Shown in Coach Stotts' office discussing the 1955 basketball schedule are Miss Peggy Cantrell, Mr. Robert Stotts, and Mr. Hampton Wansley. One of the worthwhile activities of the Future Farmers of America club for the 54-55 session was the making of a cutting bed used for rooting shrubbery to be planted around Aiken High School. The Future Farmers of America boys and Mr. Alvin Hawkins, their adviser, spent much time and energy on this project, which in the future will add to the beauty of the campus. Miss Peggy Cantrell, who was graduated from Furman University with an A.B. degree, coached the girls’ basketball team in AHS for the 54-55 season. A newcomer to AHS, Mr. Robert Stutts coached the football team; he has an A.B. degree from Presbyterian College. Coaching the boys’ basketball team was Mr. Hampton Wansley, a B.A. graduate of Lynchburg College. As winner of the 54-55 Student Council Talent Show, Annetta Spruell received the first place award for her rendition of Lecuona s Malaguena. This award was presented by Council President Dravton Sanders who also r TS announced as second place winner lean Frank I and as third place winner Frances Baker. tf The Dramateers presented as the a n n u a 1 Christmas play The Empty Room. This performance portrayed the story of Christ’s birth in a stable and the story of the room which was left empty because of the selfish innkeeper’s waiting for a wenlthv king.

Barlow has an A.B. degree from Coker College. Mr. John B. Eubanks, who graduated from Clemson College with a B.S. degree, teaches algebra at AHS. A former student of Mr. Eubanks, Mrs. Betty Owen, teaches advanced algebra and geometry; she has an A.B. from Coker College. Another algebra teacher is Mr. Carroll Courtney, having an A.B. degree from Wofford College. A B.S. graduate of Appalachian State Teachers College, Mrs. Betty Frazier teaches first and second year algebra. Oh! Oh! Seniors! Mrs. Owen is fumbling with her ring again. It’s plain to see that order must be maintained quickly, because next come the book against the cabinet, a “few” words, and then that whisper, “All right class, on page . . .” In this picture Don Wheeler, Fred Cavanaugh, Fred Maxwell. Nancy Putman, and Cecil Etherredge are paying attention for a change, but Annetta Sprtiell is just natural! Yum! yum—is everybody invited to join you, girls? It surely does look good! The girls are preparing dinner for themselves in the ultra-modern home economics department. Mrs. Smith is their instructor and chief sampler—one job no one would object to having. During the last week of June, 1954, while many students were at the beach or just plain, taking it easy, George Wilson and Dale Hagen were attending Boys’ State in Columbia. The purpose of Boys’ State is to prepare the youth of today to take places in government and society as intelligent voters. In a series of classes held every morning for a week, Dale and George learned all about national, state, county, and city governments. One of the highlights of the week was an inspiring talk by former Governor James F. Byrnes.

Look shot, feel shot, he shot; that’s Mike Collins burning up the keys. He would rather bum Mrs. Bobo. It’s four-thirty-five in the afternoon and Mrs. Bobo wants that English term paper by midnight. His sleepy look is a “left over from last night’s vigil. Good luck, Mike! Seen ready for action are the girls that operate the student bank. Seated left to right are Joyce LeGrande, Patsy Duke, Anne Treadaway, Joellen Owens, Margie Gordon, and Barbara Eckel. Standing left to right are Miss Cato, adviser of the group, Carolyn Goodwin, Mary Frances Day, Gail Swanner, Barbara Wright, Max Coleman, Betty Durham, and Mary Gomillion. Mrs. Christine Forrester, one of the AHS English teachers, has an A.B. degree from Howard College and an M.A. degree from the University of Kentucky. An English and French teacher, Mrs. Margaret Bobo has an A.B. degree from Newberry College. An A.B. graduate of Erskine College and an M.A. graduate of Emory University, Mrs. Helen Butler teaches Latin and French. Mrs. Ernestine Law, who has an A.B. degree from Winthrop College, teaches English. Having a B.S. degree from Bob Jones University, Mrs. Ann Casey is a teacher of English and Speech. Another English teacher, Mrs. Flora Meadows, has an A.B. degree from Marshall College. That’s it! Throw caution to the wind just this once and let those papers go. Enjoying a quick game before getting down to the grind of correcting papers are Mrs. Bobo. Mrs. Butler, Miss Gunter, and Miss Barlow. When the language teachers—Mrs. Christine Forrester, Mrs. Margaret Bobo, Mrs. Helen Butler, Mrs. Ernestine Law, Mrs. Ann Casey, and Mrs. Flora Meadows—get together to enjoy a “coke”, one wonders if they really speak English.
