If they are, when this book is removed from some dark and obscure corner, our purpose will have been accomplished. To Mr. Moore, Mr. Meacheam, and Mr. Colvin go our appreciation for all they have done. Editor WILLIAM O. MASSEY JUANITA MYERS MARY JO BARNETTE LONNIE MORFORD PHYLLIS JETT When the bell sounded for school to begin on September 17, 1945, twenty-six answered present to Mrs. Christine Sim’s roll call. We entered Deming High School with great hopes for a future of success in the academic field. Like most other high school classes, we have been beset by great losses in the number of classmates who have quit school, some through channels of matrimony and other because of general discouragements. At the beginning of our Sophomore year seven had dropped out; however, we had gained five. Our class then numbered twenty-four. Our second year was highlighted by our sponsoring the Sweetheart Banquet. Of course in this as in everything else in the past three years we were ably assisted by our sponsor Mrs. Lucille Sandifer. At the beginning our Junior year we numbered fourteen. This year passed uneventfully until the closing of the year when we entertained the Seniors and Faculty at Bracken County Dam with a weiner roast followed by roller skating at the rink in Brooksville. Our fourth year was one of woe for the gallant thirteen who returned. We were beset by many troubles, the greatest being Mrs. Sandifer’s resignation necessitated by illness. As the Star brought hope and inspiration to the Magi so has the willingness to help on the part of the other members of the Faculty brought hope and expectations to the Seniors. As this annual goes to press we are planning our Senior play, our Senior trip to New Orleans and many other thrilling events. 8 W£ and dJestament We, the Seniors of Deming High School, Class of '49, being of sound mind and body do declare this to be our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave our memory to give them patience and endurance in teaching the remaining classes. To the Juniors we leave our beloved home room along with all the history notes and workbooks to be found in the desks. To Mrs. Sandifer, our beloved home room teacher for three years of our academic career, we bequeath our utmost appreciation for the patient guidance she so generously gave. E. C. Thomas leaves his wit and humor to Gene Browning, but prefers to keep Rosalyn for himself. Donald McBrayer leaves his ability to conceal pictures of fictitious girls to James Allen Poe. Wayne Selby leaves his dates with Connie, Marilyn and Lela to Elwood “Tootie Linville. John King, Jr. wills his endurance at poker playing in the wee hours of the morning to Foster Ogden. Nolan Craig leaves his conversational ability to Ann Ross Holmes. Donnie Morford leaves her ability to carry ten subjects to Wilburn Whaley. Mary Jo Barnette leaves her office position to Lelia Rose Clark, along with the work that goes with it. Mary Lou Hildreth wills her position as Capt. of Cheerleaders to Joyce Massey and her short stature to Lucy Fooks. Phyllis Jett leaves her blond hair and blue eyes to Betty Henderson and her sweet disposition to Ann Overbey. Norma Howard leaves her trim figure to Martha Mitchell and her quiet disposition to Jimmy Hall. Juanita Myers leaves her ability to drive safely, and carefully to Paul Allen Wells. Betty Stoker wills her talents to entertain “gentlemen friends to Constance Craig. W. O. Massey leaves his “little black address” book to Carmen Burns. 9 ' (Editor’s Note: In June, 1959, the following article, written by Norma Howard, appeared in the Tribune Democrat.) Time: 1949 Place: Deming High School Gym Occasion: Reunion of graduating class of 1949. cu After a decade of establishing ourselves in the field of our choice, we the Senior Class of 1949 decided it was time for a reunion at “our old Alma Mater. The first to arrive was Mary Jo Barnette, our Class President, who found pleasure in telling us of her work as Assistant to Dr. Moore, Head of the Department of History at the University of Kentucky. Next to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. John King, Jr. (formerly Donnie Morford). They were accompanied by a “young King.” Mary Lou Hildreth joyfully told us that she had been made Superintendent of Nurses at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. Juanita Myers is no longer known as the bashful girl. “ She found great pleasure in telling us of the careful life of a “spinster” who loves books, rocking chairs and cats. Phyllis Jett has become a private secretary, her ambition since High School days. She is in the employment of the Meacham Brokage. Los Angeles, California. Donald McBrayer has lived up to our high expectation, he is now Editor of the Tribune Democrat, a local and independent journal devoted to the interests ofRobertson and adjoining counties. Don stands for “Purity of thought, purity of action—the noblest outbursts of a generous nature.” Nolan Craig and wife, alias Norma Howard, told us of their huge success in farming. Nolan is one of the most successful farmers in the state. Glancing around looking for an experienced homemaker, the former Bettey Stoker informed us that she could give us many useful “household hints.” Wayne Selby, bachelor, gladly told us many exciting experiences as owner of the Rose-lawn Cassino. Dr. W. O. Massey was last to arrive as usual--he was delayed by a maternity case, twins born to the wife of E. C. Thomas. This event prevented E. C. from attending. Each of us greatly enjoyed the reunion, indulging in reminiscence and comparing experiences which awakened in our hearts many happy memories of those four happy years spent at Deming High School. We decided June of 1969 would be suitable for another occasion such as this. 10 Foster Ogden uniors President......................Foster Ogden Vice President...............Ralph C.
