C aaa .Mafory In the autumn of 1946 the largest class in Quantico Post High School was banded together as group strong in spirit and in purpose. Yes, there were a lot of Freshmen starting out toward the greatest goal-graduation, always uppermost in the minds of these students. Miss Rita Clark was the class advisor who was destined to give ever-helping guidance through the high school years of the Class of 1950. Many strange and unaccustomed barriers were met and overcome in this first year. As Sophomores, the class continued with a large enrollment, gaining more and more knowledge. The members began to shine not only in their classes but were also showing promise of leadership and ability in extra-curri- cular activities. It was not easy. and the class worked long and hard to bring another successful year to a close. Half the journey was over! Yes, the Juniors of 1949 were beginning to realize that their goal would be reached only too quickly. Difficulties increased, however, and the members of the class were really putting forth their best efforts to maintain the high standards they had kept in previous years. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Junior Carnival, organized and staged entirely through the efforts of class members. It was surpassed only by one of the most beautiful and enjoyable Senior Proms ever held for the school. The last year at Post High for the Class of 1950 was a most eventful one. Many of the members who accompanied the class through three years of high school had departed, but there were new faces galore to make the class the largest to graduate in the history of the school. Leadership and ability came to the front when many Seniors were chosen for officers of importance in school life. Only a little further to graduation, yet the path was full of obstacles, and only the courage of students pledged to do their best carried them through months of hard study and work. Throughout it all, the Seniors looked for graduation with mixed feelings. but uppermost was a sense of pride and ac- complishment. The work and study will not be forgotten, but the Class of 1950 will remember longest the activities and events in school life that made the journey toward graduation a memory to be cherished forever.
