduation. The honor of valedictorian went to Margaret Secrist and salutatorian to Bonnie Yokum. Their happy trip together suddenly came to an end with the presentation of the diplomas. A bigger journey loomed before them—the journey of life. The 1950 Petro-Schola Seven
