Following is a class history of
the Glass of Promise:
In April 1851, Lincoln Sunday
School decided to start class for
young married couples.
We had different teachers until
Mrs. Matte Greenly agreed to ac-
cept the task in July of that year
as our regular teacher. Douglas
Morgan was our assistant teacher.
Two, that l remember teaching
our class before Mrs. Greenly ac-
cepted, were George Macklin and
Mrs. Bertha Carey of Milford.
Our first class meeting was held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Clendaniel on April 25, 1851.
At this meeting the class was or
ganized and the following officers
were elected: President, Ralph
Hunt; vice president, Harvey
Shockley; secretary, Eleanor DON
ovan; treasurer, Pearl Wilkins.
At our next meeting the Glass of
Promise was selected as our class
name. Song, "Sweeter Than the
Day Before" motto: I'VE Are
Able"
In 1851, 1852 and 1863 we held
minstrels and turkey suppers to
enrich our treasury.
The officers for 1852 were: Pres
ident, Lillian LeCompte; vice pres
ident, Kaye Clendaniel; secretary,
Robert Spence; treasurer, Peggy
Spence.
During that year we dedicated
the choir robes to the church.
In 1853 the officers were: Pres
ident, Harvey Shockley; vice pres
ident, Logan LeCompte; secretary,
Laura Breneman; treasurer, Dor
othy Hunt.
We had a very successful Minis
trel this year under the direction
of Mr.. and Mrs. Myron Mezick. We
also gave toward the church and
repair fund, $225.00.
1854 officers were: President,
Dorothy Hunt; vice president,
Joan Shockley; secretary, Mickey
Fitzgerald; treasurer, Logan Le-
Compte.
At this time integration became
such a problem in our community
we discontinued our minstrel
shows.
Oficers elected in 1855 were as
follows: President, Kaye Clendan-
iel; vice president, Alice Jones
secretary, Joan Shockley; treasur-
er, Eleanor Donovan.
Officers in 1856 were: President,
Ralph Hunt; vice president, Rena
Morgan; treasurer, Eleanar DON
ovan.
This year we sold the birthday
calenders.
In 1857 the officers were: Presi-
dent, Bob Worden; vice president,
Marie Locates; secretary, Kaye
Clendaniel; treasurer, Eleanor
Donovan.
On Rally Day of this year we had
the Hammond Organ installed.
Officers in 1858 were: President,
Logan LeCompte; vice president,
Douglas Morgan; secretary, Joan
Morgan. treasurer, Bob Worden.
With the support of everyone in
the community we had a recital
which almost paid for the organ.
