The most wonderful word in the English language in meaning, in promise, in fulfillment. The most wonderful thing about it was, of course, that it applied to us, the graduating class of 1953. After eleven long years of hard work fmore for othersj we had finally earned the right to be called Seniors! We were sitting on top of the world and smiling benevolently on the poor lower class- men. What did they know of life? Nothing! Of course we knew it all, or thought we did anyway. It didn't seem possible that we were Seniors until that magic day when a notice appeared on the bulletin board saying, Rings are here. We all went around that day with our hands poked stiffly out in front of us to better admire the beauti- Senior Class Officers! .Benson DBYHYI Sef- ful things known as Our Class Rings . Have you seen and Tren george 55091111 Pfesldenff -711113 our Class Rings? was heard up and down the hall as Mashbum' V'ce'P'eS'dent- lower class men ohed and ahed over the miraculous circlets of gold. Then we had to choose our projects for the year. It was unanimously decided to build a new field house and we set to work to raise the money for this expensive undertaking. The proceeds from the lunch room and the magazine sale went to the field house fund. We also sponsored a Senior Play, the first in many years. We all enjoyed working on the play under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Echols. The name of the play was 'iHillbilly Weddin and the main characters were: Paw Belsnickle, George Scoging Maw Belsnickle, Joan Wrenn, Junie Lou Belsnickle, Sarah Thompson, Bonnie Mae Belsnickle, Julia Mashburng Ceelie Belsnickle, Carolyn Whiteg Four Belsnickle, Carol Nallg Five Belsnickle, Patty White, Six Bensnickle, Virgia Hinoteg Obeey Upschlager, Johnnie Deerg Chiz Uuschlager, Neal Presley, Mrs, Maxwell, Martha Lylesg Ronald Maxwell, Tommy Jayeg Preacher, Eugene Simsg Cousin Zeke, Luther Young, Cousins, Kathleen Stiers, Jean Reid, J. W. Tolbert, Valeria Kilcrease, and Annice Carraway. Next thing on the agenda was the selection of the invitations and name cards. There was much controversy over the invitations but finally everyone agreed and we sent our order off. Then, Senior Privileges, and we really took them! What fun to sit out in the sun during study hall and see envious faces pressed against the windows. All of a sudden it was almost the end of the year and we had numerous parties to go to and last minute things to clear up such as tests for those who weren't exempt. Our invitations came and we ran around gathering cards of fellow graduates and giving our own away right and left. Sign my book please , was the cry from many throats as we frenziedly ran around getting auto- graphs. Oh what a glorious day we spent at the Gulf on the Senior Party! It rained the Whole way down and those who rode on the back of the truck got soaked! But it cleared up when we arrived at the Casino and the rest of the day was pretty. Graduation practice! We all joked as we lined up to practice walking in a dignified manner down the aisle in the Grammar School Aud.g but we joked with lumps in our throats, for our time was drawing nigh. Many thoughts ran through our heads as we listened to the inspiring sermon. 'iHave I really done my best? Am I ready to be out on my own? I wish I had studied harder than Idid . All these went racing through our minds and we began to wish we had a little more time. The next night was Graduation and we really were nervous! We tried to cover it up, but our steps were a trifle unsteady as we held our heads high and marched slowly onto the football field where the exercises were to be held. As Mr. Daniels called our names and we went forward to re- ceive our diplomas our thoughts were of the present instead of the future and we lived fully that proud moment when we became High School Graduates! We wanted one last gathering of all of us before we went our separate ways,-some to college, some to work, some to Uncle Sam, and some to a married lifeg so we all gathered at Ratcliffs,' for our final fling. We really flang that fling till it was all flung out! So ended our last year at B.C.H.S. We all hated to leave but we realize it is up to us and all the graduates all over the country to make this country and this world a better place in which to live and we accept our responsibilities with heads held high and a firm-set step as we venture forth toward new horizons.

