As the school year draws to a close, we the class of 1951, find ourselves at last seniors. The reality of it dawns on us and along with a feeling of joy and thankfulness we feel a tinge of regret. Then before we know it our thoughts begin to wander hack through the years. In 1947 Boonville High was a scene of much confusion for fifty-five freshmen. We were new in high school and amazed at its difference from grammar school. Seventeen of the members of our class joined us from Fall Creek. We were divided into two sections with Mr. Brown in charge of the girls and Mr. Walker in charge of the boys. At the end of the year we had a class party in the gvm. As school started again we entered as Sophomores. Although we had lost fifteen members of our class, a part of us were determined to go on and make good. This year the girls and boys were un- der the leadership of Mr. Pardue and Miss Day. We were very proud of our hoys for winning the basketball championship in high school. We began our Junior year with a little more interest because we had many things to anticipate Our class was getting smaller for now we only had twenty-nine members. Mrs. Reece was in charge of us this year. Our class officers were: President, Harold Lakey; Vice-President, Jimmy Sapp; Secre- tary and Treasurer, Betty Baker. Everyone enjoyed getting up the Junior play, a comedy, entitled “The Custer’s Last Stand.” Our Junior-Senior Banquet was given in the community building. We chose Ireland for our theme. After the banquet we went to a movie at the Boonville theatre. It was a night that will long be remembered by all of us. Our fingers were measured and we got our class rings during the summer. As September rolled around again we entered high school for the last time. We had often thought of the front seats in chapel. Now we, twenty-six seniors, had that honor. This was the first year to have school in our new modern high school. Our class officers were: President, Harold Lakey; Vice- President, Ruth Caudle; Secretary and Treasurer, Betty A. Gentle; Reporter, Janet Matthews. We elected our mascots Martha Brooks and Louis Hobson. For our class colors we chose wine and grey and for our flower, white roses. Our motto is “With the ropes of the past we will ring the bells of the future.” We were under the leadership of Miss Day. She gave us a class party at her home Christmas. Everyone was present and had a lot of fun. During the football season we had a home- coming. The queen was Dorothy Brooks. Her attendants from our class were Ruth Caudle and Janet Matthews. For the first time at Boonville High we had a Student Council. Harold Lakey was elected president. Frances Stanley was Secretary. The representative from the Senior Class was Betty Baker. Our record here is finished but the experiences, mishaps and happiness will always be cherished in our memories. The ideals, facts and sound judgment which we have gained through our years at Boon- ville High will guide us in the years to come. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the faculty and our parents for being so patient and helpful through our High School days. May we live up to vour expectations and our own dreams. We, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-one, knowing that our life as a class will soon cease and wishing to express our sincere appreciation to those who have labored with us so diligently and who have been associated with us daily, do hereby will and bequeath our treasures and privileges to-wit: To Mr. Albert Martin, we extend our sincere appreciation for his continuous interest and assistance throughout our high school careers. I'he faculty, we forgive for giving us so much homework, and we sincerely leave to them many more years of sending as successful classes as ours out into the world. To the entire student body, we leave our gratitude for all it has done for us and our wishes for a successful future. Betty A. Gentle leaves her ability to play basketball and to get a man to Katie Leigh Vestal. Laura Shore wills her red hair to Allen Wagoner. Harold Casstevens leaves his school bus certificate to Jerry Casstevens. Frances Stanley leaves Peggy Williams a roll of adhesive tape. This is because she wants at least one senior of ’52 to be as quiet as she has been this year. Billy Gray Hinshaw leaves the “Little Woman” to anyone lucky enough to win her. Harold Lakey wills his notebook paper and pencil to Edward Brown. Donald Hinshaw leaves his straight “A” report card to Tommy Collins. J. T. Riggan wills his fascinating ways with “wimmen” to Morrison Gwyn. Historian JANET MATTHEWS
