X A3 1 As the last beat of the Red Tops echoed through the auditorium in May, we began to go our separate ways. Dips in the ocean waves, stimulating sets on the tennis courts, canters through a shadowy forest, homeruns on the baseball diamond, practice on the putting green, and lazy, Iuxuriating Sunbaths - all these made the perfect summer whirl. But September l found us all back at CHS- tanned, refreshed, and happy. We were ready to begin another memorable year at Bobo High. GUESS WHO!

We didn't like to admit it, but we actually looked forward to the opening of school. lt meant the renewal of old acquaintances, the making of new ones, the challenge of new subjects, and the thrill and excitement of football. lt, also, meant changes . . .changes in our curriculum, in our athletic field, and even in our mode of transpor- tation to out-of-town football games.

As a group, they sought the best for us. They put up with our inconsistencies, our boisterous ways, our youthful cal- lousness, our ignorance. They concentrated on our virtues, our untried capabilities. They provided answers for our ceaseless questions. They 'encouraged us when we despaired. They prodded us when we were lazy. They corrected us when we were bad. With firm hands and patient hearts they caioled, threatened and led us through the maze of high school studies. They opened the door to our future. When we are far along life's road, we will look back to some special word of reassurance, some sharp reprimand, which turned us in the right direction. Or, perhaps, the tired, end-of-the-day face of our favorite teacher will flash before our eyes. And we will suddenly realize how much of her mind and heart and physical strength was expended in our behalf. We remember and salute the men and women who gave us the priceless gift of our high school years. Wielding the gavel as chairman of the Board of Education of the Clarksdale Public Schools is noth- ing new to Tom Trotter Ross,'CHS alumnus. Past president of the Clarksdale Rotary Club and city 55 attorney, Mr. Ross has been active in all civic or- ganizations for many years. With an intensive law practice, numerous duties at St. George's Episcopal Church, and demands of the local schools, he has little time for his favorite hobby, golfing at the Clarksdale Country Club. Tom T. Ross, chairman Board, Superintendent Local, state, and national medical associations, American Legion, V. F. W., Rotary Club, and the First Presbyterian Church make many demands on any time Dr. W. T. Wilkins can take from an ex- tensive practice, nevertheless, he continues to give overtime service to the needs and demands of Clarksdale Public Schools. He attends all school activities, supports the Wildcats in every skirmish and turns attentive ears to the business of CHS. Dr. W. T. Wilkins, vice-chairman W' H. Frazer Jr. Secretary Vice-president of the Coahoma County Bank and Trust Company, W. H. Billy Frazer, CHS alumnus, finds time to serve on the Delta Council Board, work at St. George's Episcopal Church, participate actively in the Rotary Club, attend all meetings of the Wildcat Booster Club, and help manage the affairs of the Clarksdale Public Schools. The time wedged in for recreation finds. him yelling for the Wildcats and Ole Miss Rebels, hunting doves and golfing. l l i 6 Overall supervision of the biggest business in Clarksdale keeps Robert M. Mayo, superintend- ent of Clarksdale Public Schools, on a close schedule. Additional duties are those of working with local Rotary Club, First Methodist.Church and the Coahoma District of Boy Scouts. ln state- wide work he served as president of the Missis- sippi Association of School Administrators. Meeting new problems and trends in educa- tion with calmness and foresight, providing adequate means of instruction, maintaining schools on a high professional level-these are some of the duties which Mr. Mayo encounters daily. However, he still manages to give pep talks in assembly, listen to student groups and give personal cornmendation for individual achievements. directed school policies Serving on the Board of Trustees of Clarksdale Public Schools is in line with previous work and experience of Crawford Sharp McGivaren, who served as CHS principal for i3 years. As execu- tive vice-president of the Bank of Clarksdale, Mr. Mac still manages to budget time with that bus- inesslike efficiency which enables him to work with the Chamber of Commerce, BAWI Board, Clarksdale Country Club, Rotary Club and First Presbyterian Church. ln the allotted time for rec- reation, Mr. Mac quickly gets into the role of hunter and golfer.

