CLASS MOTTO n “Life is a picture: paint it well.” “LIFE’S BEGINNING” ■w Be still and listen—the last bell has rung, Echoes fade of the last song sung. Put away your cap and gown, Lay aside your new won crown. Go and seek for yourself a name. Do not rest on previous fame. The greatest men were once like you. They were young and life was new. Be still and listen—the last bell has rung. The door is open; Life’s begun. CLASS FLOWER White carnation CLASS COLORS Blue and white Leila Mae Hubble. 19 CLAYTONI AN - 47

Life is a Picture: Paint It Well Lewis (Carroll) and our friend, Roscoe Brown, Soon will be ministers of wide renown. In later years, of our High School queen we’ll sing, Roberta Rule, and Bill Billingsley (her king). Fern Williams and Rosa Mae Gill, we seldom saw apart. They were always nice people, even from the start. Edwin Moats and Bob Crackel, in tinkering found great fun. We always said that they had what it takes to make things run. In the history of the 1947 seniors in basketball. Bill Boor and Lindy Hosselton were part, though not all. Smiling Bonnie Coggan, we never will forget. When a child, she liked “math,” and so, she does yet. And Jo Ann Striegel got lots of letters, but, gee! She knew a boy who went over the sea. Please remember James (Jimmy) Nail, (and I’m sure you will). His big grins and practical jokes, the teachers remember still. If Alice Jean Phillips should ever a famous secretary be, You can credit it all to her work at old C. C. C. Call on Loretta Pettyjohn if you should need some aid. For, of friendly labor and hard work, she never was afraid. There were Lucille McKinney and Bernie Mitchell, each a true friend. Their giggles and 'heir laughter, we will remember to the end. Up in the air in ligh's on Broadway, his name should appear. You know tint Colmore Rinehart plays his clarinet as he did here. Pussell Stanley, as you should know, was a dude, But, since cowboys are gentlemen, he was never rude. Even our Dorothy Gardner was a sweet and simple soul. We were always glad to hear her answer to the roll. Patsy Joyce Hiser was a girl who was talented when she drew. When her pictures appeared in our paper, I guess we all knew. Also Bill Weaver, who had sailed the deep blue sea, And brought back merry tales to tell to such as we. If Truman Groves and Gene Hardy were here, I’m sure you’d know Why they were such good friends, and why we liked them so. Norman Moseley was a tired boy, wrho grew to be very tall. And he got up to come late to school, or he didn’t come at all. Thelma Fulk and Martha Turner were always sort of quiet, Never quarreling, never starting any kind of a riot. In the Senior Class of 1947, Jean Welker had a part. Her good friends. I’m sure, will never leave her heart. Then, Leone and Mildred Neff were sisters who loved to sew. And, by working very hard, theyTl earn a lot of “dough.” When Donna Bufkin wishes to wed, as you and I know, She can just look around and, “Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe.” Edwin Gibbs and Maitland Flexter are farmer-boys now, Pitchin’ hay, plowing fields, and milking the old cow. Leila Hubble, you will hear folks say, And Mary Colclasure, won fame in G. A. A. Last of all is Carmen Shore, who’s writing this little verse. I hope that you’ll enjoy it, and think it could be worse. 19 CLA YTONIAN 47
