JUNIORS When the bell rang the last of August thoughts began to run through our dusty minds. As they rambled around among the cob-webs we realize that this was the year in which we would be the next-to-the-top class of high school. By the time spring fever should have hit us again we would be well on our way to the cherished title of Dignified Senior. We should have chosen our ring s for the senior year and have had the glorious privilege of attending the Junior-Senior prom, for which we shall have planned and worked so hard. Aren ' t we the lucky ones? We have lost a few and have gained a few during the years as we have traveled through the wonders of learning, but the majority of us have come all the way together, so we are well acquainted with each other. Our class was well represented in athletics with Bobby Snodgrass, Carl Jessee, Bill Wolfe, Brownie Polly, Kenneth Taylor, Gentry Scroggs, J. B. Beverly, Joe Rush, A. L. Rutherford and John David Revilla on the football squad. Gene Collier served as mana- ger with Jimmy Sanders as his assistant. Of these, Rutherford made the 1st team, All- County, while Jessee was awarded a place on the 2nd team and Polly gained Honorable Mention. Scroggs, Jessee, Revilla. Polly, Wolfe and Collier were also on the basketball squad. On the girls ' team we had Barbara Lane, Joan Nave, Arvella Smith, and Mary Alice Bozzell. Athletics, however, was not the only thing in which we were interested. Barbara Lane, Margaret Ann Livesay, Joan Nave, Marilyn Fair Barker, Joanne Masters, Doris Carter, Jimmy Banks, and Frank Reeder were members of the band. These eight and many more joined the Glee Club when Mr. Gibbs called for the potential songsters of the school. Old Varsity Club members from our class opened their arms to the new members; MISSES Scroggs, Revilla, Beverly, Rush and Collier. Three of our members were on the Safety Patrol. Five wore the Key Club pin this year and were our visible proof of scholarship. We also had quite a few who belonged to the Spanish Club, Roman Club, Camera Club and the Home Economics Club. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Broadwater, our sponsor, for helping us over the rough spots in our Junior Year.