Delivering announcements, carrying books and answering phone calls were some of the many ways in which the office assistants lightened the load of our secretaries in both iunior and senior high. Equally important were the students trained to run the movie projectors in the various classes. The office personnel -both students and secretaries-were indispensable to the smooth operation of our schools. FILMS AND SLIDES made our subiect matter come alive.

Cox, director of maintenance, and his crew of workers. Scrubbing window panes, mopping floors, sweeping corridors-all made up the duties of our ianitorial staff. Who knew every inch of CHS by heart? Who could tell you which chalkboards were green, which classes had the most paper on the floor after school, and which boys wore the muddiest shoes? CHS's custodians, of course. When lights burned out, window shades refused to move, and pencil sharpeners went on the blink, CHS had a staff on the iob all day to come to our rescue. A BATCH OF DELICIOUS DESSERTS is presented for Mrs. Lipsey's approval by the kitchen staff. 22,500 pounds of meat, 4500 loaves of bread, and 9, OOO gallons of milk sound like food for an army. However, these are the approximate amounts devoured by hungry CHSers during the year in the school cafeteria. Supervised by Mrs. Rosalie Lipsey, CHS's cafeteria serves in three shifts an average of 600 people each noon. Students found special meals on their trays at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and on the last day of school. CHARLEY AND MARTIN are performing their janitorial tasks with usual effi ciency as they sweep the corridors of Bobo High. 25 LCOKING BACK We 2 74o4e4cZc2fda:4awl ' - We remember how hard we worked and how hard we played--and ThaT There were never enough hours To accom- modaTe boTh our duTies and pleasures.

And we remember ThaT oTher parT of high school life- The sporTs, The band, The clubs, The WILDCAT and The SPOT- LIGHT. They came crowding in, bringing exTra work and exTra Tun-TogeTher wiTh ThaT special saTisTacTion known only To Those who work as a Team. We will cherish The memory of Those gala occasions whose annual celebraTions have become a parT of CHS Tra- diTion-Homecoming, The Senior play, The Science Fair, The Shop ExhibiT, The coronaTion of Mr. and Miss CHS, The dances and banqueTs, vespers and graduaTion.

GAIL TAYLOR is confused about Larry Liddell's advanced algebra problem so Les Hitt attempts to explain. I Students had the opportunity of taking one or all of the many math courses offered at CHS-freshman and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, Trigonometry, and ad- vanced math. Armed with compasses, rulers, and protractors, the geom- etry students attacked all kinds of circles, triangles, and par- allelograms. The numerous would-be engineers worked industriously with fractions, factors, and figures that per- haps one day would have a place on the blue print of a man-made satellite. Biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced science filled the needs of the scientific student. Hours were spent brew- ing, concocting, and calculating in the chemistry lab. Work with thermometers, barometers, balloons, and batteries fas- cinated the students in physics. And who can forget that biology encounter with the mangled frogs and cats? Certainly, the many science courses offered at CHS not only start the future scientist on the road to his career, but they also equip him to live in today's scientific world. 34 Quotients, tangents, challenged formulas, and bugs math and science students PLANE GEOMETRY looks easy to Leighton Miller with Nlartlwa Ray Howell and Ann Hawes to explain it.

Careers in BUSINESS EDUCATION STUDENTS Linda Brooks, Judy Watts, Audrey Lee, Shirley Rossie and Carolyn Coury make use of the various machines available to secretarial students. Today a student in business procedure, tomorrow an executive or private secre- tary-these were the prospects of many CHS students who were enrolled in the commercial classes ot Bobo High. Typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, secretarial train- ing and general clerical procedure proved remarkable introductions to complex sit- uations ot real lite. Drills in typing, practice sets in book- keeping and dictation in shorthand en- abled the commerdal student to be pre- pared forthe most exacting employer. The clacking ot typewriters, swish of the mimeograph machines and scratching of pencils on shorthand pads may have sounded like a modern Tower of Babel to a casual observerg but to the business stu- dent, each familiar sound and each mas- tered technique meant future security in the world ot tomorrow.

