CLASS POEM Trust of men, hopefully climbing, Upwards, upwards, toward the sun, Never ceasing, but always trying, Not finished, lust begun. Who, still toiling, fore'er striving, To reach the ladder's topmost rung, Which, upon reaching, strive harder yet, saying Not finished, Iust begun. 'Working together, acting together, With more in mind than just mere fun, With this one thought, shared equally by all, Not finished, lust begun. Leaving these halls of instruction, Glad-hearted that We have made our run, Yet With serious thoughts of future Work, Not finished, Iust begun. VIRGIL BLAKE, Poet MOTTO Not finished: just begun. riowizra ' cLAss coioas Red Carnation Red and White

History Of The Class Cf '49 To tell fully the history of the class of '49 would involve a huge undertaking-yes, even the Writing of volumes. But I only Wish to pass on to you the highlights of the many events of our group. ln l945, an excited and happy group of forty-three boys and girls entered Woodleaf High School, realizing an ambi- tion cherished throughout our elementary school days. At last we were Freshmen! We soon learned the new Ways of high school life, and worked steadily from this first rung of our Education ladder toward our Sophomore year. Climbing the second rung we found our group had de- creased to thirty-three. Mrs. Dave Graham was our generous and kind sponsor for the Freshman and Sophomore years. Events happened fast, and soon before We could realize it, the year sped by and the third rung, our lunior year, was reached. This was one of our most eventful years, although our group had decreased to eighteen. We shall never forget the selling of magazines, and the lunior play. The lunior-Senior banquet was the highlight of this year. Miss Current was our sponsor. Finally the day of days arrived and our ambition cher- ished throughout our high school days was realized. We were Seniors! Although only fourteen of us reached this top rung on the Education ladder, we were determined to make this our best year. We were very fortunate to have Mrs. David Chambers as our sponsor. She was kind and always ready to lend a help- ing hand in any Way she could. We Wish to thank our prin- cipal, Mr. C. W. Harrill, each member of the faculty and each pupil who has helped make our High School days pleasant and worth while. Thus from the bottom of the ladder of Education, We have achieved the highest point offered in our high school, but We trust that We shall follow our motto- Not finished, just begun.
