HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’48 On this day of our Lord May 31, 1948, I, Emma Joyce Sadler, do present to all present true and faithful history of the 1948 Senior Class of the Groesbeck High School. In our Freshman year Ersel Carroll, Elton Cargile, Thomas Franklin, Lonnie Dougan, Charles Shipp, Harmon Spikes, Elnora Daniels, Emily Garrett, Barbara Southard, Betty Lou Thompson, Johnny Wakefield, D. T. Webster, and Mildred Kil-patric withdrew from our class. Students entering our class were: Russell de Cordova, Janette Reeves, Nellie Reeves, Royce Gene Glover, Janette Engram, and Margaret Ray Wiley. Dave Gilliam, James Hulce, Mellie Ayres, Robert Rawls, Della Kilpatric , Billy Stone, Maxine Stone, Davie Shields, Mildred T ay lor, Teague Taylor, Billy Wilson, Betty Alford, Dorla Pruitt, June Davis, and Maye Bell W ilson joined our class as Sophomores. By the beginning of our Junior year Della Kilpatric, Thomas Stewart, Dave Gilliam, Mellie Ayres, Russell de Cordova, Robert Rawls, Teague Taylor, James Hulce, and LaVerne Ferguson left our class to attend elsewhere. In our Junior year Helen Ater, James Peery, Wanda Ray, Wendell Roberts, Billy Thetford, and Bobby Pearce joined us. After a year at Corpus Christi, Emma Garrett decided she liked good old G. H. S. so she came back. At mid-term Billy Jones, Helen Ater, and Forest Dick withdrew Wendell Roberts was lucky enough to leave just in time to miss the final tests. W ins ton Upshaw, W illie Kate Lummus, and Maye Bell Wilson dropped from our class as Juniors. Mildred Taylor, Wanda Ray, Nellie Reeves, and Janette Reeves decided that their education wasn’t as important as keeping house for their husbands. Loreta W right is the only Senior girl to enter this year and remain with the graduating class. Cullen Wilson, Charles Bennett, and Charles Burke are our Senior students who have been in the service and entered our class this year. W. M. Benson, Gilbert Blackmon, and Dorothy Bruce entered our class after mid-term. Gilbert Blackmon is going to graduate in Talco where he studied the other three and one-half years. Mary Helen Mar shall dropped school in her Senior year and got a nice Christmas present--her husband. Juanell Cox got her man too, but she decided she would finish school before she devoted all of her time to being a housewife. Of course, there are always some people that like school well enough that they will go another term. Those being, Gordon Brown, Roy Little, Eugene Shugart, and Billy Pate, but we have enjoyed having them. During our four years of school. Miss Stella Wilkinson, Mr. Charles Laurence, Mr. James Easely, and Mr. Frankie Kemble have been our principals. And as for our room mothers, teachers, sponsors, and superintendent, to whom we are deeply grateful, we have all derived a great benefit from your long and faithful work with each of us. This being our day of departure from this school, we leave this one thought: “No matter how bad school seems to you now, when the time of departure comes you will love it.' Good luck to you under-classmen. WILL OF CLASS OF '48 I, Gene Long, in my right mind and sound health now make this the last will of the Senior Class of 48 of Groesbeck High School. The will is as follows: Betty Alford and Charles Bennett leave their good companionship for one another to Holloway Martin and Margaret O’Hara. June Davis and Janette Engram leave their new type lipstick to Betty Webster. (Kissum and Keepum kindlll) Billy Tom Rand and Margaret Wiley will their good company to James Lindley and Elizabeth Hancock. (Can’t you all ever get along?) Juanell Cox Fisher leaves her ability to change her name to Dolly McClinton. Joyce Carpenter, Ava Lee Walker, and Nadine Popejoy leave their ability to stick together for good ole LaSalle to Barbara Jordan and Mary Goodrich. Emma Sadler, Bobby Noel, Betty Clancy and Loreta Wright will their love to fight for dear ole Box Church to Johnnie Little and Martha Slaughter. Keep up the good work!!! Emma Garrett wills her interest in A M to Pat Garrett and RuthNeudendorfer. How about that? ? ? ? Davie Shields, Rubinell Raborn and Betty Hughes leave their little out of town address book to Jolene Kidd and Marlene Robertson. Cullen Wilson and Calvin Robertson leave their whiz brains for Trigonometry to Loren Curlee. Boy, you will need it!!! Travis Smith, James Ford, Lee Roy Rader and Billy Kyle Stone leave their path to Mart to C. O. Patterson. Whats over there???? James Peery and Roy Little leave their little saying to Albert Gene Glasco, Arden Wilkinson and Bobby Gill. Don’t forget Box Church. Pauline Henry, Mary Martin, Virginia Hicks and Ouida Buzbee leave their little plan for getting along with the teachers to Mary LeNoir. Keep your ears openand your mouth shut. Billy Stewart, Jackie