For their work they received a minimum wage and earned two units credit toward graduation. Twenty-two business firms in Clarksdale provided training stations and laboratories for twenty-eight students. Whether they were training as florists, technicians, butchers, or mechanics, they were gaining skills which would prove invaluable in later life. Future engineers and architects worked over the drawing boards in the ship class- es preparing various views of complicated figures. Junior high woodworking stu- dents turned out cabinets, chests, and boats with a professional touch.

Odors wafting through the walls of E. Dorr, the clatter of pots and pans, and the familiar hum of sewing machines gave evidence of future Betty Crockers and feminine Diors. Art, a minor subiect, held maior attraction for many talented students throughout the school. Campaigns, assembly programs, bulletin boards- all showed the influence of artistic teens. Exhibits and displays were indicative of a wealth of talent in the halls of CHS. Physical education and health for boys were re- quired of all students except those actively en- gaged in a maior sport. Sore muscles and stiff limbs characterized the p. e. students during the first days of school. Cold weather brought out the basketballs, volleyballs, ping pong paddles, shuf- fleboard and trampoline. Spring spelled the sea- son for the out-of-door sports-tennis, softball, horseshoes and track. Hitting a home run or win- ning a set were the goals of many aspiring Stan Musials and Lew Hoads. Broader shoulders or trim- mer waistlines plus a knowledge of many sports and a sense of fair play were the results of vigor- ous and varied activities of the physical educa- tion department in Bobo High.

Steinriede, James Nlangum, Melvin Sinque- field, and Ronald Bennett. CHOSEN BY THEIR TEAMMATES to lead the Wildcats were captain Clyde Allen and alternate captains, Don Kornegay, Lee Graves, and Charles Faulkner. Although Clarksdale had a rough football sea- son in 1958, we were proud of our Wildcats. Throughout the rugged season, they showed a determined fighting spirit in their efforts to win for CHS. Despite the season's record, the students of CHS will know that the fighting spirit of the T958 Wildcat griclders never falterecl throughout the schedule. The Wildcats dropped their two games to Delta Valley Conference teams. Opening the season, West Tallahatchie chalked up a 20-O win, and Yazoo City followed with a 24-O shutout at the expense of the Cats. Opening a three game roadrtrip, the Cats lost a 31-2 decision to Columbus. Jackson Murrah won a heartbreaker the next Friday night in the last seconds, T3-7, In the next Big Eight battle, the Wildcats fell to Tupelo T9-8. The following week a hard fought homecom- ing game was lost to Corinth, 7-O. Playing our fourth home game, the Wildcats were the first to score on the Greenwood Bulldogs but were over- powered 34-7. Going on the road again, the Cats had their worst night of the season, a Al-O defeat by Jack- son Central. ln their last home game, the Vicks- burg Greenies invaded Clarksdale and won 32-O. The season was closed on a rain-soaked field at Greenville with the Big Eight champs winning l9-O.

' sfp illfii the new Wildcat Stadium our pride and joy In every beam of steel that went into the building of Wildcat Stadium were the plans, the hopes, the dreams of every one of us- the students of CHS, th faculty and the citizens of Clarksdale. The huge grandstands of our stadium are supported by iron, but they came into reality only by the iron-clad support of all those who labored for this great advancement in our city. Wildcat Stadium is a masterpiece, it is the finest and best equipped athletic field in Mississippi. The Wildcats of '58 were proud to play on Wildcat Field. Gridironers in years to come will be proud of it, too. But we, the students of Clarksdale High School, are the proudest to call it ours.

