Clk-.SIS Alsfory We the Senior Class of 1961 are at last completing our last years of high school. They were happy years. We have had fun and heartaches during the time we have been in high school. We've done many things which we are proud to talk about along with some we are not so proud of. ln August of 1957, forty-five of us delightly entered high school as freshmen. Some of us came from Howards Creek the year before, but were well in swing with the rest of the class by now. Our leaders for that year were Judy Seagle, Barbara Chapman, Dot Beam, Shirley Johnson, Judy Gilbert, and Tom Rhyne. In August of 1958 we went on to higher education. We were sopho- mores. There were only 43 in our class that year. Our leaders were Barbara Chapman, Richard Baucom, Dot Beam, Phil Hoover, Tom Rhyne, Larry Yoder, and Shirley Johnson. Some of the boys and girls were honored with the privilege of carry- ing our school colors as basketball players. In the spring of 1959 we had come to the year most of us had been looking forward to, our Junior. We had many events to look forward to. There were 39 of us that year. Our leaders were Tom Rhyne, David Warlick, Barbara Chapman, Judy Seagle, Carolyn Scronce, and Larry Yoder. Six Juniors were initiated into the Beta Club. The biggest events of that year were the Junior Play entitled, Sing for Your Supper, which was a big success, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. We choose the Cinderella Ball as a theme and did we ever have a ball. At last in the spring of 1960, we were Seniors. We will soon be facing graduation. There are 37 of us now. Our leaders are David Warlick, Tom Rhyne, Judy Seagle, Larry Yoder, and Richard Baucom. This year we look forward to presenting the Senior Play, and most important we look forward to graduation. It has been a long hard climb. Many of us will go on to higher ed- ucation and many of us will go directly into making a living for ourselves But whatever we set out to dol am confident we will succeed. Historian Barbara Chapman
