5 SOPHOMDRES--CLASS OF 40 Helen Kingery On the morning of September l,l956, seventy-six nervous boys and girls began their first year of high school. As soon as they became accustomed to the daily routine of high school activities, and found their way around the place, they chose their class officers. Sammy Whitney was presi- dent, John Hart, vice-president, and Leanna Harris secretary Wayne Middleton was the only freshman who made the bas- ket ball team. Norlin Garner, Emmett B rooks,Clyde Pankey, Eugene Swanner, J. B. Odum, Duyane Fife, Bernard Tanner, An- drew Spears, and Wayne Middleton were on the track squad when spring rolled around. As for social events, in November we had an afternoon party in the newly completed gymnasium, and in the spring, we went for an all-day picnic to Dixon Springs. - When the Intellectual contest came in April, we had a splendid representation. Ruth Farrar was our piano soloist, Gordon Hubbard, violinist, Harlan Floyd, trombone soloist, Yulondia Hancock, Charlene ,Cummins, and Estelle Brothers, in the girls' chorus, and Glen Tarrant, Victor Bailey, and Junior Stalions were in the boysvchorus. Our teachers were Miss Dean, who was also our sponsor, Miss Organ, Miss Fugate, Mr. Flener, and Mr. Phillips. How- ever, Mr. Phillips accepted a position in Washington in November, and Mr. Goddard came to take his place. Sixty-seven of us finished the year, a very happy and successful year, too. - We numbered 62 when we came back as sophomores. WSillyW sophomores were we then, and we could make fun of the Ngreenn freshmen who had taken our places. Our officers for this year were Peggy Durfee, president, Meribel Turner, vice- president, and Hugh Lee Thompson, secretary. Mr. Goddard was our sponsor. John Hart and Hugh Thompson were on the basketball team. And on track were to be found Caswell Van Meter, Earl Rus- sell, Clyde Pankey, Emmett Brooks, Bohn Hart, Gordon Hubbard, Andrew Spears, Norlen Garner, and Sam Whitney. Gordon Hubbard was the only sophomore on the intellec- tual team.
