The RECORD 1946 FROM A SENIORS DIARY HISTORIAN-JEAN HILTON As we open our treasured book of memories, we feel the urge to reveal some of the most outstanding incidents of our high school days. Naturally some are more memorable than others, such as our first Freshman class meeting. just imagine two hundred and fifteen silly, giggling, bashful boys and girls facing each other for the first time. Well, somehow, we had enough nerve to look the Freshies over and then elected the following officers: President, O. K. Anderson, who is now in the Navyg Vice-President, Eleanor Witt, who was also a band majorette, Secretary and Treasurer, Willard Elrod Cheatham. Since our class was well represented by one hundred and seven wolves, we can readily understand now why cute, petite, and giggily Miss Crippen was elected sponsor. Our first big get-together was a party in the school gymn. We'll always remember this as our first high school party. Jean Hilton had the honor of being Miss Freshman Class that year. Oh! yes, I must mention one event that really helped to make the Freshman class a celebrity. In the Buy A Bomber Campaign sponsored by the school, Betty Jo Marshall sold over 318,000 in War Bonds and had the honor of being named Commander-im Chief of the Army and Navy. It is now 1943. By this time we felt quite capable of taking over Mr. Duff's duties. We had already learned the great art of writing notes and chewing gum in class. Class officers for this years were Bobby Hertel, Presidentg O. K. Anderson, Vice-President. Not only was pretty Lois Cogdill elected secretary and treasurer, but also Miss Sohomore class. We chose Mr. J. G. McCullough as class sponsor. Our class was well represented in the musical organizations in the school. We were mighty proud when Bobbie Nelle Howard Margaret Byrd, and Eleanor Witt were elected majorettes. They sure did a swell job of strutting. Seven sophomores were in the band and eighteen represented our class in the chorus. In the field of dramatics, we were represented in that thrilling mystry One Mad Night. Bill Berry, Lowlon Mucke, Lois Cog- dill, Donald Gentry, and Bob Johnson took part in this thriller. Eleanor Witt, Bob johnson, and Lois Cogdill became members of the new hiking club knownlas the Klutz Family. The Penquin Club bestowed the honor of President on Virginia Laymang Vice-President, jean Hilton. Other Sophomore Penquins were Betty Rose Johnson and Eleanor Witt. Well, here we are to the junior year, thinking by now we know everything. At least we knew what we were doing when we elected the following officers: President, George Parksg Vice-President, Len Montgomery, Secretary, Margaret Byrd, Treasurer, J. N. Burgin. We owe the great success of our junior year to Miss Keller, our class sponsor. The honor of Miss Junior Class was given to Libby Franklin. Oh, yes, we had a Mr, Junior Class who was likeable Bill Merwin. Three junior girls-Maridell Frazier, Jean Hilton, and Betty Rose Johnson-were honored to be in the cast of that thrilling all- girl mystery, Nine Girls. i Len Montgomery was elected President of the newly organized Commercial Club. Junior members of the new social club, the Jivettes, were Maridell Frazier, Helen Satterfield and Betty Jane Long. Shirley Goodin, Wanda Matheny, and Betty Jo Wood were members of the new Tip Top Club. Another newly organized group in our junior year was the Girls Choir in which fifteen of our classmates participated. We could not forget to mention the fact that several of the junior boys participated in the sports field. The basketball team led by Captain Dewey Lee won the district tournament. Other junior boys who participated were Len Montgomery, Bob Pollard, Eugene McCarroll, Jack Lawson, Earl McOolloch. Lowlon Mucke represented the Junior Class in the cheerleading squad. Bob Johnson, Lowlon Mucke, Peggy Prater and Dorothy Neubert were in the all-student play Brother Goose. Our successful junior year ended with an event that will always live in our memory. It was the junior-Senior Banquet. We owe our thanks to Miss Keller and Len Montgomery, who served as toastmaster. Now, we are up to the precious year of 1946. We are Seniors- we expect everything to include us. To start 05 this eventful year wc elected james jenkins, President, Pat Wood, Vic-President, Maridell Frazier, who was also elected Miss D. A. R., Secretary, and Tommy Gilbert, Treasurer. Ruth Ann White was elected Miss Bingo at our big Bingo Party. Several seniors-Virginia Layman, Betty Rose Johnson and Bob Hertel were cheerleaders. Ushers for this year were Tommy Gilbert, head usher, Len Montgomery, James Jenkins, Charles Webb, Earl McCulloch, Bob Johnson, Betty Jane Anderson, Martha Chunn, Sara Nell Miller, Lois Cogdill, George Parks, Maridell Frazier, Virginia Layman, Eleanor Witt and Jane Furr. The band really had an eye for beauty when they selected Lois Cogdill and Ruby Lee Williams to be their band sponsors. The cute strutters were Eleanor Witt and Bobbie Nell Howard. The Girls Choir elected Virginia Layman, President, Jean Hilton, Vice-Presidentg Ruby Lee Williams, Secretary. Bob Johnson, Virginia Layman, Bobbie Nell Howard, james Jenkins were in the play Sing For Your Supper. The title of Mr. and Miss Young High School was given to Ruby Lee Williams and Dewey Lee. Betty Jane Long and Tommy Gilbert were honored by being given the titles of Mr. and Miss Senior Class. The pretty Senior girls who were in the Beauty Parade were Betty Rose Johnson, Virginia Layman, Betty Jane Long, Lois Cogdill, Maridell Frazier, Ruby Lee Williams. Betty Jane Long was honored to be chosen Miss Beauty Queen of the Senior class. Betty Rose johnson, Jean Hilton, Donald Gentry, Bob Johnson, Lowlon Mucke, Libby Franklin, Mary Katherine Larew and Bill Tar- water were in the Thespian play Double Door. As we look over our four high school years, we feel that they have been successful ones. We know that we owe this success to our sponsors and Mr. Duff. He has helped us with our many prob- lems, giving us his assistance and advice. Last but not least, we wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Garrett, who has helped to make our Senior year the most memorable one. Mama,' as she is known to all of us, has been an inspiration and a guiding hand as senior sponsor. Many thanks, Mrs. Garrett, for you are responsible for many precious memories. Twenty-seven
