HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS We embarked upon our still unfinished career as high school students August 2, 1943. There were about twenty- five freshmen in our class and although they called us green, we couldn't for the life of us see anything green about our class. We felt that as far as education was concerned, we had already learned all there was to know. That was 'before we met Miss Combs, Miss Kitty and Mr, Halcomb in the class- rooms.

We had our same teachers back, all except Miss Combs, and in her place as principal we had Mr. Baker.
