'Me Em I shall endeavor to relate to you the highlights of the Class of '59 during the past quadrennial. We would like to share with you this retrospection of our activities and experiences as a class. Freshmen -- we were All-American know-it-all Freshmen. We were eager to ac- cept the responsibilities of a high school student. Our boys became daring Martin War- riors, with some of our girls cheering them on. The first maid and her escort at Home- coming were sponsored by our class. And when the Warriors won a trophy from the Birmingham News, we felt that we had contributed much. Well! We were actually grown-up Sophomores! This year we threw ourselves in- to extracurricular activities. Of course, there was football, basketball, baseball, and cheerleading, but now we were Thespians and Betas. To keep up with our school work and other-than-school work required an assiduous- ness which was at the time unfamiliar to us. But having already taken two steps up the ladder, we knew that we must take the two remaining. Our third step -- and we were IUNIORS. This was a most memorable year. Our class was divided, but we worked well together. We boasted, bragged, and looked down on every other class. The captain of the football team, head cheerleader, and a Homecoming maid were members of our class. Our float was first-place winner in the Homecoming parade, and after the game, we were host to a jubilant victory party. For the first time in several years, the Junior Class presented a three-act play. We were making history! As the year drew to a close, we feted the Seniors with an incompara- ble banquet -- the glorious climax to months of secrecy and hard work. Time began to slip past a little too swiftly. Too soon it was May, and we had completed our Junior year in high school. And now -- the Grand Finale -- we're SENIORS and still the greatest class that eve r hit fliterallyly Martin High School. Again we have the football captain, head cheer- leader, and winning float in the parade PLUS the co-captain of the football team and this year, Homecoming Queen! Our football and basketball teams, composed mainly of Seniors, have had outstanding seasons this year. As for the incomparable banquets and parties, we plan to be the recipients! However modest we may be, we cannot deny the fact that there will never be an- other class so outstanding as, or equal to ours. But don't fret, Underclassmen, your day will come, and there's a chance that it might be ALMOST as glorious as ours! 7143104644
