We have no special directions to leave concerning our funeral,but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: t To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and and apple cores, spitballs, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left behind. We leave also, never to be removed, the eraser splotches on the ceiling on the Band room which we put on during one of our many big eraser fights in the eighth grade. We were the terror of G. H. S. that year! To our principal and superintendent we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, and pleasant memories of our four years together. To our teachers, the faculty of G. H. S., we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it shall be returned. To our teachers we also bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed. The smaller requests are as follows: To the basketball team of next year, the privilege of gazing admiringly at the trophies our team won this year. Charles Shreve leaves his ability to win one to Jimmey Bradley and Waylan Hardison. To the over-ambitious u nd e r g r a d u a t e, if such there be-we leave the attitude of John Nabors. Some people sit and waste time. John just sits. Mary Frances Parmley, Barbara Toney and Freddie Ruth Little, will, give and bequeath cabin no. 18 in the Coronado Courts in Galveston, where they stayed during the Senior Trip, to Teresa Jones, Anne Peaten, Joanna Curlec and Mary McLelland. Paul Gregory and Jimmy Joe Rand leave their ability to get along with the teachers every once in a while to Jimmey Hirth. To the undergraduate who has brains but doesn’t enjoy making a display of them we leave the attitude of Frank Brodnax and Franklin Gayden. Speech is silver, silence is golden. Carolyn Whitehurst leaves her ability to be exempt in all four subjects to the Junior who needs it most. The Trig class of 1950 leave their 100% exemptions to the Trig class of 1951, due only to the expert teaching of Mrs. Natalie Jones. Kenneth Burleson leaves everyone of h i s pigs, raised for his F. F. A. project, that he has been trying to get rid of to Charles McGilvary, Joe Long, James Coe and Foy Johnson. Janie Cox, one of the smallest Senior girls, leaves with us the reminder that lots of nice things come in small packages. Helen Burleson leaves her typing ability to her cousin, Rhoda Goodrich and to Billie Jean White. Helen sometimes gets as many as 20 words per minute! Sonya Gladbach and Bill Blackmon will to Sid Smith and Tommie Jean Anderson their steady companionship in the halls of G. H. S. Bill Browder wills, directs, and gives his bass drum to Jack Hawkins. Beat it. Jack! Lynn Hiller wills, directs, and gives a rather large heart full of love to Lou Toney. Martha Longbotham wills, directs, bequeaths (in other words gives)her V a led icto r ia n brains toJack Hawkins and T. G. Neason, who really need them. lone Rose Little, the gal with brains and a husband, and Irma Grimes, soon to have Mrs. on her name, hereby nominate Josie Beard and Sue Shelton their ability to “get'em and keep ’em! Betty Blake and David Barron will and direct their good times together to Billy Perry and the girl he finally really loves. (This may take years.) James Stockton, along with the other Seniors who played football in 1950 leave their ability to scare the devil out of the Mexia Blackcats to Delaney Barganier. Wayne Eproson, Don Johnson, Elmer Raborn, and Kenneth Roach. Virginia Andrews leaves her favorite song “Blue Moon” to be played by Dwight Brown, Gerald Gibson, Budge Kimbell, and other Juniors who will be members of the band next year. Floyce Pickens. Elva Mae Shockley, Eva Ainsworth, Agnes Gantt, and Jo Dean Hand leave their friendship to the entire Junior class. If the Senior class of next year can stick t o g e t h e r like these five have, some work would really be done. Jo Dean Hand leaves also her volleyball playing to Sue Shelton and Teresa Jones. Both Agnes and Jo Dean leave their interest in Buffalo to two lucky Junior girls. Wendell Outlaw gives all the back seats he’s warmed through high school to Tommy Holton. Wendell also leaves his ability to just sit and stare in Bookkeeping to Gilbert Hickman and Archie Brisendine. For expert advice and all kinds of information see Kenneth Baldree. Linnie Robertson and Alta Beaver will their greatest achievements of the year: Linnie to be nominated for Queen and keep a boy, about 180 miles away, on the hook. Alta to keep one 8 miles away and still play the field. Elizabeth Allison leaves her new-found interest in Mexia to some Junior girl. