JUNIORS President...... Vice-President. Secretary...... Trcasurer...... ....Max Wilson .Foster Campbell .....Rosa Hood Charlotte Huckel Hood, Huckel, Wilson, Campbell Under the supervision of Max Wilson as President for three years, the once so-called, “chicory chicks of ’49,” have grown into juniors and have proved themselves quite capable of being so. At the beginning of ’46, there were 151 students starting as freshmen, but due to the facts that some dropped out of school, moved to some other town, or got married, we have lost about thirty students and up to date there are approximately 117 juniors. During their freshman year, the class of ’49 was under the sponsorship of Miss Miriam Church, and they were well represented in the band, glee club, chorus, G.A.A., F.F.A., Home Economics Club, and Speech Club. During their sophomore year. Miss F.lsia Tate was the sponsor, and the class carried on previous activities and looked forward to being juniors. This year, being their junior year, has proved to be the busiest of all. They have participated in the sale of magazines, helped with the P.T.A. carnival, presented the class play of “Dear Ruth,” have had many junior members on the “Tiger Tales” staff, and under the sponsorship of Miss Annabel Scott, they have recently chosen committees for the junior-senior banquet and prom. The junior class is well represented in sports as well as other activities. They have two boys, Fred Blair and Max Wilson starting on the basketball team their freshman year, and have made great progress since. Many boys have gone out for track and the juniors have the captain, Glenn Curtis in their class. On the subject of football, a large number of juniors have participated, and John Gilbert has been selected as captain of the team for next year. There were eleven students of the junior class awarded honor roll pins for the second quarter, and eight of these people have received pins each time they have been given out. So, you can see that the freshman class of ’46 has come a long way. They’re grown up now, and are eager to be seniors next year, and receive their diplomas for which they have so patiently waited.
