We drifted along happily through grammar school. One of the things we re- member was a minstrel we had in the sixth grade. We now are in the seventh grade. This year will stand out in our minds be- cause we were beginning to be treated as older boys and girls. At last we find ourselves in the ninth grade and high school. This was a big year because it was now that we would start working for a diploma. In the tenth grade our class began to get smaller. We now had twenty-one boys and girls in the class. The eleventh grade was a big year. We were looking forward to our trip to New York, the Junior-Senior Banquet and our play, ‘'Stranger in the Night. All of us worked hard on our many projects and on June 2, 1957, twenty-three juniors and seniors boarded a bus for New York. Now we find that we are Seniors. Fifteen of us are waiting patiently for May twenty-six when we shall receive our diplomas. We shall never forget dear old RHS and all of the teachers who have helped us through twelve years of school. Only four class members have completed twelve years of school at Ridgeway School together. They are Maenell Johnson, Annette1 McGuirt, Polly Reynolds and Boyd Moseley. Class historian, Boyd Moseley Polly Reynolds Annette McGuirt Maenell Johnson Class Will I, Bobby Lail, will my good nature to Ray Perry. 1, Maenell Johnson, will my ability to read my shorthand lessons out of the back of my book to anyone silly enough to take shorthand. I, Margie Smith, will my princess ring to Barbara White. I, Bobby Wilson, don't will anything. I'm just glad that I got out. I, Lanelle Peake, will my ability to study to Sandra Miles. I, Jerry Branham, will my basketball ability to David Gerald. I, Agnes Humphries, leave whatever I have, if I have anything, to whoever needs whatever I have and can do anything with whatever this thing is. I, Gladys Branham, leave my salesmanship ability to Heyward Mattox. I, Aaron Hollis, will my ability to do bookkeeping to Larry Smith. I, Carole Peake, will my ability to write love-letters to Rhetta Jean Finley. I, Anna Moore, wish 1 had something to leave, but circumstances as they are, I need all that I have and more too. I, Annette McGuirt, do will my inherited nickname, Red, to Grace Perry. I, Polly Reynolds, leave my typewriter to Carolyn Branham. I, Jeanette Mattox, leave my tall, slender figure to Vera Humphries. Last, but not least, I, Boyd Moseley, just plain leave. Attorney: Gladys Branham Witnessed by: Jerry Branham Carole Peake Class Prophecy As I sit in my 20 room mansion today, wondering what to wear on my TV Quiz show tonight, my mind wanders back to the dear old graduates of 1958.
