She introduced us to more complicated versions of history fso we thoughtj. Mrs. Broyles was our fifth grade teacher. Here we learned fractions and long division. For part of the fifth grade we were taught by Mrs. Causy. In the sixth grade Mrs. Narney and Mrs. Griffin were our teachers. Many remember this year because of two things. The next year would be high school and that year it seemed we made South American booklets all year long. In the fall of 1947 we entered Foley High School. Everything was different and new. Instead of one room we had to change for different classes and different teachers. lt did not take long for us to get used to this arrange- ment. Miss Jackson and Mr. Emmett were our homeroom teachers. This year we came in contact with other new students from Bon Secour and Magnolia Springs. In the eighth grade we were divided into three sections. They were: Mrs. Sikes, Miss Steedly and Mrs. Demarlo rooms. These were our homerooms for the eighth year Of school. When we entered the ninth grade it was very exciting because we could choose a few of our subjects. Miss Gilmore and Mr. Robinson were our homeroom teachers. ln the tenth grade we again added to our class by receiving students from Elberta and Summerdale. This year we also had more elective subjects. Also we could participate in the Beauty Pageant this year. We had to give the prom for the Seniors which we gave at Paradise Beach. We raised the money by selling magazine subscriptions. Mrs. Smith, Mr. Fleming and Mrs. Morgan were our homeroom teachers. The next year we were in the eleventh grade. This year we gave the Banquet for the Seniors from the proceeds of the Annual Beauty Pageant. Mrs. Nelson, Miss Gilmore and Mr. McFerrin were our homeroom teachers. And now at last we are Seniors. Our sponsors are Mrs. Elsa Britton and Mr. R. L. Smith. This has been a most joyous year with only one dark spot in it. We had to have an Econ theme in every sixth week, we had to order rings, invitations, hear talks from college representatives, have a few parties, put on the Senior Play, go to the Prom and Banquet, get in copies for the Annual, elect various arid Surldry POSiri0r1S. rake terrible 511315. get out a week before everybody else, and last but not by far least, spend four glorious days touring around Alabama in a big Greyhound bus. Thus, for twelve years, we have sailed close to shore, but now we are ready to set our sails for the open sea. EDITORS MESSAGE We, the Blue and Gold Staff, are proud to present to you our 1953 Blue and Gold. This book has caught glimpses here and there, so that in years to come the activities of this school year at Foley High will not be dimmed and will not fade from memory. In later years, while turning these pages, if you should recall the many smiles, sorrows, and dreams of '53, we shall be content, knowing that we have done the thing we were called upon to do.
