get ny hair groomed. I went to the Powers-Hann Beauty Salon and there I was very lucky. I talked with Dorothy and she told me that she and June Hamm were ' in partnership and had employed Mildred Camp- bell, Betty Hall, and Flo Johnson to work for them. Out of that hunch Flo told me that she was married to a boy in the Navy. I couldn’t believe it. I still haven’t seen all of ny classmates. Some of them are nurses I hear. I must see all of them so I decided I’d go over to the hospital. I found Vir- ginia King as private secretary, Mildred Couch as floor boss and special nurse of the hospital. She likes her work very much. V hilc there, she told me that Betty Jane Peters and Ivlayme Saddler were in college in that town. I could not resist seeing them. Betty and I.Iaymc told me their desire was to become teachers at 01c Temple Hill when their courses were finished. I must go down to the post office and mail a let- ter hone to tell mother what a wonderful time I am having. Just as I walked in the dooij I met Evange- line Jackson coming out with lots of letters. She is employed there. Since I have seen all of my classmates I must now go back to my studios; but before I do I want to say that It was a great pleasure seeing all of ny class- mates once again. Thanks to you, little creature , who made my wonderful thoughts come true ’. Lois Kiser

Prom Dante came Betty Hall. From Radford came Ray Hughes and from Ervington High came Thomas Phillips. That year our school life wasn’ t a bed of roses. We were looked down upon by the advanced classes as being poor, meek, and shy Freshmen. Wilma Byington, Annette Litton, Nettie Castle, and Lois Kiser went out for basketball and made outstanding players. Mary Ruth Banner won the Scholarship Medal. We studied hard and soon entered our Sophomore year. Only 65 of us came back that fall as sopho- mores. We welcomod several new teachers to Temple Hill and the year passed quickly and we soon found ourselves studying for our final exams. ' At the beginning of the Junior year, we welcomed Mr. J. E. Carter as principal, who had taken Mr. Robinson’s place. Mr. Carter has been well-liked by the students and made many improvements in our school, work. During that year we received our class rings and ga e a very promisirg Junior play, Spring Fever 1 ' . under the direction of Mrs. Carter. Our .Girl’s Basketball team won tho county championship Trophy of 1S45 in the Tournament. This happy year soon came to an end and we were truly sorry to see it close . Then came the Senior year with all its dignity and grace. We had ' a ..new homeroom teacher this year, Mrs. Carter, whom we respected, and appreciated. She has helped us in every possible way. At the begin- ning of this year, we welcomed three new pupils to join our happy class; Iris Belle King from Dante, Beulah Dougherty from Kingsport, and Ray Hughes from a Naval Academy in Florida. At last we have reached our goal of graduation. Wo feel all our struggles and disappointments haven’t been in vain and we can easily look back through the past four years and see our mistakes, yet they are only dim shadows in the past and we look forward to a brighter tomorrow. When the members of this re- markable class have all achieved the fame and honors that arc bounds to come to the£i the memories cf these four years w ill linger in the hearts of each and every one.
