Kerstner, Treas. (not in the picture) We, the graduates of the class of 1950, wish to express our apprec- iation to the Board of Education for their nart in making Dexter High School as fine as it is. —3— Superintendent From the very beginning of manfs struggle for knowledge, self-res- oecl, and the recognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest ally. For centuries, the masses were keot in ignorance and greed and oppression ruled with an iron hand. With the oublic school all have an ooportunity to become enlightened. Let us keep our public schools free and strong. Principal Each cf us should seek to bolster his endeavors to teach people to live together through the development of a sense of unity with our fellow men and with those of goodwill, in ages past and ages yet to come.

Those who began then and are to be graduates now from ole' DHS were Joe Abney, Peggy Ballard, Marilyn Barks, Willard Bean, Nina Creed, Gale Crowe, Billy Darrell, Bobby Dodd, Jo Ann Duley, Gene Gaines, Norma Gaines, Peggy Gales, Kenneth Jenkins, Jack Jennings, William Kimbrel, Charles Locke, Glenda Milton, Dallas Parks, and 3uddie Woods. During our second year, we added to our mischievous little group, Martha Anne McCracken, and Betty Jo Hendricks. The tnird grade we welcomed Marjorie McClard to our group, and by tnis time w.e certainly gave Miss Mc uary and Kiss Kraft a tussel to keep us all working. Oh! Yes! We mustn't leave Dale Boone out, he, too, joined us this year. Marjorie left us during our fourth year. The fifth grade we added Kenneth Hillis to our group. Marjorie McClard came back, but Kenneth Jenkins and Dale Boone left us. At last we were in the sixth grade, and we could move upstairs, and believe it or not, we had six teachers. My how we were growing, and by this time Dale Boone was ready to rejoin us. In our seventh year, Wilson Jarrell, Delois Eskew, Lucille Edwards, Barbara Shipman, and Myrtle and Georgie Neal came to see if they would like our school. They did and they stayed with us. In the eighth grade, a few of us felt as if we should know as much as the teachers and were quite over bearing. J. W. Fulkerson joined us this year, and Kenneth Jenkins came back to stay. By the way, we mustn't leave out Bobby Robinson, who came to join our class this year. Our first year in hi h school and were we ever green fresnmen. ..e saw many uo.v xaces, most of which came from rural districts, but some came from other towns. All to eth-r there were 3 new persons in our fresnmen class. Alter a while we found out their names were Mary Asbell, Kverett Bisnop, Lois Brown, Gladys fields, Calvin frame, Caryl Henderson, who in our freshmen year was i.f.A. ueen, Wayne Hutchcraft, Carrol Hill, Bobby Irvin, Gervis Kincey, Jo Ann LaRue, .anda Lawrence, J. C. Matthews, Duane McKay, Louise McColloUfh, Lois McDaniels, Georgia Miller, due Miller, Barbara Payne, Russell r.iusgrove. Buddy Phillips, Charles Pippins, Gerald Pippins, Betty Potter, ..anda Shipman, Sammy Sturgess, D rothy Swinger, Annetta Tracer, James y'-rnou, Dorothy waggoner, Leon .vara, Reva Lee Williams, Lavonne Woods, Ann Yarbro, Donald Youn_. Mrs. smith was a bia help as our sophomore sponsor, and we bav6 a dance wnen y.e played hast Prarie in football. This year Junior Godfrey, Gene Gunter, Bill Jones, June Jonv. , Dorothy Miley, and lima Olds all came to cast their lot with us. Durin_ our Junior year, we chose our class rin s, which made us feel as if the time was near at hand. This was the year that we gave our big Junior-Senior Prom, wnich was very colorful and which received many nice com- pliments. Bill and John Lamberson came to us from Gideon this year. 1ir lenior year had finally rolled around, and for s me reason we weren't so proud to see it, for we knew we would soon be leavinfe old acquain- tances and the familiar halls we knew so well. Judy Gaddis, Harold James, Bobby 13be 1, Bill Lasater, and Mary Lou Hamlin brou6ht our enrollment to 80, the largest class ever to have graduated from Dexter High School. Witn tne help of our two wonderful sponsers, Miss Teacnout and Mr. Woodford, we made our closing year a big success. —21— Class Prophecy I, Madam Pzaxteryame, sun going to tell you what lies ahead of the graduates of 1950. I have consulted my crystal ball, and it has shown me what each one of you will do in the future. Please go ahead with me about ten years from now, and this is what you will J'ind. Your short, red-headed classmate, Bobby Robinson, now owns a fleet of taxi cabs down in Florida and is very happy with his helpful wife, the former Mary Asbell. One of his best drivers is Bobby Irvin, who let himself be caught by Gladys Fields. As was expected, Dale Boone and Peggy Ballard got married. They now own the D. P. Dime Store down in Alabama. Speaking of stores, Dave Wheeler is mana6er of the A. P. Store in Cleveland, Ohio, and very happy, because now he is a proud papa. Mildred is doing fine. Norma Gaines has bought a drug store in Tucson, and her husband, Bobby Griffen, is jerking sodas for her. Several of your classmates have remained in Dexter, which is now a booming city. Joe Abney has set himself up in the barber business. He owns the Cleanest Shave In Town Barber Shop and operating in the next chair is J. W. Fulkerson, who is quite handy with a razor. Joe never was. Another fine business is the Pippin Frozen Food Lockers. Of course I mean Charles and Gerald. Helping them are Buddy Phillips and Gene Gunter. If you remember, there use to be a Morgan Furniture Co., but now it is Morgan Woods Furniture Co., since Buddy bought a half interest In it. Bud is not tne only ono to strike it rich. Bob Dodd invented a sure-fire nair grower and he now owns the Dodd Skyscraper. ’ Speaking of the skyscraper, Dorotny Swinger has her office in it. She is Dexter's first woman doctor, and her right and left hands are her nurses Reva Williams and Louise McCollough. On the entire second floor of this huge building are the presses of the Dexter Stateswoman , whose editor. Gale