I imagine we all come to this crossroad in life with mixed feelings, both of regret and of high exaltation. l walked down the halls and memories flooded me. Robert, you left us in such a hurry to ioin the army that l wonder if you didn't miss some of this, You weren't iust the president of our senior class, you were our friend, VVe've missed you, maybe that was because we felt that you were thinking of us. Would you like to know some of the plans your friends are making and what they are doing now? l'll try and tell you. This is our war, and we have all changed our plans to help win it, lust as you did. George Gross ioined the navy about the time you left and received his boot training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. J. C. Henderson chose the navy also and was sent to San Diego, California. Carl Russell left on the eighteenth of April. Bill Elmore and Rudolph Clark think the navy's about the tops and are planning to ioin after they graduate. But, of course, that Air Corps bunch think all others have the wrong idea. Lary Hall is stationed at Gunter Field where he is studying radio. Bryant Bass is at Keesler Field, Mississippi. Lowell Wamick is a cadet now, studying meterology at Vanderbilt University- John Elton Graham, Edward Earl Strength, and Harold Farmer are still studying pre-flight at school, because they plan to ioin the air corps soon, Others who hope to be in the air corps soon are James Gaddis Holt, James Wadsworth, Kenneth Jones. V Many of our bays are still giving the regular army a rousing cheer, and can you blame them? George Howard Morgan is in the quartermaster corps in Atlanta. Daniel Harper, Hardin Letlow, Maurice Richardson, and Herbert Parris are all in the infantry. Daniel was sent to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and Hardin to Camp Carson, Colorado. Herbert and Maurice have just been sent to their reception centers. Carl Rutherford gives his vote for the work he prepared himself for in school by getting in the ordnance corps. Bill McEwen expects to be in the army after he graduates and is studying pre-flight now. Marvin Wilson is now a marine. Ralph Johnson, D. C. Mercer, and Harmon Parker have been deferred to farm. The government offered to train high school seniors for defense work and quite a few of our friends, both boys and girls, took them up, so you see we girls are doing our part too. Pearl McEwen, Bill Elmore, Mary Clark, Carlo McFarland, and Herman Evans are taking the auto mechanics course. Frances Womble, Pat Harris, Jack Kelly, Jessie Rowlen, Marvin Wilson, and Mary Frances Holt chose the machinist's course. Gertrude Gibbons and Bernice Dennis want to help and think they can best serve as nurses. Billy Louise Turner and Cleveland Gilliland think that knowing about food and nutrition is important in war times, and so they are still workina in the lunchroom group. midi? fi L . fi. li l B ut T it ' 5 s ..-M 5 lHJ4i nh is The commercial group is still going strong with Mae Yarbrough as their head- She's doing a wonderful job as commercial teacher but says she still feels that her calling is to be a first grade teacher, Evelyn Myers, Kate Gibbons, and Irene Hicks are getting secretarial training working in the office. Quite efficient too. Evelyn and Irene are going into commercial work but Kate is going to Auburn and study to be a home economics teacher. She won a scholarship through her 4--H Club work Delora Gray, Eva Mae Hall, Martha Margaret Wingard, Mattie Pearl Levins, Geneva Wadsworth, and Annie Ruth Law are planning to be secretaries. Jessie Mae Mercer has charge of the school bank. Boneze Harrison still plans to take a beautician's course after she finishes school. Alice James, Ottis Blankenship, and William McGlamery have leaves of absence to work. Alice is a telephone operator in Montgomery. Ottis is also in Montgomery working at the City Cafe. William is to be found around a printing office, of course. He is working for the Montgomery Advertiser. Margaret Allen, Mary Frances Holt, Sherwood McCord, and Mary Clark are planning to go to college. Margaret is going to Troy to prepare to be an elementary teacher. Mary Frances is going to study to be a medical laboratory technician. Sherwood is still as much interested in chemistry as when he had charge of the science department, and of course he hopes to get to take a course in chemistry. Mary Clark is going to major in music, probably at the University of Alabama. Kenneth Jones can be found around the hatchery and refrigeration plant at any time of day or night- He is really going to be missed by the school and community when he is called into service. h And have you heard? Margaret Allen won the county championship in the oratorical contest sponsored recently by the Birmingham News. We were quite proud of her. Our boys who drive school buses really have a lot of responsibility, but Ralph Johnson is still driving the Beat l4 bus. Carl Rutherford drives Daniel Hopper's bus now that Daniel has been drafted. We miss having Lowell Wamick drive us around, but then we aren't