As we look back on it now, it was really a soft year. The boys made paper airplanes and the girls giggled. We all survived our first year and went back as second graders. We gained Betty Cleckner and Stephen Kurtz. Mrs. Goranflo was our third grade teacher and helped us stage a very successful play, Hiawatha. This was the social event of the year. We gained Simon Jones, Glenn i Jones, Jim Landrith, Clara Ealey, and Jackie Stimpson. As fourth graders we gained Jane Hull, Lewis Reed, Charles Benson, Gale Perclval, Lois Zook and Madeline Fritsch. This was the year when Warren Bosley was taller than Sam Silvertooth and how well we can remember It! During our fifth year we gained Johnny James, Rose Marie Coury, Janetta Zook, Judith Urban, and Delores Mendoza. A bunch of the older students started to write love notes until things began to get too serious. In the sixth grade our class totaled 42. We gained Dale Beshires, Willetha Fletcher, and Jane Snyder. This was the year that the boys were flipping coins to see who would be the brave one to go after the bubble gum at the filling station. During die seventh grade Mr. Odgen and Mr. Walker were our sponsors. This was a gay year for us because at last we were in Junior High School. This year we gained Thome Romeo Stallings, and Nancy Cook. We shall all remember this year quite vividly because this was the year that we had our first hayrack ride to Cottonwood, at night. In the eighth grade we gained David Barnhill. And too, we must not forget Board Psychology Deaton. Now we were rulers of the Junior High School. In the ninth grade we gained Carolyn Rawson, Bette Boland, Kenneth Johnson, and Ted Harmon. Our ninth grade was like a story with a surprise ending. The surprise was that we were all promoted to high school. Our sponsors were Mrs. Veley and Mr. Lash. In May 1954, we had both our Freshman and Ninth Grade Promotion. It is now time to enter the great Senior High School. As we walk through the halls we are reminded that it is time for the sophomore initiation. The boys caught both barrels, unofficially, this year. But when we look at it. it was a lot of fun. This year we gained Jane Snyder, and Dale Beshires. Our junior year we elected Mrs. Briggs and Mr. Treece for our sponsors. We were busy the whole year preparing for the Junior Play and Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The name of the play was Deadly Ernest and for the banquet we had a Hawaiian theme. This year we gained Wanda and Donna Smith. It is now time to become the kings and queens of our school system. We have taken the throne with great pride. Many of us are planning ahead. Some are thinking of jobs, others of marriage, and still others of the further education. Our Senior Day at Alva was held on March 29, 1957. For our senior play we selected a comedy. Once again the biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. This was the going away present to us seniors from the Juniors. Our Baccalaureate is to be held May 19.
