 »ET SKT! The CHARHIAN Football Foolishness It's a good evening for a football game and while we’re waiting for the kick off, here’s a little chatter about the crowd that's gathered to watch the game. There’s JOYCE SUMERIX. girl most likely to succeed, and JIM WENSLEY, hoy most likely to succeed. They seem to like football as well as school. The best dressed couple for the year are present also. Over there on the bleacher is JEAN MARSH, and JOHN CLARK is standing over by the fence. RONNIE WELLS was selected as prettiest girl in her grade this year. She's here tonight also. NOR- LYN BROUGH, handsomest boy in the eighth grade, is somewhere in the sidelines. These two certainly make a good looking pair. Class steadies. NANCY PARISH and JOHN CLARK, are here this evening to watch the big game of the season. WALLY BRUCE, class athlete, is well on his way toward fame in the football field. Just give him another year or two. LOIS HALL and JIM WENSLEY have quite a bit in common. They I were selected the most artistic in the eighth grade. If you want to meet two of the friendliest people around, oyer there are MARIAN WOOD and ROGER NELSON. They were se- lected out of their class as being worthy of that title. Another honor goes to BERNITA MARTIN who was selected as class flirt. Of course, she wouldn't miss the game and with her usual gang will lead in the cheering section. The band is here tonight and the eighth grade representatives. CHARLES WEAVER and CARO- LYN LEACH, prove their ability by holding responsible positions. Class chatterbox is MARY BARNABY this year and she has quite a time holding her reputa- tion because of all the competition, but this gal must be quite a talker j because she came out on top in the |survey. ALLEN TAYLOR is present to- night and he is quite a remarkable fellow. He holds a double title from the results of the personality sur- vey. He is classed as both a pest , and a grouch. It’s time for the game to start, so this brings to a close the latest news. Get set for the kick-off. Sports Review The class of '52 had a successful year. We have enjoyed taking part in many school activities. We sponsored several parties for the entire junior high besides our own advisory group parties. During the year we have put on our own junior high talent assemblies and found much entertainment as well as talent in our group. This year we have had a basket- ball and a track team. Several of our members are active in school clubs and in the band. All of these activities have helped to prepare us for our entrance into high school. We are very proud of our queen. Bonnie Wells and were glad to have her represent us at the jour- nalism carnival. We should like to take this op- portunity to thank our class ad- Team Officers Eighth Grade President .........Jerry Chapman Vice President ....Narlyn Brough Secretary .......Marquerite Green Treasurer ...........Marian Wood Class Motto: Constantly striv- ing to make our best better.” Class Colors: Blue and Silver.

Right there in the front row tak- ing notes on the game are the two most likely to succeed—JO ANN REINER and FRANK BRACY. They are writing up a thrilling ac- count about the class athlete. JIM GAMMAGE. IRIS GORRIE and CLYDE NIC- HOLS, being voted the most ar- tistic are busy keeping up their reputation. Clyde sure is hot on the piano. Fashions are really creating a lot of talk today with everyone watching JOYCE HUTCHISON and LLOYD BRAITHWAITE. the best dressed tw’osome. for advice on how to look well groomed. Even the band is here. What a great incentive their peppy march- es must be to the team and audi ence. MARGARET VANCE and EARL MEAD prove their musical ability by capably managing a posi- tion in the band. Sitting way back in the corner you can see LLOYD BRAITH- WAITE and JACKIE HALE, class steadies. Buzzing around the auditorium talking to everyone is SHIRLEY HARMON. It is easy to see why she is known as the class chatterbox. All that oh-ing and ah-ing is only because the girls saw the arrival of DALE ROLFE. He certainly is handsome. They'll be mobbing him next. Of course. JACKIE HALE has envoked some wolf calls, too Sports Review We. the class of 51, look back over our tirst year in senior high as a happy and prosperous one. We have had a dance for fresh- men only, sponsored another, and sold hot-dogs at a football game, but of all our activities, the one enjoyed most by all was a fresh- man talent assembly which was very successful. We owe our success to the fine co-operation of our advisors. Miss Dora Holmes. Mr. Evald Johnson. Mr. Ward Christlieb and Mr. War- ren Blight. At the conclusion of our first year, we shall be looking forward to more happy years to come. Clare Wilmore, president. and plenty of admiring glances be- cause of her beauty. There's that friendly lass with her winning smile. FAT PRIES- MAN. surrounded by all her friends. HUEY JOHNSON, known as the friendliest lad in his class is doing very well towards keeping conversation alive. Just look! RONNIE ROOT is with another girl. It is easy to see why he is known as class flirt. Have you seen class pest SAM BANDFIELD? There he is, shoot- ing paper wads at JENE ANN MURPHY, class grouch. Well, that's all the time your reporter has now to gossip so on with the game.

