Deming High School - Devil Yearbook (Mount Olivet, KY)

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1937, twenty-one students registered at Dem ng High School as Freshmen, twelve girls and nine boys. On the first rung of “The Ladder of Success,” but in a few weeks three or four cf cur little group became discouraged and left school. Gradually they kept leaving one by one until at the end of the year we had only fourteen, but they carried on their work very well. Of course it was all new and naturally we were always expecting help from the upper classmen. But the sad part of it was that we did not always succeed, nevertheless we did not become discouraged for we knew we had to take the bad points as well as the good ones. The next year fourteen entered as Sophomores, but before the end of the second semester one of our girls decided she would rather be a housewife than a school student. Later in the summer we learned that another one of our girls had chosen housekeeping instead of school. We now have twelve in number, which we hope will return next year. IK] | Since we are about to finish ou: Junior year at Deming High we feel that we are nearing “The Ladder of Success.” We hope to be one of the most outstanding Senior classes that has ever departed from Deming High School.

 ► JUNIOR CLASS POEM As Jolly Juniors of Deming High, I tell the truth, I cannot lie. We’re the smartest class you’ve ever seen. Although as Freshmen, we were very green. Dear little Robert, who is our pet, Is the biggest pest we have ever met. Marion Grace is quite a clown, There is always fun when she’s around. Xathalee Thomas, who goes in a run, Prefers a book to a night of fun. Wanda Lynn is now down South, But we still remember her big mouth. Frances French, our glamour girl, Keeps the boys in a whirl. Genevieve, our Jewelry queen. To look at her is quite a scene. Mildred Gifford prefers the “Days” to Knights,’ And she’s one w'ho always demands her rights. Margaret is quiet and always neat. The most conspicuous part is her big feet. Karl Mack, our Dentist’s son. When he is called, never goes in a run. Mark Bradley, whom we know as Tag, Goes around chewing the rag. Marion Wheary, songbird of the class, Wears Jewelry made of brass. Stanley French now drives a Whippett, This ends my tale, so Just skip it
