RETREAT The Bugler Boy blew reveille fbr- the class of '49 on a September morning that was to begin our high school days. It was reveille because we were just beginning to realize the Hope and excitement-and fear that are a part fof high school life. We entered the portals forty-odd strong, representing the faith andsideals that is America. We timidly crept up the long halls to the Freshman room, which were, when we were in the grammar grades, considered sacred ground. We were a typical Freshman Class-bearing tlte pranks of' the upper classes. To- lead us over the' stony path toward our Sophomore year we chose Bernard Williams as President, Wilfred Jones, Vice Presidentg -Dot Kooker as Secretary, and Billie Lowrey, Treasurer. Mrsg H. A. Wilson, Jr., was our long-suffering sponsor-she may be commended for her patience to this day. Coming upQas Sophomores we were under the amused guidance of Mrs. Summers. Our noses were beginning to assume a tilt toward the lowly Freshmeng we had a larger social life, an greater voice in school affairs, commanding more attention from the upperclassmen, and learning to really take elections seriously. -In our second election we chose Dolly Johnson for the responsible job of President, Ruth Everett, Vice President, Pauline Comer, Secretary, and J. C. Williams, Jr., Treasurer. Yes, we were at last swinging into the rhythm of our high school life. Remember how proud we were to march in Mrs. Winchester's dom2h?- She urged us toward our -magazine campaign goal and helped us make a splendid success of our junior-Senior Banquet. And remember how, in the grammar grades, we con- sidered Juniors and Seniors as ancient and dignified? Well now we were beginning to feel the rank, and with the help of our faculty, we were desperately trying to be ood little boys and girls. For our officers' we chose ones who could take the rap for our misdemeanors and use diploma when a party was needed' or when we were in sore need of essentials. Of these ofaials we again chose Dolly Johnson for Presi- dent, Richard Gamble, Vice President, Mary Anne Wells, Secretaryg and Billie Lowrey, Treasurer. As the Senior year came into view in all its dignity and glory, we werefrstraining to stow away the best happenings for future remembrance, really collecting memories and complaining if we didn't have a more exciting Senior life. Wanting to have the best year and best class in the history of Summerfield High Cwhich we havej Mrs. Gamble, our sponsor, has doubtless had many an hour of amusement and exasperation over our sentiments. Indeed, our Senior year has been crammed full of the excite- ment which -belongs to a ,Senior-planning parties, choosing invitations, measuring for caps and gowns, planning the class play and doing countless things to add to our status. Sure, the last year is .the time for reminiscing. It is the time to express the gratitude you feel to the faculty and students who have made high school the happiest days of your life. The little Bugler Boy blows the closing notes of Taps for the class of '49-as a body we will drift apart, taking with us the friendship and fun we have gathered, but we will remain spiritually one as the-class of '49.
