CONTRAST THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT James Ray Willams, one of the outstanding boys of the Senior Class, is nineteen years old. He is three feet, seven and one-half inches tall and weighs only fifty-eight pounds. Even though James is small in size, he is of great importance. He has been a great help to his class during these four years. His average grade for the four years is ninety-three and three-sevenths. Homer Spain, who is so highly praised for his basketball playing, is a member of the Junior Class. Homer is eighteen years old, six feet and three inches tall, and weighs 180 pounds. Not only is Homer an all-star basketball player, but one of our best sportsmen in all kinds of games. COMPARISONS ALINE AND CHARLINE BURGESS ALINE AND MAUREEN ROBERTS 7 PAGE THIRTY-ONE

— JUNIORS — As we knew the responsibilities of this year would be greater, we began by electing capable officers: Lara Johnson, President; James E. Davis, Vice-President; and Mildred Eskew for the combined offices of Secretary and Treasurer. We wee kept busy during our ball games by selling hamburgers, cold drinks, sandwiches, etc., in order to finance the forthcoming Junior-Senior banquet. The jolly Juniors took a more active interest in sports as was evidenced by the organization of a volley ball team. Though our constant rivals, the Sophomores, usually won, we gave them some hot competition. Our studies were slowed up by the absence of our Principal, Miss Margaret Rollins, who returned with a romantic glow and wishing to be called Mrs. Charles Moyer, because she had been married during her absence. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. McKinney, we began planning the details of our banquet. The theme of decoration was hearts since it was held on Valentine's Night, February the fourteenth. This year was climaxed by the trip of the Juniors and Seniors to Reelfoot Lake on a chilly day in April. After viewing the scenery around the lake and enjoying the fishing and boatriding, we lunched in Tiptonville, then motored on to the Mis- sissippi River. Enroute home, we stopped at the Union City Airport and ended up a most enjoyable day by seeing a Dorothy Lamour picture in Huntingdon. This ended our jolly year as Juniors. — SENIORS — Our ever-changing Faculty changed again this year when Mrs. Moyer, Mr. and Mrs. Grissom left to be replaced by Professor Beers and Mr. Forbess. Mrs. Mc- Kinney kept her place as our competent Home Economics and Chemistry teacher. At the first of the year we elected our officers: Jerry Birdwell, President; James E. Davis, Vice-President; Marilyn Crider, Secretary; Dorothy Taylor, Treasurer; and Thomas Gant, Sergeant-at-Arms. Our new Principal has worked diligently and has proved to us that he has our best interests at heart. He has participated in the boys’ activities and won their confidence, though his sportsmanship was tested when they nick-named him “Curly.” i The Clarksburg basketball squad will be unfortunate in losing four of their players, who are members of the Senior Class and will graduate this year namely: James E. Davis, Mary Hedge, Mildred Smith, and James Scott. The Annual Committee has been busy the last of this year in working on THE REBEL and have thus far been successful since they had the full cooperation of the remaining Seniors and the teachers. The honor of being Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Senior Class went to two of our most outstanding classmates, Marilyn Crider and Lara Johnson, respectively. We aré looking forward to the Junior-Senior banquet and Commencement Week. Yhough we, the Senior Class, have walked together to win our diplomas, we realize that we are only starting on Life’s Road and will encounter many trials and hardships on the way but we will always remember, with pleasure, our school days at Clarksburg High. —Dorothy Taylor and Eloise Rushing.
