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.
