Page 18 CLASS HISTORY The Seniors of 1958 started their life long history in the Clinton State Vocational Training School in late August of 1954. Our class, composed of seventy-nine noisy freshmen, storming down through the halls and filling the classrooms to overflowing in our efforts to become a full fledged student and to be part of this school. However, we rapidly became a part of the school and began making acceptable con- tributions to its activities. Prevailing many hardships and battles, our class has diminished from the original seventy-nine to forty-two. Glancing back to our Freshmen year we feel that it didn't register too much with us as we were just starting our new phase of life. We went to Petit Jean on our class trip. Willard Crow was elected as president. Coach Gene Wilburn was our sponsor. During our Sophomore year, things began to be more meaningful. This year we started our school plans with Bobby Joe Appleby as president. Our class sponsors were Mrs. Horton and Mr. W. H. Morton. The main events for the year were the class trip to Lake Nixon, and our class play, Headin' for the Hills . In August, 1956, the Junior class we enrolled forty-two easy-going, fun-loving members to our class roll. This year we elected Clell Lewis as president. Miss Hutchison and Mr. W. H. Morton were co-sponsors. This year three of the Junior Girls were chosen in the Beauty Circle. ” Jeraldean Smith was one of the Torch Maids. Barbara Bradley a Fair Maid. Jan Patton one of the Homecoming Maids. Several members of the class became assistants to the Torch and Hillbilly. Our play was Prom Night”. Four of the girls and four of the boys were on the Senior Basketball teams. One of the most eventful events was ordering our class rings. With this came a new trend for the school. We were the first seniors to order the ring to be the standard ring for the school. We were hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior and Senior Banquet. This event took place on May 3, 1957, with Fairyland Romance as our theme. Then came the greatest year in our lives in August, 1957. We enter in a history making affair for we are to be the first seniors to graduate from the newly organized Clinton High School. James Pate was elected as president. Our co-sponsors were Miss Hutchison and Mr. W. H. Morton. They were willing to go along with us to make this our most enjoyable year in high school. The happiest days of our life was receiving our class rings in October. This let us know that we were full-fledged Seniors. Selecting our invitations, Diplomas, Caps and Gowns, were one of our busy moments. Doing this we knew that Commencement was just around the corner. Our play Backwoods Romeo” was given in April. We lost two of our girls to matrimonal life, three boys to Uncle Sam. For our class trip we went to Gulfport, Miss, and New Orleans. Anna Ramsey was the Valedictorian and Charlotte Hink was selected Salutator- ian. James Cecil Pate was chosen for the Lions Club Award. Now with our four years of joy and sorrow, failure and success behind us, we pass to the future graduates of Clinton High School, the feeling of kindness to you as you continue your climb in your education. The climax of our school year came on May 12, as we received our diplomas on Commencement night.

H. S. gratefully acknowledges the pride of the school, our athletic teams. Our team finished the season with a 3-7 record .and many memories of well-fought games. A mem- ber of our team, Clell Lewis, was selected for the all-district team. Our let-down because of the end of football season was somewhat forgotten by the opening of bas- ketball season. The record of our senior boys at the close of the season was 13-12. They were champions of an Invitation Tournament at Scotland. Jim Penrod and James Pate, co-captains, and Jackie Whillock were chosen for the all-county team. Placed on the all-district team was Joe Kidd. This team gave us many exciting and happy experiences. The senior girls started the season slowly but their gaining power was shown when they defeated South Side, their greatest rivals, near the close of the season. Their record was 3-6. Both of our junior teams had very successful seasons by carrying away the trophys for the county, dis- trict, and invitational tournaments. The junior boys recotd was 15-6. All-county players were Louis Horton, Robert Lewis, and Joe Tom Whillock. A11-district players were not announced. The junior girls record was 15-1. All-county players were Judy Woodell, Linda Hi«. Glenda Huie, Eddie Jo Turner and Carolyn Brown. We expect these teams to provide winning senior teams in the future. All these teams have showed sportsmanship and are admired greatly by all. 1.