It's such a pleasant walk and you meet the nicest people, that is most of them. Why, all the kids go that way and I don’t w’ant to be different. Everytime I turn the corner I meet something different. For instance there is that old well with the cement walk around it w ith a w’heel in the center. That always seemed the most puzzling object along the way to me. Then, too. there is usually a sweet little character who throw’s snow balls at you or puts snow down your neck. Of course we all love that kind. Besides the disagreeable things, the alley really does have its better points. It saves Bev. and Sam a lot of time and trouble as it does so many others including the facul- ty. It also has pleasing characteris- tics in the spring, as the sweet smelling lilacs that bloom so plenti- ful and the pretty flower gardens along the back fences. I guess we have alw’ays taken the alley for granted, but it really is a nice place. We should respect its originality and treat it in a manner it deserves. —12—

Everyone must be anxious to find out about it. KAY GRIEST and JOE IAUCH are the two considered most like- ly to succeed. That gives them a good start for their first year in junior high. The best dressed couple for the year are PHYLLIS BRIGGS and DAVID SASSAMAN. Take a good look at their appearance and it will be easy to see why they got the title. Prettiest girl and handsomest tx y awards go to SALLY MCDON- ALD and DON MARPLE. This good looking couple help make their class a class to be proud of. Of course, the class steadies can’t be forgotten. It seems that CHAR- LENE BARNHILL and J I M MAATSCH have snatched the two- some title for the year. Well on his way to high school glory is JOE PINCH with his name showing up as class athlete. The most artistic couple of the year are LUCILLE WHITINGER and BRUCE ELLISON. A lot of friends have been made by CHARLENE BARNHILL and RAY NEVINS. friendliest in their class. NANCY JOHNSON, class flirt, and SUE COWAN, class chatterbox, really put up stiff competition for anyone who tries to win the honor for next year. These little gals real- ty have what it takes. There’s musical talent in the seventh grade, too. EDWARD BARTLETT and LUCILLE WHIT- INGER are the two who come up high on the list. The last two awards go to JOAN HAMILTON, class grouch, and WARREN ATKINS, class pest. This concludes the personality poll for this year. Sports Review The end of another year finds us. the class of '53. successfully com- pleting our first year in junior high. We take this opportunity to thank our sponsors. Mrs. Marie Taylor. Miss Madeleine Whitmore, and Mr. Eldred Toutant for their assistance and guidance through our first junior high activities, the talent assembly, and sharing in the carnival at which time Miss Charlene Barnhill was presented as queen of the class of '53. We are fortunate in having three excellent cheerleaders chosen by the senior high cheerleaders. They are Sally Smith, Charlene Barn- hill and Nancy Johnson. One of our outstanding events was a trip through the waterworks under the leadership of Mr. Tout- ant. Many social events have been added to our pleasure. We have had several parties sponsored by j the Junior high as well as Christ- mas and Valentine parties. We are looking forward to our next year in junior high and we sincerely hope the class of '54 will have as many good times as we have had. Pat Wilson. Vice President. Team Officers Seventh Grade !
