SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1938 the class of '51 started its long educational ca- reer. Of the original class that started to school in Duncan, there are only seven remaining. They are Donna Lee Lunt, Monty Allred, Jerry Davis, Calvin Sanders, Manuel Mar- tinez, Tommy Dees, and Billy Pennington. The second grade saw Floyd Price join the ranks, and during the third year we were still one class with no addi- tions--and were just beginning to feel our importance. The fourth grade slipped up on us before we knew it. During the busy days of that year we picked up Norma Tuey and Fred Ballard. In the swiftly moving time of the fifth grade we were joined by Maxine Stephens, and altogether we tried our best to drive the teachers crazy. As we entered the sixth grade, we added Peggy Hill to our number. The seventh grade came, and we were allowed to tryout for places on the volleyball and basketball teams --the great- est thrill of our young lives. In September, 1946, we entered the eighth grade with great dignity, and an air of superiority floated about the room. (Still, there was an occasional spit ball flying through the air. ) Then happened the greatest event in the history of Dun- can. WE WERE FRESHMEN. Our class numbered thirty- nine after a few new members including Ruth and Robert McDaniel, Elmer Nasson, Marc Lemieux, Norma Ruther- ford, and Norma O'Dell joined us. In our sophomore year we took Jesse Gilliland to our hearts, and we had the enor- mous pleasure of initiating the new frosh. During our junior year we sold everything we could get our hands on, trying to get enough money for the junior- senior prom. It was a great occasion when we were present- ed our class rings at the banquet. The theme for the ban- quet and prom was Treasure Island, with Red Sails in the Sunset as the theme song. Now we are mighty seniors. With Wanda Brooks added to the class, we number twenty-one. Our academic records here are nearly completed. After this graduation, which we'll never forget, what happens then? Who knows? After all, through the years, we have collected one or two Ein- steins and Betty Grables, so anything can happen. 14
