KIIMMIE GRAY ROBERT WEEKS KATHERINE COOPER Prcsiflrnl Vice Pr1'sidc'11t Sz'z'rel'ary JANUARY CLASS HISTORY Having completed our last semester in the familiar halls of H. B. Plant High School, we now pause to present a brief review of our stay here. ln February of 1942, just three short years ago, we entered Plant as lipstick-smeared sophomores, since that date we have risen from lowly Urats' to illustrious seniors, gain- ing honors and, we hope, some education along the way. In our junior year, we strove hard to make better grades with exemptions and club memberships in mind. The second semester was the one in which we sent our first representatives to the Honor Society. They were Fern Roberts, Doyle Johnson, and Betty Fulford. Q The senior term began in January of 1944, and after a short summer release, we were full-fledged senior A's. Jimmie Gray served us as president of the student body, president of the senior class, and Junior Rotarian. Katherine Cooper was appointed editor of ye olde annual, and before we knew it, we were receiving our diplomas for attending three memorable years at Plant. The Fighting Littles was produced as our class play and line performances were turned out by the cast, some of whom were tapped into the National Thespian Honor Society as a reward. These members were Fern Roberts, Betty Fulford, Mary Mott, Ken Musgrave, Lynn Montgomery, Virginia Wilson, Frank Cohen, Albertina Rosen, June DuPuis, Douglas Knapp, Frances Marshall, and Darian Robertson. More contributions to the National Honor Society were made in our last two semesters: Virginia Wilson, Albertina Rosen, Terry MeNab, Lynn Montgomery, Bob Weeks, Edna Wamble, Katherine Cooper, and Sara Jayne Collins. We sent two charter members to the Gold and Black: Betty Fulford and Fern Roberts, and Virginia Wilson, Jimmie Gray, Kathleen O,Grady, Robert Gruetzmacher, Katherine Cooper, Edna Wamble, and Terry MeNab soon followed. ln the field of sports, Bobby Gruetzmacher, Bobby Roddenberry, Buck Younger, Gregory Gout, Howard Bryan, Buckie Allen, Jack Scott, and Terry MeNab were all football lettermen. Jimmie Gray served ably as football manager. Bobby Doll brought honors to the gold and black by winning the Florida State Junior Tennis championship. Other boys who won letters were Doyle Johnson, Hugh Jerger, and A. W. Murdoch. To the last Royal Court of Pantherilla, Buckie Allen, Juanita Langford, Bobby Gruetzmacher, and Kathleen O'Grady were elected as first maid, cour- tier, and witnesses. The R.O.T.C. was headed by Lieut. Colonel A. W. Murdoch, and Betty Fulford, Catherine Cappello, and Sara Jayne Collins were charter members of the G.O.C. Bob Weeks and Fern Roberts guided the Pep O, Plant in their senior year as editor and assistant editor, respectively. Others on the staff at various times were Buckie Allen, Sara Jayne Collins, Katherine Cooper, Betty Fulford, Bobby Gruetzmaeher, Mary Mott, Kathleen O'Grady, Darian Robertson, Bobby Rod- denberry, Buck Younger, and Edna Wamble. The Key Club was well-manned with boys from our class, including Jimmie Gray, Bobby McElvy. Bobby Roddenberry, Gregory Gout, Terry MeNab, Buckie Allen, Bobby Greutzmacher, and Bobby Doll. Their sister club, the Kiwanettes, took in as members Virginia Wilson, Fern Roberts, and Katherine Cooper. These students were judged to be the most outstand- ing members of their class as key students and school leaders. We have reached the end of our days at Plant, but our affection for her is still great. We look to the future, better men and women for having attended Plant, realizing that we will always carry a part of her in our hearts, hoping that she will carry our memory in hers. a2f10l+
