xx The RECORD E' 1945 HISTORY OF TI-IE CLASS OF 1945 In the fall of 1941, Young High School was most fortunate in having 191 green freshman enter into her folds. At that time little did we know what the next four years would bring to us. To all of us many important occasions stand out above others- as the day we held our first class meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Libby Baker, vice-president, Helen Sailors, secretary and treasury, Billy Irwin. Not many of us knew the teachers very well but we chose a lovable little lady for our sponsor-Miss Evelyn Crippen. The Freshman party was given in the school gym. Everybody got acquainted and we really had a big time. The girls didn't lose any time in gaining membership to the different clubs. Those who joined the Girl Reserves were Geraldine Pickens, Alma McPherson, Betty L. Ford, Betty Jo Gorman, and Libby Baker. Rose Mary Barber, Eleanor Sellers, Edith Combs, Jonnie Masscngill, Marilyn Franklin and Joanne Larew sang in thc chorus. It was only a few short months until we were classed as Sopho- mores-we knew everybody and everything fwe thoughtj. Again it was time to elect class officers. Gene Huff was elected president, Libby Baker, vice-president, Bart Iddins, secretary. Class Sponsor was none other than Mr. J. G. McCollough. Some of our musically minded classmates joined our Band. They were Dorothy Ford, Charles Gillespie, Lynn Smith, Carl Sharp, Becky Holland, Betty Jo Wood and C. D. Hagaman. Those who were oratorically interested belonged to the Speaker's Guild. From our class were Joyce Burnette, Dolores Burleson, Betty Ann Byers, Rose Barber, Alma McPherson, Bobbie Larew, Bart Iddins, and Gerald Cooper. The Yellowjacket Staff was aided by the assistance of Betty Gorman and Harold Julian. It was only natural that the boys became interested in the sports. Roy Stokes, Bill Nichols, Earl Hoifmeister and Johnny Mann contributed manpower to the football team and Dewey Lee and Earl Hoifmeister played basketball. ' The football team was spurred on to victory by the cheer- leading of Edith Combs, Bart Iddins, and Bobbye Cruze. Bobbie Larew, Betty Lawson Ford, and Charles Linster made their appearance on the stage in Huck Finn. As Miss Sophomore Class, Libby Baker won the title. Our Junior year rolled around-we were exactly midway in our high school journey of education. Although we were not really known to be politicians, Bart Iddins was elected president, John Clabo-the he-man of the entire school-was vice-president, Earl Hoffmeister, secretary, and Libby Baker, treasury. We voted likeable Miss Keller as sponsor and believe me she really did make it a very successful year for us. The Junior class certainly added support to the football team- in the terms of Earl Hoffmeister, Roy Stokes, Kenneth Stephens, Herman Sims, Lynn Smith, Bill Nichols, Johnny Mann and Dewey Lee, as well as the star of the whole season, John Clabo, who we loaned to the Marines during the same year. Those who certainly put all they had in yelling for these boys were the cheerleaders-Bart Iddins, Charles Linster, Dolores Burle- son, Rose Mary Barber, Bobbye Cruze, and Edith Combs. As you can see, the entire squad was composed of Juniors. Representing us in the basketball cage were Captain Earl Hoffmeister, Dewey Lee, Herman Sims and Howell Houser assisted by Carl Sharp, the manager. During the year, there were three stage productions- One Mad Night, Smiling Through and the Yankee Doodle Minstrel. Those who took part were John Clabo, Emily Kirkpatrick, Marilyn Twenty-eight . Franklin, Eleanor Sellers, Betty L. Ford, Bobbie Larew, Charles Linster, Bart Iddins and Gerald Cooper. In the drama department was given a one-act contest play, So Wonderful in White, which won first place in the district contest. Those who acted were Bobbie Larew, Dolores Burleson, Rose Mary Barber, Marilyn Franklin and Kathleen Fine. The Rhythmairesf' which was the school orchestra, could really make everyone get jivey with music from Carl Sharp, Gene McDaniels, C. D. Hagaman, and Charles Linster. Reeda Adams won the title of Miss Junior Class. In April, our Junior class was host to the Senior class at our big annual formal banquet. Under the direction of Miss Keller this was one of the most memorable as well as beautiful events of the year. At last we have reached the top step of our high school ladder-this our senior year will be the busiest and most eventful year of the four. It was great to be a Senior-the school'just seemed to revolve around our class. According to our senior class officers-there's no man shortage at all ! ! Herman Sims, the most handsome boy in the class, was elected presidentg Dewey Lee, who is the basketball captain, is vice-president, Bobbie Larew, secretary, and Bill' Nichols, one of our football heroes, is treasurer. The football team had another successful year with Earl HoEmeister as captain. The cheerleading squad again was practic- ally filled from our class. They were Bart Iddins, head cheerleader, Charles Linster, Dolores Burleson, Edith Combs-the first girl to achieve three years of cheerleading-Anne McDaniel and Emily Kirkpatrick. The neatly dressed girls and boys who served as ushers were Juanita King, head usher, Jeanne Larew, Dolores Burleson, Dorothy Berry, Betty L. Ford, Louise Coulter, Helen Maxey, Milton Eich and Charles Linster. Rose Mary Barber and Helen Maxey were chosen by the Band as their sponsors. Marguerite Woody was promoted to the editor- ship of the Yellowjacket. Thespian Troupe No. 415 pronounced Bart Iddins as the Best Thespian of the year. In our social club, Dorothy Ford was elected president of the Penquins. This year as in the past our class took a big part in the drama events. An all-girl play, Nine Girls was given with the follow- ing students: Emily Kirkpatrick, Rose Barber, Anne McDaniel, Bobbye Cruze, Dolores Burleson, Marilyn Franklin, and Evelyn Newman. Earl Hoffmeister and Betty L. Ford won the coveted titles of Mr. and Miss Young High School, while Juanita King and Harold Julian were elected Mr. and Miss Senior Class. During the last four years while the rest of us have been out having a good time, there have been at least five students who have been earnestly working toward the scholastic honor of being a class speaker. Ranking first is Katherine LeCoultre, Valedictorian, Joy Lee Reed, Marguerite Woody, Bonnie Crisp, and Jack York. These four years have been near and dear to each of us. We would like to thank each teacher who has been patient and kind to help us reach our goal in our high school work. To Mr. Duff we are very grateful to him for what he means to us and to the school. Last but not least our senior class sponsor, Mrs. Miriam E. Garrett, has spent endless hours in making these last few months very successful for us. We feel we can not repay her in any way for all of her kindness and thoughtfulness to us, but we say we are deeply grateful to her.
