Gulledge, Miss Lillian Cunningham, Miss Alice Stough and Miss Worthy Spence con- tributed an even larger share of “readin’, writin’ and ’rithmetic,” along with such sub- jects as geography, literature, history and English. The eighth year was the culmination of the long climb to the broader ways. With the interest and help of Miss Kathleen Morris, Coach Howell, Miss Jane Hinson, and Miss Worthy Spence, the group prepared to travel the road marked “‘Advance,” as they grad- uated from Junior High. The final lap of the twelve year journey is crammed full of rich experiences. The fresh- men shed their “‘green shell” under the guid- ance of Mr. W. L. Wildermuth, Miss Eliza- beth Johnson, Miss Olive Kirby, Coach How- ell, Miss Marion Craig, Mr. Gerald Hicks, Miss Louise Treadwell, and Miss Mildred Allen. Mr. V. W. Lewis, superintendent, and Mr. George Snuggs, principal, were ever ready to lend helping hands. The “Sophisticated Sophomores” moved forward successfully with the encouragement of Miss Olive Kirby, Miss Elizabeth Fink, Miss Elizabeth Johnson, Mr. W. L. Wilder- muth (who became principal after Mr. Snuggs’ resignation), Mr. David Bennett, and three new teachers—Mrs. Ray Shelton, Coach, Mr. Shelley Cashion, and Mrs. Tom Wall. The eleventh year was one of hard work, many changes, and great happiness. Many new instructors were added to the W. H. S. faculty. Miss Hermine Caraway, Mrs. George Huntley, Miss Betty Mintz, Miss Octavia Temple, Mrs. Robert Smith, Mr. Al Paling, Miss Blanche Banta, Miss Carrie Sturgis, and Mr. W. B. Terrell (Principal), added a refreshing “newness” to the atmosphere, and pushed the group forward with marked effi- clency. The Seniors are being directed in their final year of High School by the same faculty of their Junior year, with the exception of Mrs. Robert Smith, and Mrs. George Huntley, who have been replaced by Mr. Hix, and Mrs. George Miller. The last chapter of the “History of the Class of ’45” is filled with uncertainties, for war darkens views of the future. This, the most important year in High School, is the decisive moment when each Senior must de- cide which road he wishes to travel. With the courage, faith, and knowledge which have been instilled and encouraged through the years, the Class of 1945 is ready to start the long journey down the Hi-Way of Life. Page Eleven

Hass fistory CAROLINE GULLEDGE Class Historian Va SENIOR Class of 1945 stands at the fork of the broad, unexplored Hi-Way of Life. Afte r twelve years of traveling the narrow and often diffi- cult by-ways, the Seniors have made a good beginning on the greatest road of them all. They are now facing the decisive turn. Scan the pages of history written by the Seniors during the past twelve years. True, they were not breathlessly exciting years, but they were not years spent worthlessly. Every pupil has met with trials, but each has had his share of happiness and cherished memo- ries. The first few pages of the “1945 Senior Class History” give one a glimpse of the early years, when a shy group of youngsters started their trek down the Hi-Way. They were given a grand send-off by Mrs. Joe Liles and Miss Mary Plunkett. By the second year, school was not as unfamiliar. Mrs. Chase Baughn and Miss Elizabeth Webb added a liceral share of “readin’, writin’ and ’rith- metic.”” Miss Julia Cameron and Mrs. EHlea- nor Gray left a lasting impression with their third grade work. The fourth year was the last year in the grammar grade building. It passed quickly under the splendid guidance of Mrs. Ethel Bennett and Mrs. Louis Fogle- man. The next four years were exciting ones for the Class of ’45, for the members were getting accustomed to the newness of mingling with older students. They considered themselves quite “grown up” upon their arrival in the High School Building. Mrs. Heck Allen and Miss Pauline Pinkston gave them their first view into the vast unknown trails. During the sixth year, Mrs. W. W. Bennett and Miss Nora Boggan did a splendid job of broaden- ing the knowledge of the eager group. Some- thing new was added in the seventh grade— the thrilling experience of having four teach- ers and. “changing classes.” Mrs7 W.J. Page Ten
