(Not Pictured) Weil, our great and glorious Junior year is over and now that we’ve accomplished the first eleven years with great vim and vigor, wcTe ready to reign the coming year as Seniors 69! In order to get a good class started off on the right foot you've got to first elect good leaders and the wise old owls of our class put their heads together with a “whoo” and finally came up with some answers. For President, we chose Holly Bridwell; Gene Kimbrell was elected Vice-President; Marsha Floyd Fox. Secretary; and JoEtta Whitford. Reporter. Of course how could we forget our great sponsors Betty Binyon Lewis and Travis Anthony. Our class was quite active and participated in many activities throughout the year. We had fifteen girls and five boys enrolled in Music. The Senior High Double Sextet was composed of four Junior girls. They were Teresa Wilson. DecAnn McKinney. Danicc McDonald, and Holly Bridwell. These same four girls, incidentally, took solos to contest and did quite well. Teresa rated II at District. DeeAnn rated I at District and a II at State. Danicc a II at District, and Holly a 1 at District and 1 at State. Danice McDonald served the Mixed Chorus as Treasurer and Holly Bridwell held the office as Secretary and Reporter. Eight of our boys went out for football. These eight were Jerry Pickard. Wayne Pierce, Wiley Pierce, Hal Dennis, Danny McIntyre, Gene Kimbrell, Ken McDonald, Larry Brooks. Jerry Pic ard. Wayne Pierce. Hal Dennis, Gene Kimbrell, and Larry Brooks were our pride as they made the main string. Of these boys, three went out for basketball Jerry Pickard. Wayne Pierce and Wiley Pierce. In baseball, Wayne Pierce put glimmer in our eyes when he received the All-Conference Award and Jerry Pickard received Honorable Mention. Three others including Wiley Pierce, Gene Kimbrell, and Larry Brooks were fine contributors to the 1968 team. Our girls going out for basketball were Sue Lee, Linda Lee, DeeAnn McKinney. Donna Huffman, and Holly Bridwell. We had two girls to play as forwards on the main string. They were Holly Bridwcll and Sue Lee. Our girls were quite active in FHA. Joyce East served as Treasurer, Linda Lee as Historian, DeeAnn McKinney as Song Leader. JoEtta Whitford as Parlimentarian, and Holly Bridwell as Secretary. While our girls were active in FHA, our boys did fine in FFA. Jerry Pickard served the group as Reporter and Danny McIntyre took good care of the chapter’s money in his role as Treasurer. At the FFA Banquet. Danny McIntyre received the Hog Production Award and Jerry Pickard won the Farm Mechanics Award. Academically we showed up fine! Joyce East carried away the American History and Woodmen of the World Awards. DeeAnn McKinney received the Typing II Awrard, Wayne Pierce won the baseball award, and Holly Bridwell received the Music Award Three members of our class were listed in the High School State Honor Society: DeeAnn McKinney. Joyce East, and Holly Bridwell. Joyce East received the Scholarship Award from the Junior Class. May it always be said that the 1968 Junior Class was a class of beautiful girls. DeeAnn McKinney was elected by the FFA as their sweetheart, and we chose Kay Shannon to be our Football Queen Attendant. Out of the three girls our class elected as Annual Queen Attendants we came in terrifically. Marsha Floyd Fox was chosen as Queen, JoEtta Whitford was selected to be the Princess, and Danice McDonald was First Runner Up. How’s that for picking winners? All in all we have had a doggone good year and we closed this year by giving the Senior class a nice banquet. Our theme was patriotic and all of the hard work put into this production showed up great. We ended the year with $592.00 and we feel quite pleased with ourselves, thanks mainly to Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Anthony who have been great sponsors the last five years Watch out for us this coming year! Looks like we’ve a lot ahead of us ... we hope. 16
