JUNIOR ACTIVITIES We, the Junior Class of 1950 and 1951, have had a very busy and successful year. We began the year by electing Donald Bowser, president; Dorothy Thomson, vice president; S, T. Flowers, treasurer; Anne Roberson, secretary; La Moyne Pybas, class reporter; and Gordon Vaughan, sponsor. Because Anne dropped out of school, we elected Maxine Creswell as secretary for the second semester. Into extracurricular activities we have entered whole-heartedly. During the football season, we thrilled to many passes Don Waggoner hurled. Also, we enjoyed the great work of the other boys from our class; Donald Bowser, Pruitt Lewis, Amos Mahurin, S. T. Flowers, and Ray Ward displayed talent on the football field. There are a number of the girls in the pep club, and Jo Ann Bingaman was elected one of the cheerleaders. During basketball season, we often held our breath until Ray Ward made one of his famous shots; we marveled at some of the plays made by Donald Bowser, S. T. Flowers, and Pruitt Lewis. We would all like to pat Dorothy Thomson on the back (gently). She was the only junior girl on the girls’ basketball team. The Juniors prefer brunets for Queens. Jo Ann Bingaman, one of our charming brunets, was nominated for Football Queen of 1950. Kathryn McDaniel, brunet also, was nominated as the Junior contestant for Annual Queen from our class, and Dorothy Thomson, definitely brunet, was nominated candidate for F. F. A. Sweetheart from the Junior Class. If that’s not proff that we like brunets, we are not the Junior Class of 1950 and 1951. We earned money in various ways for the Junior-Senior Banquet given late in April in honor of the Senior Class. We received part of the money earned in the Queen race; we worked in the concession stands during basketball season; and we gave a play. All of the class worked very hard to produce our play, Murder with Orchids. ” Also, we were allowed one hobo-day. The money earned was used to finanace the trip taken by the Junior Class. During this busy year we had five outstanding students who made the honor roll. They are: Anne Roberson, Dorothy Thomson, S. T. Flowers and Donald Waggoner. Anne Roberson received the scholarship award this year for the Junior Class. We are looking forward eagerly to next year, and hope that it will be as much fun as this year has been.
