CLASS HISTORY About eighty-five little eggs rolled into their nests in the freshman 'homerooms four years ago. Peepl Peepl Peep! Some of us were beginning to peck through. Mrs. M. G. Thompson and Mr. Frank Wilson, Jr. helped us come out of our shells. Valgene Gibbs and Joseph Tyson presided over the two broods. Outstanding this year were James Nichols, who won the History Award, Beulah Weeks, secretary-elect of the Student Council, and Wista Adams, who won the local Civics Award and the first place in the State Typing Contest. Mary Jane Sherrod reignedas Homecoming Queen for the class. The year was highlighted by our freshman party to which most of the female nestlings went in early evening with escorts for the first time. As wiser littlebiddies, we fluffed our downy feathers proudly when we returned to school in the fall as soph- omores. Mrs. O. B. Myers and Mrs. S. L. Davenport, our advisers, provided excellent mash to keep us growing. Valgene Gibbs and Joseph Tyson continued as presidents of the two divisions. Our class produced the prize- winning skit, Pa Has a Fit, in a school dramatic tournament. Beulah Weeks was again elected secretary of the Student Council and Milbon Cobb and Samuel Daniels earned certificates in masonry. Shirley Smith was the honored chickabiddy serving as class queen. Our Homecoming float this year The Spirit of Liberty evoked many comments as it rolled along in the pqrqde, We felt we were rather important chicks when we reached our iunior year, since we were now in the senior high school division, and we looked forward eagerly to the Junior-Senior Prom. Our advisers, Miss E. L. McConnell and Mr. A. E. Murrell reminded us constantly that we must keep scratching diligently to get choice worms. Knowing that we had much business to transact this year, the class was organized as one unit, with Joseph Tyson serving as president for the third time. Outstanding chicks were Eleanor Newton, winner pf the French Prize, Governor Anderson, recipient of a certificate in masonry, Beulah Weeks, Student Council secre- tarial nomineefor a third term, Jimmy Jones, StudentCouncil president-GLGCTI Gnd DelOiS 5herrod,Shirley, Daniels and Wista Adams, winners of typing certificates from Cortez-Peters School of Business. Wista Adams and Ester Sneed were marshals. Our Junior-Senior Banquet A Night in Hawaii was a tremendous successl There was much activity in the barnyard our senior yearl Mrs. E, B, Graves and Mrs. L. C. Hunter cautioned us not to count our chickens before they were hatched and kept us from being ChiCken-hearted under an avalanche of assignments. Herbert Harper was class President. Since we were almost full-grown hens and roosters, the whole student body, it seemed, looked to us for leadership. Joe Baker was elected president of the Safety Patrol and The Hi-Y, Valgene Gibbs, The Little Theatre, The N. H. A. and the Tri-Hi-Y, Dorothy White, the band, Joseph Tyson, The Teen-Age Club, Wista Adams, The F. B. L. A., David Williams and Eleanor Newton, two divisions of Le Cercle Francais, James Brewington, The Glee Club, and Jimmy Jones, The Student Council. Joseph Tyson and James Brewington were co-captains of the football team, Robert Edwards and James Brewington were co-captains of the basketball team. Beulah Weeks served her fourth year as secretary of the Student Council . James Brewington was signally honored when he was chosen to play tackle on the All-State High School Team. The publication of the third edition of the Eppesonion, one of the most gratifying class proiects this year, was a fitting climax to four enioyable years of school life.