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint Mr. H. W. Whitehurst executor of this our will and testament, and I direct that no bond or other form of security be required on him as such, and that the courts take no further action hereon than to admit this will to probate and record, and to cause the return of an inventory, appraisement and list of claims as provided by law. In testimony where of I have signed my name hereto, in the presence of the Junior and Senior Classes, my attesting wittnesses, who, at my request and in my presence, and in the presence of each othe r, sign their names hereto on this the 26th day of May, 1950. Jean Jackson T estator SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY OF ’50 As I was sitting at my desk one day trying to type a letter, but not making much progress, I looked up and who do you suppose was standing in front of my desk—none other than David Barron and Betty Blake. I rose, greeted them and asked how they were getting along. David said he was a lawyer now in the big city of Waco and Betty said she was painting now. Since it was almost dinner time, I suggested that we go and have dinner together. They thought this was a fine idea, so we left. As we were crossing the street, David noticed a sign on the top of a cafe bearing the words Gayden’s Snak Garden.” Well, this looked interesting so we went in, and behind the counter was Franklin Gayden with whom we all used to go to school. We all went up and greeted Franklin and he said he had a surprise for us. He took us into the kitchen and there was Virginia Andrews, chief cook and bottle washer. We sat down right then and ate some of Virginia's excellent food. As we left Betty suggested that we go up town and window shop as she had been to Big D but once since she graduated. We all agreed so we went window shopping. The first shop that attracted Betty’s attention was the”5 Buddies Shop” for ladies. Naturally a lady would be interested in a ladies shop, so she went in. In a moment she came running out like an insane person shouting,“Five people we graduated with own that shop.” After she calmed down she told us that the owners of that shop were Misses Agnes Gantt, Eva Ainsworth, Floyce Pickens, Flva Shockley, and Jo Dean Hand. We went in and chatted with the girls for a while until Eva and Agnes boyfriends came. These boys were both working for the Humble Oil Company and hoped to soon change these girls’ names to theirs. I suppose you are wondering who they are--Well, I’ll tell you--they are Dwain Popejoy and Kenneth Burleson. After a while we had to leave and do some more window shopping. As we were standing looking at one pretty window, I accidently bumped against a lady, turned around to say excuse me” and much to my surprise I saw three more of my schoolmates; Mary Parmley, Barbara Toney, and Irma Grimes. We talked to these girls for awhile and really found out a lot of things about our old friends. It seemed they were all married and living in Dallas, Freddie Little was living in Brooklyn, New York, and really climbing that Social Ladder. It seems a Mr. Batone was giving her quite a lot of help. They said Jean Jackson had just seen her latest book HOW FAR CAN I SEE? published. It seems Jean grew more and more attractive as the years went by and money just kept pouring in. What she makes from her books is a mere drop in the bucket to what her husband makes, and Jean is finally wearing glasses--glasses w ith diamond rims, I might add. Well, this was all quite a shock. We talked awhile and finally had to go on. The next stop we came to was called BURGER ’S BURGER JOINT. This seemed to have some connection with a friend we used to know so we entered, finding the owner to be none other than Lynn Hiller, better known as Burger. Burger gave us more news of some of our friends, he said WendellOutlaw was really living up to his name because he was known as Tin Gun Outlaw” out in West Texas. T-I-N-That is. He said that Frank Brodnax. who after spending years with Southern Pacific Railroad (in their box cars) that is , had finally made a success as a fur trapper in Canada. After a long chat we started to leave and Bill Blackmon walked in. We talked with him awhile and asked about Sonya Gladback and Martha Longbotham. He said the last time he had heard anything of them, they had settled down to Old-Maid school teaching. Then we asked if he had heard anything of Jimmy Joe Rand or Charles Shreve. He said Jimmy Joe Rand was coaching baseball out in West Texas and Charles Shreve was the manager of a big store in Houston. We then asked of Paul Gregory and Bill said that he and Carolyn Whitehurst were partners in a Dry-Goods Store in Austin. We also learned that Lennie Robertson and Helen Burleson were housewives while Alta Beaver and Janie Cox are designers in San Antonio. While we were standing there talking to Bill we noticed a great long Cadillac fly by with fishing poles tied on the side of it, and who do you think would be driving it---That’s right--James Stockton. Bill told us that John Nabors had grown to love school so well that he was still going to EAST TEXAS BAPTIST COLLEGE at Marshall, Texas. And as for lone Rose Little--Well, the last time I was in Groesbeck--she was a traveling saleswoman—I imagine she still is--Don’t you? ??????