Crowe is a rival of her lather and the Statesman. Higher up, on the twenty-fourth 1 loor is Lavonne Woods' library. Lavonne is yell known for her splendid book reviews. Her efficient helper is wanda snlpman. Under the sign Faultless Garage come the names, Russell Musgroves and Everett Bishop. Russell, now husband to Peggy Gales, says that Peggy still talas as much as ever. Another sign which bears investigating is the one that reads, Miley and Miller Messhall. This is run by Dot Miley and Georgia Mil- ler, and cooking for them is Marjorie McClard--that's why it's called a mess- hall. Head waitress is Sue Miller, who is trying to earn enough money to ask C. Worley to marry her. Appearing under the disguise Qf Sweet “shop is what was once Newt Jennings', and the high scnool kids still go there because of special things Lois Brown and lima Olds serve. At your old stomping grounds in the halls of D.H.S., there has been a few chan-es. Nina Creed is now helping in Mrs. Toner's department, because of the enormous growth of the school. By the way, a new No Error typing machine has been invented by two fellows, whom errors bothered, Duane McKay and Carrol H1H. In the Home Ec. Department Jo Ann Duley has taken over and is doin very fine work. J —22— Do you remember Gerald Atkins and Billy DarrellT Well they manage an outfit of donkeys, which they furnish to put on donkey-ball games. The persua- der of the donkey's is Willard Bean. Dexter has a radio station now, and its head commentator is Wilson Jarrell, whose wife, Betty Jo, is a dress designer for the Fashion Shop. The Fashion Shop is owned by Wanda Lawrence and Annetta Tracer, and two of their best models are Glenda Milton, who is now a distinct red-head, and Judy Gaddis, who married Bill Jones. Bill is quite famous since his novel, Don't Cuss, Call Us , was published. Dexter, not only has a radio station, but a municipal airport, where the head men are Wayne Hutchcraft and Kenneth Jenkins. Out at the Dexter Drive- In, Delois Eskew is supervising the ushering. Believe it or not, Marilyn Barks, who is living in Detroit, is now the mother of three sets of twins, all boys. Down about Pile Town Lucille Edwards is married, picking cotton, and loving it. It's unbelieveable, but Lois McDaniel is going from town to town playing the accordian and leading Bob Sheets on a chain. This won't even shock you. Caryl Henderson and Charles Locke got hit- ched, and now Caryl is taking in washings, and Charles is working on the rail- road. They have four little Lockes. Caryl's pal, June Jones, is now Mrs. L. L. Mobhersbaugh. She and Louie are raising turkeys out west of town. On the farm right next to theirs William Kimbrel and Jack Jennings are batching and not complaining. They aren't the only bachelors left. J. C. Matthews and Calvin Frame are still single. They work for Jo Ann LaRue, who has taken over the La- Rue Packing Plant and is doing a good job of it. As you expected, Dallas Parks is a principal of Morehouse High School, and teaching at Morehouse are Myrtle and Georgia Neal. Harold James is coaching football at Poplar Bluff, but now Dexter and P.B. are friends. Martha McCracken started to go into the teaching profession, but she married Bill Lamberson, and now Bill is taking care of their babies, and Martha is singing over the radio. Bill's brother John won the National Cotton Picking Contest at Blythesville, and Sammy Sturgess placed second. They were good for something. You'll find Bob Isbell and Anne Yarbro married and living near Bernie. Another couple that struck it off good was James Vernon and Dorothy Waggoner, who moved to Michigan, and now live next door to Betty Potter and her husband. On the military front. Bill Lasater and Junior Godfrey have been very outstanding. They are a Captain and Lieutenant respectively. Out in Hollywood, Kenneth Hillis is co-starring with Barbara Payne and Barbara Shipman in the highly publicised movie, I Saw Him First. There are always a few who turn out as the following three do, but it is to be expected. Leon Ward, Gene Gaines, and Donald Young are very well sat- isfied with standing on the bank corner, holding up the bank building. I have told you all that is to happen to you graduates of '50. If it doesn't turn out as I have prophecied, it is due to the enormous crack which has appeared in ray crystal ball. —23— Class Wil w«, the seniors of the class of '50, sound in body and in mind, do hereby bequeath in our last will and testament our most beloved possessions.

Others have entered and some have dropped since then. Just as soon as the football season opened, the class started to make money by selling candy, gum, and hot do6s. This project was carried on throughout the ball season. In addition, the rummage sale netted a nice profit. On Fridays during December, January, and February the class sold sandwiches which proved to be uite successful as well as inter- esting. The highli t of the year was the Junior Play, Babies Nicht Out, which was presented November 17. To our knowledge we made more from our play than any class ever before. One of the most colorful as well as entertaining was the Christmas dance held on December 21. To climax the year’s activities the Junior-Senior ban- quet and prom were held in the spring. We are looking forward to a busy and happy year next year. —32— Juniors Row 1. Harvey Shell, Dean Boone, J. C.

Even our critics must admit that the Sophomore class of 1914.9-50 is very outstanding. We are a large class of 92 mem- bers: Two of our pretty girls have taken top honors in the queen contest, and our (athletes have played an important part on all of the Bearcat Teams. We have even begun to consider nuney making schemes for next year. We had fun too. Our annual class party was held on November the ninth. It helped us to get better acquainted and gave us an opportunity to brush up on our dancing. Because we enjoyed our party so much we are planning to have another all Sophomore dance near the end of the year. Sophomores Row 1.