That was the standard cry last fall when the 1952-53 session of B. C. H. S. opened. By the end of the first semester it was only to easy to believe. The classes were harder and teachers expected more of us Csometimes they got less.J During the first semester nothing happened to signify that we were really on the road to graduating. Time plodded slowly on after foot- ball season. In fact it ltimel almost came to a standstill. After Christmas holidays and after recuperating from mid-term exams, things be- gan to pick up. We chose our class rings twice. Yes, you may believe your eyes, twice! There was such a squabble over the first choice that we had to start all over again. We also began watching with interest how the seniors reacted to being seniors! Don't laugh! We were think- ing, Will we act that way next year? We had worried all year about the Junior- Senior Prom and banquet. Finally the time came when our worries became realities. Some IOR of the questions asked by the very intelligent UD food committee! How much does that five pound ham weigh? How much does it cost to buy a twenty cent box of napkins? Finally the big night arrived. Did the moon beam brightly on so famous an occasion? Did the stars shine romantically? No! lt rained. fMild understatementj It poured! The theme was Mother Goose. Catherine Earl, dressed as Mother Goose, served as Mistress of Ceremonies. After that momentus occasion came final exams. Horrible thought! ln passing, we will say a kind word for the poor souls who fell by the wayside while braving the Wilds of chem- istry, second year algebra, French, English, Am- erican History . . . At last came the class picnic. We shared our truck with the sophomores, who were bound for Little River State Park. At the park, oh well, we shall leave that to your imagination. We will say in closing that we are looking forward to being seniors after a summer's rest from being juniors.

Many of her students became Beta Club Members and others joined different clubs they had long been waiting to get in the swing of. especially the Camera Club with Miss Leonard as advisor. Those work nights in the laboratory were hair-raising nights for her. The election of class officers was the next thing that took some thinking about. The class had a hard time getting a majority between two well fitted students for president, Earl Stephens and Bob Reid. Earl Stephens was finally elected to represent the whole class. A member from each home-room to represent the Student Council was next on the list. The co- operation from the Sophomores was great on the new hall traffic set up by the Student Council. The members of the Glee Club had a wonderful year working with Miss Roundtree. Every minute of it was enjoyed, especially the trip to Murphy for the contest. By the way, our Glee Club didn't get a bad rating at all. thanks to Miss Roundtree. Many Soph girls had the pleasure of taking piano from the new teacher Miss Peterson. Those Sunday afternoon practices before the recital were the hi-lites of the year. Selling hot-dogs at the football games was the means of making money for the annual Sophomore Hop which was a big success and loads of fun. The OF OUR LIVES girls all volunteered to help make the hot-dogs but the boys were slow about wanting to sell them during the game. They couldn't sell hot-dogs and watch football at the same time. but we managed to have a grand dance. The decorations were beautiful, carry- ing out the Blue Christmas theme. which really wasn't blue at all. The mellow strains of the school orchestra made the occasion all the more pleasant, The Science Club was loads of fun for those Sophomores who had never visited north Alabama. Rumors were out that many new acquaintances were made. especially some of the Sophomore girls. Huh. Martha? Onward Betas was the war cry around the first of April for it was Beta Convention time. All those that didn't go really missed a wonderful time. To end a most successful year the four sections had their class picnic at Little River State Park. The swimming was grand although it was a little on the chilly side and the eats were delish. The whole Sophomore Class owes its success, good times and hard work to the four home-room teachers, Miss Nichols. Mrs. Noonan. Mrs. Milam and Mr. Jones. Never under estimate the power of a Sophomore for they were to be found everywhere. Beta Conven- tion, Science Convention. Glee Club and Band parties and many more B. C. H. S. activities. Really the Sophomores are a very versatile group. A dance scene at the Sophomore Hop. ff? f Catherine shows some of the sophomore biology students how to take a blood test. Ouch!

Seriously. though. the freshmen have had a busy year. They have joined more clubs. at- tended more dances. feven had a dance of their ownfj took part in more sports. and in general been a bigger part of ole B. C. H. S. There are three Freshmen homerooms-Mr. Echols, Mr. Jones. and Mrs, Stough. All three rooms were filled to capacity, this being one of the largest classes. Mr. Echol's homeroom won the attendance prize at P.T.A. every time. To celebrate Backwards Week Moonyene helps Neal off with his coat and Nancy takes Billy Joe's books. The band took on many new members this past year. The majority of these were freshmen. When Mr. Papenbrock took five members to Tuscaloosa to be in an all-state band. three of the members were freshmen. They were Jerry Max Barnes. Charles Aylin and Neil White. The freshmen decided to put on their own big blow-out idancej. They staged the Fresh- men Frolic. The theme was Singing in the Rain. This was carried out by umbrellas and rain Chow oddfl. The decorations and all the work was done bv the ninth graders and did they have a good time! Chubby fills J'ean's cup while Linda, Piggy, Hope, and Allison wait patiently at the Freshmen Frolic .