We, survivors of grammar school, were determined to carve a place for ourselves out of this wilderness of hostile upper classmen. Sixty of our tribe strengthened by these new members-Lenoel Alewine, Lynn Hiller, JohnNabors, Elma Joyce Shehorn. Bonnie Alford, Martha Longbotham, and Bobby Green invaded the halls on that September of 1945. We all remember the exciting math classes under Mr. Moody, no one ever knew who threw the fire cracker in the waste basket or who reinforced us with sling shots each time after Mr. Whitehurst raided our home room. As freshmen, we made camp in another spot-the study hall-to hold our increasing number. Although we had lost J. W. Duke, Bobbie Lummus, W. L. Stone, and Freta Wilson, they were ably replaced by Elton Ayres, Georgia Barker, Alta Beaver, Pete Cargile, Myrna Green, Bernice Haschke, Christene Henderson, Lynell Lynch, Martha Martin, Floyce Pickens, Hazel Stephens, Paul Gregory, and Gary Roberts. We found many things to do but study wasn’t one of them. I'm afraid the most of us were more accurate with paper wads than with a pencil. Lenoel Alewine lettered his freshman year in football. Big chief around the camp fire was Lenoel Alewine, Vice President-John Nabors, Secretary-Irma Grimes, Reporter-Rose Mary Stevens, Treas-urer-Barbara Toney, Sergeant at arms-David Barron and James Stockton. Rose Mary Stevens reigned as Queen of G. H. S. and along with Carolyn Whitehurst,Sonya Gladback, Martha Longbotham, and Jean Jackson joined the Toag Staff. When our Sophomore year rolled around some began to take life a little more ser iously.. M a ny of us joined the ranks of the “Goats Whisker “ staff and the Pep Squad. Jo Dean Hand made the “A team in volleyball. Lenoel Alewine, John Nabors, James Stockton, and David Barron lettered in football. Charles Shreve, Lenoel Alewine, Lynn Hiller, Jimmy Joe Rand, and James Stockton made the basketball team. David Barron was elected President of the class, Vice President-Lenoel Alewine, Secretary-Jimmy Joe Rand, Treasurer-John Nabors, Reporter-Charles Shreve. Our class enrollment showed that we had lost Elton Ayers, Georgia Barker, Pete Cargile, Myrna Green, Christine H e n d e r s o n, Lynell Lynch, Martha Martin, Cary Roberts, Welbert Carter, Genelle Henderson, Nancy Patterson, and Billy Tatum. At last we were Juniors--just one more year to go before we became dignified seniors. This was Paul Gregory's third year to be cheer leader and Mary Parmaly’s first. The class gained no new members and had lost John Brown, Carl Thompson, Billy Tatum, Norris Kent, J. W. Dugan, Bernice Haschke, and Nelda Wilson. The class officers were President-Charles Shreve, Vice President-Lynn Hiller, Secretary-Sonya Gladback, Treasurer-Linnie Robertson, Reporter-Virginia Andrews, and Sergeant at arms-David Barron and Bill Blackmon. Lynn Hiller, Jimmy Joe Rand, Charles Shreve, David Barron, Lenoel Alewine and James Stockton lettered in football. lone Rose was Junior Editor of the Toag. Charles Shreve and Frank Broadnax won “Time awards. Charles Shreve, James Stockton and Jimmy Joe Rand lettered in the Square Dance Club, the band, the Dramatic Club, the Camera Club, the “G Club, and the Junior Play. The year flew by and here we are. Just 35 of us have survived. The records show that we lost John Kennedy, Joyce Shehorn, Rose Mary Stevens, Betty Loyd, Bobbie Comer, Nolen White, Douglas Kennedy, Lenoel Alewine, Bonnie Alford, Mary D. Cobb, and Hazel Stephens. It is interesting to note that we lost an even dozen in marriage: Genelle Henderson, Bernice Haschke, Nelda Wilson, Rose Mary Stevens, Bonnie Alford, Bobbie Comer, Norris Kent, Elma Joyce Shehorn, Nolen White, lone Rose, Nella Wilson and Hazel Stephens. David Barron was president, Vice President-Charles Shreve, Secretary-Linnie Robertson, Treasurer-Alta Beaver, Reporter-Virginia Andrews, Sergeant at arms-Franklin Gayden and Wendel Outlaw. Carolyn Whitehurst and Sonya Gladback were co-editors of the 1950 Taog. Barbara Toney and Mary Parmaly were yell leaders. Mary Parmaly was also elected Football Sweetheart. All district in football Lenoel Alewine and John Nabors. Charles Shreve won a Sportsmanship Trophy in basketball. Kenneth Burleson was Treasurer of FFA. Our class took an active part in organizing the Student Council. David Barr on, Lynn Hiller, Carolyn Whitehurst and Sonya Gladback served on the Steering Committee. David Barron was elected the first president of the Student Council and Alta Beaver was elected the first secretary. Others serving onthe-council were Charles Shreve, Kenneth Burleson, Elva Shockley, and Jean Jackson. For 4 years Lenoel Alewine lettered in football, for four years Carolyn Whitehurst, Sonya Gladback, Martha Longbotham worked on the Taog. For four years David Barron was a class officer, and for four years Jo Dean Hand made the “A team in volleyball. A longer list of individual accomplishments could be named but the important thing is that we have won as a class. We have experienced failure and success. We assumed leadership and responsibility because we were able to resist the pitfalls-this we owe to our parents and teachers. Our history cannot end here though a chapter in our book of life has ended, new chapters still are to be written. Our horizon stretches before us and we graduates of Groesbeck High School this day of May 26, 1950 are prepared to meet it. SENIOR PLM ‘ NOUNG BOCTQR NOUNG ViiYqitx'vcL fWAxeuss FxeaA've Vji%Ve.
