No longer shall we aimlessly wander ln the halls where time was greatly squandered. Our constant studying and memorizing Has now surpassed our teachers' criticising. We listened in class to our teacher explain famed Shakespeare, While we watched the smoke from Textron's chimney disappear. And now as we come To the end of our senior year, We wish to thank our principal and teachers dear. For their patience and long-suffering endurance Which has been to us an advantageous guidance. While leaving dear Cordova High We rejoice, but with a sigh. --HATTIE HOPE CALDWELL CLASS S0 G iTune: Old Black Joei Dear ones, the day at last tor us has dawned, We'll soon take sail for ports that are unknown. We hope to sail the seas so calm and still, And with the spirit of C. H. S., we know we will. iChorusi We love you, we love you, our dear Cordova High, And we will ne'er forget you, 'til we shall die. No more we'll roam your spacious halls so dear, No more you'll hear our gay laughs and our cheers, We'll soon be gone, but we'll return some day, When we've all gained wealth and fame: Thus do we pray. So . . . ' Goodbye, dear school, our parting is too nigh, Our hearts beat true with aches and many a sigh- We've loved you so, but now 'tis time to go, And iust how much you've meant to us, you'll never know. -CAROLYN LE FAY GILBERT WILL lllillllllllil Ill BE Tllll SAME Wllll Bobby Jones and Eugene Morrow aren't skipping the 8th period study hall Thomas Borden isn't sleeping in class.

It tells of the happy and sad occasions we have experienced during the six years that we have been preparing for this memorable night. This is a past that shall never be forgotten by any one of us. Years from now we will remember our high school friends and feel happy to have known them. The year 1941 brought about a new phase in each of our lives. This was the year we began our high school course. We began building our bodies and our minds to fit into the future. We were determined to do our very best in every thing. The Junior l class was divided into three groups. The first group under Mrs. Brown the second under Miss Collins, and the third under Mrs. Staggers. They were very encouraging, and willing to help us in any way, that is, as long as it was the right way. This first year in high school we took part in all the various activities that were offered. The boys were looking forward to the time when they could play on the foot- ball team, and proudly wear the school colors. We worked very hard to win the sponsor race, but after all the work we only won first maid. Our second year we were under the guidance of Mrs. Odom, Mrs. Fought and Mrs. Johnson, with Mrs. Lovejoy coming in for the daily math lesson. Both the boys and the girls went all out for basketball, winning the championship for their classes in the school tournament. Except for this nothing outstanding happened in the eighth grade. Vile were all looking forward to the time when we could be down stairs with the grown up students. Every year that we went to school we acquired new class mates and lost a few of the old ones. Some dropped out to be married and others iust moved out of town. At last came the day when we could really feel big. We were down stairs. The ninth grade was divided into two sections. The boys were under the direction of Mrs. Borden and the girls were in Mrs. Griswolds care. Some of the boys were trying out for the team. The fact that they spent a great deal of their time on the bench didn't seem to discourage them. They realized that they were small compared to the rest of the boys. ln Senior l we thought we were really going places. Our home room teacher was Mrs. Glidewell. It was her first year to teach. The girls were taught the art of cooking and sewing by her while the boys were taught agriculture by Mr. Barton. Some of the boys had already earned school letters in football and basketball. They were becoming better players every year under the coaching of Mr. Douglas, who was both the Principal and Coach. The team was playing well, and winning most of the time. Even if they did lose they always remembered to be good sports. Miss Earnest was the Senior ll home room teacher. This year we were getting a little impatient listening to other people talk about the dignified seniors, knowing that this was what we were supposed to be next year. Time creeped by for us until at last the final exams were over, which we celebrated by having a class picnic at Blue Pond. Each of us took a big lunch in order to be able to spend the whole day. Everything was fun, including the swimming, diving, racing across the pond, and the constant search for drinking water. Every one was blistered, but such a thing seemed trivial compared to the fact that the next day we were all Senior lll's. We lived through the Summer somehow, impatiently waiting for our Senior year. September finally arrived and we were really Seniors at' last. Often during the last five years we were doubtful as to whether we would ever attain this most important title. We thought that we would feel differently and somewhat superior, but this feeling did not last long, because soon we were back to the old grind. By this I mean the routine, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Yes, even Seniors have to study. We started our senior year off with a new Principal, Mr. Aikens, a new Coach, Mr. Lockridge, and a new home room teacher, Mrs. Johnson. The going looked rough, but soon we came to love them all. Mrs. Johnson helped us in many ways. First in getting started on our annual, by sponsoring the