Her favorite dog is the Wolf Hound. jackie Moss rides again.

She and her man can be seen every Saturday when they come to town. The last time she was seen, she and Joe were riding up front on the wagon and the dogs were following along behind eating up the gar- bage that fell off the side of the wagon. They are raising hogs for a living and have to come to town for garbage. Marie Griffin is happily married, too. She has three little red heads. With her temper and their red headed Papa, we bet the kids are good natured. PEGGY SUE MILLER i..ik1...

CLASS HISTORY 'iii 1942-43 In 1942, we entered the threshold of Heath High School as Freshmen. Looking back into the years past, we find that this was the beginning of our real initiative. It was then that we can remember walking down the halls just bursting with pride that we were now Freshmen and with a look on our faces that dared anyone to call us green, but even then we knew how to conduct ourselves and got down to business problems with such a seriousness that even those prim school teachers were shocked. We elected Glenn Young as our President, Bill Rayburn, Vice-President, Peggy Sue Miller, Secretary and Treasurer. This was all new to them, but no one could have done better work. Along with the election of officers, Mrs. Stem and Mrs. Sarver were elected as our class advisors and both proved to be good leaders. We were proud to be represented on the cheer leading squad by two capable people like Jean Carroll and Wesley Hester. At the end of the year we felt that we had accomplished much and were happy to leave that name of being green only to find that we would be known as silly Sophomores. 1943-44 On entering our Sophomore year we elected Dorris Dean Ragland as President, Wilford Powers, Vice-President, Betty Lowe, Treasurer, and Peggy Miller as Secretary. Our sponsors this year were Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Roper. It was this year that we had our first Tug of War. We found out what good losers are like, because the Sophomores accompanied by the Juniors lost and were dragged through the muddy hole of water. They didn't mind too much be- cause they were not the only ones that got wet as it was raining that day. Peggy Sue was in the girls' trio and Perry Wallace and Glenn Young were in the boys' quartet. They entered the contest at Murray this year. Peggy Miller and William Blackford repre- sented the Sophomore class extremely well on che cheering squad. 1944-1945 Now that we were Juniors we seemed to be near our goal of graduation. This year the class officers were Dorris Ragland, President, Lindy Lewis, Vice-President, Colleen Parker, Secretary, and Jo Ann Taylor, Treasurer. Ramona, our Junior Play, proved to be one of the best plays ever given at Heath. It was coached by our sponsors, Mrs. James Roper and W. L. Franklin. We had the honor of entertaining the Senior Class with a banquet at the Irvin Cobb, which was a big success and something to be remembered always. ,Peggy Miller, Bill Blackford, and Betty Lowe, cheerleaders really did their part in backing the ball team which was well represented by Junior boys. The Junior Class published a school paper, Jolly Roger, that everyone seemed to enjoy because of all the gossip. 1945-46 As we came to the final days of school, we Seniors carried a heart full of thankfulness that we could graduate into a world of peace. We chose Dorris Ragland as our President again as she had proved to be so well qualified in the past. Glenn Young was elected Vice-President, juyne Snyder, Secretary, and Elinor Watson, Treasurer. During the three previous years, many of our members had dropped out and in this year still Page twenty-one
