The 1954 Fort is not an exception to this precedent. The recipe for a fine yearbook include a portion of know how. some cooperation, and a generous measure of hard work. Mr. j nion and our staff have these ingredients mixed together and we are certain to e JO ?elffgth ful word and pictorial story of the 1953-54 school year when the mixture comes off the press. I am sincerely grateful for Mr. Lemond and our staff. . o„hnn] u ic. I treasure my copies of The Fort and I love being a part of the Alamo School. It is great to be a member of a team such as the Alamo student and staff aggregation which. I believe, has the same courage and vision as our namesake David Crockett, when he so gallantly defended the cause in which he believed at The Fort Alamo. T. H. STRANGE MR. T. H.

Class M We, the senior closs of 1953-54, opprooch the day of graduation which is one of the most inv portant rungs on the ladder to success, the gool which we all destr to achieve We would like to review the lost four years of our school life. Whether or not we continue the trip up this ladder is left up to us, but we are oil proud to say that we hove made it this far. From the moment we entered as freshmen we hove met with difficult ond trying situations, which we hope hove made us wiser and better Kathryn Knight; Student Council, Cleatus Cagle. Four of our class mode the Beta Club ond two ottended the Beto Convention at Nashville. An exciting event was the selection of our class rings. We sold magazines to raise money for the Junior Senior Banquet which had as its theme, Football.'' Two of our members were cheerleaders. They were: Mary E. Cross- noe and Ruth Williams. Carolyn O. Ellington was chosen second maid in the beauty revue. Mary Nell Turner was editor of the school paper, RED AND WHITE BANNER ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ prepared to face the future. We hove also experienced many good times which none of us will ever forget Upon beginning our freshmon year we were all thrilled at the thought of being high school students. To our dismoy we learned that freshmen didn't get much recognition. We elected our officers this year: President, Sammy Ronk; Vice President, Jule Nance. Secretary, Nancy Hart; Treasurer, Mary Frances Cloar; Reporter, Bobby Gabo This year was not too eventful, but we lived up to our name as Green Freshmen. The election of our Sophomore year resulted as fol- lows: President, Cleaius Cogle; Vice President, Dwayne Curtis; Secretary, Kathryn Knight; Treasurer, Janell la- man; Reporter, Roe Nell Hughes Seven boys made the basketball team this year. They were. Roe Nell Hughes, Sammy Ronk, Jimmy Cates, Dwayne Curtis, Cleatus Cogle, Jule Nance, ond George Colemon This year Alamo hod the only boys' team in Crockett County to win more games than they lost. Four of our girls mode the basketball team. They were: Mary June Tracy, Peggy Cates, Ruth Williams, and Mary Elizabeth Crossnoe. The team won 12 gomes and lost 8. We were also well represented in baseball, soft boll, F.H.A.. F F A , student council, glee club, paper staff, and the band. We began our junior year os o jolly group. One of our members did not come bock because of marriage and during the course of the year we lost onother one. We elected os officers: President. Charles Pigue; Vice-presi dent, Jimmy Kee, Secretory, Dwayne Curtis; Reporter, We departed in high spirits, looking forward to our fourth and final year. At lost the long wished for day come when we en- rolled as Seniors. For this, our final year, our officers were: President, James Cheatham; Vice-President, Cleotus Cagle, Secretary, Kathryn Knight; Treasurer, Mary June Tracy; Reporter, Harold Robbins. One of the highlights of this year was having our Senior pictures made. The camera was badly damaged but not broken, we hope Roe Nell Hughes and Jimmy Cates were Co-Captains of the basketball teom. Mary June Trocy was captain of the girls' team. Cleatus Cogle and Jimmy Cates were Co-Captains of the football team We were proud of the fact that Cleatus won a football scholarship to the University of Tennessee ot Knoxville which entitled him to four years of college with all expenses paid. Mary E. ond Ruth were re-elected cheerleaders. We again attended the Junior-Senior Banquet; This time it was given in our honor. We presented the Senior play and class night, and, of course, we must not forget commencement. And now we arrive at our destination. Gradu- ation, which in some ways is a happy event but j | r. also o sod one because we must leave our friends ond our Almo Mater which meont so much to us.

Their next door neighbors are Sara Webb and her husband Billy Fewell. These are the only ones that are married now, but they say Bobby Gaba plans a winter wedding.

Led by the co-captains, Cleatus Cagle and Jimmy Cates, The Alamo Red Devils had a very outstanding record for the 1953 season. Beginning the season with a 39 to 6 victory over Adamsville, they suffered only 2 defeats compared with 2 ties and 5 games won. Since this was only the third year for football in Alamo High, everyone was especially proud of the devils' record. We were spurred on to achieve this fine record by coaches Souder and Black. Our managers for the year were Byron Privett and Bobby Curtis. It was a new era in football for Alamo High because of the new lights. We wish to ex- press our appreciation to the friends who made it possible to have these lights. Large crowds attended every game. Seniors who will be leaving the team this year are: Cleatus Cagle, Jimmy Cates, James Cheatham, Jule Nance, Bobby Gaba, Roe Nell Hughes, Sammy Ronk, and Dewayne Curtis. The following lettermen to return are: Jacky Terry, Larry Edwards, Jerry Raines. Stanley Raines, Bobby Slayton, Wayne Parlow, Benny Parlow, Jerry Pittman, Bob Davis, Jimmy Nichols, Jimmy Mansfield, and Robert Nance. Best of luck to next year's team!