doing much driving these days. We are all making drastic changes in our way of living, doing away with frivolous things and keeping only the ideal af America. We accept these changes, gladly, because Victory in this war means Freedom for the World. Love, THE SENIOR CLASS OF l943. Page Twelve COACH BOYKlN'S GROUP Jessie Rovvlen, Herbert Wright, Billy Ray, Calloway, Emmett Dennis, Houston Farmer, Carl Russell, Bill Glasscock, James Foreman, Charles Clark, Thomas Lane, Billy Holt, Mr. Boykin, Harold Goree, George Hall, Charles Gross. Coach's group has an enrollment of sixteen members. The group is divided into three sections: mechanics, plumbing, and electricity. These groups were arrived at according to the personal interest ot the members. All three groups have had some work in the fundamentals of mathematics, including division, multiplication, subtraction, and addition of decimals, fractions and whole numbers.

It is made up of at least one representative from each of the maior groups and of the regular officers of the student body. At regular meetings, held weekly, this group discusses problems that arise on our campus. A different person presides at each meeting. That is, each representative presides when his major teacher is present. In addition to our regular teacher, Miss Greenwood, we have a visiting teacher each week. We choose these in alphabetical order. Some of the problems that the Council has worked on are those concerning the lunchroom line, boys smoking, the crowded conditions on the school buses, and other problems like these. Committees from the Council have gotten new trash cans and have writtena new constitution for the school. Members of the student body consider it an honor to be elected to the Council.

DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING CENTER AUTO SHOP 21-7-4 MACHINE SHOP QZIZMJZCUJZQ of Jfcwffulffe During the years previous to 1937-38, Holtville was known as a traditional southern rural consoli- dated school. The daily schedule andthe courses of study were practically the same as those in any other high school where students were given daily assignments from textbooks. ln the year 1937-38, Dr. W. L. Spencer, Supervisor of Secondary Education of the State Department of Education of Alabama, recommended to the principal of the Holtville School a curriculum study which was to be made by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. After state department officials and Dr. F. C- Jenkins, Director of the Southern Study, had taken careful observance of the school, it was accepted as a member in the Southern Study. Holtville was then known as one of the three Southern Study Schools in Alabama. In order to develop new ideas for carrying out such an educational program, Mr. Chrietzberg and members of the faculty attended Southern Study Conferences and summer schools during the summer months. The main obiective of our school program in general is to make life better in the homes, school, and community. Students also are encouraged to think for themselves, and they are graded by their attitude, attendance, and effort. At first students worked 'more or less individually. Teachers helped them to capture their interests, and the main obiective was beginning to be fulfilled, students did iobs that educated them, improved the school, and helped people in the community and improved their environment. During the first year of this experimental program, many changes and accomplishments were made. A group of girls organized a personal service group, which served students and women in the community and helped them to realize the importance of personal grooming. A refrigeration plant and a hatchery were constructed for the purpose of serving the families in the Holtville community and in many other districts. The boys who worked in these plants learned to meet people, to cut meat correctly, and to operate and take care of the equipment. ' ln the year 1939-40 a N. Y. camp was established for boys from all over the state of Alabama. Among their activities these boys built a log cabin, which was referred to as a home for all iunior high school students who were interested in home-making. These iunior students learned to care for the home and to get along in the family- The agriculture boys terraced land, pruned and spraped fruit trees, and did other iobs for farmers in the community. These boys and the home economics girls carried out various home proiects, which resulted in the production of more and better poultry, livestock and orchards, and the general improve- ment of homes. Students made articles for the home in the arts and crafts building and women from the community also worked here. Some of the other groups formed were the lunchroom, choir, dramatics, all com- mercial studies, social science, history, science, physical education, English, algebra, mathematics, chem- istry, biology, journalism, printing, debating, and pottery. As the interests of students developed, new groups were formed. Some of the other groups that have been added to the list during