Pudge D Here’s a blonde, blue-eyed sweetie, with everything from brains to looks. No wonder Betty has so many pals. Coming down the hall with a cheery smile on her face, she greets each and all—sophomores, juniors, and seniors. She is the type that really makes things perk; consequently there is never a dull moment when Betty is around. She’s usually with her best friend, Doris. We know she will be a success in her career as a nurse. Good luck, Betty. BETTY PHELPS We have in our class one of the nicest girls we have ever known. Naturally we mean Donna, the girl with much beauty and ability. Her sparkling eyes and sweet smile have made her a favorite with teachers and students. Donna has promising skill in the fields of art and writing. She is lots of fun and will always lend a helping hand. An asset to the class of ’47 is our D. DONNA POWERS MARY ANN RAULERSON We present Mary Ann, who is one of our all-time favorites. She’s everyone’s friend, in-, deed. Her talents cover just about everything from extreme excellence in sports to prize knitter in the class, with scholarship, popularity, and generosity, all rolled up in between. She has participated in and contributed to nearly every important event our class has encountered; and if you don’t believe her smile is intriguing, just glance at her picture. We wish her luck with her college career. JOYCE ROGERS An all-round girl is Joyce. Besides being the life of first period study hall, always ready for a good time or laugh, she is a member of the Triple Trio, and is a star home-ec student. This is quite a combination, so you shouldn’t be surprised to know she is among our favorite seniors. We all wish her the best of everything, and know she will have it. Impy [29 1 Jo-Jo

Toots Lucy Norma is one of our country lasses, but it didn’t take her long to make many Athens friends. She is always ready for a laugh and is really a swell sport. That Norma can usually be found studying is evidenced by the fact that her name always appears on the honor roll. Norma is an excellent home-ec student and a staunch supporter of the Domecon Club. This cheerful friend of all is lxuind to meet every kind of success. Our Lucille is always well-dressed. She is a pretty girl, neat, intelligent, and friendly. She lias many pals because of her pleasing personality. Her clear skin and beautiful hair bring her many compliments from teachers and classmates alike. She is an industrious, honor roll student. Lucy’s short, (that’s no detriment, even if “he” isn’t), and sweet, (no comparisons to “him” this time) — with a fine start toward a successful future. NORMA PARKS LUCILLE PARMENTER T J -4 fi HARRY PATTERSON DONALD PATTON Bud's Plymouth is usually seen packed full of many “mighty’’ seniors, but where is Bud? Why, under that non-descript hat which he is seldom without, of course. Bud is the fellow who brightens every conversation with his witty sayings and manages to keep everyone in stitches. He is also an officer and very active member of the Hi-Y. We know that Bud will take the high road to success. Who’s that we sec, or should we say hear, coming down the street toward school on his motor controlled bicycle?? We can always tell that it is none other than Bob, by his brightly colored shirt and blonde hair. It seems that two of his favorite pastimes are talking and teasing the girls. He is another returned service man and we wish him the best of everything life can bring. Bud [28] Bob

Fuzzy Onie Sarah is “on the beam.” Unbounded energy makes her an athlete and an all round “live wire.” We think Sarah must like good old Athens High School, of course we all do, but there isn’t one of us that can prove it with a record of ten solid years of regular attendance with very few days absence in the other two years. That certainly is a fine way to start life— keep up the regularity, Sarah. SARAH ROGERS Leona’s devotion to her man is admired by all who know her; for where one is found, likewise the other. Need we say more? Friendliness is dominant in Onie's personality. A one-time soda jerker, and an all-time favorite is Leona, who is always smiling or on the verge of laughter. Her cheery disposition is a boon to our class and we hope that her aims and ambitions arc fulfilled. LEONA ROLLS RAYMOND RUSSELL RAYMOND SHAFFER Small, quiet and packed full of surprises, that’s Bud, our faithful football manager and classmate. Sports and dancing arc his two favorite pastimes. His friendly all-round sporty manner seems to attract many friends, both inside and outside the halls of Athens High. His smile and dark sparkling eyes help to express his magnetic l crsonality. His willingness to help get things done well will take him a long way into a successful future. Bud [ 30 ] Ray, who is one of our many returned service men. has adjusted himself very well here. Much interested in poetry, engraving, and mechanics, he manages to keep busy. You may often see him whizzing down Main Street in his Model A Ford, or into Carps. Ray is another great tease. Does that account for the noise in first period study hall? To you, Ray. we extend the best of luck in mechanical engineering. Ray
