CLASS OF Now that the time for leaving Gadsden High has come, we, the class of '51, find that there ore many fond memories of things we have done in the past to take with us. As we remember the fun we had on band trips, during Stunt Night, at dances at the Rec, and while working on Homecoming floats, and realize that we can no longer take part in these and other activities as students of G. H. S., we find that there is a feeling of sadness. When we entered G. H. S. in the fall of 1947, we realized that, as green Freshmen, we had much to learn. We soon learned the ropes though, and won second place in the Homecoming Parade that year. It was with pride and pleasure that we presented our first stunt, Eboney's Rhapsody. Although if wasn't a winner, everyone felt that it was one of the best Freshman stunts ever to be presented at Gadsden High. Our beauty that year was Miss Joan Sherman. Everybody agreed that she made a charming picture on the stage during the Coronation. During our Sophomore year at G. H. S., we really came into our own. Many of the clubs in school had Sophomores os members and officers. Several of our boys were on the football team, and we were entering into all phases of school life. As time for Stunt Night rolled around, we worked feverishly on our Irish stunt, Blarney About Kilarney. Then the big night came. When King Mickey Brown picked our beauty, Joan Sherman, as his queen, we were really in the clouds. Then the decision of the judges revealed that our stunt had won second place. We really took the roof off. Before we realized it, we had become upper classmen. Our Junior year started off with a bang as we won second place in the Homecoming Parade. Our stunt this year was Cave Inn, a novel idea using the cave hide-out of Red Beard, the pirate, as our locale. Our joy knew no bounds when our beauty. Miss Sara Long, was crowned queen of G. H. S. This made our class the first in the history of the school to have two different girls crowned queen in consecutive years. Suddenly, we found that we were privileged Seniors. As we marched to our seats in the auditorium with the other classes standing for us, we could hardly realize that the years had passed so fast. It seemed that it had only been a few months ago that we had entered G. H. S. as green Freshmen. We had always heard about the magazine campaign, and been anxious to see how many we could sell. As we started our campaign, we set as our goal $6,000 worth of subscriptions. Although we didn't reach it, we still surpassed any effort by a previous Senior Class, and we had the highest sales of any school in Alabama. Before we knew it, it was Homecoming time. Again we won second place. As time for Stunt Night grew near, we felt that we must win in this, our last, year. We worked day and night for weeks on our Egyptian stunt, Nile and Void. For the first time in the history of stunt night, there was a tie for first place. The judges decided that all of the stunts were so good that both the Seniors and the Juniors deserved the blue ribbon. Then came the Senior banquet and the Senior dance, both of which were wonderful. But at graduation as we remembered the good times we had had in the past, we felt sad about leaving Gadsden High, the best alma mater in the world! Page 25
