Vice President CLASS HISTORY In this our senior year, we look back on the four previous years with happy thoughts. We look back to our freshman year in 1946 and remember how foolish and bewildered we must have been. It was hard for us to adjust ourselves to this new, exciting life, but we did and started our first year in high school by electing our class officers who were President, Mary Moore; Vice President, Char¬ lotte Hicks; Secretary-Treasurer, Jo Ann Sweet. In our sophomore year we buckled down to work, and since we were getting into the swing of things, we began taking an active part in pep rallies, football, basketball, dances and other things which are an active part of school life. This year three new clubs were organized: the Beta Club, F. H. A. Club and D. E. Club. We also had a play this year in which we introduced to the school our very famous “Atomic Power Mousetraps.” We elected Jo Ann Sweet as President; Eddie Myrtle as Vice President, and Ray Quillen as Secretary-Treasurer. We look back to our junior year with pride. That year we were the “upperclassmen” of W. H. S. That year we had a lot of jobs ahead of us, including a play to raise money for the Junior- Senior Prom and then giving the prom, which was a huge success. We elected Eddie Myrtle, Presi¬ dent; Fred Moyer, Vice President; Jimmy Hagwood, Treasurer, and Malcolm Wade, Secretary. This year—one of the best years of our lives—had arrived—we were Seniors! We had an awful lot of work ahead of us, but we enjoyed every minute of it. Our sports participation this year reached a higher peak than in previous years. We sponsored one of the biggest hits in the history of Waynesboro when we presented “The Varieties of 1950.” We made over $900 which we used for our senior class trip. The memories of the trip and of our senior year will forever be with us. It’s hard to leave W. H. S. after four years of good, hard work and the fun we had with the teachers and students. Truly this has been one of the most exciting and unforgettable years of our lives. With tears in our eyes, but with proudness ringing in our hearts, we bid farewell to dear old Waynesboro High School. 4 10
