Peggy Glenn was the speaker, and Dick Lovegrove and Hunter Swink were Dixiecrat vote-getters and babykissers. Below: Christmas pageant held Friday, December 17. The theme was “No Room,” with Martha Ann Swezey as the Queen of Roses. This play was performed in grand fashion and its message to us was that God should live in the heart of every man.

Tommy Guthrie . President Eugene Daugherty. . Vice President Richard Lotts. . Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class History In September, 1945, we made our entrance to Waynesboro High School. We were the greenest of “green horns,” but gradually things straightened out in our bewildered minds, and we elected Margaret Armentrout, president; “Pinkie” Wade, vice president, and Mil Maney, secretary-treasurer, as our officers. Three new clubs were formed that year: The Latin, Spanish and Girls’ “W” Clubs. We were also represented on the Social Com¬ mittee, Student Council, Red Cross, Choral Club, Cheerleaders, Boys’ “W” Club and the annual staff. September, 1946, arrived. The group of forty-niners mingling together was smaller, more sure of them¬ selves, and definitely prepared for any “uppity upperclassmen.” We were in the midst of everything, including the newspaper staff, the band and sports. With Margaret Little, president; Tommy Guthrie, vice president, and Bill Shorter, secretary-treasurer, we grew into a real part of W. H. S. At last we were “Jolly Juniors” and Lipperclassmen! ! It was a wonderful year with the sports and club activities to which the Beta, F. H. A., Key and D. E. Clubs were added. Of course, our Junior-Senior Banquet, over which we worked so hard, was a success. We chose Bill Smith as class president, Tommy Hassard as vice president and Richard Lotts as secretary-treasurer. Indeed it was an unforgettable year. September came again, but how different it was from previous ones. We had front seats in assembly, early lunch privileges, our fellow-classmen in positions of honor, and all of this because we were Seniors! ! The Honor Code functioned well as did Driver Training and the Lyre Club. Athletics were average. We reached our ultimate goal—graduation—but old W. H. S. and you faculty members, who have guided us so well, don’t think for a moment that you won’t be in our minds and hearts throughout the years to come. 4 10 }
