Enterprise High School - Encoala Yearbook (Enterprise, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1953 volume:

Published by THE ENCOALA STAFF Coffee County High School Enterprise, Alabama VOLUME XVI 1953 Forever occupy your thoughts with education. Confucius (551-478 B. C.) molded the Chinese thinking of twenty-four hundred years into a philosophy of living. Through his proverbs this Sage of China ex- pressed his five cardinal principles of humanity, upright- ness, decorum, wisdom, and truth. The staff of the 1953 ENCOALA has chosen his ideas to convey to you the meaning that your high school days should hold for you. If you should glance through these pages again, and they should refresh the pleasant memories of our school days spent here, we shall consider our purpose accomplished, our work a success. To know what we know, and know what we do not know, that is understanding.

ARMOR Batchelor of Science State Teachers College, Troy Mrs. Josephine C. Armor has been assistant principal of the Enterprise Junior High School for nine years. During this time she has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body. The phase of work for which stud- ents especially remember Mrs. Armor, is her untiring effort in preparing them for the transition from junior high to senior high school. In addition to her school work, Mrs. Armor is active in civic and church work. Because of her loyalty and untiring efforts, we dedicate the 1953 edition of the Encoala to Mrs. Josephine C. Armor. Void of hatred and greed, what but good work does she do? Be tireless of spirit and faithful at work Assistant Principal of Enterprise Junior High School since 1944. MR R. L. BATES Batchelor of Science Master of Science Birmingham Southern University of Alabama This Encoala has been produced by the thought, study, and work of a large group of students guided by its faculty advisors. May the experiences of such production serve as an incentive for continued thought and study. The book depicts the personalities and activities of the Coffee County High School for 1952-53. It is my sincere wish that such a record will bring back many fond memories to its readers in the years to come, and that these memories will help to enrich the lives of those who turn its pages. Study without thought is vain; thought without study is dangerous. ” Looked at from a distance, he appears stern; when approached, he is mild; when he is heard to speak, his language is firm and decided.

The Student Council has tried to help the school in every way that was possible this year. As a means of eliminating traffic in the halls, the members marked certain stairs for up” traffic and certain ones for down traffic. It also sponsored a drive at school for boxes, consisting of fruits and canned goods, to be turned over to the Welfare Department.

The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Mary Ruth Lewis, has just finished a very active year. This group gave a patriotic program in November, a Christmas Cantata In December, participated in the Spring District Choral Festival in Troy and sent eight of its members to the Clinic Choir. It also gave a Spring Concert and assisted with music at commencement and other programs throughout the year. Membership in the Glee Club is open to all students. I did not suppose that music could reach such heights.
