VOICES As we wander down the halls of Shady Spring High School, we hear many voices reminding us of all the fun, fame, and hard work, we, the students, put into our four unforgettable years spent here. We hear the voices echoing--they seem to be saying: FRESHMAN CLASS When we entered the huge halls of the big school, we all were shaking inside, but we tried our best not to let it show. We were anxious to begin. We started off by electing class officers for the year 1957-58. The four were: President--Tommy Peters, Vice-President--Robert Pack, Secretary--Mary Ellen Richmond, and Treasurer--Benny Pigg. Soon, we were getting accustomed to the routine of high school and liked it very much. Louise Richmond, Lois Lynch, Linda Cole, and Lou Ann Jolly were chosen Freshmen cheerleaders later in the year. Mary Epling was chosen as color guard for the band. We thought we were represented by a lovely group of girls. The year was drawing near the end, but one more event was to be held--the May Festival. A lovely senior girl was chosen queen; but our two representatives, Louise Richmond and Mary Richmond, were just as lovely as she. At the end of this school year, we were ready to take a vacation and to begin plans for the next year. The end of this year is nigh But our joy and spirits fly To be Sophomore is a must And no one can say, Dumb Freshmen to us. SOPHOMORE CLASS The new year had begun, and we were anxious to get started. We plunged right in and elected class officers. The four this year were: Tommy Peters--President, Mary Richmond--Vice-President, Doris Lilly--Secretary, and Tommy Scott--Treasurer. Patricia Pittman was selected to serve as majorette for the coming year, while Mary Epling was once again color guard. During the basketball season, Barbara Lilly, Kora Keaton, and Patty Ward were chosen as twirlers in the band. The May Festival was approaching us, and we were to elect three girls to be attendants to the queen. The lucky three were Louise Richmond, Mary Ellen Richmond, and Doris Ann Lilly. Now we really felt that we compared to the seniors, because next year we would be one step closer. Yes, we were going to be Juniors, and I guess all that ran through our minds was that we now had two down and two to go. As Sophomores of Shady High We praised our school with each yell and cry For our good school we gave many cheers, And wished it success in the coming years. JUNIOR CLASS On September 2, 1960, we thundered toward the building with great pride and happiness. This year was to be a big one for us because of the Prom and the Junior Play. As usual, we elected class officers; and they were Robert Bailey--President, Bill Cook--Vice-President, Irma Sweeney--Secretary, and Doris Lilly--Treasurer. Our band was headed by all Juniors, except two. The drum majorette was Kora Keaton, and the co- captain was Patty Ward; the majorettes were Nancy Carte, Judy Carter, Connie Kennemur, Barbara Lilly, and Lana Harvey. The color guards were Mary Epling and Carmen Salgado. Yes, we were proud of them. 14

ECHOING We considered ourselves actors and actresses when we tried our luck with the class play, Headed for Eden. Benny James and Phyllis Moye went to Know Your State Government Day convention to represent Shady Spring High School. Lana Harvey, Robert Bailey, and Benny James attended Girls’ and Boys' State. We thought we had a very pretty representative when Doris Lilly won the title of being an attendant to Miss Tiger. Shortly afterward, we chose May Queen attendants and they were Louise Richmond, Mary Richmond, Doris Lilly, and Irma Sweeney. We decorated for the Junior-Senior Prom to honor the seniors. Our theme was Under the Magnolias. The gym was beautiful, and everyone had a wonderful time. With happy good-byes, we parted once again. Juniors of '60 we were proud to be, We loved being Juniors as you can see. Being Seniors next year, we won't regret But our Junior year we shall never forget. SENIOR CLASS The time had finally come when we were Seniors; and after three years of fun and hard work, we could now have the Senior privileges we had waited for. We began the year with the election of our class officers. The big and final four were Bill Cook--President, Robert Bailey--Vice-President, Connie Kennemur--Secretary, and Nelson Cook—Treasurer. Our football captains were Bill Cook and Bill Cochran, and the cheerleading squad was headed by Louise Richmond. Now it was our turn to produce the homecoming queen. Lovely Louise Richmond was Miss Tiger, and her pretty attendant was Mary Epling. We all were proud when Robert Scott won first place in showmanship at the state F.F.A. and 4-H Baby Beef Show and Sale. Petite Carmen Salgado was presented a bouquet of roses at a dance sponsored by the Pep Club when she was crowned Snow Queen. A very vivacious senior girl, Patty Brown, was chosen as Miss Valentine of 1962. Robert Bailey was our Valedictorian, and our Salutatorian was Phyllis Moye. The Co-Honorarians were Louis Quesenberry and Lana Harvey. Unbelievable, yet true, we were now ready to take our stand on the stage and give our last farewell to the school, teachers, and fun at Shady High. With heavy hearts and misty eyes, we departed, leaving the way clear for you, the underclassmen, to work your way to fill the vacancy that we left. We regret the close of this year, And often wish it were not so near; For out in the world we soon shall be; The pleasures and hardships of life we shall see We have found joy and happiness here; We wish good luck to those next year. Though the end of our high school days is nigh, We shall never forget Shady High! Poetry for Voices Echoing by Linda Moore Sophomore 15
