jiglsfory The history of our school days begins in August of 1948 with fifteen of our present students enrolled in Berry Elementary School First Grade. They were: Don Olive, Jackie Key, june Cannon, George Traweek, M. C. Bonner, Wanda Brown, Dorothy Pendley, Doyle Baker, Hilda Sawyer, Charlene Knight, Anna Kimbrell, Roy Wayne Espey, Wallis Hocutt, Patsy Simmons Pendley, Jerry Doughty. It was only a short time, it seemed, until our grammar school days were over and we entered into high school in 1954. Then at last we became dignified Seniors. Most of the club offices are held by seniors. We have had one Homecoming QueenhHilda Sawyer. We have some outstanding football and basketball players in our class. Joe Tyner and George Traweek were co-captains of the football team this year and Joe was voted most valuable player. The cheerleaders from our class are Linda McCaleb and june Cannon and Linda was chosen head cheerleader for the year. We have a record number of Beta Club members in our class. These B plus stu- dents are Wallis Hocutt, George Traweek, joe Tyner, Don Olive, john Shrum, Miriam Smith, June Cannon, Patsy Pendley, Doris Esary, Dorothy Pendley, Serdia Fulmer, Linda McCaleb. At the time of this writing, we have not yet produced the Senior Play but books have been ordered for a 3 act comedy entitled 'lOff the Tracki' and it will be staged in March. With kind help and strong guidance, our beloved class sponsor, Mrs. Dixie Brock, has made the last milestone in our school years the most wonderful experience of our lives. And without the help, advice, and patience with our many problems which our prin- cipal, Mr. Fred Webster, has given us, we would have missed much of what it means to be a senior. In behalf of our senior class, I would like to say a sincere thanks to each teacher, parent, friend, and fellow student for their cooperation and help in making our school life a most memorable one. We will never forget you. We will always remember Berry High School. Linda McCaleb, Hirlorimz.
