On this occasion our hearts are filled wjth happiness because we have reached our goal as far as high school is concerned, and because we have had very pleasant times together as a class. Our only re¬ gret is that our High School days are over and that we are each to take our separate ways along the pathway of life. No matter what our goal may be as individuals, we all know that we want happiness above everything else. We cannot secure happi¬ ness unless we feel deep within our hearts that we are a success, nor can we be happy if we put ourselves above everyone else. We cannot possibly live to ourselves, we must learn to live with others, and to respect their opinions Instead of being wrapped up in our selfish ways; that leads us to the importance of courtesy which should stand out above all our other ambitions. All through life we will meet new people and we must have the ability to make friends easily, and of being polite by respecting the rights of others. Honesty is also an Important factor in measuring success. We must remember to be honest with others, and honest to ourselves. Happiness is impossible if we try to pretend rather than live a life of honesty within ourselves. Another main factor for success in life is the ability to ex¬ press ourselves clearly and never let others influence us. If we feel that our opinion is correct, let u3 stick to that decision. All of these things-courtesy, honesty, and self-expression may seem unimportant to us now, but let us remember that these are Important aspects of everyone ' s life and will be a great asset to us whether or not we desire to continue our education. In the future we know the e will be many discouraging things; but with the knowledge we have gained, we should be able to meet them scuarely and intelligently. Let us overcome the difficulties which may stand in our way, and may we never give in to tempt tions, which arp many. We are about to depart from the walls of Spottswood High School, hut we can proudly say we will have memories of the days that were spent here forever. This is not a time for weeping but a time for rejoicing because we have climbed one important step on our road to success. May we romemb r this night as one of the happiest and proudest events of our lives. Thelma Cash SALUTATORY Parents, Teachers, Friends, and Classmates: Tonight, We, the graduating class of 1955 welcome each of you to this our commencement exercise. For eleven years we have looked forward to this night. Through these years, as we have come here day by day, this school has played an Important p rt in our lives. We are leaving here with memories, some very happy, some not Quite so pleasant; hut all ad up to prepare us for the experiences that the future holds for us. We have been told to attend school gnd study to get an educa¬ tion. Some one as said, Education 1 fl what you remember,, after you forget, what you went to school to learn. How much education each one has varies with the individual, his attitude and the ef¬ fort he has put forth to master the subject that he has taken. We have also learned other lessons not studied in books, such as how to get along with other people, and to consider their likes and dislikes. We have also learned lessons in school spirit and sports¬ manship. We have been proud of our school and are proud that we have been a part of it. Many people have done more than their part to make this night possible for us. First, our parents, who have given us love, en¬ couragement, guidance and patient understanding. You, our parents, have helped us through hardships that have faced us, and you have guided us in the right direction. You have made many sacrifices for us that this our dream and. yours might come true. We thank you, and will show our appreciation to each of you by the lives we live as we go from here. To you, our teachers, who have taught and guided us into making right decisions, we owe a great debt of gratitude. Some of you greeted us that first morning, in the first grade, and are here tonight to share our happiness with us. We have been trying at times and it took a lot of patience and understanding on your part, to meet the situations; often we were reluctant to do aur nart, or do what we knew to be right. Your help and guidance brought us through and the memories that will linger, will be of the happy times we shared together here at school. We will long remember the many extra things you did for us. Tonight, we would like to say, Thank you. We do sincerely appreciate your guidance, lead¬ ership, and patience that have helped us through our school days, and brought us to this our high school graduation. Friends, we have been aware of your support all through our school days. We know you are interested in this school, the stu¬ dents who attend h re and the teachers who work here. v ou have shared our happiness when we won honors and encouraged us when we did not do so well. We thank you. Undergraduates, we challenge you to make the best use of vour remaining school days. We will be proud of any honors you may bring to our school. Again, we welcome each one of you to our commencement exercise. We are glad you could be with us tonight to see us the graduates of 1U55 take our leave of Spottswood High School. Again, we wish to say, Thank you, for everything you have done for us. Billy Harris CLASS HIS ORY On a bright, sunny day in the early fall of 19 , a group of ide-eyed boys and girls began their Journey to the top under the ble guidance of Mrs. Frances Wilson. Those who have traveled the ilea together are Billy Harris, Lee Morris, Mary Knox, Mary Belle .alston, Betty Cash, Mildred Lotts, Thelma Cash, Elizabeth Campbell Our first year was over. Would we continue to keep going ahead, r would we let less Important things stand in our way of reaching he goal? The next year found us in the second grade after a summer va- atlon under the leadership of Mrs. Susie McCormick. Maxine Tay- or and James Smiley Joined us. In the third grade, Mlsa Mary McClure guided us on our way. Bobby Truxell, J. W. Smiley, and Johnny Ham Joined us this year. Continuing on our way to the goal, Miss Carrie Luca led us through the fourth grade. Thla year Helen Buchanan Joined the group The preaentatlon of operettaa highlighted this year. After a summer ' s vactlon, we were found in the fifth grade with 4is8 Frances Fulwlder directing us over the rocky road. Bunny Fitzg erald Joined us, and again operettas were the highlight of the year. Miss Florence Turk was our leader during the sixth year. We returned to school after a vactlon find ourselves In the seventh grade under the fervent leadershir of Mrs. Lyle Humphries. It was hard to believe, but we were about ready to enter high school Tommy Bradley Joined ua this year. At last, part of our struggle was over; a part had begun. We vere still not at the top goal, but climbing. We would soon be graduating—an ambition realized for all of us. The word Senior 10 longer seemed mysterious, yet It still seemed a long way off. With pride and confidence in ourselves, we entered high school, and with little difficulty, we soon adjusted ourselves to the rou¬ tine of high school life. This year was 195x. Paul Koogler, Mark Hayes, and Gaynell Snead Joined us. Messrs. J. T. Horn, G. T. Perron, C. W. Krause, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Tolley, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Clague, and Mrs. Elizabeth East made up the faculty and guided us through our first step of high school. Our Sophomore year brought us nearer our goal. Mr. and Mrs. larry Carter and Mr. Cecil Layman were out new teachers. When we returned from a summer vacation, we foc d ourselves to be Jolly Juniors. Our Junior play Aaron Slick from Punkln rick , which went off very successfuliy ; highlighted this year, nothar highlight was the entertaining of the Seniors. At last we realized th� t we were coming nearer to our goal - Seniors. Our new teachers were Mr. John Burnette and Mr. James Hawpe. It was several months before we realized that we were actually Seniors. We had climbed the rocky road to success. The eleventh mile was to be the end of our educational Journey at Spottswood High School. Our new guides were Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Vannoy, Mr. -v. A. Springer, Miss Ruth Huffman, and Mr. R. S. Catron. We were joined in our class by Mary Jean Hamilton. C .ass rings were thrilling. Our play Aunt Hetty Hits Her Stride was a success. The Spotlight highlighted this year. At the end, we will hold a sheet of white paper called a diploma which will signify the completion of our education at this institution. As we look, back through our eleven years of Journeying, we find that we shall always cherish the memories of our school days at Spottswood High School.

Signed: Witnesses; i I Class Poem We ' re the cla6s of nineteen hundred and fifty-five, On fun and laughter we do thrive. When we depart there shall be many tears, But we ' ll remember each other throughout the years. To begin our history I think we shall, Start with Mildred then and now. Mildred is about our quietest one, Away to college she will run. Helen is our tall girl now, And certainly she is everyone ' s r al. She 1 s our curly headed one, Also neat and loads of fun. Elizabeth Ann 1 s little and kind, A truer friend is hard to f nd. She ' s fond of snorts and boys, too, She ' ll keen you all from beinp 1 blue. As for Maxin° you ' ll find no one kinder, But dreaming of sports you ' ll always find her. She goes to dances and has her fun, On her list, basketball is number one. Betty is always friendly and sweet, A better friend is hard to beat. She always busy and on the go, Roy is hpr future one as we all know. Marybelle is everyone ' s friend, A helming hand she ' ll always lend. In her neat and kindly way, She will succeed more every day. G-oynell is our red-headed one, No one else could be more fun. She is just as nice as can be, A better friend you ' ll never see. Bunny is our smallest friend, A helping hand she ' ll e.lwpys lend. Anything she doesn ' t know isn ' t in the book, But she isn ' t as quiet as she may look. Thelma dresses as neat as a pin, She ' s the one boys would like to win. We hope the future ' ll be good to you, And your dreams will always come true. Mary Jean is likeable and gay, Will she succeed? Yes, all the way. She ' s been a friend to each of us, We never hear her argue or fuss. Mary is always loads of fun, And she keeps the boys on the run. She is very seldom quiet, And is always thinking about her diet. Johnny is our baseball fan, And you can bet he ' s a ladles man. With his winning ways and friendly smile, He ' s a friend that ' s really worth while. Paul is always lots of fun, Away to Annabelle ' s he ' l] always run. He is a lac? with winning ways, And will succeed in future days. Tommy our shy one though he is tall, Has been a friend to one and all. You ' ll never see him blue or sad, And he is a very courteous lad. Bobby is kind and svreet as can be, A better friend you ' ll never see. Along with books and sports and. fun. He 1s a friend to everyone. Billy is our basketball star, In the future he ' ll go far. u e ' s as mischievous as can be, A minutes peace you ' ll never see. Everything James does he gets caught, But someday a lesson he ' ll be taught. He ' s been a friend to one and all, Ready to help whenever you call. Jay W. is our real he-man, Supply the fun, he really can. And to school he is always late, Hang him out, he ' ll make teachers bait. Lee Boy is our little goof, Depend on him to raise the roof, He talks to all and has his fun, But we all know Jo Ann is his only one. Mark is another pest, When he ' s around we never rest. He ' s fond of sports and girls, too, He keeps us all from being blue. Most of us have been together for eleven years, We ' ve seen many laughs and we ' ve seen many tears. Many of our friends have left us to go on their own, Some to other schools and some to roam. But wherever they may be, We wish them much success to see. School is about over and we think hard work is done, But if we only knew it; it has Just begun. We are about to depart after many years of endeavor, We wish each other success and happiness forever. imors i Dolly Moomau Halile Shifflett Edwin Brooks Danny Hite Tonmy Smiley Faye Robertson Wilson Ayers Anne Belle Bowers William L.
