CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1954 consuls of Jean Morris, President; Buddy Leake, Vice President; Betty Jo Blanchard, Secretary; Lallie Catchings, Treasurer; Thelma Smith and Lydia Leake, Reporters; Joan Anderson, Clarice Bonnette, John Lewis Brown, Mack Bunch, Jimmy Carter, Oliver Catchings, Ansie Jo Clark, William Davis, Robert Dooley, Berlin Morris, Sherry Scott, Virginia Wheeler, Frank Whittington and Wayne Whittington. We began our school career in 1942 in the old graded school building under Miss Annie Dooley. The highlights of our elementary grades were Miss Essie's long assignments, the multiplication tables under Miss Smith, Mrs. Lotta's struggle to teach us the thirteen colonies, and the conjugation of verbs under Miss Sarah. Sooner than even we ourselves realized or expected we graduated from the eighth grade. We were the first class to graduate from graded school in the new school building and to attend all four grades of high school there. Then as innocent, scared, but eager freshmen, we began our high school days. Due to the burning of Beech Stand School, we were happy to accept Lydia Leake and John Lewis Brown. Then under the leadership of Coach Philip Poole, our sponsor, we completed the first year. Our Sophomore year proved rather uneventful, except for our memories of the parties and dances arranged by Miss Speights, our sponsor for that year. The Junior year was full of work and worry. Berlin Morris and Robert Dooley joined us here. Oliver, by attending summer school, also joined our little group. This completed our number. We gave our first play, A Ready- Made Family” under the direction of Mrs. Nolan McCraine. It was a big success and made us very proud. We closed the year with our banquet and prom for the Seniors. The theme was “Stairway to The Stars. ” Now we are in the middle of the biggest year of all, the Senior year. We are working on our annual and looking forward to our play and Senior trip. Our sponsors for this year are Mrs. Nolan McCraine and Coach George Gonda. We are working hard so that our motto, God helps those who help themselves, might come true. SHERRY SCOTT and ANSIE JO CLARK
