We chose as our class flower a red rose bud, our class colors cream and crimsong and our chosen motto Yester- day is goneg God has tomorrowg only today is ours. Kay Lee and Sheila Abel were our varsity cheerleaders for the season of 1968-69. On October 4, 1969, our class play, The Green Snowman, was presented, and it was a great success. Juanita Har- ker was chosen for Girls' State and Mark Jenkins and Glenn Jackson for Boys' State. The alternates were Debbie Kidwell, Dale Boyd and Garry Smith. May 9, 1969, was the date of the most exciting event of the year. The Prom was presented on this date, and the theme of the Prom was Three Coins in a Fountain. During the year we were joined by three students: David Stoner from Kentucky, Danny McCarty from Indianapolis, and Cathy Sims from California. Also, during the year six students withdrew leaving a total of 80 students to finish their junior year. Seventy-Six students enrolled on August 28, 1969, to begin their last year of high school.

Kay Lee, Sheila Abel, and Donna Ragsdale were the varsity cheerleaders from our class. Sheila Abel was slected to be our senior class candidate for basketball queen. She was crowned queen for the 1969-1970 season, and thus another member of our class held this honor. On April 24, 1970, our senior play was presented. Nine Girls proved to be a giant success and was well received. On May 8, 197 0, the 1969-70 Prom was held, which was entitled A Evening in Venice.
