The original building— o 4-room structure— was erected in 1909. From this beginning it developed into o modern 18-room structure. But regardless of its size, it has always stood os the sym- bol and center of education and recreation in our community. Many thousands of students hove received their education at Temple Hill and hove gone forth prepared to meet the demands of life. When the building was destroyed by fire in the early morning of January 24, 1 948, we suffered o loss that con never be replaced. However, we cherish the memories and traditions now more than ever. Realizing this will be our lost Annual from the old school, it is with fondest memories and devotion that we dedicate this to thee, Ole Temple Hill. untiring efforts to moke possible the publication of the lost Temp- lar which was ever made at Temple Hill.

Our class had one of the largest enrollments in the history of our school with students coming from Mason ' s Store, Sulphur Springs, Emerson, High Point, Adam ' s Chapel, and Hamlin grade school, and one pupil from Berwind, West V irginia. The first year of high school quickly passed away and we returned to school the following year as Sophomares. During our Sophomore year several of the members of our class were on the basketball and baseball teams, but most everyone was interested in trying to improve their grades so that they would be eligible for entrance into the Beta Club. As Juniors in high school most everyone participated in various school activities. The big events of the year were the presentation of the Junior play, Granddad Steps Out, and the Junior-Senior banquet which was held in the high school gymnasium. In September of 1947, we returned to school as Seniors. Fifty-two of us had come through high school together. Realizing that we would finish high school in a few short months, we began to look back over our previous years in school and to look into the future ahead of us. On January 23, 1948, our beloved high school was destroyed by fre. We were sent to the high school at Lebanon,Virginia to continue our education. Each and every- one of us was determined to work harder than ever before in memory of the school which had played such a big part in our lives. As our school days draw to a close, with deepest gratitude to our teachers and our fellow-students we say good-bye to the spirit of our Alma Mater.

Naturally, I hadn ' t been able to keep up with all my classmates, so I decided to look them up on my atomoscope, Willard Kiser ' s newest invention. Harry Bratton, of course, is the most famous person who was in our graduating class, since he is the President of the United States. His private secretaries are Ellen Gray, Peggy Gose and Dorothy Ring, and he has appointed Gerald Herndon Secretary of State and Paul Burton Secre- tary of Labor. Jean Burke has been appointed the first woman to serve as a Supreme Court judge. Ralph Musick is ambassador to Atlantis and Jimmie Bostic is a consul in Venezuela where he is involved in the latest revolution. Dorothy Gibson is head of a charm school in Los Angeles, and Frances Johnson, after taking one of her courses, has become a model in the Harry Dickenson Model- ing Agency. Randall Sargent is now a millionaire. He made his fortune by manufacturing a new type of bubble gum called Blow-Easy . Johnny Kiser has also made a great fortune. He is in the fur business. Mildred Salyer is president of the largest dairy busi- ness in this country, the Tri-State Dairy Co-operative. Hazel Huff is married, of course, but she is also the editor of Senorita , the new fashion magazine. Jess Osborne owns a circus, the second largest in the world. Stafford is the tight-rope artist, and Olaf has re- cently been hired as a lion tamer. Thelma Castle has just gotten a big raise and a pro- motion to society editor of the New York Times. Bob Harding and Billy Honaker are members of a large orchestra. Bob is the drummer and Billy plays the clarinet. Betty Jean has been awarded the Corot Memorial Prize for the best nature painting of the year. She called the painting Grass. Katherine Kiser and Betty Ann are married to con- gressmen, and are going around helping them in their election campaigns. Robert Griffith has grown a mustache and become quite dignified as the president of Harvard College. Darius King has settled in Richmond with the beautiful Australian girl he married on his trip around the world. Margaret King is married and has a home in Nashville, six children and three dogs. She seems very happy. Donald and Joe are making the army their career. They are a couple of contented Colonels. Hope seems to be sitting around twiddling her thumbs, waiting for that army guy and trying to forget her last romance. Joe Hawkins owns the Hawkins Aircraft Company of Detroit. His company puts out a new type of rocket plane which reaches a speed never before accomplished. Bill Robinson is in Hollywood with the leading roll in the new movie, The End of the Beginning . His movie name is Rory Brandt. Helen Hol brook and Helen Smith are running an in- terior decorating business in Seattle called Helen ' s In- teriors , and Louise is living there in Seattle, writing a new book on basketball. Margaret Pickett is planning to leave her home in Little Rock soon. She is taking her daughter to Hollywood because she looks like Shirley Temple used to look. Bob Branson is now quite a successful author, having just published his third book. Jerline Caudill is an author, too. She writes modern poetry. Frances Wohiford, who married the year after her graduation, is head of a travel bureau, besides running her family. Kathryn Davis has taken over the old Joan Davis pro- gram and is heard every Thursday night. Dorothy Willis is living in Paris, using the French she worked so hard to learn. Zelma is also in France. She is a very high-priced dress designer. John Osborne owns a chain of hotels with one in each of the large cities of the world. He spends his summers in his hotel in Switzerland and his winters in the one in Los Angeles. Patsy Gibson and Virginia Bolton own a publishing business in Chicago. Virginia, of course, makes it a point to read all the books. Jewel Robinson has recently wed Henry Ford IV and is the first society leader in her city to wear 1970 ' s New Look. Marvis White owns a dude ranch out West, and every year some of his old friends go out to spend their vacation with him. Kathy Counts is Martin Sinatra ' s manager. Martin is Frank ' s son, and he ' s a crooner, too — but not as popular as his Dad was. Gaines Skeens is an Atomic engineer, at present trying to find the cause of the explosion which destroyed Maine. My atomoscope has been growing weaker and weaker. I ' ve been almost afraid to look up everyone, but I ' m through and thank heavens the thing waited until now to blow up.

Our Annual was ready to go to the publishers when our building was destroyed by fire. Nothing of the Annual was saved except a copy of the pictures which were in the school safe. From this meager beginning — we give you the ' ' 1 948 Templar ' . To our advertisers — our only record was our memory. Con- sequently some of the advertisements are without doubt omitted. For this we are truly sorry — but we have done our best and know that under the circumstances, you will understand. Again — to each of you we say thank you for helping to make our Annual possible.

The ruins of Temple Hill School ore pictured here. This school, where many of us hod spent our entire school life, is no more. Our many school activities were to be have been concluded here, but it was burned. The foremost question in our mind was ' Will our Senior Class be broken up? Had it not been for the generosity of Lebanon High School, we probably could not have remained intact. It is with deepest gratitude and appreciation that we again extend our thanks to Mr. Moore, the Lebanon faculty, and the students for providing a place for us for the remainder of the year. They have been most generous in sharing their facilities with us. We know that they have had to make many sacrifices in order that we could have space for our classes. We shall never forget their many kindnesses and courtesies. We hope that we shall never have to repay you in like man- ner, but that there will be other ways in which we may reciprocate. u I ' ' 4 9 I i- di ■ IT '
