1951 Let the Adventure Begin! Waiting to leave on the class trip to Washington, DC is Joanne Thompson, Nancy Antrim, Cuba Mathews, and Janet Rees. This photo was taken at the old high school downtown on the corners of Walnut and Arch Streets behind the Methodist Church (which was on High St.) A new high school was opened on Smith St. where the current Yorktown Middle School is located (2020). As pointed out by Kay Ross Miller, you can see the Methodist Church in the background. Becky Sears Monroe gives the date of the church fire as 24 December 1950. Mary Brown Gustin says that she went the next year and that the class too the bus to Cincinnati where they caught a train to Washington, DC.