J f 'G EIGHTH GRADE The eighth grade officers for the 52-53 session were: reading from left to right, Betty Jo Heaton, Secretary and Treasurer: Shirley Caprara, Vice Pres.: Toni Bodden, Pres. When the doors of Baldwin County High School opened last fall. a large group of joyful students entered the doors. They were joyful because they were no longer seventh graders. They were very proud. They were no longer the Hyoungstersi' of B. C. H. S. Several of the eight graders were in the band, They always were glad to get out of class, always. During Mardi Gras they were over- joyed. Out of class for at least two days! Each section of the eighth grade had a representative in the student council. This made the eighth graders very proud. They were really considered a part of dear Hole B. C. H. S. The eighth graders, as a whole, enjoyed a very successful year. They worked hard Cnot too hardj, they played harder ta lot harderj, and in general, did all that was expected of them as sophisticated eight graders. Even though they sincerely enjoyed their year as eighth graders. 15.2525 gas- WQQZF' nm 'Tv-+1 07714 :5 rv --gag Og-fam 5 595553 gi-v 'Dj' MO 7J'cfc.,.,c 1-'C 'D-3555 145 OE Q.,'2.m FDD F5033 333 FP ITG 149: ... dogg.. gg l'V' ,J,.m,.S:-v L.. f3.C-.5S' E22 i-19:14 .CL 3?

The seventh graders were a big help with the Crippled Childrens Drive. They collected quite a lot of money and became very interested in this sort of work. Mr. Barlow's math classes organized and elected a chairman. He allowed them to run their own classes. They made several trips to the bank and post office to learn more about the business world, All in all the seventh graders feel that they have had a wonderful year. They are looking forward to next year. when they will be more sure of themselves. Pl un 2. F3 us 2 F' un E 31 L. Catrett B. Chandler P. Chastang D. Chesnutt D. Corley J. Davis E. Davison B. Day L.

So the club has quite a large membership for a club of its type. The club had a successful year under the leadership of their president Morgan Little, vice-president, Neal Presleyg secretary, Carolyn Whiteg treasurer, Patty White. For the past year the club chose as its project learning how to develop photographs. The club met two nights a month in Miss Leonard's room to use her darkroorns. At the end of the year the Camera Club always held a contest in which every member was supposed to participate. The bulletin board of the stackroom was chosen as the place to exhibit the photographs. Each member was required to take their own picture, after choosing an original subject. They also had to develop their own pictures and enlarge them if they wished them enlarged. Morgan Little was official photographer for the annual and his work in the Camera Club came in t'handy . And so, if you meet any people in the hall next year, and if they say to you, tclick, click , or watch the birdie', et cetera, you will know it is only a poor innocent Camera Club member.

This club affords the student with opportunities for social life as well as giving Lim training in special Jobs. The Baldwin County High School D. O. Club is affniated with the state ijiveisiiwd occ. pations Club. and each year a convention is held. This year one of the highlights was that the Bay Mlnette club was host to the convention which was held in the grammar school auditorium. The entire school was allowed to attend one session of the convention. They enjoyed several skits. oratorical contests. and the announce- ment of the winners of the Miss D. O. contest. Eliz- abeth Quinley. from Bay Minette, placed second in the contest. Each year the club takes on itself to sponsor a project. This year their project was the school paper, B. C. H. S. Hi-Lites. Members from the club were on the staff. At the end of the year the D. O. Club had a ban- quet at the school cafeteria The members could invite their parents and their employers.

