Kerry Scott Goodlett Debbie Green Double Trouble A good sense of humor as well as an outgoing per- sonality earned Jeannie Waldridge and Billy Beasley the titles of Class Clowns. When asked about how she felt winning the title, Jeannie replied, It means a great deal because I have gotten in trouble all these years for clowning around and now I have a reason; it is my job, Although active in band, Jeannie is known mostly for her shenanigans both inside and outside the classroom. Jeannie said that she feels her laugh and personality and her ability to make everything a joke lets her get away with mur- der. The teachers chose the nominees, not the stu- dents, therefore it was not just a popularity contest, said Billy Beasley about the superlative voting. Billy also said that he was glad to win the title but that he wouldn't have been disappointed if he had lost. Al- though not actively involved in many clubs or school related activities, Billy is still known by everyone for his cheerful disposition. Billy and Jeannie earned the title class clowns be- cause of their outgoing personalities and sense of hu- mor. Dewey Gregory Shannon Grider Jerry Grugin Robert Gullett Seniors 85
