WITH THE KIND ASSISTANCE OF MRS. MINNICK, THE CLASS ELECTS 1TS- OFFICERS, COLORS AND) MoTTO. JOYCE BELL IS CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF THIS NOISY GANG OF FRESHMEN. BLUE AND WHITE ARE THE SELECTED COLORS, AND MoTTO ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL 1S QUICKLY SUGGESTED AND APPROVED. SOME OF THE MORE BOISTEROUS FRESHMEN SUGGEST THE STINKWEED AS CLASS FLOWER, BUT THE BEAUTI-= FUL RED ROSE WINS THE DECISION. THE SCENE BEFORE ME BECOMES HAZY (THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE CHALK AND ERASER BATTLESI) AND THE FRESHMEN DAYS SLOWLY FADE FROM VIEW. THE CURTAIN OPENS ON ACT 2 REVEALING THE 29 HAPPY=GO=LUCKY SOPHOMORES STRUGGLING THROUGH ALGEBRA. JEAN BELL |S PRESIDENT THIS YEAR AND MRS. MAYBERRY |S THE HOME-ROOM TEACHER. AMONG THE MOST OUTSTANDING EVENTS OF THE YEAR ARE THE TRIPS TO WASHINGTON AND CHARLOTTESVILLE, AND A BEAUTIFUL MAY DAY PROGRAM. COMPLETING THE STUDY OF SHAKESPEARE'S JULIUS CAESAR , SOPHO= MORE DAYS SLOWLY DIM AWAY, LEAVING ONLY 2@ MORE MEMORABLE ACTS IN THE DRAMA. AS THE CURTAIN AGAIN RISES, WE GET A GLIMPSE OF JUNIOR LIFE, A YEAR WHICH WE'LL NEVER FORGET. GARNET MANLEY 1S CLASS PRESIDENT THIS YEAR, AND OUR HOME=ROOM TEACHER, MRS. MAYBERRY 1S LUCKY! SHE WAS PROMOTED AND SO ACCOMPANIES US IN OUR JUNIOR YEAR. QUTSTANDING HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR ARE THE FARM SHOW, THE FOOTBALL GAME AT CHARLOTTESVILLE, THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON, AND THE JUNIOR=SENIOR BANQUET AND PROM. THE HILARIOUS JUNIOR PLAY CLEANED AND PRESSED MEETS WITH GREAT SUCCESS! THE YEAR REACHES ITS CLIMAX WHEN WE, THE JUNIORS, DRESSED IN WHITE, HOLD THE DAISY CHAIN FOR THE GRADUATING CLASS.

Betty Lou Tweedy JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When school opened September 8, 1947, there was a noisy group of boys and girls in the freshman room. They soon got the name of the worst behaved class in school, We elected FranklinColeman presidentand our home room teacher was Mrs. Minnick. Some of the years events were a school newspaper, a May-Day Program, and the Farm Show. The final event ofthat year was the coming of June when we all got out ofschoolfor the summer. As the case of all good things this came to an end when September rolled around again and we started back to school as sophomores. Arvin Moorefield was elected president and our homeroom teacher was Mrs. Martin. During the course of the slow moving year the F. F. A. boys held a Father and Son banquet and the F. H. A. girls a formal dance. The sopho- mores gottheir first chance togo to Washington, We managed throughthe year and when June came our way again we hada wonderful vacation, but that ended with the coming of September again.So back to school we came as juniors. Sonny Gear was chosen president this term and Mrs, Mayberry was our homeroom teacher. During the year we had our favorite square dances, a trip to Washington and we ended upthe year withthe Junior-Senior Prom. All of this would never have come about if it hadn’t been for our homeroom teacher Mrs. Mayberry and so we wish to say that we hope she will be with us through our coming senior year.
