IXZZZZZE CZEZLIEQLJKEE? - 455227 CLASS HISTORY Opal Phillips On August 30, 1959, one hundred and sixty eight green and inexperienced but very ambitious Freshmen entered Central High to begin our journey to another goal. Our class was under the leadership of Mildred Murphy, president and Mr. Raymond High, sponsor. This year we learned the principles of becoming true Cavaliers. After spending nine months as green Freshmen we were ready to become solemn Sophomores and to take our work much more seriously. Our president this year was James Bush and our sponsors were Miss Bertie Brown and Mr. Phil Dickens. New mem- bers of our class were Ola Luke, Jewel Little, Mildred Poston, and Ethel McClain. The Sophomore year had passed very swiftly and now we were jolly juniors. This year was started with re-election of James Bush as president but he later left school and the responsibility was shifted to the vice-president 'Wahoon Billings. Our sponsors were Miss Bertie Brown and Mrs. John Holladay. All other activities were put in the background by thc presentation of the Junior Play, nRomance in a Boarding Hbuse.' The proceeds were used to finance the Junior-Senior picnic. This year Idanelle 'Sam' Mcmurry won first place in the Tennessee Interscholastic Liter- ary League of which our class was very glad. This year the new members to join our class were Aline Jones and Lucille Lawhorn. Now we are Seniors. This is the long awaited goal and we have gained it. We have completely forgotten our jolly junior title and have put on all our dignity. 'Wahoo' Billings was re-elected as president and our sponsors are Miss Pauline Hudgens and Mr. David R. Terry. James Douglas and Mildred Murphy won first and second in an essay contest sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The Senior play, 'Safety First,n was given April 22. The proceeds went to help finance the annual. The new members of our class were Bob Byrne, Jim Byrne, Maxwell Smith, Jew- el Jones, Virginia Parsons, and Bettye Hargis. The graduation exercise will end the high school careers of ninety-six of the original one hundred and sixty eight students. We owe much to the patience of our teachers and principals. As we close our high school days there are many incidents which will remain in our minds as pleasant memories of Central High. 16
