CLASS HISTORY 1943- - -Twenty-eight little eager boys and girls started on the road of progress. With Miss Mock as our leader, slowly but surely, we learned to read, print, and count. To make our class more exciting, Betty Ja Watts and Nancy Spainhour brought their little kittens to school. They succeeded! Many of us didn't understand the ways of school at first. We sometimes got a spanking to remind us. 1944- - -After a nice long summer vacatlon,we began once again on the road of progress. This yea we gained two new workers. They were Gwyn Staley and Joe Joyner. We also gained a new leader. She was Mrs. S. G. Wallace. This year we learned how to add, subtract, write, and make words out of the A, B, C's we had learned. Slowly we Qained more knowledge. The road is becoming a little longer, and a little stronger. 1945- - -Our third year on the road of progress and again Mrs. S. G. Wallace was our leader. This year we ventured a little further into our numbers. We began to study English. We learned the relation of nouns and verbs with a sen- tence. We were happy to have Bobby Bowen, Garland Sullivan and Mary Lawson to ioin us. 1946- - -This our fourth year we gained Mark Eason, Maynard Doub, Cleo Griffith, Dean Shore, rand Dewey White. We were happy to have Miss Lucy B. Matthews as our new leader. Along with our list of subiects we added geography. We traveled to many parts of the world. We took time out between the trips to mix paints and paint a few pictures. 1947- - -We began our fifth year. We studied how Columbus discovered America by proving the world is round. This year Miss Snow was our leader. We were happy to have Avolene Edwards, Dorothy Edwards, Billy Wayne Marion, and Frederick Smitherman to become members of our class. Part of the fourth grade ioined us this yebr. We all enioyed a picnic at Bolling Springs. We also enioyed a Christmas party at Janie Long's home. 1948- - -This year we gained and lost some of our classmates. Clyde Aldridge, Adrain Ferguson, Bland Moore, Donald Winfrey, and Lynn Winfrey were our new classmates. Much to our sorrow Billy Wayne Marlon, Frederick Smith- erman, Dewey White, and Cleo Griffin left us. Miss Frances M. Rawley became our leader. We enioyed the many stories she read to us. We increased more fully our knowledge about what we had learned the years before. 1949- - -This year we were glad to have two leaders. Miss Anne Truitt and Mr. James C.Hunter. Miss Truitt was our homeroom teacher. Mr. Hunter taught us health and how to play volleyball. Mr. Hunter gained a better-half this year and the class presented to him a small wedding gift. We were happy to have Robert Poole, Harry Spainhour, and Jack Westmoreland to ioln us. We missed Ramona Long and Adrian Ferguson this year. 1950- - -We began our eighth year onthe road of progress. This year Mrs. G. T. Hylton prepared us for high school. We were happy to have five new classmates. They were Faye Bennett, Carell Jean Brown, Patricia Holler, Ann Hudspeth, and Mary Jane Wilmouth. We were very sorry to lose Harry Spainhour and Jack Westmoreland to Rural Hall School. 1951- - -At last we were in high school. Here we discovered the many changes we had heard about. Classes an hour long, more teachers to obey, and, best of all, fewer subiects. Our class was divided---Mr. Selle had the boys and Mrs. Whicker the girls. We were very glad to be in high school for now we could strive for a place an the basketball or baseball teams. We were greenhorns about changing classes but we caught on speedily. This year our class added Bill Coe to the membership. 1952- - -We entered the tenth year on the road of progress, but wait! We have just received word that Old Rich- mond High School is closed. Some of us went to other schools while some of the students stayed at home. Finally on December 31, 1952 the school situation was straightened out. We iourneyed back to Old Richmond High School once more. We received word from Gwyn Staley and Donald Winfrey that they were staying at Old Town this year. Mr. Early was our teacher and also the boys' coach. The girls had Mrs. Edna Walls as coach. During the year the F.F.A. boys and F.H.A. girls entertained their parents at a very enioyable banquet in the school lunch room. 1953- - -We became Juniors. Mrs. Byrne was now out leader and did a fine iob. But wait! Who was this coming? lt's none other than Donald Winfrey, who had decided he would reioin us. We were glad to have Wimp back with us. We worked very hard to make some money for the yearly event--Junior-Senior Banquet. Everybody was excited and wondered when our class rings would come. Avolene Edwards sold she was leaving us and going to Rural Hall. On May 14, 1954 we gave the Seniors a banquet at Stultz and Ogburn. We are very proud of Mrs. Byrne who gave us so much assistance. 1954- - -Up to this year we lived ln the past. Now we are living in the present, which will be the past in a few months. This year we reached the coveted Senior Room. As we crossed the threshold we pledged to Mrs. Holland our ioyal support and honest efforts to be full pledged Seniors. Kermit Doub is back with us to finish school after serving two years in the Army. His wife, Ann Doub, is back with us also. This year we have had many informal parties--celebrating birthdays in the home ec. room--wool-gatherings, etc. We shall especially remember the wiener roast at Mr. Mitchell's and the New Year's Party at Tweet Lawson's. This year we are busy getting The Chanti- cleer ready for the press--presenting our senior play--planning for our Vesper and Graduation exercises and most important of all--preparing for our future in the World of Experience. Now we are beginning to realize las the school days draw to a closel that the twelve years we have been In school have been very short. As a parting word, we wish to say, We are glad to be members of the 'Class of '55'. Historians: SHlRLEY PFAFF DONALD ALLEN