The 5-3 record is not outstanding in itself but is very impressive consider- ing that the Wildkittens had won only one game at the halfway point of the season. Getting off to a slow start, the B team dropped its first game to the Greenwood Bullpups by a score of 33-6. ln the second contest, Greenville beat the Wildkittens lf?-6. The Clarksdale B squad stormed into the win column in the next game when they slashed Harding Academy of Memphis 44-6. ln the second meeting with Greenwood, the Wildkittens took their last beating of the season, which was a 39-O defeat at the hands of the Bullpups. Opening the sensational second half of their season, the Wildkittens chalked up a T2-O victory over the West Talla- hatchie B squad, Meeting Harding of Memphis for the second time, the B team again trounced them, this time 26-O. The Wildkittens played for a lucky 7 in the seventh game as they gained revenge by a score of 7-6 for an earlier loss that Greenville had handed them. Winding up a spectacular four-game winning streak, during which the Wildkittens scored 70 points to their opponents' TQ, the B team rolled over West Tallahatchie 25-6. KNOWN FOR THEIR PEP, personality, -and perseverance are the B team cheerleaders Mimi Jones Nan Nichols Lyt Logan Cookie Wise Waite Ligon, Teresa Laurenzi and Shirley Boyd. 57 HPRESENTING OUR T958 SPONSORS! They are Nancy Kincade, Susan Day, and Missy McGivaren. WE'VE GOT THE PEP, shout the varsity cheerleaders, and they certainly prove it in an impromptu pep rally during the first parade of the season. FOOD FIT FOR A KING, is served after the game to the varsity football boys by three queens, Susan Day, Missy McGivaren and Nancy Kincade. 58 Sponsors, Cheerleaders The swirl of white corduroy skirts, the svvish of red and blue rah rahs, the roar of an enthusiastic crowd, the singing of passengers on a bus tripfe these were the glamours associated with the lite ot a CHS cheerleader. These behind-theascene iobs ff-scaling the goalposts to make sure they were decorated, arranging transportation to the out-ot- town games, collecting kindling tor the bontires and keeping the spirit rising-ffvvere less publicized but, nevertheless, important duties. Six girls and one boy Barbara Butler, Jan Hum- ber, Lucille Longino, Toni Roberson, Linda Shelby, Nancy Thomas and Terry Smithf-carried on these monumental tasks tor the T958-T959 school year. Whether leading the student body in pep assem- boosted activities with pep, vitality, stamina lolies or leading them in parades, these yivacious cheerleaders unified the school with their magnetism. Equally important to the morale of the Wildcats were our attractive sponsors, Susan Day, Nancy Kincade and Missy McGivaren, who fed and served the hoys and coaches hot, delicious meals after each home game, Assisting the cheerleaders in promoting school spirit, they, also, made posters and signs and tur- nished gum and magazines tor our team. g-,of Nu. l B' mx. 4 536 .Iii - I H , - 1 - Z , t V 1 fb F ,1 Q I v' ix., lf 4, ' ' 1 'x X s.

Though the unscored-on record established by the Bobcats was broken in the Tupelo game, the powerful Bobcats came up with a decisive 26-6 win. ln the return contest with Greenwood, Clarks- dale Junior High sneaked out with a T3-7 victory. The Bobcat Homecoming was marred when the Greenville Junior High team handed them their only loss ot the season, a T11-T2 heartbreaker.

The four last season starters-seniors Charles Hasting, Frankie Thackston, Gary Crocker and iunior Billy Hudson-and two first-year varsity men, sophomore Tom Morris and senior Howard Farmer, were an important factor in the Wild- cats' first District 3 championship in 30 years. Another honor that comes rarely to Clarks- dale basketball was the placing ot a Wildcat player on the All Big 8 basketball squad. Senior Charles Hasting, sharp-shooting guard and three-year letterman, was named to the select 10-man team.

A former Ole Miss tour- year varsity letterman, Coach Stribling held his first position at Ripley, Tennessee, where he led the Ripley team to the Big TO conference playoff three years out ot tour. At Southside, he led the Scrappers to brilliant records. ln the last season his team won nine and lost but one. Seventy-tour boys Cincluding T3 lettermenl took part in the Wildcat spring training, The Wildcats, tight- ing tor starting positions, endured a gruelling 20-day practice climaxed by the Red-Blue spring game. The Blue team, coached by Mel Singuetield and Ronald Bennett, pushed across the winning touchdown late in the third quarter to deteat the Red team, coached by Jim Mangum and John Young, by a score of 1347. Some of the more outstanding playing was the line play of Earl Ikerd and Gerald l-lite, the punting of Herman Jenkins, the running ot Tommy Baird, Clay Richardson, Billy Williams, and Billy Moore, and the passing of Tom Morris.

