HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS CLASS OF {951 September ‘47! Thirty-four half-frightened but happy Freshmen were stepping upon the ninth rung of the Woodleaf School Ladder of Education. During the year we became adjusted to high school life, and studied very hard all year. Our advisor was Miss Lois Safley. Twenty-six of us returned the next year to further our education as Sopho- mores, with Mrs. Geneva Harrill as our advisor. During the year Ann Fisher joined our group making our number twenty-seven. After two years of hard studying, twenty-six of us were awarded the title of Juniors. Of this number three were new students, Barbara Swaim, Martha Parker, and Douglas Burgess. Our class officers were Peggy McDaniel, President; Dan Adams, Vice-President; Frances Foster, Secretary; Nancy Lyerly, Treasurer; and Charles Kluttz, Reporter. During the year six of the Junior Class were chosen to be members of the Beta Club: Betty Ratledge, Barbara Swaim, Peggy McDaniel, Ann Adams, Douglas Burgess, and Charles Kluttz. Our work during the year included a magazine drive, Junior Play, and the Junior-Senior Banquet, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed with the help of Miss Jeanette Current, our advisor. At last -- September 1950 -- and we had climbed to the last rung of the Woodleaf School Ladder of Education. We were twenty dignified Seniors, as we supposed, who were fortunate to have Mrs. David Chambers as our advisor. Our class officers were Douglas Burgess, President; Peggy McDaniel, Vice- President; Dolores Lyerly, Secretary; Nancy Lyerly, Treasurer; and Barbara Swaim, Reporter. The big events during the year were the Halloween Carnival, with Douglas Burgess as Editor, receiving ” planning and preparing the ‘‘Acorn, class rings, producing the Senior Play, and attending the Junior-Senior Banquet. Thus -- rung by rung -- with a steadfastness of purpose, with work and play, we have climbed to the top of our ladder, As we pause here, happy at the thought of our achievements, sad at the thought of farewell, we look to the future - and are hopeful at the thought of climbing the higher ladder of Life. This is not the end; just the beginning. Charles Kluttz Historian
