Class History The Senior Class of ‘'53°’ began September 5, 1952 with an enrollment of 94 students. In our first class meet ing the following officers were elected: Mary H. Manley, President; Cleora Will- iams, Vice President; Clara Thomas, Secretary; Mary Johnson, Treasurer. How ignorant we were during our fresh- man year, but with the help of our Spon- sor, Mr. T. E. Conway and Mr. xz. O. Himbry we struggled for more know - ledge. During our freshman year Robert L. Green, Odell Branch, Frank Gup- ton and Henry G. Williamson represent- ed us in basketball. Ethel D. Wheless and Clara Thomas were members of the cheering squad. We were well repre- sented in the N,F.A. by Henry Evans, Jordan Harris, Willie Davis, and Joseph Davis. Likewise it came to pass that we were received with malicious glee by 4 certain band of wild beings who were called ‘‘Sophomores. ' In the fall of 50'' our class decreased to 65. We elected Mary Belle Johnson as Presi- dent, Wilbur Williams as Vice Presi- dent, Austina Clemonts, Secretary; and Queen Spivey, Assistant Secretary. These officers, with the help of our sponosrs, Mr. T. E. Conway and Mr. J. O. Himbry, were able to make 50 a very successful year. Members of the basketball team were: Otis Hawkins, Henry G. Williamson, Ernest Kearney, Willie Brodie, Wilbur Williams, Rus- sell Davis Robert Green, Magnolia Perry, Clara Thomas, Cleora will- iams and Mary Helen Manley. Mem- bers of the football team were: Henry G. Williamson, Henry Evans, and Odell Branch. Leora Harris and Louise Ma- bers of the Student Coun- con were mem cil.

Class History In the fall of ‘'51 , full of confi- dence in our ability to uphold the dig- nity of our position and reach our cher- ished goal, Seniority, we elected as President, Henry G. Williamson; Vice President, Clara Thomas; Secretary, Thelma Green; Assistant Secretary, Austina Clemonts; and Treasurer, Henry Evans. Assisting us in reaching our goal were our Sponsors, Mr. T. E. Con- way and Miss L. S. Bradshaw. We had to represent us in basket- ball, Eva Mae Yarborough, Oteen Shear- in, Mary H. Manley, Magnolia Perry, Clara Thomas, Ilean Hawkins, Jordan Harris, Willie Brodie, Willie Davis, Russell Davis, Otis Hawkins, Robert Green, Earnest Kearney, and Henry G. Williamson. We were represented in football by Henry Evans, Jordan Harris, Otis Hawkins, Robert Green, Merlyn Macon, Willie Davis, and Willie Brodie. We were also represented in baseball by Henry, Evans, Jordan Harris, Otis Haw- kins, and Willie Davis. Other activities that members of our class took a part in were the Band, with Ilean Hawkins, Herman Nicholson, and Mary Manley. Ilean Hawkins and Edith Brodie were members of the Mathematics Club. Mil- dred Williamson, Leora Harris, Mozella Allen, Jordan Harris, Henry Evans, and Queen Spivey were members of the Sci- ence Club. Betrice Young, Eva Mae Yarborough, Otean Shearin, and Susie Hilliard were members of the Dramatics Club. After three hard years of work, we prepared a Junior and Senior Prom, with the Seniors as our guests. After our struggle through the years we proudly entered into ''Seniority ’ in the fall of 1952 with 46 members. June A. Edgerton was elected President; Hen- ry Evans, Vice President; Thelma Green, Secretary-Treasurer; Clara Thomas, Assistant Secretary; and Rus- sell Davis, Sargent of Arms. Mr. T. E. Conway was our beloved Sponsor. During the four years our membership decreased by more than one half. How- ever, we were very glad to welcome Sallie Mae Richardson into our fold. It was with pleasure that we watched Thelma Green, Ilean Hawkins, Mary Manley, Mary Belle J ohnson, Sallie Richardson, and Clara Thomas become members of the Crown and Scepter Club. We have been well represented in all the activities of the school this year, foot- ball, basketball, baseball acappella choir, student council, and ‘‘Miss Deb- utante. ' At the close of four years of hard work, we were the guest of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom, held in the gymtorium. Now that these things are about over we are being faced with graduation. It looks as if the end is approaching, but is it really time? Maybe it is or maybe it is not. However, we are looking for- ward to a better and brighter future in which to reach the highest heights life has to offer. Written by: Leora Harris Mildred Williamson
