s I I TUDENTS WHO UNSELFISHLY VOLUN¬ TEER for the work groups are vivid examples of school spirit and loyalty in action. Stage crew members become expert in the many intricate processes necessary for a success¬ ful production. Experience gained while producing shows makes crew mem bers equally at home hanging from the bridge to change light bulbs, moving scenery, or supplying sound effects. Among the busiest of Senior’s people are the office assistants. These eighteen girls, who place service to the school above their own personal convenience, work in the of¬ fices during their study period. There they are deluged with names that have to be located in the files for Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Anderson, or Mrs. Malone. Acting as re¬ ceptionists, making telephone calls, deliver¬ ing messages, and doing general steno¬ graphic chores are just routine matters to these efficient girls. 4 ! fa mi jflUaifr THE BOOKROOM STAFF — Clockwise: Howard Carr, Robert Turner, Mr. L. W. Anderson, Sidney Oliver, Peyton Neal. Another hard-working group is the book room crew. They are responsible for all of the sixteen thousand text books used in Senior’s classes. They really work when teachers flood the book room with requisi¬ tion blanks. After books are issued there is a lull, with only an occasional request for books to be put back on the shelves, or found, dusted off and counted out for use. Final job for the year is finding space once more on the shelves for the shabby volumes. SCHOOL STORE MANAGER, Mr. Stanley Johnson, is shown with assist¬ ants Joan Moring, Carolyn Paschal, Kay Kuykendall. 10

MAY QUEEN Julianna Clark is crowned by Student Body President Jimmy Jordan before attendants, escorts, and admirers. Beauty and fun take over r LJorgeous gowns, spotless white jackets, perfect weather and an appreciative audi¬ ence made May Day 1955 a fabulously lovely pageant. The lawn was never more splendid, the throne with its background of massed foliage never more appropriate for a queen to occupy. Nor did any may pole or amplifying system, any activities band or master of ceremonies ever seem better prepared for approaching responsibilities. To the stately strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” the court attendants and their handsome escorts made their entrance. AFTER THE PROGRAM Queen Julianna is escorted from the throne, followed by honor attendant Josie Ward with Charlie Quinn. 20