The answereas every loyal CHSer knowsAthat's the day the SPOTLIGHT comes out. Nine times each school year we had placed in our hands four sheets of newsprint that represented news and views of CHS, heartaches and headaches, and endless hours of hard labor. As staff members struggled to meet deadlines, they came face to face with responsibility-respon- sibility to their classmates to make their ideas and actions known, responsibility to their school to do a creditable iob, and responsibility to Miss Norman to do these things well and on time. That they met these responsibilities competently and commendably was evidenced by their lnters national Honor Rating, the highest award given by Quill and Scroll, a First Place Award by C. S. P. Ag. and a second place overall rating by M. S. P. A. That their sponsor was tops was shown by her Gold Key Award from the C. S. P. A. for outstand- ing contributions to the field of iournalism.

Bobo halls fairly groaned with posters and signsg pockets bulged with handbills advocating this and that candi- date.

Not content to follow tradition, this wide-awake group began to make itself felt in every phase of school life. Early each morning before school, students and teachers alike were seen headed toward the con- ference room for devotionals, a project initiated and sponsored by council members. Too, Clyde Allen soon took over the duties as emcee in assemblies and gained the respect and admiration of the entire stu- dent body. ECT.

At the Cotton House on Jan. 28, coaches, their wives, and players gathered for this festive occasion in their honor. After a delightful meal came the highlight of the evening. Arduous practices, injuries, defeats, and discomforts were forgotten as 23 Wildcats walked to the front and returned beaming with pride and clutching a blanket, a svveater, or iacket. For some, it was their last banquet and a time for reminiscing, for others, it was their first such ex- perience and time for high spirits and enthusiastic plans. For all, it was a night to remember.

With the flick of a curtain, peals of laughter, and the bustle and rustle of crowds, we found ourselves on the corner of Royal and Bourbon Streets ready for a gala cele- bration. We weren't disappointed! All the requisites were there-bop and boogie, long- legged beauties, heartbreak and humor, devilishness and dancing, revelry and royalty'-and the juniors made the most of it. Acts ranging from a singing crawfish vendor to a little girl whose doll had been crushed by a float gave a sweeping panorama of New Orleans in a carnival mood. From the first bonjour to the last au revoir seniors were spellbound and juniors were spell-bind- ing for their night of nights and event of events-the Junior-Senior Banquet!

Harris, does everybody have to make one? Yes, every single science student in iunior and senior high school had to have a proiect in the an- nual Science Fair on March i2-13. Reluctance gave way to enthusiasm, and after weeks of concocting, creating, experimenting, working and worrying, science students brought in hundreds ot proiects, ranging from plaster brains and eyes to live chickens and hamsters. The Bobo gymnasium was packed to the hilt with every imaginable form of scientific ma- terial. Fascinated parents, teachers, and friends were in- trigued as they wandered through a maze of rockets, oil wells, digestive tracts, and volcanoes. Ribbons were awarded on the basis of creative ability, scien- titic knowledge, and technical skill. Once more CHS Einsteins proved that they were pre- pared to meet any challenge hurled at them by a rapidly advancing scientific world. A TRIPLE WINNER in local, district, and state competition is Carol Git'fen's experiment with eledroluminescence, the light of the future.

