Running down the halls try- ing to find the right room, fifty-four freshmen begin their long-waited for and somewhat fearful high school career on September 2, 1946. After we had been tossed from one grade to another in grade school we all began working for one goal—to hurry and get out of this “place.” We had literally grown up over night”, we weren’t little kids any more. At last after eight long years we were freshmen. Those on the freshmen roll were: Vera Mae Stevens, LaVaughn Lak- ey, Wanda Fay McKenna, Florence Mast, Oleta Miller, LaVaun Nicholson, Dixie Lee Pierce, Beatrice Ramirez, Mar- garet Silvertooth, Berna Dean Seaman, Darlene Taylor, Dean Bolar, Carl Carberry, Eddie Joe Dexter, Max Ferguson, Billy Fritsch, Pat Fuson, Earl Gam- ble, Clyde Hill, Curtis Hoover, Casey Jones, Sammy Kysar, Darrell Lane, Jack Litzell, Charles McNally, Billy Mar- tin, Bob Morgan, Billy Murray, Bill O’Connor, Karol Pierce, Tad Thornhill, Kenneth Zook, Virginia Armour, Nona Arn- old, Patsy Bay, Ann Callaway, Patsy Brown, Dorothy Crusin- WHS WHS W CLASS HISTORY Passing The First Mi berry, Frances Darnell, Erpal Dean Davidson, Dorothy Dupy, Opal Ealey, Eva Jean Ellis, Colleen Fiscus, Jessie Franco, Aileen Gunning, Joan Harmon, Jean Keffer, Ella Mae Krob, Joyce Milledge, Carl Dodd and LaVina Milledge. The first week of our fresh- man career was one we’ll nev- er forget. We were a horrid sight, the girls running around with their hair pulled up through tin cans and wearing tow sacks. Best of all though were the boys who shook every time a belt whizzed through the air; of course there were a few brave ones that took the punishment like green freshmen should. During the year we also gave our first high school play “Billy’s First Date.” Our sponsors this year were Miss Joachims, and Mr. Flet- cher. After nine hard months of work and three months vaca- tion we entered classes again as big sophomores. We could set back and laugh this year, IS WHS WHS W lestone We were gradually becoming upper classmen. As the roll was taken we found we had lost: Joyce Mil- ledge, Curtis Hoover, LaVina Milledge, Carl Dodd, Erpal Dean Davidson, and Jessie Franco. t , The new classmates we gain- ed were; Derrell Benson, Doyle Bay, J. D. Sprague, John L. Sullivan, Rozclla Curtis and Elizabeth Bauler. A new thing was added to our school this year, Miss Clapper organized the boys glee club and choir. They all took part and seemed to en- joy it. To the most of us there was one class that was really ex- citing. It was in Mr. Dearing’s Biology class. He was actually teaching us how to look through the miscroscope and to cut the head off of a mosquito. Golly, but the class was proud of Charles McNally when he cut two heads off in one day. Our sponsors this year were Mrs. Briggs and Mr. Dale May- nard. HS WHS WHS W Well it’s May and school is out again. Just think next year we’ll be Juniors. 1948 and now we’re just one step from our goal. Our Jun- ior year was no different to us than it had been for the Junior’s ahead of us. It was our busiest year. This was the year we studied jokes the night before instead of American history so we could trade them with Mr. Turvey the next day. But we’ll have to admit he was a good history teacher. In March we presented our annual Junior play. After so much griping and hard work we finally presented “Strictly Confidential.” It was very suc- cessful. Early in the spring we were as busy as little beavers. For the most part we were run- ning up and down the I.O.O.F. Hall stairs trying to get things ready for our banquet. The rest of the time we were all trying to think of something that should be done during class hours. We hammered and painted and finally it was completed.
