Class History On September 7, 1948, we gathered in room 5 to prepare for our trip on the R. H. S. of '52. Mr. V. C. Fankhouser was our instructor. That year we chose j. B. I-laught for our President, Clara Mae Mason, Vice-President, and Louise Griffith our Secretary-Treasurer. We selected the white rose as our class flower, black and white as our colors, and our motto was We pull the most, when we pull together. We had a wiener roast the first of October and our assembly program the first of April. When we first started our training, we were 30 in number. During the year we gained one, namely, Norman Briggs. That year we lost joy Tennant, Faye Haught, Betty Lou Bassett, Candy Roberts, Mona Gay Arnett, Bonnie Spraggs, Carl 'Daugherty, and Grady Norris, On September 6, we returned to school. Charles jackson did not return. During the year, we lost Betty Sovil, Clifford Fisher, and Roma Long. Our officers were: Louise Griffith-President, Clara Mae Mason-Vice-President, and j. B. Haught Sec- retary-Treasurer. Our motto remained the same, but our colors were blue and gold and our flower, the white lily. We had our class party October 13, and gave our assembly program March 24. This year the girls of our class served at the annual junior-Senior Banquet. The year ended with a class of 18. In the year 1950 on September 5, we returned for the third year of our instruct- ion on our rapidly approaching trip we will take into the world. 'lhis year we shared our home room with the Senior Class. Roma Long was back with us, but quit later in the year. We also lost Gerald McAllister and Sam Brown to the U. S. Air Force. J. B. Haught was chosen President, Wilda Wildman Secretary, and Clara Mae Mason was re-elected Vice-President. We changed our motto to Hammer it out , our colors to red and white, and the class flower to the white peony. We gave the ann- ual junior class play A Ready.Made Family , April 5, 1951. The junior-Senior party was held September 29. The banquet we gave for the graduating class was a big event in our history. On the last day of school, we and the Seniors went to Coopers Rock State Park near Morgantown. Finally, on Tuesday, September 4, 1951, fifteen of us gathered in the typing room to complete our final year of preparation. As we looked about, we noticed a new face, Violet Fankhouser, and that we had lost Stanley Miller, Charles McHenry, and Shirley Ice to the Junior Class, Shirley returned to us the second semester. We chose the peony to be our flower, retained our colors from last year, and selected Flying High , as our motto. This year was filled with many activities. On September 29, we had our party which everyone enjoyed. Our play Mother-in-Law Blues , was given on November 16. As is the custom of the Senior Class, we gave the annual Christmas program for the school. The banquet which was given by the junior Class for us in May was much enjoyed and deeply appreciated by all of us. Then, Sunday May 18, the Baccalaureate Sermon was preached. Finally, the day arrived! On May 20, we received our diplomas which stated, that we were ready for the final take-off. So, with Clara Mae Mason as class Pres- ident, Reva Haught Vice-President, and Wilda Wildman as Secretary-Treasurer, sixteen of us boarded our plane. With our hearts filled with anxiety and happiness, and yet with a bit of longing for the friends and under-grads left behind, we began our trip, Flying High , to meet the world and what it holds in store for us. 10