Lloyd, Billy Mills, Kenneth Comer and Billy Henderson leave their little hiding place to James Popejoy and Sambo Wiley. Where is it boys???? James Oswalt, Charles Burke, Jack Smith and Charles Dug an will their ability to get along with the girls to Hiram Watson and Billy Aman. Gilbert Blackmon leaves his special phone directory to Albert Gene Glasco. (All under-classmen) Billy Pate, Eugene Shugart, Bobby Parmley and Bobby Pierce will their fast talking tongues to get the news around to Billy England and Willard Dougan. Keep the news rolling!!! Dorothy Bruce and Elaine Yarbrough will their new kind of perfume to Mary O’Neal. Let them smell it and they faint type. Gordon Brown leaves his ability to leave school and go duck hunting to Leslie Black. How about that ? ? ? ? Billy Thetford and W. M. Benson leave their scheme to avoid the girls to Billy Hendrix. Just turn your head, thats all 11! John Wiley and John Deen Rader will the new way to catch the girls to Holloway Martin. Joan Hadaway leaves to Janie Vinzant her way of keeping her man. How is it done, Joan ? ? ? ? I now declare this for the last will I am making for the Senior Class of 1947-1948 of Groesbeck High School this 31st day of May. PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’48 May 31, 1958-Dear Diary, this morning I awoke early, anxious to be off on my trip and to meet my friend that I would study medicine with in Vienna, on recommendation of Professor Calvin Robertson. When the taxi drove up, the driver looked familiar, but not until he spoke did I realize that it was Charles Burke. We talked about our classmates, and as we passed a shiny new building, he told me it w a s “The Oswalt Studios where James Oswalt taught dancing with his assistants, Allison Plummer, Gilbert Blackmon and Dorla Pruitt. Also, Virginia Hicks and Elaine Yarbrough were stenographers there with Betty Clancy as bookkeeper. He then told me of the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. John Wiley (the former Loreta Wright) and also that Betty Alford and Charles Bennett were married but lived elsewhere. As we stopped for a red light who would walk across the street but Billy Stone. We talked to him and learned that he and John Deen Rader were lawyers, with Dorothy Bruce as their secretary. As we came to the airport, Dr. W. M. Benson came dashing out to get a taxi; he said his nurse, Mary Martin, had just called and told him there was an emergency call--Jackie Lloyd and Bobby Parmley had been experimenting at their job and had mixed the wrong chemicals together again. I said good-bye to W. M. and went to breakfast. A s 1 walked in the Coffee Shop, I was surprised to see Billy Pate and Cullen Wilson sitting at a table. I went over to speak to them, and soon we were talking over old times. I was more surprised when waitress, Joyce Carpenter, came to take our order. She told us that Joyce Sadler, Joan Hadaway, and Jo Eleene Shamblin were models and Juanell Cox was a famous dress designer. Joyce said that Ava Walker had inherited a fortune and was sponsoring a famous stage play starring Billy Tom Rand and Margaret Ray Wiley, directed by Billy Stewart. We talked on, after Joyce left, and I learned that Roy Little was a great inventor and was working on a pocket telephone. Cullen added that Eugene Shugart and Gordon Brown were famous football coaches in California. He also told me that Pauline Henry was the head librarian of a great library which handled only Billy Henderson’s famous works. I was just finishing my coffee when a couple came in--Davy Shields and Billy Mills. They began talking, and I learned that Davy was a writer and also that Ouida Buzbee and Billy Thetford were happily married. She told me that Nadine Popejoy was a bank cashier. Billy, a reporter, told me of covering a famous troop back from a tour of Europe and finding, as members, Travis Smith, Jack Smith, James Ford, and Charles Dougan, as a quartet, and Emma Garrett and Rubinell Raborn as opera stars. Maxine Stone was along with her husband, Travis. While we were sitting there, two men with long beards and brief cases, and also a bodyguard, came in. Billy went over to interview them, but soon began talking to them like he knew them. He came back and told us that they were two scientists. Gene Long and James Peery and the reason for the bodyguards, Kenneth Comer and Bobby Pierce, was that they had found a way to convert atomic energy as power for kiddie cars. As I paid my check, I found Betty Hughes as cashier at the Coffee Shop. I met June Davis at the airport and we felt quite safe on the plane with Lee Roy Rader as pilot and Bobbie Noel as hostess. Dear Diary, 1 11 close this time, happy that I saw or heard of the class, but it will be much better when we can be together again at the class reunion.
