We dedicate our first annual to
our principal, William W. Reade.
Through his efforts and inspiration, he has helped us to develop
our character and to accept the
responsibilities of adulthood. He
has continually shown patience
and understanding in the development and growth of our school
--Colonial Heights High.
IV e Dedicate Omnifius ’61 <5o
. . . Mr. Reade and Mrs. Grubbs, to whom we express our appreciation for the guidance given our class.
We also dedicate our annual to
our sponsor, Mrs. Maxine Grubbs.
Through her help in both our junior and senior years we have ac
quired the desire and the ability
to work together as a class and
not as individuals. Her encouragement has helped us to gain a
sense of responsibility toward
our school, community, and fellow students.

“Our Principal Speaks”
Congratulations to the Class of 1961. This excellent yearbook is another milestone in the history of Colonial Heights High School. It is concrete evidence of your ability to achieve the goal you set five years ago, and it illustrates what can be accomplished when students and faculty members work together.
This is a volume that you will treasure for many years, and in the distant future, it will bring you many happy memories of your school days when you
glimpse the pictures of the many friends you had among both students and faculty. May your ability to accomplish the goal you have set continue when you go out into the world.
My sincere wishes for your success and happiness go with you.

Senior Class History
When the present Senior Class started school, the
majority of us began together. Thirty-seven members
of the original class have remained together since the
first grade; through the years, some members have been
transferred to this school. There are now eighty-seven
members of the first graduating class at Colonial Heights
High School.

Senior Cuss
The teachers who began these pupils on their school careers were Miss Jean Pritchet, who is now Mrs. Jean Williams; Miss Joy Dishman, who is now Mrs. Joy John son; and Mrs. Ethel McGhee. Our first principal was Miss Flora M. Hill, whom we will always remember.

We spent five memorable years at what is now Flora M. Hill Elementary School. In the sixth grade we became members of the student body of what was then the new Colonial Heights Elementary School, which was destined to become our beloved Colonial Heights High School. At that time our principal was Mr. W. W. Reade, and our assistant principal was Mr. M. P. Alley. Now we have the same principal, but we have a new assistant principal, Mr. J. D. Smith.

The first year our class was in this school, there was a large group above us; however, fate stepped in and some members of this group went to Petersburg High School, whereas other members went to Thomas Dale High School. Thus we became the group that eventually would be the first graduating class.

At first many of us were resentful because we were not allowed to attend Petersburg or Thomas Dale High Schools. Attending one of these schools was to us a sign of growing-up, and being sixth graders we were very anxious to be considered mature. At the time we did not realize what a wonderful opportunity had been given to us. Since we were the highest class, we were the first in every thing; we have set tne goals and standards for this school.
24
Senior Class
Finally we began to accept the fact that we would all go to Colonial Heights High School until graduation, and we began to work to make our school one of which we can be proud. As we began to work and to mature, changes were made. We began to change classes for the first time, to have athletic events, to have a band, and to have dances and parties at school. But more important than all of these things, we began to realize how lucky we were to be members of the first graduating class at Colonial Heights High School.

Senior Class
Through the years the first graduating class has experienced many memorable events. Being the highest class all the way through school, we have been the first in everything; and we have paved the way for other potential seniors. Being the first in everything has been a unique experience; it has been fun—but it has required much co-operation and organization.

In the spring during our sophomore year, we made a very important decision and asked Mrs. Maxine Grubbs to become our sponsor; and--to our good fortune--she accepted. She, surely, has been the inspiration of our class, and has helped us in every possible way. We then began to organize ana to elect our class officers. They were: Doris Marie Smith, president; Ben Bunker, vice-president; Charlotte Stoss, secretary; Iva Lee Crocker, treasurer; and Martha Ann Tench, Mary Ann Davis, and Charles Carter were elected members of the executive board. These people served as the governing body of our class until the spring of our junior year.
During our junior year we passed many important milestones: we selected our class rings; started our yearbook, Omnibus '61; started the "Miss Colonial Heights Pageant"; had our first ring dance—and many other things.

Now at last after years of work we have reached our senior year, and we still have Mrs. Maxine Grubbs as our sponsor. Our class officers are: Carol Bryant, president; Jimmy Spicer, vice president; Janet Lancaster, secretary; Iva Lee Crocker, treasurer; with Judy Clark, Ben Bunker, June Tomlin, and Ernie Oz more as members of the executive board.

As our class has grown, so has our school. We now have teams in all high school sports, various clubs to meet the interests of all, a great band, spirited cheerleaders and majorettes, and many other important accomplishments all of which the present Senior Class has helped to organize. But more important than all of these things, we have a good education which will help to make us the kind of people our school will be proud to have as their alumni.

Thus we, the first graduating class at Colonial Heights High School, have led the way in every area. We have worked hard, and we have much to show for our efforts. We have left behind to our school a tradition for all the classes coming after us to live up to and follow. We leave with many treasured experiences and high goals for our future.
