BS = It was in the year nineteen hundred forty-eight that a group of forty- eight boys and girls entered into their high school life with Mr. Charles L. Younce and Mr. John T, King as advisers, The only excitement taking place during the year was the initiation of the freshmen into the F.F.A. Giles eval IF otal. AN. Clu). The next year only forty students entered and this year we had as our advisors Miss Gladys Craven and Miss Mary K. Williams now Mrs. Phil Sloop. This part of our high school life ended with a trip to Mirror Lake where we had a wiener roast. Then our Junior Year approached with twenty-five pupils enrolled. We had as our Junior Advisor, Mrs. S. H. Price and all of us knew what our task of nineteen-hundred-fifty-one was--the Junior-Senior Prom. After work had been started on this big project our advisor, Mrs. Price, was unable to be with us for the remainder of the year. Then Mrs. Johnson came to our rescue by taking up where Mrs. Price left off. We are very thankful to them for helping to make our Junior-Senior Prom a successful one. Eleven of the Juniors were accepted as members of the Beta Club. Even though our class had a misfortune during the year, it was finally brought to a very successful close. Then we became the ‘‘dignified seniors’’ with Miss Ina Stevenson as our adviser. This year our class had twenty-nine students enrolled. The class elected Phyllis Graham as president. Then the annual staff was elected. About two and one half weeks after school had begun we received our rings. Our high-school life has been a very successful and happy one. We, the seniors, of fifty-two hope that the underclassmen will have as happy and successful high-school-life as we have had. With this we must say ‘ Goodby”’. Rachel Webb Class Historian
