During the dull months of February and March, the Juniors decided to make good use of the time and raise some money toward their Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. They did this by giving away a Dormeyer Electric Mixer with several attachments in turn for donations for the benefit of the class. On May 12, after six weeks of worry and hard work, great pride was taken in entertaining the Senior Class, faculty, and administration at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, which was held in the school cafeteria. The theme of the evening was “Wishing”, and decorations and music corresponded with the theme. Mr. John McNeill, of Moorefield, served as Master of Ceremonies and a very entertaining program was climaxed with the coronation of the King and Queen of the Prom. We were very glad to have Mr. McNeill back, even if only for an evening. The class officers for the year 1949-1950 were: President, Mary C. Hyre; Vice President, Thomas Goldizen; Secretary, Dolly Kimble; Treasurer, Ted Whitacre. The 1C50 Petro-Schola Thirteen

The Junior Class, under the sponsorship of Miss Rita Hammer and Mr. William Hickman, had a very busy and colorful year keeping each member active and alert. To begin the activities of the year, during American Education Week, the class presented to the student body, faculty and guests, a special assembly. The program consisted of a very inspir- ing play entitled “A Mighty Mysterious Tree”, stressing the importance of liberty and citizen- ship. On November 15, Miss Hammer took over the duties of Mr. Hickman in preparing a pre- sentation of a Junior Class Play. They selected for their play a three-act comedy, ‘‘The Boarding House Reach”, by Donald Payton. With a cast of sixteen, headed by Jimmy Bush and Hampton Riggleman, the play was presented on December 15, in the Petersburg Grade School auditorium and proved to be a “howling success.” . „ t .r Twelve The 1950 Petro-Schola

A measure of revenge was gained during the early weeks of school as they initiated the Freshmen class. Initiation week ended for the Freshmen with a party in the gym the night before the Moorefield football game. The annual class program was given in the fall. It was a historical musicale of our nation’s progress. Fourteen The 1950 Petro-Schola
