September, 1950 • ? ip 6 As Father Time has carried us across the “four seas” of high school life, we look back over those years with pleasant memories. We set sail on the first sea of high school as forty-one “sailors.” At first we found the going rough, for we had to battle the storms of chang¬ ing classes and get accustomed to having sev¬ eral teachers. But we soon got on course and went along with the various activities. Although we could not boast of our boys on the football squad, several of our girls were on the sidelines as cheerleaders. Carole Wingfield and Jerry Rhoads were our new crew members that year, but both left before the year ended, along with Joe Johnson. We climaxed the year with a weiner roast at the old ball park. September, 1951 We entered our sophomore year as “ensigns.” Much to our disappointment we learned that several of our sailors had become sea-sick and were left on the shore, but in their places we had nine additions to our crew. We began the year under the sponsorship of Captain Hite and Cap¬ tain Propst with Charlotte Cooper and Patricia Watkins as our fine presidents. We were proud of Rufus Parrish that year be¬ cause he was the only “ensign” to boast a “jersey.” And, yes, we were equally proud of eleven of our crew when they docked at the Beta Club. Then with the approach of October, we began our plans for a Halloween party. At the last minute the basement of the Presbyterian Church was alive with cornstalks, pumpkins, and hob¬ goblins. Remember, too, how proud we were when several of our girls served as waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet? Again we ended the year with a picnic at the old-ball park. September, 1952 We sailed into our junior year, having been promoted to “lieutenants.” Since we were now only twenty-seven in number we were joined into one class with Captain Hughes as our spon¬ sor and with Charlotte Cooper at the helm. We started the year by sponsoring a baby con¬ test to raise money for our Junior-Senior Ban¬ quet. The contest was a tremendous success. With the approach of December, we began gala plans for our Christmas party at the Country Club. With the assistance of Captain Hughes, we had a very enjoyable party. Then we ordered our rings and waited impatiently to receive them in the Spring. After many “ooh’s” and “ah’s” and with some brief confusion, a few stern glances sent us again on our way. In April, the gay sea¬ son of the “Mardi Gras,” we pulled into port at old New Orleans. All “lieutenants” were on deck for an unforgettable Junior-Senior Ban¬ quet. Having struggled through final exams, we put out for shore, singing at the Baccalaureate Service in June. 14
