Senior A. Class History Three years ago a group of humble “rats” were admitted to Plant High, but it did not take long for us to make our presence felt here. During our sophomore year we elect- ed as class officers, George Vass, Presi- dent; Betsy McMichael, Vice-presi- dent, and Betty King, Secretary. We were represented in the Court of Pan- therilla X by Anne Wilson and Jim Ted Baugh. Betsy McMichael was elected as cheerleader and has served ably since then. As juniors, we chose as our officers Waring Star- buck, President; George Henriquez, Vice - presi- dent; and Mildred An- derson, Secretary. That year Anne Wilson and La- mar Sparkman were hon- ored as III maid and eS 3 courtier of Pantherilla XI. During their junior A year the following were taken into the National Honor Society: Jack Burnett, Katheryn Perdicaris, Mary Kendrick, Morris Hale, Kay Montgomery, Mary Star, Claudie John- son, Betty Jean McCord, Mary Evelyn McClung, Mary Laura Lindsay, Ernest Griffin, Jane Dail Hicks, Autrey Mill- sap, and Ed Culp. During their Senior B year the following were taken into this Society: Jeanne Rouby, Dorothy Thonnesen, Ralph Murphy, George Vass, Albert Aronvitz, Ed Rosenblatt, Doris Andrews, Gloria Johnston, George Jack, and Clarence Anderson. As Sen- ior A’s the following were admitted: GeEorGE Jack, President; GLoria JOHNSTON, Secretary, KAY MONT- GOMERY, Vice-President. Mildred Anderson, Barbara Brown, Thelma Ivy, Marianne Mitchell, Mar- jorie Russ, Louise Bailey, Anne Wilson, and Caroline McDowell. Our class has participated in numer- ous social activities. Jack Burnette, Morris Hale, Doris Boyle, Mildred Lane, and Betsy McMichael are our Thespians. A large number of our class are in the chorus, band and R.O.T.C. George Jack is now Lieutenant Colonel. This year marks the third year of the forma- tion of the Lettermen’s club. All those receiving letters in the three major sports, football, basket- ball, and track are eligible. Members of our class that are now in this club are: George Vass, Jim Ted Baugh, George Henri- quez, Jack Jones, Dana Jeter, Bill Adams, Lamar Sparkman, H. L. Cul- breath, Jack Lunden, George Jack, Morris Hale, Billy Poage, Clark Dowdell, Henry Holmes, John Flanders, Waring Starbuck, Henry Gardner, and Mario Cabrera. Our class officers selected for this year are George Jack, President; Kay Montgomery, Vice-President; and Gloria Johnston, Secretary. We realize that these last three years have been the happiest of our lives, and although we are looking forward to graduation, it is with a great deal of sadness that we bid farewell to Plant. No matter where we go or what we do, we will be boosters always. = Page twenty-two
