SENIOR CLASS HISTORY After seven hard years of studying we finally worked our way into high school, the big department of the school. At last we could choose the subjects we wanted to take, During our freshman year we did only what we had to, as we were “big stuff.” Along with the other things we couldn’t get out of was giving the sophomores a party. The summer vacation soon was gone and we were back in school as sophomores, a step higher in our high school education. As the custom was, we were given a party by the freshman. Near the end of the year the big talk was about consolidating our former high schools, Fishersville, New Hope, Beverley Manor, and Stuarts Draft, into one big school at Wood- row Wilson General Hospital. Now what were we to do! Stop school, after all these years. No, we couldn’t do that. All we can do is to try to work our way through the last two years. September was here before we were ready for it and according to the letter we each had received from Mr. McChesney, juniors started to Wilson Memorial on September 12th, Almost 200 of us reported to the Social Center for instructions and to find out in whose home room we would be. After this we were taken on a tour of the school. Such cor- ridors! Why we would get lost and never get to our classes on time! After a couple of weeks at school, we began to like it, and by the end of October, we liked it better than our former schools, Our officers, Henry McCray, president; Rebecca Spitzer, vice president; Fred Shuey, secretary; Dwight Bowles; treasurer; and Marvin Fretwell, reporter, gave us good stu- dent leadership along with our fine faculty advisors. We had a number of socials during the year, the main one the dance we gave the seniors. Time marches on, and now we are seniors on the top step of the stepping stone of high school. Seniors; and still we feel the same as if we were freshman. We always thought that seniors felt like big shots. Anyway, all of us are proud to be a member of the gradu- ating class of Wilson Memorial High School. OFFICERS David Meyerhoffer President Freda Gay Paynter Vice-President Fred L.