Seniors sought God's guidance at Vespers As the minutes ticked away, we gathered in the Mirror Room of the auditorium on Sunday, May 24, to await the stroke of eight to begin our march down the aisle. It was the night of our vesper service-one for which we had waited a long time. Thrilled, excit- ed, serious, sad, but ever so proud-we took our places in the front rows. Attentively we listened to the lovely sacred music of the A Cappella Choir directed by Leonard Metts and ac- compained by Judy Watts. Afterwards Alton Wasson introduced Dr. James P. F. Stevenson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, who delivered our baccalau- reate sermon. We must learn to interpret defeat, and we must attain the fulfillment of our being, asserted Dr. Stevenson in his message, Understanding Our- selves. LlFE IS MEANINGFUL AND STABLE only when it is founded upon God, states Alton Wasson as he welcomes a vast assemblage of parents and friends to vespers. DR. JAMES P. F. STEVENSON takes for his text Psalm 35:17 in his force- ful message, Understanding Ourselves. PROUDLY LEADING THE PROCESSlON at Vespers are Clyde Allen and Barbara Butler. I37 lT IS MY PRIVILEGE, on behalf of the Class of l959, to extend a very cordial and hearty welcome to each of you who have come to share this special occasion. iClyde Allenl High school careers ended as With tassels dancing, robes flowing, and eyes turning toward the future, we seniors bade farewell forever to the halls of CHS on Thursday evening, May 28. An atmosphere of reverence and solemnity was felt as the Reverend Charles T. Chambers, rector of St. George's Episcopal Church, delivered the invocation. ln an audi- torium packed to the brim and amid a setting of mag- nolia blossoms and colorful glads, we listened to a sym- posium of the Contemporary Challenge to American Ed- ucation, introduced by Clyde Allen and developed by Dickie l-taining, Edna Manning, Lee Graves and .lan Hum- ber. Piano, voice, and band selections by Carolyn Coury, Patsy Ferguson and Morris Sweatt, respectively, added the musical touch to our program. At last the big moment arrived. Nervous smiles turned into enormous grins as Dr. W. T. Wilkins, vice-president of the Board of Trustees, summoned each of us forward to receive his diploma. As the last name was called and we rose to sing our Alma Mater, we knew this night had been a fitting culmination to four of the most wonderful years of our lives.

We remember how The Juniors Took on new digniTy wiTh Their added responsibiliTies, became leaders in CHS scho- lasTic, social, sporTs and club life, and began To dress and acT The parT of nexT year's seniors. We remember The irrepressible Sophomores- bubbly and informal, occasionally awed by The upperclassmen, frankly fascinaTed by Their new sTaTus as official members of The high school sTudenT body. And we remember how young and lovable The Sopho- mores seemed as They Tried To puT away Their grammar- school ways and plunged for The firsT Time inTo The sTepped- up exTra acTiviTies of clubs, cheering secTions, CaT Cave dances and harder school work.

Records of the class of '59 show a series of highs, very few lows and days of the best average that normal living can produce. Theirs is a story of unusual accomplishments in group and individ- ual activities. Finally on May 28, with heads high and eyes misty, over lOO proud seniors marched down the aisle to receive long awaited diplomas. lt seemed only a moment ago when they were rushing around the halls of CHS selling senior candy, meeting deadlines and striving to make Bobo High remember them.

As ambassadors of enthusiasm and envoys of amiability, our iuniors climbed one more rung on the CHS ladder. They fashioned red and blue crepe paper into rah-rahs, sold candy and copies of School Daze, and manned the concession stand at basketball games in an effort to sponsor a Junior-Senior Ban- quet. They exulted over their class rings and backed school sports solidly. Young, sophisticated, studious, friendly, determined, even sometimes unconventional, they were intoxicated with life. All these qualities made them dear to their school ande-iust iuniors! I 1 ..., ' T- f s n '-,s' , , Q - 4. ' X . -, I? 'rf .PS 1 ... it3S5? ' qit' 'fvi -5lt'ft'5f-K+m, if 4 . ,Q I .1 yn.

