iVi iYit m iii ,'ii iii iit 122 Little did we know when we entered this institution of knowledge what was in store for us (or we'd never have begun our educationi). T'-as under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Brown that children about two feet tottered off to school to lay the basis of their achievements. Our grade years were happy and blitheful ones. We slowly climbed the ladder to the eighth grade to the amaze- ment and disbelief of the faculty members. In the year 1943, we came to the threshold of our high school life. As Freshmen, under the high pressure of Miss Myra Fleet, we learned how to study (?) During this year we got our first taste of guidance, giving us a hazy glimpse of what seemed then--------our far off future. One of the lighter moments of this year was the initiation party given in our honor by the Sophomores. In June, 1944, we received our diplomas graduating us into Senior High School. The next September we entered school as upper classmen,'Sophomores. Many of the members of our class began to p'articipate in extra-curricular activities, and the whole cheerleading squad was chosen from members of our class. We started the Freshmen off by teaching them, the meaning of high school life throueh an initiation party. Miss Eleanor Hayslip, who resigned from the faculty last year, did a very efficient job in coaching us while we were Sophomores. All summer, much against our will, we worked earning money to finance that still far-away career which Miss Fleet kept impressing on our minds. Then came the illustrious Junior year when we really began in earnest to dream of our Washington trip. Besides dreaming, we began raising money to make it possible. A few projects that year were the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, the May Dance and an Amateur Night. Dur biggest project was a bazarr in the summer preceeding our Senior Year. Miss Nancy Jean Wilcox, our advisor, with all the hard work she put forth, made this year a great success. At last we came to our Senior year and the person we couldn t have lived without. Miss Florence T. Garfall. We couldn t begin to tell you all that we sold, raffled and advertised, not to mention the dances, plays, and various other affairs we put on to meet that huge goal of 2500 for our trip. We had loads of fun though, and it's one year of our life v e'll never forget. After the trip was over, we settled down to serious study for the June Re- gents. Now as v e approach the Graduation Exercises, we look back and realize what a marvelous thirteen years we had.
