National Convention in Kansas City and later carried the banner to State Forestry Camp. Spring sprung and it was time once more for another class party. We enjoyed ourselves so much at Fort Lauderdale, we con- vinced Mr. Leatherman to try it again. A welcome addition to our class was Latrelle Hughes. Since we anticipated hard work with the Prom and Banquet, we elected Timer as President, John as Vice President, Mary Anne as Secretary, and Georgia as Treasurer. Having decided we would need a little money to go along with our big ideas, we sold magazines and candy. Linda Lee led the way in magazine sales and was awarded a trophy. The school again recognized our fine talent and leadership when they chose Barbara as President of the F. H.- A., Timer as Vice President, Georgia as Secretary, and Barbara as Treasurer of Student council, with Billy Nall President of the Wild Life Club. Georgia and Barbara kept up the good work in cheer leading, as J. V., John, Eddie, Manning, and Robert led the team to victory, with J. V. winning honorable mention on the All State Team. Bobby, John, and J. V. kept the baseball team moving, with J. V. having bounced right up from basketball. Our beautiful 'D10Hd, Carol Miller, was chosen F. F. A. Sweetheart. We sponsored many foot- ball dances, not only for the money, but for practice for our one big dance, the JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. We chose as our theme, STORK CLUB, and honored the Seniors with a banquet at the Clewiston Inn. To close the year, we elected Timer as editor of the '54 Tiger. With graduation as our goal, we began our Senior Year by elect- ing a new cheer leader, Sharon, along with Georgia, Captain and Barbara, Co-Captain. John won honorable mention on the Little All American and was Captain of ,our team. J. V. received honorable men- tion and Manning and John were on the All Conference team. With Billy Nall, President, Eddie, Vice President, and Georgia as Secretary, we were well represented on the Student Council. Linda led the F. H. A. as President, with Eddie and Sammy running the F.F.A. Bobby, John, and J. V. led the baseball team to win the Sun-coast Championship. John, Sammy, and J. V. were on the basketball team. Mary Anne won the Knights of Pythias speaking contest and represented this district in Key West. Our golf team was undefeated. Lunatics at Large, our Senior play, was directed by Mr. Willis and Mrs. Hathcock, our Senior Class Sponsors. Late hours, and loads of fun, constituted our Senior Skip-day trip to Daytona Beach, and so ends our carreer at C. H. S. Because we maintained our high scholastic standards, we all managed to skim by

Cfarid airlidfory It was in the Fall of 1950 that Clewiston High was privileged to open its doors to the most out-standing class ever to enter its Hallowed Halls. The facial expressions of.the teachers told us as much. Especially did we notice this attitude on the part of our sponsor, Mr. Joe Leatherman. Mr. Leatherman raised his voice only in praise, and many times credited us with strong lungs and vocal cords. We chose robust Robert Dickson as Class President. Talented Timer Powers, as Vice President. Gorgeous Georgia Parrish as Secretary 81 Treasurer. We thought we were off to a good start, especially since Mary Anne Harrell had become an addition to our class, but then, we did not anticipate our first stumbling block, INITIATION. Rat week, was unusually severe, our egos become deflated, personalities warped, and halos jarred but being of superior intellect, sound bodies, and even temperment, RECOVERY WAS RAPID, COMPLETE AND LASTING. Coach Nocera recognized what weight we Freshmen carried when Mighty Manning Carter lettered in foot-ball. Georgia would have lettered we are sure, if she hadn't gone out for cheer leading instead. November found us crowning beautiful Barbara Twiddy and hand- some Eddie Carver, Halloween Queen and King. Little as she was, a big addition came to our class when Kentucky gave up Lynn Atherton. Billy Nall, the boy who is always talking, talked himself into first place in the State F. F. A. PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST. Not to be out done, J. V., Robert, John, Billy, Ronald, and Timer Composed th F. F. A. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE TEAM which went to State finals. Baseball team was privileged to have John and J. V., especially since they were only Freshmen. , To celebrate the survival of the first year, we landed in Fort Lauderdale, for our class party. Just because of the approach of summer, we did not stop, BIG BOY DICKSON carried his two cents worth to STATE FORESTRY CAMP. Summer waned, Fall began, and for us, another strenuous year. We knew it would be hard on us to go back as Sophomores, but we just could not disappoint the teachers, so we jumped right into the swing of things with roving Robert as class president, Timer as vice presi- dent, and Billy Nall to take care of all the loot we could rack up. We suffered a big loss, when Peggy Bleckley and Frank Connell moved away, but in return, gained John Overcash. After observing how well Georgia and Barbara teamed up, the school elected them to lead us through another foot-ball season. They found no difficulty in cheering for Frank Connell, John, J. V., Robert, and Manning, who kept the foot-ball team on the go. J.V. and John, being all
