4 S NIOR Bud Knight, Betty Gallagher Cliiford Crinc In 1946 wc started out as 39 very green freshmen under the guidance of Miss Rhea. That year we selected our motto, flower, and banner which was designed by Dale McElhattan. NVQ- were represented by eleven members in the band, seven in the chorus, and three on the jayvec basketball team. Our play, the Hrst that We presented in high school, was a comedy entitled 'gVVildcat Willie Gets Brain Fevcrf' It was a lmge success. When the school bell called us together again in September 1948, the sophomores numbered 34. That year we had a new class advisor, Mr. Ferguson. During the year we increased to 16 members in the band and nine in the chorus. Once again we showed our ability as actors and actresses when we presented a hilarious hillbilly comedy, Comm, Round the Mountainf, The biggest event of the year was the selection of our class rings. Our junior year was the most exciting year of our high school career. Although we lost live members, We gained two new ones to keep our number at 29. XVe were very fortunate in this eventful year to have Miss Crisman as our class advisor. Raising money for the Prom was our chief aim.. We sold Christmas cards, bas- ketball pins, held cake walks, and sponsored a movie. The play that year, The Little Red Schoolhousef' was presented twice. We first gave it for assembly where it was received with much enthusiasmg later, we pre- sented it at a combined meeting of the junior and Senior Civic Clubs. Although the Prom was held on Friday the 13th, it turned out to be the most important social event ofthe school year. The decorations carried out the ll16l11C of the '49ers. An experiment was tried whereby the grade-school pupils viewed the product of our imagin- ations at the close of the school day. This, the last year of Otll' high school career, found us with 27 members and still under the able direction of Crissic.U The chance of initiating thc freshmen was indeed a treat. That evening at the Freshmen Recep- tion we tried to prove to them that upper classmen aren't really such ubadi' people. In preparation for grad- uation We ordered our name cards, announcements, and conuuencement folders. NVQ- were represented on the Varsity team by Dale McElhattan and NValter Fye. The managers were also members of the Senior Class- Clillord C-rine and Barry Hall. Betty Gallagher was our peppy cheerleader, who succeeded in getting loud yells from everyone. NVe were still very well represented in band and chorus and on the yearbook staff-most of the editors being seniors. We worked hardest on producing our Senior Class Play, a mystery called mfhe Scarlet Shadowf, which was directed Aby our own class advisor, Miss Crisman. For our skip day the class planned a three-dav trip to Yvashington, D. C.-an excursion which we enjoyed very umeh. As we looked back over our school years-at the good days and the had ones, and remembered the work we had done and the fun wc had had-we felt a little PRIHQI, of SildU6SS5 blit ill Ulll' li0i11'tS lllld llliUdS WC WWC 1'f.'ady to gain more knowledge and experience that would train us for our positions as the leaders in the world of tomorrow, THE WHITE MEMO - 10
