Class History Chapter III High School Days A bond of unity and friendship began on that day of September, 1946, a bond which shall soon be broken up as each member takes his place in the world. Yes, it was then that a new class of 76 students became a part of Temple Hill High School. The members came from the Temple Hill grades, Sulphur Spring, Dorton ' s School, Hamlin, Emerson, and High Point. With Mr. Carter as principal and Mrs. Laymon Kiser and Mrs. Donald Gray as home room teachers, we soon learned to love high school life. The year passed quickly and we returned the following year as Sophomores. It was a great shock when the school burned on January 24 of that year, but we were taken to Lebanon to finish the year. We returned to the temporary buildings at Castlewood the next year as Juniors. Several of us were taken into the Beta Club and several of our members helped compose the athletic teams. We also took part in the county literary contests. Our rings were received in November, and a banquet was given for the Seniors on April 14. Then in the fall of 1949, the day arrived that we had all longed for. We were Seniors! Forty-two out of 76 had made the journey. The year was filled with activity for most of us. It is now, as the year is fast drawing to a close, that we, with sorrow, appreciation, and pride prepare to leave our dear school. As each of us departs alone, we wonder how the fourth chapter of our lives will be written.