the last three years are speech, speech choir, electrical, mechanics, plumbing, commercial law, current events, survey, dance class, and pre-flight. Through all these years there has been a complete understanding between the parents, students, and faculty. The result of this understanding has been cooperation, if it had not been for this coopera- tion, Holtville would not have succeeded in its curriculum study. Everyone felt the need for such an education, and did his share towards making a success of each undertaking. No individual was forced upon any duty. There has been no trace of Hitlerism, but there is proof ofa great democracy. It's a democracy in which one feels free to work, speak and act in his own manner. The knowledge received by students at Holtville has been appreciated because they realize that they worked in a democracy and that their knowledge is derived greatly from their services to others. Each year our schedule and ways of working have varied. Students have had the opportunity t accept responsibilities, to develop leadership, to think things out for themselves, to improve their ap- pearances'and personalities, and to make the homes, school, and community better places in which to live. This is the fifth year in which this new system has been in effect at Holtville, and it is proving to be a most successful means of educating the boys and girls of each community represented here. 4' 7 - -V' --- . 51 , f if 'a ' iz?

We have -high ideals, for which we are willing to work, so they may come true- One of the main principles of our system is democracy. lt is practiced throughout high school, foundations being laid in the grammar grades. Democracy is a cry that can be heard in the halls, in the classrooms, and at play. It is a cry that will become louder in the future. A true American is born with freedom in his veins. More freedom in the school is a goal we have set to reach. To achieve this goal, the student is going to have an increasing amount of responsibility placed on him. Planning his school program is his iob, not the teacher's. Learning to do this efficiently, he will learn how to schedule his day and his life so he can get the most done in the shortest length of time. Learning to schedule the work he needs is not the only value the student will receive from his planning. When the student learns to plan his work and then carries out those plans to his own and his teacher's satisfaction, we can say his time has been well spent. Each student has a life of his own to live. To teach him to be independent and to take the initiative is an ideal to come into realization. When a person learns to take the initiative in important school activities, he is also preparing himself for a better role in the drama of life. We believe every student has certain talents, and that every person can excel in something good and worthwhile. A goal to achieve will be to bring out successfully these talents and put them to work in such a way that students will be better prepared to face the world. There are quite a few trades that Holtville does not possess which may find their way to our campus as we try to discover interests and abilities. New trades will depend upon the demand for workers in each particular field of work and upon the number and the interest of students who can profit from it. To establish more working trades will require more instructors and advisers, more equipment, but we believe a student at Holtville will be able to get almost anything to work with if he is willing to work after he receives it. For years, Holtville has served the community which surrounds it, and since be- coming an experimental school, it has greatly increased its services- There are always new discoveries and inventions being made everywhere. Our teachers will study them and pass them on to the students and also to the adults of the community. Classes in nutrition and scientific farming will be held in an effort to make living better on the campus. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so we have an eye on more and improved recreation for our people. New games will be bought, more nights will be devoted to community gatherings. We will mention a few more of the many things that might be a part of the Holtville of the future. We can picture a shoe fixery, a laundry, and a theater, devoted to plays, programs, and upsto-date movies. A'swimming pool, more tennis courts, and a stadium are iust a few more additions to this strip of land which has developed into a small city. The school will take greater responsibility for improving the social and cultural life of its people, and there will be historic pageants, operettas, and plays all ,directed, produced and enacted by the students. A larger field of music and art is also planned for the school of tomorrow. The Holtville that is laid out for the future will be a different Holtville, an unique school for the youths who are to follow us. -I He 11,4 1 , N r I-N' .ua-V fx .u 'A man' J ,- , H , 'f nc 'xi ' 1,94 , . .., . 1. -A:.' if .0 e ...rw , ..-.fr .