amateur contest, and a Miss Cordova Contest. The girl chosen for Miss Cordova was Ruby Nell Cooper, from the Senior I Class. The Seniors had several girls entered in this contest, but I suppose age does spoil beauty a little. Hattie Hope Caldwell made up for this defeat by winning the sponsor race. Several of the boys from the Senior Class distinguished themselves in different sports, such as football, and basketball. Our Co-Captains, Jack Mott or better known as Spotlight, and Herbert Ivey, proved themselves worthy of the title. Other outstanding players from our class were Allen Gilbert, Leon Laird, and Larry McGinty. These boys were also good basketball players. The team won third place in the B division of the District Tournament. Herbert Ivey joined the Marines after football season. Four of the six cheerleaders for the team were from the Senior Class. Head cheer- leader was Bobbie Nell Langley, and the others were Audie Pate, Ann Akins, and Jackie Abel. The second semester we had a new home room teacher, Mr. Boshell. He was liked by everyone. Now that we have done everything we possibly can in school, we hope to carry all these happy memories with us into the future. We also hope to find more happiness with the knowledge we have acquired. -AUDIE PATE. GLASS PIIIIPIIEIIY On this day of September 2, 1967, I have just received a letter from the Board of Education informing me that I will be transferred to Cordova to teach in Cordova High School, as the Senior lll sponsor. By the next week, I am in my old home town and will teach at the place where I had so many happy hours. On Monday morning when I enter my classroom I find that many of my students are children of my former classmates. In the first row, I see a little fat boy that reminds me of someone I knew in school. When the names are passed in, I find he is the son of a great broker and his wife, Davis and Jean Sampieri. The door opens and three most attractive girls enter. They are the daughters of who were formerly Jack Abel, and Bobbie Nell Langely. They are chewing gum and talking ninety miles a minute. Chips off the old block. Sitting quietly in a corner is a curley headed boy, son of Joyce H. Naramore. Looks as though her courtesy has been handed down to him. ln another corner where most of the commotion is, I notice a small group of rowdy fellows. I haven't found out their names yet, but I'll bet they are the children of Eugene and Presley Morrow, Bobby Jones, Charles Hollingshead, Weldon Gammon, and W. G. Owen. l can't understand it, really, W. G. wasn't noisy at all. The young man with his feet on the chair and surrounded by a half-dozen girls, is the son of Jack Mott. He has on a jacket similar to that of his father, only there are more stripes. Oh yes! There is a red-headed boy with him, he is the son of the mayor of Cordova, Allen Gilbert. About the noisies? one in the class, is the son of Dorothy Kent, who is manager of the Frog Agger Dress Dealers. I hear that Lola Jean Nation has left her four children with Nell Honeycutt while she goes to Hollywood to make a new picture. Nell doesn't mind this, I know, as she has no children of her own. At recess when I strolled down the familiar halls I saw Hazel and Juanita's daughters with big picnic lunches for the football stars, up to the same old trick. Now for basketball, I find the former Ruby Brooks has two adorable sons on the basketball team as stars. Thomas Borden's son is kind of unhappy today because his father had to use their car and he hasn't a car to carry the senior girls to town in at recess and lunch. I In one of the English classes I teach sits a nice boy. He is the son of Johnnie Morris who is the principle of Cordova High. From Johnnie I find out what all the old class- mates that have moved away are doing. He tells me that Anne Akin married a man who now owns a chain of theaters. I can't find out who he is, but I think I know. At C. H. S. now they have a swimming instructor that is really upon all new tricks of that trade. She is Audie Pate. Ii' seems Marcelle Gurganus runs the Creamery in Cordova now. His waitresses are Cleo Odom, and Irene Hodges. Herbert Rice is doctor for Pisgia Hollow Coal Company. His assistant is Leon Aldridge. Virginia Roberts owns the Wash Your Own Laundry, in the down town section -of Cordova. Hardy Naramore is distilling spirits of hair tonic in Sleep Hollow. For the best call on him. Larry McGinty is teaching Chemistry and he is really filling the shoes of Mr. Barton. The very attractive young lady surrounded by the boys is the daughter of Smooch Laird, who owns the new modern drug store now. I hear Odell Gurganus has no children of her own but is teaching in grammar school. After all these years Kate Nations is still recuperating from Mr. Barton's strenuous Chemistry class. She never did learn to make a foam fire extinguisher from Sulfuric Acid and Bicarbonate of Soda. Margaret Russell is a Nurse's Aid and is trying to establish a hospital for dumb animals at Borden Town. Hattie Hope Caldwell is now teaching at Skeeter Ridge, Arkansas. She finally learned the difference between a Charley Horse and a Hang Over. Faye Gilbert owns the most exclusive ladies apparel store in Cordova. She has as her floor-walker, Louie Sides. For her models there are Genella Harris, Waunice Trammell, and Bettie Amason. Kenneth Davis is a mechanic for lvlissala Bus Line. Well, finding all 'the Seniors of '48 as leaders of Cordova and have made such a success, it will be a better place to live. -KATE KIRKPATRICK. I 5 QQWY A 9 'fny C he PM ' X X F ff 3, yn Vi 0 .

