Class Hislorq We enrolled in school in 1938. At this time Joyce Rowe was a shy, timid creature, if you can imagine such a thing, afraid almost to say her soul was her own. George Litchfield, on the other hand, as he is today, was exactly opposite. Hilton Purser and Eula Hollowell won favor with our teachers by bringing them flowers and apples. Along about the fourth year I seem to have recollections of a dunce cap with which Harry Robinson was more often associated than anyone elseg though Harvey Brothers gave him some strong competition. The period from the fifth on through the eighth year, the members of our class were growing wiser and more alert mentally as well as stronger in body and taller in stature. Curtis Hollowell was shooting upward like a mushroom. During the sixth year, flu and mumps caused some anxiety, and through the seventh and eighth grades another epidemic ran its course that of puppy love. It required strenuous and skillful treatment to overcome it. The most seriously affected, however, were Sybil Peele and Devon Bell, who have not, even to this writing, actually recovered from the malady. Our grammar grade years seem only a vague memory to us now. The mo st glorious and glamorous period in the history of our illustrious class has been that of our high school years. We were an outstanding group from the very be- ginning, but our crowning glory came during the later years. Our home room teachers, to whom we would like to give our sincere appreci- ation for their kindness and help were as follows: Ninth grade--first grade, Mrs. Owen Peele, Ninth grade--second term and also Tenth grade, Mrs. Jack Mc- Williams, Eleventh grade, Miss Frances Wilkinsong and Twelfth grade, Miss Ruth Johnson. Athletics flourished during these eventful years--football, basketball, and baseball, each in its proper season. Football found a champion in Rayfield Lup- ton. Our stars in basketball seem to have been Loyce Bonner, Shelton Bowen, and Malcolm Rowe. In baseball, we had our own Babe Ruth in Wright Overton. Among out talented stars were Ruby Harris, Carroll Sadler, and Chestine Boyd. Ruby, with her delightful voice was talented in the field of singing and Carroll and Chestine, in the field of instrumental music. Two events we will always remember are our Junior and Senior, plays. The Atomic Blonde, which was our Junior play and Who Killed Aunt Caroline ? our Senior play, with the assistance of Miss Johnson, were each a great success. During our Junior year several of us were marshals. We also received our class rings which we still show with pride. Quite a few of our members belonged to the Beta Club, the Aurorian staff, and other clubs, and were school bus drivers. Can you blame us for being proud of our class of 1950? Who is there to challenge that ours has been the more remarkable class that Aurora High School has produced? Thus endeth the history of this wonderful class except for the future influence it may have upon the nation and the world.
