The Peptomist The Voice of the Panther AMORY HIGH SCHOOL. AMORY. MISSISSIPPI. MONDAY. DECEMBER It. 1 72 Nostalgia Evident in Election There are often memories of high school days that dominate the rest. “I’ll always remember the good athletic teams we had when I was in high school. My sophomore year our basketball team went to the state tournament, and my junior year our football team went to a bowl game,” remi-nised Debbie. “But most important, I’ll remember the friends that I made throughout my high school years. Larry will always remember the experiences he had as a member of the Panther Football team. After graduation Larry plans to attend college and major in physical education. He hasn’t decided the particular college. Before going to the University of Mississippi and majoring in math, Debbie plans to attend IJC for two years. The student body selected these two from a ballot of students who acquired a petition with fifteen signatures. Nan Elliott, Sheila Smith, Lori English, Merilee McKinney, and Debbie competed for the title of Miss AHS. David Darden, Sammy Haskell, and Larry ran for the position of Mr. AHS. After the first ballot was cast, neither of the candidates received a majority of the student vote. A run-off was held between David and Larry; Debbie and Sheila. Larry and Debbie came out on top. Debbie, Larry selected as Who’s Who Elite “It is something that rarely occurs in a school’s history, and I am grateful that the student body selected Debbie Clement and me to make this coincidence happen in Amory High School’s history,” remarked Larry Palmer, Amory High’s new Mr. AHS. Larry is referring to the year 1952, when his father, Mr. Dickie Palmer, and Debbie’s mother, Mrs. Rosemary Wiygul Clement, were chosen Mr. and Miss AHS. The student body chose Larry and Debbie, like their parents 21 years ago, as its ideal students in an election with all grades voting. Throughout her four years of high school, Debbie has participated in Y-Teens, Mississippi Junior Historical Society, Spanish Club Peptomist staff, and A-Club. She served as sophomore class favorite, a cheerleader for three years, vice president of FBLA this year, and senior homecoming maid. Larry is a member of FBLA, French Club, Mississippi Junior Historical Society, and A-Club. He was selected vice president of Hi-Y, sports editor of the Panorama; he has lettered two years as wingback and defensive back on the Panther Football team.