Reports indicate that the enthusiastic members of the Class of '61 were a little discouraged Sept. l, 1958. Low on the inside rounds of the CHS totem pole, they eyed iuniors and seniors with a degree of inspiration and a dash of envy. Even before October, however, the sophomores had shaped a definite place for themselves. Home- coming parade, Cat Cave dances, clubs and classes -all of these informed CHS that the sophomores had a new, contagious brand of enthusiasm that infected academic, extracurricular and social ac- complishments of a powerful group. TWO SOUTHERN BELLES, Shirley Boyd and Nan Nichols, grace the deck of an old-fashioned paddlewheeler on the sophomore float, Steamboat Gothic. l87 worked enthusiastically on Homecoming float. captured Jackie Abbott Jimmy Ashby Peggy Basley, Beverly Bass Ford Bell Ann Bennett Duane Bennett Eloise Bennett Fredrick Billingsley Hershey Bloom Ben Borden Lock Bounds Qhnrley Boyd Says Brown Boo Butler Bunky Butler Shlrley Camp Jlmmy Carnathan Wayne Carpenter Pat Cauthen Martha Choo Sandy Cohen Herne Coker Woodve Coker Lows Cowen 'S' -v -an L 'Q' 1 HH' ELEVEN AMBITIOUS SOPHOMORES Jane Peters Mtn lyn McSpaddc-n Mum Jones Bully Holland Woodle- Coker Pat Klncade Shsrley Boyd Ccnnee Mclnnls Lucy Lee Payne Lyt Logan and Bull Fanlc ll pltch HW vvlth Thexr flrst attempt at float bmlclnng 'T 11 4 372' 'FQ QL C2 3 ry- -4 XI lb is-. . ....

Near the top of the ladder they paused-and glanced around. How tar they had come-and what memories they cherished! For a minute Latin and algebra prompted serious thought, but whoever heard of a ninth grader be- ing serious for any length of time? Study they might-but they reserved plenty of time for sock hops, Cat Cave dances, and comparing notes on the responsibility and prestige that accompanied the title of Seniors of Junior High. Each rung of the ladder lifted them higher to- ward the education they sought. They were am- bitious, they were fun-lovin', they were ninth graders through and through. WHAT A HAND! exclaims Mary Ann Parolli as she points to Nancy Hill Roberson's cards, Other ninth grade Cat Cave Board representatives, Thack Hughes, Larry Thompson, and Warren Dorsey are oblivious to anything but shufflin' and dealin' their way through a good game! l95 Humber.

CHORDS CRASH under the nimble fingers of eighth grade Cat Cave rep- resentative, Gloria Wigley, as other representatives, Kathy Frazer, Ronnie Wilson, Johnette Howell and Duncan Baird cluster around the piano. Eighth graders put their year of iunior high ex- perience to good use as they found themselves in positions of new importance. With the air of old pros, they welcomed seventh graders and found it hard to realize that just one year ago they them- selves had bewilderedly entered the halls of Elizabeth Dorr. Now that they knew their way around, there was no stopping them. Equally at home on the gridiron, dance floor, or basketball court, they made their presence known and appreciated by their school and community. aided Seventh Graders, freshmen of junior high SEVENTH GRADE CLASS OFFICERS-Millsaps Dye, reporterg Jane Anderson, secretary, Larry Franklin, treasurer, Harry Anderson, president, and Larry Bartee, vice-president-get acquainted with what will be one of their best friends in years to come, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. From Heidelberg, Oakhurst, and Eliza Clark they came, each with the same aim-to explore the pos- sibilities ot Elizabeth Dorr and to make the most of them. ln a remarkably short adaptive period, the seventh graders soon became oriented to their new surroundings. Gone were their former inter- school rivalries as they all pitched in to make their presence telt in their alma mater. Gone, too, was their initial shyness as they were caught up in the new and exciting whirl of changing classes, ioining clubs, holding elections, dancing at the Cat Cave and yelling for their football team. Awed, active, and amiable-yes, this describes to a T the seventh graders, who came as strang- ers to Elizabeth Dorr and rapidly became one ot its most indispensable parts. ROCKIN' AND ROLLIN' to an Elvis release are Harry Anderson and Carol Gamer as Trip Barnes cuts in on twosome, Pat Ross and Shirley Whit- worth. 20l . 9 3 1 I X S ,inf , Nr'-'f ' If v LQOKING BACK We 2 74o4e5a4c2ze44meaz andcaameaeado ' tdefizpfwdaazuandamwkzea We remember our loyal friends, The adverTisers, who year aTTer year have boughf space in THE WILDCAT.
