Because of her ideals for the better things in life; because of her efforts to pass these ideals on to our students, and because we appreciate what she has done for us, we shall always remember her. � FACULTY First row, left to right: Mattair, Young, Etheridge, Meador, Hance, Cooper.

Surely will miss you - good luck to you all in whatever you do. ’Course you know I love you. -Louise McMullian Remember your very existence on earth has a purpose. Don’t fail your God, your fellow-men, - or yourself. -Sara Fite Wherever your paths may lead you, remember that you belong to us and we love you. With my warm regards -Margie V. Lowrance Wouldst thou have men speak good of thee? Speak good of them. And when thou hast learned to speak good of them, try to do good unto them, and thus thou wilt reap in return their speaking good of thee. Epictetus -Mrs. Ruth Hance Seniors, as you leave these doors, you are leaving something of yourselves as a heritage for future classes. What you have done for the school and what you have meant to the school - your sense of loyalty, your spirit of cooperation, your vision of the school as a workable democracy - will influence future generations many years. As you pass through these high school doors and go out and find your rightful place in society, may you Be the Best of Whatever You Are. ” If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill Be a scrub in the valley - but be The best little scrub by the side of the hill Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass And some highway happier make; If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass But be the liveliest bass in the lake! If you can’t be a highway then just be a trail If you can't be the sun be a star; It isn’t by size that you win or fail-Be the best of whatever you are! -Margaret Young FACULTY FAREWELLS Life is a pleasnat institution, When you enter Into it, take with you your all, You cannot rise above your achievement. Nor can you fly higher than your hope. ” -from The Prophet by Gibran To you, Seniors, I wish you good luck. -Ted Cooper Goodbye, Seniors, - Remember, you can do whatever you want to do if you try hard enough. May each of you have the best of everything throughout life. -James Etheridge ...........So find out what you want to be and do. Take off your coat and make dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you are apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter your holidays, and the bener satisfied the whole world will be with you. -Burdette -Joe Meador So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. -Bryant -Robert McGehee MISS McMULLIAN Sponsor VERNON THOMPSON President 4, Treasurer-3 Football-1,2,3,4 Captain-4 Basketball-1, 2, 3,4 Co-Captain-4 Baseball-1,2,3,4 Journalism-1,2,3 Band-1,2,3 Beta Club-3 Boys’State-3 ALMA TUCKER Vice President-4 Glee Club-1,3 Journalism-3,4 FHA Club-4 JULIA PAPADOPOULOS Secretary-3, 4, Vice President-1 Journalism-1,2,3,4, CM -4 S.C.-1,2,3,4, Vice President-3 Varsity-3,4 Beta Club-2, 3, 4 Band-1,2,3 Mgr.

Basil wants to know why we have to study to make good grades? There must be some easier way! 1 Vernon wants to know why he can't sit by Mona in General Math? (Is it because he talks too much?) Julia wonders why Mr. McGehee doesn't leave her alone!! Opal wants to know why Miss Mac doesn't have the typewriters fixed so they will spell correctly? Curly gripes because he isn't a better shot in basketball!! Why isn't Mr. McGehee absent more. (English would be a better subject if he were!) Ramona wants to know why we don’t have half-days more often and why we don't get out at dinner instead of 2 o'clock when we do have half-days? Tillie wonders why we don't have more holidays. (Two days a week--maybe she would come the other three.) Why does Miss Lowrance grumble at the Home Economics girls all the time? Why doesn't Christmas come more than once a year? Clifford wants to know why he can't sleep in English? Oswald wants to know why Scrub and he can't talk more in General Math. (Mrs. Hance calls them down to often!) Mona wants to know why she can't be in all the activities? (Too many on one day.) Peggy wants to know why we get a zero when we don't get our homework. Annette wonders why the Seniors can't have classes with the Sophomores. (Is it because of Charlie?) Scrub doesn't like his typewriter because it doesn’t go fast enough for him. Alma wishes everyone else would be quiet and let her talk awhile!! CLASS PROPHECY Now, that it is 1961, I. Annette McDaniel Smith, sitting in my living room with my three children running around me, decided to turn on my television set and see what my old classmates of '51 are doing. I see that two members of our class are more or less partners. Cliff Sanborn, who is an undertaker, covers up the mistakes that Dr. Hugh Taylor makes. Who is the gentleman behind the desk in his office, and also that pretty girl sitting on his 1-nee. Oh, of course, it's Opal Messer and Charles Campbelle. Who is this going down the road in a new Buick convertible? It is none other than Oswald Winchester and his wife. I wonder what my two dear friends, Julia Papadoupolos and Mona Creamer are doing. Oh, here is Julia singing with Forest Hayes and his orchestra. They are playing at Ciro's now. Mona is just leaving Reno, after receiving her third divorce, to marry the owner of the Stork Club. The ideal housewives, Ramona Putnal and Frances Putnal, are now going into the great Walgreen Drugstore owned by Edward Mathes to buy their kids some icecream. I see Charles Millender and his basketball team leaving Madison Square Garden with another victory added to their list. Joe Hall is now flying jets for the U. S. Army. He seems to like his work well. Vernon Thompson, who made All-American last year with Notre Dame U. is now playing professional football with the New York Giants. Peggy Jackson is just returning from a round the world trip with her famous husband Admiral Carl Page of the U. S. Navy. Alma Tucker is busy with her career as an Airline Hostess. I also see she has a penthouse for days off in New York City. And look at Basil McKnight fast becoming rich making plates of teeth. We always wondered why Basil went to the dentist so much while in school. My, my but Tillie Thompson (reaching the old maid stage) looks nice walking down the corridor of the famous Carrabelle Hospital in her spotless uniform. Well, I must go now,my children are getting sleepy. E. SMITH M. HARLESS M. KILBOURN W. LARAMORE J. McKNIGHT E. MESSER J. MILLENDER I. ROBINSON H. THOMPSON B. Allen J. Allen C. Ard D. Butler Y.
