 JU--- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1941 a happy and smiling group of girls and boys descended upon this ancient institution. With- out the calm and dignity that have always characterized their actions, they elected their officers, selected their class colors and their motto. The Senior Class of 1947 consists of 22 students, twelve boys and nine girls. Of this number, ten are original Riverton first graders, three from Hurricane, five from Pulaski Pike, one from Mississippi, one from Rison, one from Limrock and one from East Limestone. Our president of the Junior III class was Helen Mor- ris ; Senior I, Elna Frame; Senior II, Dan Nevels, and in our Senior year is James Blackburn. Seven of its boys have been outstanding in basketball, five of them starring on the A team, two on the B. The class has been active in all school activities, drives, programs, speaking contest, etc. One member of our class, Billie Don Hundley, died March 8th of injuries received in an automobile accident March 5th, 1947. We are especially proud of our activities as Seniors. With the proceeds from our Senior play and the profit from our annual we have purchased 21 Senior lockers, a set of Compton’s Encyclopedia and spent $250.00 re- modeling the stage. • .

CLASS POEM Together we have stormed the years Have downed defeat and conquered fears; Together we have climbed the hill— With courage and hopes that linger stilL The boogie-woogie” boy is first on our roll ( With his splendid music, he thrills the soul, I Now Jimmy Blackburn is always the boss- When he’s gone, Riverton will suffer the loss. f Ur re's Shorty” Bingham, our tall, handsome man. See the girls swoon at his command. . In basketball we thought he was a wow. ' His dancing ability stops with a bow. ( ML Z. ' J Now Helen Morris is a wizard at typing But you never find her fussing or griping, She’s not the type that goes in foi4 swooning y r But you should see her when Ray starts crooning. At skating our Nell McBride is great With her no other one can rate But in class she’s always sleepy v , Or is she just dreaming of Tippy. . Jerone Fogg is the captain of our ball team In every sport he’s always on the beam He’s always around without any fear. Hey! Ball boys, what ya gonna do next year? ( Here's cute kid” Carter who’s very wise, He doesn’t mind speaking and at dancing he tries. At playing ball he’s Wigley’s man And eating chicken! Boy, he can! -f- Frances Fears is our cute little blonde. Of selling shoes she’s very fond She likes West Huntsville, that produced a great drummer But she doesn’t like brownettes worth a cucumber. Loura loves to eat and dance She may be dreaming, but not of romance, Wonder why she was so thrilled at the prom, She didn’t tell us, but we jveren’t dumb. Next on our roll is Beaver Green, Wherever there’s a ball game, he’ll be seen. In spite of conceit, he’s a jolly good boy, When he’s not arguing, he brings us joy. » There’s Elna Frame—Watch, her go. -11 1 -A '’ 7V A-sy YjjaJ 'r T - She’s the queen as we all know. She’s the queen and you can bet Her equal has never yet been met!
