His favorite subjects have been biology, geometry, agriculture, and history. Although he has done good work in all his subjects, he has been outstanding in these. His consistent good work and perseverance will certainly carry him far in his future career. Intellectual capability is to be admired by everyone. A person with leadership and a high intellect will progress far into the world of tomorrow. Frances is assured ot success yet to come by the high school record she has made. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES BEST ALL AROUND Warren Wright and Doris Cox Warren is, from all points of view, an outstanding boy. His athletic ability is to be praised since he has been outstanding in football and baseball. He has also capably served as president of his class two different years. Warren ' s versatile personality is always pleasing, especially when one is in a depressed frame of mind. With her well rounded personality, Doris has won the friendship of the students as well as the faculty. In the past four years, she has made above average grades and has been active in the Glee Club and Future Homemakers of America, asi well as in various class activities, such as Junior-Senior Banquet and the magazine campaigns. With her many admirable qualities, we know that her life will be a successful one. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES BEST LOOKING Teddy Blizard and Yvonne Adams Seeing is believing. You can only look at Teddy and see why the Seniors chose him as the best looking boy in our midst. His assets do not stop at physical beauty for he, too, plays football and baseball and was the besf player on the football team until he broke his leg. One of the most attractive girls in high school is Yvonne She is always well dressed and neat. But her beauty is only one of the things that have endeared her to her class¬ mates. Her friendliness, dependability, and quiet, pleasing personality have made us all respect, love, and admire her. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES FRIENDLIEST Selma Cooke and Billy Inman In Selma’s friendly and admirable character we see the high qualities which sym¬ bolize the spirit of our class. With her ability to cultivate friends, Selma Cooke will long be remembered by our class for her warm smile and understanding heart. What makes a person friendly? To recognize friends at every opportunity and never overlook a mere acquaintance. A friendly smile and bright Hello there —they are two characteristics of Billy. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES 5 f, P ' Brr p MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Billy Whitaker and Linda Willard In his high school career, Billy has shown that he is capable of advancing far into the world of tomorrow. In the 4-H and the F. F. A. Clubs, he has compiled numerous honors and won wide acclaim in the county and state. A bundle of energy and enthusiasm, mixed with something which might be termed personality, is Linda. She has an avid curiosity to learn everything she can and enough perseverance to stick to a job until it is finished. This, coupled with one of the brightest minds in our class, made her the inevitable choice for Girl Most Likely To Succeed. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES MOST ATHLETIC Betty Jean Joyce and Donald Denny Since few girls are athletically inclined, those possessing athletic ability and muscular co-ordination should demand admiration from less gifted people. Betty Jean had been widely recognized in Surry County and in the Northwestern part of the state os an outstanding basketball guard. To excel in sports is an achievement worth recognizing. Athletic ability is truly a talent that should be developed and used. During the past four years Don has compiled outstanding records in these three fields: basketball, football, and baseball.
