CLASS HISTORY Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The noise grew louder as thirty-four excited ‘‘bees’’ swarmed into their ‘‘hive,’’ the Freshman Room at Rustburg High School, on September 4, 1950. It didn’t take us long to stop ‘‘buzzing,’’ however, after Mr. William Thomas, our home room teacher, appeared and gave us our first instructions in high school discipline. We elected Estelle Leonard our class president. For our motto, we selected ‘Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You.’’ Our flower was the red rose, and our colors were blue and white. The highlights of the year were: several class hayrides and parties; May Day, with Connie Edelstein and Nancy Wheeler representing us in the May Court; the Farm Show; and, to us, just the pleasure of being in high school. In September, 1951, we ‘‘bees’’ again assembled at Rustburg High School after a very enjoyable vacation. Only this year we found ourselves one step nearer our goal--we were now Sophomores. Mr. Fred Garbee was our home room teacher this year. We elected Barbara Tanner our class president. Again, we spent a very joyous year, full of parties and gatherings, as well as work. Mary Ellen Droog and Estelle Leonard represented us in the May Court. There were F. F. A. and F., H. A. banquets which we all felt proud to have the privilege of attending. At last, our long-awaited vacation came, and once more we parted, realizing th at before too long we would be together again. In September, '52, we all rushed back into our ‘“‘hive’’ as real upperclassmen--‘‘so- phisticated’’ Juniors. We elected Gladys Long our class president. Again we were happy to have Mr. Garbee as our sponsor. Without a doubt, our most outstanding event of the year was entertaining the Seniors at a banquet and dance. Other highlights of the year were: our Junior Play, ‘‘Quit Your Kidding’’; getting our class rings; May Day; our Christmas and Valentine parties; and carrying the daisy chain for the Seniors. We were all glad when our vacation came, knowing that on our next return to our hive’’ we would at last be Seniors. September 7, 1953, found us happily humming at Rustburg High. Why not? We were now ‘‘dignified’’ Seniors! We were very happy to have as our sponsor, Mrs. Margaret Minnick. Joyce Waller was elected class president. To us, this has been the busiest of our school years. A few of the many’important events of the year were: the Senior Play; the Junior-Senior Entertainment; Senior Day; our parties given by our home room mothers; Class Night; and Commencement. Now the time has come for us ‘‘bees’’ to buzz along, each in his own direction; but we are hoping that many may be the times when we can all assemble again in our ‘‘hive”’ and relive the many golden memories of the days we've spent together at Rustburg High School.
