ELECTRON genial: 61644 157 Four years ago we started our educational career, which apparently seemed long and dif- ficult, then, but since making the journey we found many pleasant and profitable hours with a valuable goal at the end. During our first year of study, we chose George Callis to direct our activities and he was ably assisted by the fol- lowing officers: Barbara Dardenne, president: Susie Stone, vice-president: Lola Mae McClure, xi! ' fa ve. , is G, if Nfl? secretary-treasurer. Our interests in the activities of the school were varied, but our outstanding achievement was our class play, A Scream in the Dark. As sophomores we had entered the second year of our career with new hopes and new aims. To guide us through this year, we chose Miss Stairrett and Mr. Barnes with the following helpers: Bob Lowther, president: Jim Wooten, vice-president: Lola Mae McClure, secretary: Virginia Byrd, treasurer. Many were the activi- ties in music and sports in which we participated quite successfully. Cyclone Sally, our class play, was one of the outstanding dramatic events of the year. The third year of our career opened with greater requirements and more duties challenging us: scholarships, music, sports, our junior-senior banquet, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and our class play, Mama's Baby Boy, We were more capable of accomplishing the tasks before us as we had become more skilled in knowledge, and with the assistance of our guides, Miss Stair- rett and Mr. Rankin, who were ably assisted by the following officers: Barbara Dardenne, president: Jim Wooten, vice-presidentg Irene Oliver, secretary-treasurer. Our fourth year was the crowning point of our high school career which we hope will lead us to even a better and bigger career in our future life. Miss Stairrett and Mr. Rankin still served as guides with the ever helpful co-workers: Bob Blake, president: Ellen Haner, vice-president: Irene Oliver, secretary: Bill Christy, treasurer. Irene Oliver was given three honors, coal queen, football queen, and cheer leader for the school. Virginia Byrd and Bob Lowther were selected as king and queen of the Electron. The class play, Three Days of,Gracie, was our final dramatic production. As a fitting climax, we received our diplomas on May 16, 1940. and were ready to take the next step in our careers.
