JERRY CLINTON Fulton Student Council Rep. liny Class Rep. Activity Ticket Rep. Class History continued from page 2 death left a place in our class which no one could fill. Don Brown, Bill Hale, Doug Barthlow, Ronnie Hoffman, and Bill Woehler, par- ticipated in the operetta, The Singer of Naples, while Bill Duvall made head- lines by having an important part in the senior play, Life With Father. Ronnie Fuzzy Knight and Shirley Oakley were our representatives in May Day activi- ties which drew our sophomore year to a close. At last we were upperclassmen! To start the year off with a bang, we all participated in the giant football parade which was held. Lead by drum major, David Mernitz, and majorettes Karen Scraper. Billie Love, and Joyce Maier, we paraders marched down Main street featuring such things as Patty Freeman and Connie Miller running down the street with buckets. The blue-jeaned clad girls were looking for water, necessary for keeping the Model T, which was part of their homeroom's display, running. The jokes of President Leon Harper kept our class meetings on the funny side during our junior year. Faye For- ster, another wit, was Veep, while Shir- ley 0akley's job was that of keeping the minutes. Pat Red Gingrich was class banker. Junior leaders in the Student Council were: Carol Schellhase, secre- tary of the Senateg Clarence Doninger, vice-president of Student Councilg and Virginia Son, Sandy Crow, Corky Thompson, and Ray Daywalt, prefects. Soon after school started, we began work on our class play, The Youngest. Doug Barthlow filled the title role and Judy Hampton provided the romantic angle. The other parts were done by Barbara Bufkin, Ronnie White, Gene Agee, Don Brown, Virginia Son, Carol Schellhase, and Rosie McNeely. New sights and sounds of the year were: the juke-box in the cafeteria, white bucks, one-way streets, and Shrimp Boats. A familiar sight was the second ping-pong championship in a row which was captured by f'Karence Scraper. Ronnie White and Dave Mernitz joined veteran debater Jack Shumate to fill three of the positions on the debate team. The reserve basketball team was vigor- ously backed by the Cub cheer leaders. The Cubs were: Marilyn Genet. Peggy Derrington, Judy HHmPf0n, Alma Webb, and Pamie Copeland. Christmas brought with it, the tradi- tional Christmas pageant. Rosemary McNeeley and Herschel Pleiss portrayed the roles of Mary and Joseph in the beautiful play. Joe Bastian also lent his talents as he was one of the wiseman. Soon rehearsals for the Big Broadcast began. Of the many acts in the excep- tionally fine program, one of those most well received featured the voices of Bernice Newkirk and Marquitta Hall, and Marquitta's big toe! Helping the dance band do a fine job of backing the Page l 5 numbers were juniors: Jim Springfield, Bill Huff, .lohn Marlin, Warren Harmon, .Ierry Mallory, Gene Agee, Skippy Frazier, and Ronald Rayburn. Petite Marilyn Genet and laughin' Leon Harper were found to lie the healthiest students in school and were crowned May Queen and King. Two of their attendants, Shirley Armstrong and .lim Springfield were juniors also. White bucks and levis were shed for dancing slippers and dark suits on April 18, the night of the long awaited Jr.- Sr. Prom. It was held at the Great Hall of the college and Charlie Kroener's band furnished the music. Manning the scissors and paste for the affair were: .loette Everly, LeDonne Ralston, Rosie McNeeley, Judy Hampton, .lim Spring- field, Bob Fowler, Shirley Ermert, Sue Peck, Leon Harper, Shirley Oakley, Faye Forster, Pat. Gingrich. and Virginia Son. The Merry Widow with Rosie Mc- Neely, Bill Woehler, Don Brown, Bill Hale, Doug Barthlow, Ronnie Hoffman, Pat Freeman, Carol Schellhase, Sandy CFOW, and Marquitta Hall in its cast was the last big activity of the year. Well, here we are, SENIORS, at last. The football team during our senior year, had the misfortune to forfeit four games but they still were champions in our eyes. Bob Fein, who was elected Honorary Captain, had his own special cheerleader, Anna Webb. The other yell- leaders were Judy Hampton, Marilyn Genet, Doug Barthlow, and Ronnie Hoff- man. Charlie Martin and Ray Groben were voted most valuable players by their teammates while Bill Huff received the Kiwanis Award in football. Familiar sights at the games were Dave Mernitz, drum major, and Billie Love, majorette. Ray Keller became President of Stu- dent Council, Ronnie Hoffman was Speaker of the House, and Connie Mae fMiller that isl was Secretary of the Senate. These students plus Bernice Newkirk and Herschel Pleiss. head girl and boy prefects, seemed to enjoy more than anyone else, the appearance of Chuck Reynolds, nephew of one of the more dignified faculty members, on one of the pep assemblies. Guys and gals keeping track of the class activities were: Clarence Doninger, class prexyg Marianna Copeland, vice- presidentg Barbara Bufkin, chief minute takerg and Linda Hulsey, keeper of the cash box. And then, the time grew short and we began to be a little kinder to our teach- ers and wish we had studied a little harder. We remembered again the disap- pointment we felt at the semi-finals, Ronnie Hoffman's famous, Well, send up a flare! in Senior talent day, the pride we felt in Jack Shumate's winning the state Optimist contest, and all the good times we had in those semi-plaster- ed halls. We decided then that no mat- ter where life might take us, we would never forget. our days in Central.
