VVe, the members of that class, pause here at the end of a perfect day to cast a backward glance over the past four years. It is surprising to find that, now that we are ac- tually being graduated, we have not the complete sense of relief that we expected, but, instead, a mingled feeling of reluctance and sadness at departureg and even though we have reached the long-dreamed-of day which has been our goal since first we gathered here, we shall never cast aside the memories of dear experiences and friends. How we have changed, and how many things have hap- pened to us since that eventful day in September, 194-1!!! Of the Hfty-two bewildered freshmen who assembled at Donelson High School, so eager to begin their journey to higher education, only forty remain to graduate. These are hardly recognizable, having passed through a com- plete metamorphosis-from green freshmen to sophisti- cated sophomoresg from jolly juniors to serious seniors. Through all the changing scenes we have been ably guided by several sponsors: Miss Mason, of course, who has been our stand-by throughout the four years, -and quite a procession of others, including Mrs. Swift, Miss Mansheld, Mr. Cass, and Mr. Whitefield. Our class ollicers have helped, also, in directing us toward our goal. When we were freshmen, William Nichols was our class president, but when he left us, we elected Tommy Cloyd, who proved to be such a capable leader that we have kept him on the job ever since. Tommy Cloyd, Billy Spann, and Bobby Baker have been the vice-presidents of the classg Jeanette Pingston, Joyce Nipp, and Jean Summers, the secretariesg Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Joyce Nipp, the treasurers. Yes, we have felt the need for sergeants-at-arms, too, and have been well served by Billy Spann and Johnnie Pickett. In looking back over the four years of our high school career, we are glad to see a few worthy accomplishments on our record. VVe have been well represented in sports. Billy Spann, Tommy Cloyd, and Bill Ezell have played football all four years, Billy Spann making All-City this year. Bill Ezell has four years of basketball to his credit af ill fill P and Tommy Cloyd three. Betty Sue Anderson has been on the basketball team every year, and this time made All-City and All-Tournament Qin District, Unit, and Re- gionalj. She was also voted the most valuable player in the Regional. Another important contribution we have made to sports is R. C. Flowers, who has held a place on the cheering squad ever since he was a freshman. Not only in the field of athletics have we made our mark. Norman Hust and Edward Smith have worked hard in the Future Farmers for four years and have won several trips during this time. Peggy Neal, Irene Peek, and Mamie York have participated in the activities of the Home Economics Club throughout their four years, Peggy has also been a 4-H Club member. Mary Ann Edwards has been a member of the Forensic Club for four years and a member of the N. F. L. for two years. Many honors have attested to her dramatic ability. As a class we have presented some interesting plays. Remember Gallopin' Grandma P We will never forget Here Comes Charlie, with Tommy's skilled manipula- tion of that tea wagon! Our activities as seniors have been as varied and ab- sorbing as everyone told us they would. VVe have estab- lished at Donelson High a chapter of the Beta Club, have published our edition of THE CREST, presented a one-act play Q The Opening of a Door J and a three-act comedy C l lie Mummy and the Mumpsnj. Now as we prepare to write Finis to our high school days, we see much that we would like to do over, many improvements we could have made. However, since we cannot turn back to retrieve our mistakes, we look for- ward with a high resolve for greater achievement in the future. Thus while the sun .sinks down. to rest, Fa-r in the 'regions of the west, I A lingering light he fondly throws On the dear hills zvlmrc first he rose. JOHNNIE MAE BONER l ?