G ,E , CLI B The Junior Glee Club's membership is made up of students from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Miss Estelle Rountree directs this club also. The junior glee clubbers learn how to read music and to follow Miss Rountree as she leads them. There were no boys in this club. All of the members were girls, that's logical. isn't it? At the beginning of the year they worked on simple songs and as the year progressed the songs became harder and harder. After the first semester they began working in earnest for the Easter Sunrise Service and the Spring Concert, which was held jointly with the senior high glee club. At the Easter Sunrise service they joined the senior glee club for an appro- priate medley of songs, At the Spring Concert, the junior high glee club featured several songs such as: I Got Shoes , Swing Low Sweet Chariot . in which a solo was sung by Pauline Eubanks. The Junior and senior glee clubs joined at the close of the concert to sing the beautiful song t'You'll Never Walk Alone . .GLEE CL Miss Estelle Rountree directed the senior glee club last year. The club was made up of students from the tenth. eleventh and twelfth grades. The accompanists for the group were Ann Zehner and Virginia Gay. At the first of the year. if you passed the glee club room during fourth period. you would hear hideous groans and moans. If you passed by every day during the year the groans and moans would turn to creaks and squeaks and finally at the end of the year beautiful melodies would float on the breeze. There were two special groups that would sing at various occasions during the year. These groups were a girls trio and quintet. The trio was made up of Marietta Barnes, Patty White. and Joyce Grimes. The quintet was made up of Carolyn White, Patty White. Joyce Grirnes, Marietta Barnes, and Joyce Davis. The other groups were a boys trio and an- other group of six. This trio was made up of Jerry Max Barnes, Charles Aylin, and Clyde Barnes. The Spring Concert was held April the sixteenth. The senior and junior glee clubs gave a joint con- cert. Some of the more famous songs sung by the seniors were, On the Road to Mandalay , Erie Canal . Careless Love , in which Marietta Barnes soloed, All the Things You Are , and Indian Sum- mer .

Mrs. Stough. librarian for B. C. H. S.. served as sponsor and gave the club many helpful suggestions on various projects for the year. One of the many 175 projects of the Library Club was to interest the students in reading some of the classics. They did this by giving a skit from Ivanhoe at one assembly program. With the Key Club serving as co-sponsors. the Library Club put on a wonderful hobby show. This show was participated in by students of both Junior and Senior high. The art work was particularly good. wasrrt it. boys? S CL The d'gnified Music Club offcers: Julia Eiash- burn, Julianna Fail, Carolyn Gamble. Marilyn Gunter, and Kathleen Stiers. seated.

Marilyn Gunter. have to preside in the president's absence. During the various meetings of the year. several parties were discussed and postponed. discussed and postponed. et cetera. Finally. a definite date was decided on. At last. the party was held at Alice Fraser's home one April night. The theme for the year was Music to Remem- ber. Throughout the year various programs were given'on music that will live forever in the minds of true music lovers. CBeethoven Music Clubbers, for examplefi Seriously. though. the members feel that the club had a very successful year as a whole. The mem- bers of the Beethoven Music Club would like to say good-bye to the Seniors, who left this year and to thank them for the part they had in making the club successful. They would also like to thank Miss Linda Peter- son for taking over the club after Mrs. Mason re- signed.

H. A. stand for? Future Home- wreckers of America? No. Future Homemakers of America. This club is made up of girls from the home economics classes. Their aim is to learn more methods of managing their future homes. This was a successful year for the club under the leadership of Martha Lyles, president. with Ben- nie Vaughn serving as vice-president: Sarah Thomp- 3 'v- 3 son as secretary and Glennis McGill as treasurer. Miss Doris Crawford was their sponsor. The club won first prize at a County meeting in Robertsdale with an exhibit on how to make wall- paper pictures. The club also sponsored an Avondale fashion show. The members modeled the clothes. and oh, well . , . Lunell Duck was elected Miss F. H. A. for Bay Minette and represented the club at Robertsdale.