IT HAPPE llll LIKE Tlll The Cordova Blue Devils had a very successful football season, winning 5, losing 3, tying l. We opened the season a week early with Parrish High, at Cordova. We were not ready for this game as a result of a new coach and running from a new formation. Cordova won the toss and received, but had to kick on fourth down. Parrish made long drives to the Cordova goal line and managed to score in the first quarter, making the score 6-O at the end of the first period. Cordova came back strong the second quarter and scored on a pass from Lockhart to Thompson with Burnett kicking the extra point. This made the score 7-6 in our favor at the half. ln the last half Parrish made short, consistent gains to score in the final quarter to win the game I2-7. Since this was the earliest football game in the county, Cordova had one of the largest crowds -that has ever turned out before to see the football game. The second game was with Columbiana. We won by a score of I2 to O. The third game was with Dora. Cordova had a few iniured men from the Colum- biana game bul' otherwise looked good. We won this game by a score of 14 to O. The fourth game was with Curry. Many of our best players were not eligible to play because they had failed their work the week before. We lost a fight but really we did pretty good with some of our best players out. The fifth game was with West Jefferson, there. There were plenty of seats on the bus as almost half the entire squad was not dressing out because of failing their school work and some were injured. We lost but the boys who played in this game will never forget or be ashamed of losing it becausethey out fought and out played 'the big and confident W. J. H. S. team a while. The sixth game was with Carbon Hill, there. The team was in a good mental shape but not so good physically. We won this game by a score of 7 to O. The next game was the Walker game. Everyone talked, a'Z'e, and slept football the week before the game was to come off. The entire school was in an uproar because this was the big game in which C. H. S. Blue Devils were for the underdogs. The team practiced hard that week because we had rather win this game than any other. We were repaid by tying them O-O. The next game was with Oakman. This was Homecoming for old Cordova High and everyone was in high spirits. The parade was beautiful and the Sponsor and Maids were pretty too. With the hearty cheers of the cheerleaders and the other put together we won this game by a score of 7-0. Our last' game was with Meek and once more the Blue Devils were the underdogs. But we managed to win this game by a score of 2-0. This ended a very successful season for the Blue Devils. -JACK MOTT. 0 ll UIIEEIILE 0 HAI , :hx ,K W T?

The team went through the regular season winning about 2j3 of their games, with every one looking forward to the County and District Tournament. The County Tournament was played at Dora with seven teams taking part. Curry was sceeded. Cordova won from Dora by a score of 26 to l8. This win slated us against Walker County in the semi-final, which we lost and were defeated again by Carbon Hill in Consolation. After the County Tournament we had a week to practice before the District Meet, which we made use of. Our hopes were dimmed somewhat when Coach Lockridge returned from Birmingham to inform us we were to play Holt High School of Tuscaloosa County, who had won T6 out of I7 games and was seated third in the B-Division. Game time was 9:00 Thursday night. Most of the people 'thought it was rough luck to draw a team like that the first game. Some of the people said we played over our heads, but we won. The score Zig-zaged all through the game, with us leading one minute and them the next. We had to play a 3 minute over time period with Gene Morrisshooting the winning two points. The final score was 29 to 27 in our favor, This win slated us against Dora, Friday at l:OO. We took Dora by the score of 33 to 25. This put us in the semi-finals, dgainst Curry who had won the Walker County Championship. Curry defeated us in the last quarter of the game by the score of 43 to 28. Cordova was ahead at the half but we let them pull ahead in the last quarter. This put Curry and Cornor in the final with Cordova to play Thompson for third place honors. At the end of the first quarter the score was l l to 3 in favor of Thompson. We pulled ahead in the Third quarter by an 8 point lead. But they tied the game again in the closing minute. Tommy Myers slapped one in for the winning two points and we beat them 31-29. Cordova won third place and a trophy which looked mighty good to us. Coach Lockridge therefore won third place in football and third place in the fifth district. Johnny Morris played till the twenty first year old age rule got him in the early part of the season. From there on most of the time it was McGinty, Short, and Myers to get the points and Morris, Mott and Russell to play the floor game. Russell and McGinty made the second string all district team. We were really proud of our record rnade in basketball this year and we hope that the team of i948-49 will do as good and even better. ' -JACK MOTT.
