If e X X It H 90 45 ' 1 wibvawai ,tj I I il if if til N l Nw The Daring Young Man, with the cast as follows: Roy Elam, Sussette Wil- son, Amy Dee Rudolph, Allen Rudolph, Iane Harper, Bill Robins, Martha Iane Casper, Charles McDaniel, Houston Casper, Betty Horn, Claudia I. Hill, Gil- bert Cherrick, Ernestine Vincent, Bob Hill, and Anna May Wahl. After the play came the Iunior-Senior reception which was a big success. The gym was beautifully decorated in the theme of a flower garden. The reception was well attended and turned out to be one of the grandest eve- nings ever spent at A-I. The Iunior year also marked another asset to us because of having three boys from the Iunior class - William Doc Aber- nathy, Moon Pickett, and Carroll Goofy Belcher go to the state finals on the A-I basketball team. This year we also had four members of our class inducted into the armed forces. They were as follows: Roy Elam, Marines: Keller Ioiner, Army: Byron Lasley, Armyp and Carl Pickett, Army. The four boys left our school with the entire class backing them with their best wishes. ln September, l943, 93 grave old Seniors entered the portals of A-I to begin their last year of high school. There were many duties ahead of the Seniors this year such as: having their pictures made, preparing for class night, graduation, and many more activities which were to end the last of our high school days. We started out the first of the year by electing class officers. They were as follows: Carroll Belcher, presidentg Bill Abernathy, vice-president: Nancy Davis, secretary: Phyllis Vaughn, treasurer. After this came the appointing by the president of several committees for the different duties to be performed this year. As in the past years, our Senior class was well represented in the field of sports. Many of the Senior boys went out and donned their football and basketball suits to represent A-I for their last time. For our Senior Play, we selected the great Broadway hit, The Man Who Came to Dinner, with the following people in the cast: Sussette Wil- son, Martha I. Casper, Gene Wright, Chares McDaniel, Amy Dee Rudolph, Ann Leib, Anna Iane Duck, Lucille Gunn, Allen Rudolph, Phyllis Vaughn, Ierry Grant, Iean Garrott, Nancy Davis, Leon Sweitzer, Bob Hill, Iane Harper, Gilbert Cherrick, Iack Bizzel, Gerald Engelhart, Carol Henry, Virginia Caraker, Wilberta Eastman, Claudia I. Hill, Millie Mae Brown, and Lovilla McKinney. lt was one of the finest plays with the largest cast that had ever been presented on the A-I stage. This year, we again lost a few of our boys to the armed forces. They were as follows: Norval Kelly, Navy: Laverne Coffman, Army: David Daisy, Navy: and Iack West, Army. Also, many of the Senior boys have enlisted and will soon be ready to fight on the greatest team that has ever been composed, the United States armed forces. May we all wish these boys God's speed and pray they come home soon. Now that most of us have completed our quest of knowledge that we were intending to have, we leave A-I with the feeling that when our time comes to help and work in this great democracy of ours, we will not fail. As our class motto implies, In Ourselves Our Future Lies, let us go forth into the world and strive to do our best and to become the finest citizen that we can become. ...13-