A. Spread The F. F. A. fFuture Farm- ers of Americaj is made up of boys who take vocational agri- culture. The purpose of the club is the development in the student the qualities of agri- cultural leadership, citizen- ship, cooperation and patriot- ISITI. The F. F. A. sold soft drinks and hot dogs at the concession stands during football season. This money was put in their treasury and used for various projects during the year. At the end of the year the club had their F, F. A. ban- quet. When Mr. Tharp was hon- ored at the football stadium, the F. F. A. joined the F. H. A. in planning and making a float to be in the parade. cc 77 The B Club is made up of the players of the three major sports that have lettered. The sports are football, basketball and baseball. The officers of the club are Archie Presley, presi- dentg Milton Wilson, secretaryg R. L. Morris, treasurer. Coach Campbell was their sponsor. The club started off the year by electing the above officers. Then football season took up most of their time. At meetings during that season the only thing that could be heard sound- ed something like this: You remember at the Foley game, when I made that punt. or That was a great play during the first quarter of the second halff, etc. After football season the club 'B' CL asked several boys to become members of the club. Out of about three or four boys only one made all the requirements land lived through initiation!J This was Bobby Pannone. He de- served to be a member strictly for going through initiation. Too funny to recount here, We leave it to your imagination . . . The cheerleaders always become honorary members of the HB Club. Perhaps cheerlead- ing is considered a sport. It exercises the muscles. throat muscles, that is. The cheerlead- ers for the last year were Joyce Davis, Carolyn White, Patty White fhead cheerleaderj, Mary Lois Taylor, Marietta Barnes and Joyce Grimes.

These women were Mrs. Emma Mason and Miss Linda Peterson. Mrs. Mason and Miss Peterson also served as co-sponsors for the Beethoven Music Club. During the year the average music student takes two lessons a week. He supposedly prac- tices every day. Everyone who takes music is expected to be able to play at various functions during the year. During the first year of study the student becomes acquainted with the keyboard by con- stantly practicing finger drills. and scales. After this they go into a more advanced study. They begin studying the -old masters. They learn notation. And a few of the more brilliant people DE begin composing little pieces of their own. Soon they begin studying the modern classics. The more the student practices the more advanced work is available to the student. Since practice makes perfect, the student practices and practices and practices. The teach- er points out the mistakes and encourages the pupil to do better at each lesson. Finally the end of the year comes and with it comes the recital. By this time the pupil supposedly has has piece down pat . The recital begins, the pupils line up excitedly. They await their time anxiously. Finally the big moment arrives, the pupil steps up on the stage, seats himself and starts playing. At last it's over. The applause comes, he takes his bow and leaves the stage. School is out for the music student. Left to right: Mary Louise Bankster, Martha Earle, Florence Chunn.

To put .it bluntly, Boy did I get fooled! My job of overseeing was done away with at the first of the year. As the time passed, and quickly too, I began to see and understand what a tremendous task edit- ing a yearbook is. Oh why didn't I listen to the friends who told me I didn't know what I was getting into, I moaned as time flew and little was being done. I saw that if the students were to have an annual in 1953 I'd have to get to work and fast! I gave Morgan Little a long list of pictures to be taken and pestered him until all were taken. Some of us took a trip to Mobile to sell ads and came home slight- ly discouraged. It seemed as though none was ad- vertising this year. We had to make money some- where, but where? We sold football programs, ads. annuals, and sponsored several dancesg Mr. and Miss B. C. H. S. Dance, Who's Who Dance, and the May Queen election and Dance. All were a success and the money began to come slowly in. We bought a camera with the money left over from last year's annual and poor Morgan worked on it all year. Something was always wrong, either with the flash unit or the film pack. However, we did get plenty of pictures, as you can see by leafing through the book. Sell those annuals, sell those annuals , I kept yelling at the sales staff all year long, and sell them they did. Luther Young was a ball of fire and sold more than any of the rest of the staff. I should like to thank all those who helped the sales staff and say that we all appreciated it very much. I also wish to thank Ann Zehner for helping with the write-ups and with a lot of other things, Julia 1955 Balcoalaz Staff Kathleen Stiers Business Manager Morgan Little Photographer Carolyn Gamble Literary Editor Johnny Deer Sports Editor Betty Bryant Bookkeeper George Scogin Sales Manager Luther Young Best Salesman Catherine Earl Martha Earl Elizabeth Quinley Julia Faye Bryant Betty Ruth Quinley Emogene Quinley Neal Presley Salesmen Mrs. Ella Mae Smith Faculty Advisor Editor Mashburn for making the various posters when they were needed during the year, Catherine Earl for doing such a good job with the sales staff and taking over when George Scogin broke his ankle. George Stough, Alice Frazer, Moonyene Stokely, and Ann Bolon for helping with the ads, and all the other people who helped make the annual possible. I wish to extend my heart-felt appreciation and gratitude for everything Mr. Daniels has done this year, for without his co-operation the success of the annual would be impossible. I also wish to thank all the other teachers for their co-operation. Toward the end of the year, everyone began ask- ing when this so-called annual was going to be fin- ished. It began to look as though it was going to be August before I finished it but I cheerfully said, Oh, about June I guess. After school was out I was still plugging away, trying to meet the deadline I had set for myself. Slowly but surely I was accomplishing something. Working until 1:00 A.M. and going to Mobile every week it finally looked as though we were going to have an annual after all. Now that it is finished, I await your comments eagerly, for it is for you that I have sweated and worried all year over a book worthy to be put on the shelf with your treasured possessions. I make no apologies for I have done my best and that is all anyone can do, but I do hope you like it and will enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed working on it for you. I C0073 f fl'67Z9Z K Editor-in-chief -32- From the Pboiogmpber When I again accepted the job of Photographer, I thought I had had it under Bettye Anne's whip, but when I started shooting away for Joan, I KNEW I had had it! Joan has been a very understanding and working Editor. She has kept me busy, which is the Editor's job, and has helped on every other phase of the Annual work. Many were the days when I walked into the office and Mr. Daniels said, 'tWhat is this big bill here, and what is in that big box that came for the Annual? When I stopped shaking in my boots I would explain the necessity of flash bulbs and films for the many pictures for the Annual. Then he would smile and calmly write a check to pay for them lon the Annual's money of coursej. Many were the nights and afternoons I spent in the dark room processing the pictures and the hours spent Working on the staff's camera at football, basketball, baseball games, dances, parties, etc., but at the last moment I would get it fixed and my work would begin. Many were the people that co-operated with me to get the pictures needed: my teachers, Mr. Daniels, namely, who let me out of class all the time, and all of the students who would patiently hold a pose While I worked on the staff's camera. I would also like to thank The Baldwin Times for the use of their camera and darkroom. Without the co-oper- ation of all these people, my job would have been impossible. Here's hoping I will receive the same co-operation from many of the same people next year. 'MVS imhf' , -47 ,...-f' MORGAN S. LITTLE Photographer From the Staff After school was out everyone probably thought the work on the Balcoala was over, but that was the time when the staff had to work the hardest, because time would soon be up and much more work had tokbe done. Work that every member of the staff hopes the students 1 e, We have strived hard to make this book what you have been want- ing.

Pinky Williams had complete charge of the boys and really Worked hard with them. The year started out in a bad way when one of the players, George Scogin, broke his ankle sliding Nhome in the first game of the season. Poor George didn't get to play in any more games this year. The boys won the county championship this year and went on to the district finals, The district is divided into two sectionsg the eastern section and the western section. We won the eastern section by beating Evergreen and T. R. Miller. Grove Hill won the western section. We lost the district championship by losing to Grove Hill 9 to 4. The team's success is due to Coach Williams' good supervision and the boy's spirit and team- work. Only five of the boys are graduating but they are among the best on the team. Nevertheless, We expect great things of next yearis team. Wtih the scores of the 1953 ses- sion before them as inspiration they should do as well or better than their predecessors. T' .gfiivf-. .

TEN O This was the first year B. C. H. S. has ever had tennis instruction and a Tennis Team. Mr. Edward Barlow, a new teacher at B, C. H. S., tried to get a good team started but the boys didn't get around to practicing until the school year was almost over. Mr. Barlow and Mr. Don Papenbrock, Assistant Instructor, worked hard with the boys and a lot of progress was made. Games were scheduled with McGill, Fairhope, and Pensacola but those with Fairhope and Pensacola were cancelled. McGill won the first game 7-2. and the second one 7-0. -99- Those who went out for tennis this year were: R. L. Morris, Jimmy Chancelor, Earl Stephans, Milton Wilson, Billy Jones, Neal Pres- ly, Piggy Byrnes, Henry Postma, Jerry Barnes, and Merton Middleton. We should have a good team next year if the boys work hard. Letters will be awarded in '54 for tennis.
