On the next step, we become full-fledged high schoo1ers --we were freshmen. That year we began playing an important role in the school activities. We were admitted tto most of the senior high assemblies and that made us feel very important. Frank Ellis was again elected President of the A section with Georgia Dean, Vice-President, Joyce Abshire, Secretary, Peggy Ellis, Treasurer, and Thelma Ellis was again elected as the student council representative. Again, we had part of the Hallowe'en highlights . Thelma Ellis and R. D.Allen were crowned Hallowe'en Princess and Prince, respectively. Our next step was that of confidence--we were more sure of ourselves. Class officers of l0A were Frank Gesticulate Ellis, President, Buck Ellis, Vice-President, Thelma Ellis, Secretary, Beverly Edwards, Treasurer, and Thelma and Beverly were also elected as the student council representatives. About the most important event that took place in our lives that year was Sophomore Kid Day . April 27, 1950 saw a group of little boys and girls roaming around the high school with short pants, short dresses, bright hairbows, lollipops, teddy bears, dolls, and so many other typical kiddie things . Lyn- wood Davis and Jo Ann May were judged the most typical kiddies that day. Josephine Wall represented the tenth grade as cheerleader that year and held the position for two years. Offices for the 10B section were: Gaynell Paynter, President, Jo Ann May, Vice-President, Dayneze Stone, Secretary, Nancy Justice, Treasurer. The next step had agreat deal to do with money. Our junior play Hillbilly Courtship was a great success and that we will always remember. We sold candy at the ball games to supplement our finances, for that year we honored the seniors with a banquet and a prom. The banquet theme was that of Hawaii. There were palm trees, Hawaiian songs, leis, and even a hula dancer. Josephine Wall was master of ceremonies and speeches were given by Frank Ellis, Dayneze Stone, Thelma Ellis, and Georgia Dean of the junior class. After the banquet, the memorable evening was climaxed with dance held in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. Music for this gala occasion was furnished by Dana Dorsey and his -orchestra. We all agreed that it was THE BEST banquet and prom that had ever been held at GHS. Class officers of llA were Frank Ellis, President, Buck Ellis, Vice-President, Thelma Ellis, Secretary, Beverly Edwards, Treasurer, Thelma and Beverly were again elected as student council representatives and Thel was also elected president of the student council. Class officers of llB were Dayneze Stone, President, Susie Walsh, Vice-President, Nancy Justice, Secretary, Dorothy Trent, Treasurer, and Alice Lester and Jack Phipps were elected student council representatives. At last we have entered the final phase of our high school days--we are seniors. Frank Ellis is once again the class president, Dayneze Stone, Vice President, Thelma Ellis, Secretary, Alice Lester, Treasurer, and R. D, Allen, Gary Cline, Alice Lester and Thelma Ellis are the student council representatives. These four seniors hold the offices of the student council--Thelma Ellis, President, Gary Cline, Vice-President, Alice Lester, Secretary-Treasurer, and R. D. Allen, Patrol Captain. Phyllis Davis and Josephine Wall are the senior cheerleaders. R. D. Allen was crowned Hallowe'en King and Phyllis Davis was the Queen Runner-Up. We have also reached that step which we must ascend to enter that certai.n phase of life that was memtioned--or I guess I should say, a platform. We have preparai our- selves in a very small way to take this step and before us, we see another flight of steps we must ascend. Some of these steps will have hardships, some sadness, and others happiness. All of these unforgettable years will be placed in our minds as if in a book. Once in a while--when we're old and don't have very much to do--we shall take this book from its shelf and thumb through it, trying to recapture all of the hardships and happinesses with which we were so wonderfully blessed. And then, we can thank our Lord God for everything from the bottom of our hearts. i I -, U 1 Q i 'tx 2 T X o . v ' fu I qi'-iff' - xiii Q 1 ':f.,.,, . - -f W- ' , 4- , 4-- 'W ' ' ' r ,,.n,,e:.,a,,,.:.
