When we became Seniors we were a very important class. The Sr.II's and Sr.III's began including us in their social groups. We acquired the students from Elberta and Summerdale, and our class became the largest class in Senior High. At first our new students were shy and ill at ease, but they quickly secured the feeling of being at home. Our class, being so large, was divided into two sect- ions. Mrs. Morgan and Miss haver were our home room teach- ers. They seemed to like us fine, as they were eager and sponsored our class in every way. Each class had their own officers. During our Sr.I year we did not have many occasions for the two sections to meetg although both classes worked together and cooperated very nicely. Our 9r.I boys were very active in school sports. HSome of them even made first string on our football team. We were the Baldwin County Football Champions that year. We also entertained the Seniors with a nice prom. That year really started off our Senior years successfully. As we went into our Junior year we realized that we were becoming one of the most important classes. We buckled down on our lessons and began to fill in the spaces so that when we would become Seniors we wouldn't have anything to worry about. That year finally came. We were given the impression that we were dignified Seniors. We tried to live up to our name but sometimes our ideas were too tempting to P6Sist. We just couldn't help our silly ways. nKilroyn and nRichardu practically lived at school then. We enjoyed having them al- though they did play many tricks on us. We were entertained as guests at the Jr.-Sr. banquet and prom which was a special occasion for us because it marked an ending to our annual parties at High School. Our Senior year is one we never shall forget. The memo- ries will remain with us always. The sum it of the mountain looms far ahead and its distance lends enchantment to the view, and clothes the moun- tain in it's azure hue, Historian: Sara James

girls all wore white dresses and the boys white suits. Sev- eral little speeches were given and then we closed our gram- mar school days with happy memories. We started our Junior years off bright-right from the first day until the last. We were fortunate in having two very good teachers because we were just beginning our High School career and we need all the English and history we could cram into our head's. Our Jr.I teachers were Miss looty and Mrs. Wingard. During our Jr.II year we were blessed with new students from Bon Secour. From the first day they were called the 'Wolf Pack' Kunfortunately they have been howling ever since! They have,been faithful students all through their years at Foley. We also had two very talented students with us that year. They were Boone--o and Rig--o the magicians. They en- tertained us quite a bit and it became so unbearable for Mrs. Tatum that she had a nervous breakdown. We were sorry about this because she was a good teacher. Mr. Tate came to teach us then. He was a substitute teacher, but he d1dn't substi- tute very long for us. For some reason, which we could never understand, he didn't like us. Mrs. White came next to be with us. She was very right after Christmas. to teach us. We tried so well with her. Oh, Buddy H. were punished they couldn't put over but she stayed with us considerate and stayed with us until Then ---- well Mrs. Robinson was sent old tricks but they d1dn't work many times Earl B., Alvin R., and our the for their funny, funny tricks, but Mrs. Robinson. She threatened to quit and by the time we reached the end of our eighth year we were pretty well tamed. Our Jr.III year brought us many'thr1ll1ng experiences. We were gradually being drawn into the social groups. We gave class parties every Friday night which proved to be won- derful occaslons for all of usl We gave our first real class party that year at Mr. George Holk's with our home-room teachers, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Williams, chaperoning. That started several of our High School romances that have grown through the years and the flames are still burning. Mary Scott gave us an enjoyable class party at her home. We had refreshments, games, and dancing. At the end of that year we brushed up on our knowledge to see if we were eligible to be Seniors. We cou1dn't wait to begin our Senior years with determination to make our class the best ever.

CLASS PCDEM This Class is the best we'1l all agree, There's quite a few of us as you can plainly see. Now as we come to each student's name Try to guess his fate or fam . We'l1 take our President, George, first, When it comes to growing he's the worst. Now Phyllis is small and cute as a trick, How would you describe her? I'd say 'oh1ck'. The football captain is our own Jim Tom He takes life easy, he's oh, so calm! Elaine Clopton, what a bru ettel We bet that she will crash Hollywood yet. What a pair is Mildred and Earl, He's her beau: she's his girl. With a football, David C. can reign, Truly the Army's loss was our gain. Vivian is our dream girl right! For good and sore eyes she's a sight. Our tall blond cheerleader is Valton Long He's as good as Frankie with a hot school song. There is also Sue 'hols full of pep. At the football games she was really hep. Who is that I see ru ning around? Oh yes, Glenn Holk: he's quite a clown. Now Vera had to go get engaged, Among the boys this caused a rage. Johnny H. is small but look at his feet, On the basketball court. he can't be beat. Our busy busy gal is Ramona Thieme, But her eyes are never without a gleam. For our man, look at Joe Beech, He's easy to learn and easy to teach. Mary Elizabeth McGowan is full of poise, But that's not saying she can't make noise. We thought one time we had lost Floyd M., But we found out he was just riding the rim. Helen S. is friendly and loves to tease, She does her best to try to please. Charles Harper's hair is quite an attraction, lith the girls, it really gets action. There is a girl who you never hear laugh or talk, Look out girls, Pauline will have all the boys caught Roger will go places with his red hair, He has brown eyes to serve as a spare. Dorothy'Hermetz is planning to be married soon, And live is a big house with plenty of room.
