JUNIOR CLASS 1948-'49 Petty Owen Carol Padden Dean Parks Nona Richards Our Sophomore year found most of us returning to the school of learn- ing. Miss Idella Kennedy took over the sponsorship of our class. That year we elected Betty Owen, pre.i- cent; Wilbur Anderson, vice-presi- dent. and Elsa Loken, secretary- treasurer. With no remorse in our hearts, we took over the job of init- iating the Freshmen on September 12. Elsa Loken was our nominee for the Homecoming queen of that year. When spring came we honored our- selves with the job of convincing the Freshmen that the “C” needed paint- ing once again. We were also the capable sponsors of a number of so- cial events during the year. And now here we are — Juniors. With our new sponsor. Miss Carolyn Elkin, we elected as president Jim Riley; vice-president Wilbur Ander- son. and secretary-treasurer, Mary Jo Yate . This year we ordered our class rings which arrived early in February. Dorothy Ward was our Homecoming queen candidate. We took a stab at the theatrical world with our comedy, “Have A Heart.” which wras a great success. The month of March came and we found ourselves in the midst of plans for the Junior Prom which was held in April in honor of the outgoing sen- iors.

-JUNIOR CLASS 1948-'49 Wayne Brewer Mary Ellen Carey JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1946. twenty- eight timid iie hmen walked through the doors of the Carter County High School. We were certainty a bashful group of students in our new sui roundings. Walking the floor hinting for the difterent cla-srooms, and struggling with our locker com- binations wasn’t, at the time, too much fun. Alter familiarizing our- selves with the students, teachers, and classrooms, we tegan to act nor- mal once again. Our first class meeting was held under the supervision of Mr. Mar- shall Lambert, who remained our sponsor for that year. We elected Wilbur Anderson, president; Betty Owen, vice-president, and Glen Askin, secietary-treasurer. Just when things were looking bright, initiation day took its place on the calendar. The boys were quite an attraction, dressed as girls with bright colored ribbons in their hair. The girls drew their share of attention by coming to school dressed in old dresses under which was long underwear — and without a tinge of makeup on their faces! We were given a consolation party by the Sophomores that night, there- by soothing our hurt pride. Our re- turn party was given two weeks later. We chose Betty Owen to represent us at the Homecoming event in which Shirley Gundlach reigned as Queen. In the spring we brought out our brushes and buckets to under- take the task of painting the “C”. This sums up our year as Fresh- men of C.C.H.S.

1948-'49 SOPHOMORES Carol Cleveland Thelma Senrud Florine Richards SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Twenty-eight shy but willing Freshmen made their appearance in the corridors of Carter High on the first day of September in 1947. After living through Initiation day which was September 12, we were able to see our way clear to come to the party given by the Sophomores that evening. We gave a Freshman return party two weeks later. Mr. D. V. Ludlow was our sponsor that year. Our first class meeting was held early in the spring and we elected Billy Arbuckle as president and Donald Schweigert as secretary-treasurer. How- ever, Donald withdrew from school and Donna Stieg filled the position for the remainder of the year. Carolyn Purdum was our Homecoming Queen candidate and she ran a close second to Queen- elect Wanda Waterland. By the end of the year we had only twenty-two of the twenty-eight stu- dents who started at the beginning of the year. Those students leaving were George Winkley, Joyce Davis, Gerry Baird.
