Senior Hass History FRESHMAN YEAR After all of our years in grammar school, we have at last reached the most interesting and exciting part of school life, Freshmen at Wicomico High. In room 25, there were only boys. It became known as the Bachelor Club and all of the boys were very proud of the title. Our most interesting class was science. We were fascinated by the experiments we saw in the Lab. We did not have many interests as Freshies but some of us did take part in May Day and Field Day. SOPHOMORE YEAR Back to school as Simple Sophomores . Girls and boys were placed together this year in Homerooms 24 and 25. Many transfers came to our class and in this way it was greatly enlarged. Our interest began to widen also. We took part in varsity and intra¬ mural sports, Ensemble, Press Club, Wi-Hi News Staff, and a musical, The Spirit of ' 47 ' ' , under the capable direction of Mr. Granville Eagler. All summer we looked forward with anticipation to the coming year when we would be luniors. JUNIOR YEAR This year the first thing we decided to do was elect our class officers. They were Bill Malone, President; Lacy Austin, Vice President; Virginia Christian, Treasurer; Norma Elliott, Secretary. We then started to work on the class play. There were many of us who tried out for it and after many weeks of practice came our play, Sneak Date . It was very successful and our thanks go to Miss Farlow and Miss Stewart for their help in making it possible. The Junior-Senior Banquet required much of our time after the play. We had fun decorating the cafeteria and getting ready for the big night. Everyone had a good time. We began to wonder what the next year would have in store for us. SENIOR YEAR Seniors at last. This year was by far the most wonderful year. We were all busy with one thing or another. Getting the newspaper out every two weeks was quite a dif¬ ficult job for our editor, Nancy Richardson. Work on the Yearbook required the efforts of all the Seniors and there was the Student Council which took much of our time also. Other activities were Press Club, Dramatic Club, and Key Club. Some of us were in the operetta H. M. S. Pinafore . Athletics, in which we were all interested, were under the direction of Miss Mary Morling Troy, Mr. Charles Berry, and Mr. Sam Siedel. Our class officers were Bill Kniceley, President; Lloyd Harrington, Vice-President; Norma Elliott, Secretary; Rodney Johnson, Treasurer; Betty Calcott, Historian. This was the year we had all looked forward to. Senior Prom, Junior-Senior Banquet, Senior Class Play and May Day. Now we regret¬ fully leave Wi-Hi with our memories and our thanks to the faculty and principal who have made our days here so pleasant. Sixteen Historian, Betty Calcott
