Then comes graduation, and each must go his separate way. You may not see some of these friends again, but you will not forget them and the experiences you shared to- gether. _ SENIOR CLASS OF 1959 SENIORS MAKE MOMENTOUS DECISIONS Five class meetings were necessary for the seniors to complete the business of voting for officers, deciding on the color of the graduation robes, and selecting invitations, class song, motto, and colors. Having previously voted to have blue gowns for boys and white gowns for girls, the seniors changed their minds and ordered all blue robes. After an appointed committee selected six mottoes for consideration, the class chose the quotation, They can who think they can. The seniors wanted to use the same class song that they selected for their junior high gradua- tion, Look for the Silver Lining. The seniors' colors, blue and white, exhibit their patriot- ism for C. H.S. Their class flower is the red rose. Senior class meets in the auditorium.

Some of these students have achieved recognition by their own efforts; others, by your favor. They are symbolic of Clarksville High School, of you, and your achievements. MR. AND MISS CHS GEORGE GIDDENS PATSY PETTY D.A.R. REPRESENTATIVE SANDRA TUCKER Sandra Tucker was select- ed as the CHS nominee for the 1959 Good Citizen- ship Award of the Daugh- ters of the American Rev- olution. She was chosen on the basis of dependa- bility, scholarship, serv- ice, leadership, and pa- triotism. The D.A.R. Representatives' names are sent to the district headquarters where a drawing is held. The district winner's name is then sent to Austin, where the state representative and an alternate are cho- sen by lot. The state winner receives a $100 savings bond. JIMMY GIDDENS PRISCILLA BEADLE Priscilla thinks that the student- teacher relationship should and could be better in C.H.S. Having always worked to learn, Priscilla has grades that are among the highest in the sen- ior class. She plans to attend North Texas State, where she will study marketing. Jimmy, whose warm brown eyes portray the friendliness that has won him many friends, is an avid lover of football. This year Jimmy had the dis- tinction of being one of the only two unanimous choices in the selection of the all- district team. His position on the team was fullback. THOMAS FOWLER HELEN SCHULTZ It is understandable that Helen's favorite organization is the Student Council, as she is quite an outstanding citizen of C.H.S. She set for herself two very admirable goals - to be an example of a good stu- dent and to be well liked. Helen has accomplished both of these. Thomas shares Helen's interest in the Student Council, al- though he has never had the opportunity of participating in the school government. Thomas feels that he is not as civic minded as he should be, but he likes the Student Coun- cil and the Key Club because they serve the school and the community. BARBARA GIDDENS DAVID BURGESS Barbara is quite a versatile person. Some of her interests are sports, reading, horseback riding, and church work. Though she doesn't like to study very much, Barbara re- luctantly admitted to us that her greatest ambition in school is to be graduated at the top of her class. David is impressed with the friendliness of C.H.S. boys, especially football players. A good athlete, David hopes to make the all-district team He plans to attend North Texas State College. FRED TAYLOR MARY ALICE ROSE A very friendly boy with a knack for pantomime, Fred spreads humor wherever he goes. He wants to play foot- ball next year and hopes to join the Spanish Club. Mary Alice comes from a family of teachers, and she herself plans to teach. She is intelligent and makes good grades in all of her subjects. Her classmates consider her attractive, courteous, and friendly to everyone.

EARLY HOMECOMING IN 1958 The excitement of Homecoming and a week's waiting came to a climax the night of September 12. The early date enabled the college students to be present for this im- portant event. After the nominees had been escorted onto the field, the lights were turned out. The Homecoming Queen of 1958, Doris Hall, stepped into the spotlight when her name was announced. She was crowned and presented a bouquet of red roses by last year's Queen, Joycelyn Bolton. The excitement of the evening was greatly increased when the Tigers won the victory over Mt. Vernon. Doris Hall and escort John Payne The runners-up and their escorts are: Sandra Griffis and Dickie Harvey, Barbara Giddens and Randy Emery, and Carolyn Andrews and Wayne Sheppard. MOST ATTRACTIVE JUNIORS WADE TAYLOR betty mcdonough CHERYL SIMS PATSY PETTY MARGARET RUSSELL THIS IS YOUR LIFE This is your life for one short year in Clarksville High School. It is a life of studying, dreaming, working, playing, and setting personal goals. Each day brings new successes and new failures, new joys and new sorrows. With all its ups and downs your school life is worthwhile, for this is a time of preparation, not to begin living, but to give living a wider scope and a greater hope of a better way of life. Homecoming Pep Ha It’s school time again! The first foot- ball game. Sept. 5, starts things roll- ing with pep rallies and all the excite- ment of another football season.

Tigers sing rooster (victory) song in pep rally. A few seconds after the bell has rung YOUR A few seconds after the bell rings, the halls are full of students rushing to get to their lockers and to their next period class before the tardy bell. The three minutes between each class doesn't leave much time for tarrying. A few students risk being late in order to hear the latest gossip. The F.T.A. performs some worthwhile things. Lou Pope is seen here as she, along with other F.T.A. members, helps in the polio drive. The students went from house to house asking for contributions. Here Peggy Hughston and other F.T.A. girls serve at the banquet for the local unit of the Texas State Teachers Association. F.T.A. serves at banquet.

CHEER BETH REED PRISCILLA BEADLE Leading the CHS spirit through the thick and thin of its football season this year were the five Tiger cheerleaders. Such zip, vigor, and vim have sel- dom been equaled. Few people realize the amount of time, effort, and money that these girls spend in serving CHS. The enthusiasm of the students is their only real reward, and an enthusiastic student body is certainly what they desire most. Head Cheerleader: SHIRLEY NORWOOD LEADERS LOU POPE CLEA MILLER SPORTS The cheers and the yells and the words of our Alma Mater will ring on after these stu- dents have walked down the halls of CHS for the last time. Each participant in these sports will remember the cheers and the ex- citement as long as he lives. He will re- member, too, the spirit of sportsmanship that makes a good winner and a good loser. Each of you will remember this year for the best school spirit that these halls of CHS have ever witnessed. 1958 FOOTBALL TEAM THE TIGERS FIRST ROW: James Bishop.
