CLASS HISTORY September 8, 1944, was a very impressive and important day for our class. At last we were in high school. We were joined by Martha Faye Richardson, Shirley Moon, Ronald Winebarger, and Robert Krenning, who made a group total of 29. We were really hard to manage, and were usually honored by the presence of Mr. Gardner in the last period study hall. Our teacher this year was Miss Frances Cardwell. Class officers were: Jim Board, President; Dixie Denton, Vice-President; Doris Dodson, Secretary; and Theolise Maxey, Treasurer. That year rolled by very quickly. We soon found that we were sophomores, and one step nearer the goal! We were very glad to have Miss Cardwell as our sponsor again this year. We weren't quite as unruly now as we realized we were beginning to grow up. We chose the following officers this year: Calvin Bailey, President; Dixie Denton, Vice-Pres- ident; Theolise Maxey, Secretary; Arlene Daniel, Treasurer; and Doris Dodson, Reporter. Much to our sorrow, we lost seven of our classmates. We gained two new ones - John Hodges and Bill Tweedy, who were unable to finish out the term. This glorious year was climaxed by a picnic at Timber Lake the last day of school. Then we were Juniors! We lost quite a few of our members this year. Theolise Maxey went to summer school and was a senior this year. Ruth Bagby got married. Several others stopped. We were glad to have a certain member back with us who decided not to get married. This was a busy year for all of us. The outstanding social event was the Junior-Senior entertainment which was held at school. Class officers were: Charlie Mitchell, President; Dixie Denton, Vice-President; Doris Dodson, Secretary, and Irene Brown, Treasurer. It wasn’t long before this happy year was over. We were greatly honored at being able to hold the Daisy Chain for the dignified Seniors. At last the zenith of our high school career was reached! We were Seniors! With this position came the ordeal of trying to act dignified which was very hard for us to do. Eva Harris was elected to fill the presidential chair; Charlie Mitchell was Vice-President: Arlene Daniel, Secretary; Irene Brown, Treasurer; and Dixie Denton, Reporter. This year, above all others, was full of important events. Each month a party was given at the home ofamember ofthe class. Our May Day celebration was held at the school. We were proud for our own Irene Brown to be Queen of this event. Our play entitled ‘‘Yours Truly Willie’’ was a gratifying success. Last, but certainly not least, came Commencement Day! With this, our fond associ- ation with Rustburg High School ended, and we were students of the world. But in our hearts the memories of those days will ever remain and be renewed from time to time as we meet later in other walks of life. Wherever we go or whatever we do, we shall always remember the happy times we had in that ‘good old clas of ‘48’. PEARL CALDWELL, Class Historian DAES ry var Wicene rei’ ar Ai Bat = Wi rns Pern ee N
