CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1942 a small group of boys and girls gathered for the first time in Mrs. Rochester's room to begin twelve joyous years of school. Among our present class who started in the first grade and are still with us are E. G. Brock, Bobby Denny, Tommy Ensslin, Harold Hester, Miller McCormack, Jim Spoonamore, Herbie Von Gruenigen, and Jeri Griffin. Barbara Hill and Billy Wilson also started in the first grade, but they transferred elsewhere for several years. In the second grade we gained Alice Traylor who ventured in from Hubble. We were under the superb guidance of Mrs. Montgomery. In the third grade we had two fine teachers. They were Miss Carter and Mrs. Burgin. This year we were joined by Druetta Lawson who came from Hustonville and Jerry Cox from Lancaster. As fourth graders we were led by Miss Denham. Tommy Wright from Lexington was added to our class. During the fifth grade we were guided by Miss Jones. A small, chubby, sandy-headed boy from Versailles came into our group. He was Bobby Clark. Also, Cloyd Oakes skipped the fourth grade to join us. In the sixth grade Miss Dudderar was our teacher. Kenneth Hester, who was always full of giggles, came to us from Crab Orchard. As seventh graders, Miss Davis was our home room teacher. This year a Green Devil from Lancaster joined our class. He was Eddie Robinson. In the eighth grade we began to be known as little terrors. Mrs. Embry was our teacher. This year we gained Charles Lasure, who had previously been a grade ahead of us; Bill Lawson, who came in from Hubble; Kate Ball, Peyton Gooch, and David Miracle, who came from Crab Orchard; and Ann Caudill, the biggest one of the class, came to us from Shelbyville. As Freshmen we gained Barbara Hill and Barbara Timberlake who came to us from Hubble, and Nellie Berry who came from Neils Creek. Mrs. Holtzclaw was our home room teacher. As Sophomores, Mr. Durham was our teacher. Ronald Stricklin from Somerset, Ruth Peek and Martha Harmon from Crab Orchard joined us. As Juniors we gained only one. She was the good looking blackheaded Shirley Gidley from Texas. Our home room teacher was Mr. Vanover. Senior year came before we hardly knew it. We made our plans for the greatest year of all. Mrs. Cash, whom we all enjoyed very much, was our home room teacher. During the year, Shirley Gidley became Mrs. Donald Dawson and left to make her home in Houston, Texas. At the close of the year, there were twenty-nine Seniors. We have shared twelve wonderful years together.
