Junior Class Officers President Vice President Secretary T reasurer Historian Assistant Sponsor Co-sponsor David White James Tritchler Frankie Lee Tennant -Jack Wise Marion Phillips. Jr. Sue Ammons A. R. Bryant Ella Lambert Colors Blue and White Flower Red Rose Motto— With the Ropes of the Past. Let Us Ring the Bells in the Future History As the old saying goes, we feel like a million without the dollars. This, of course, is the Junior Class of '51 who has left its mark on history throughout its years at Clay-Battelle. Our class first assembled at Ciay-Battelle in the year of 1946 with 38 members from Pentress. Bula. Blacksville. and Democrat elementary schools under the sponsorship of iMr. John C. Clovis. In 1947 we again reassembled in room 20 and discovered we had lost four members of our group. However, we finished the eighth grade with the best of spirit and left a good record behind us. As freshmen we received members from Core and from Brave. Pennsylvania which lifted our membership to a grand total of 4 I. Our class officers were President. Barbara Ammons, vice-president. [David White, and secretary and treasurer. Frankie Lee Tennant. At the beginning of school in 1949 our number increased to 69. as new members from Wadestown and Day brook Junior High Schools were added to our class. We were then divided into two homerooms with Mr. Clovis, as sponsor, and Mr. Bryant, as co-sponsor. Our sophomore year proved to be one of importance. David White and Charles Whitehill were chosen president and vice-president of the Student Council In the line of sports the sophomore boys proved successful by taking the class basketball tournament. Sue Ammons was elected as Chapter Sweetheart of FT.A Our class was well represented in the F.F.A. F.H.A.. Band. Glee Club. Thespians, and Football. As sophomores we chose our class colors which are blue and white and our class flower, the red rose. This year. 1950-51 saw the ll-A homeroom moved to room 29 and a new sponsor. Mrs. Vir ginia Bunner. who replaced Mr. John Clovis, our past sponsor, a reserve officer of the Navy w'ho is an inspector-instructor and officer in charge of the Naval Reserve Training Center at Wichita Falls. Texas. Our class is the largest class in school with 61 members. Class officers are President. David White: vice-president. James Tritchler; secretary. Frankie Lee Tennant, and treasurer. Jack Wise. A few of the highlights of this year were receiving the class rings December 5 and sponsoring the Junior Carnival October 31. Some of the main features of the Carnival were The Star-Light Cafe. Pie Contest for the best pie baker (Jane Williams), and our princess. Mary Belle Dean, was crowned as Miss Clay-Battelle of 1950. Later at the F.F.A. banquet Jean Berry was chosen as the Chapter Sweetheart of 1951. The presentation of the Junior play. Goodnight. Ladies.' a three-act comedy, directed by Mrs. Lambert, who replaced Mrs. Bunner who w'as granted a leave of absence this year, was another big event for us. The Juniors are planning for the Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom which is to be held May 23 Having accomplished these things we are now’ looking forward to a bigger and belter 1952 With the help of Mr Bryant and Mrs. Lambert we will do our utmost in keeping our motto. With the ropes of the past, let us ring the bells of the future. Sue Ammons Marion Phillips. Jr. Frankie Lee Tennant 1952 twenty-three
