The climb has been one that will | linger in our memories as a time of enlighten- | ment and enjoyment. As we look back over our five years of high school, we remember how excited we were as eighth graders and also how scared. Rushing to classes, not being sure where the room was, for- getting our locker combinations, and noticing that the older students moved slower, we experienced a new school life. Remembering our homerooms and teachers--Mr. F. M. Eversole, Room 212, Mr. Kelly Osborne, Room 208, and Mr. Lewis Taylor. Room 100--we thank them for getting 103j of us through the first year. During our second year we were glad to helpl our underclassmen because even though we werej freshmen we still remembered our predicament) the previous year. Now we were in only two: homerooms- -Mr. James A. Fishel, Room 214,, and Mr. George Farris, Room 210. We were used to election of homeroom chairman and class offi- cers. Remembering where the rooms were anc remembering that we could get to class on time by remaining calm, allowing fewer fumbles, helped make us more experienced. Those of us who were qualified and interested contributed oui abilities to sports. We met the qualifications o some clubs, and we were happy to become a par) of the extra-curricular activities. Connie Cleai qualified for the State Band which made us all very proud. In Rooms 206 and 210, under Mr. James A Fishel and Mr. George Farris’s guidance, we be- gan the Tenth Grade. Three of our students. Gab Maiden, Carol Brown, and Beverley Clear, ex| celled in science achievement and presentedpro jects at the Western Virginia Science Fair; Con nie Clear became a member of the State Band a gain; and Irvin Griffitts was secretary-treasure of the SCA.
