It was on an early morning in September of 1944, that we, as eager Freshmen, enrolled at Temple Hill High School. 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.
