NANCY BARRY ,1 7--Home Ec. Club, Glee Club, Physical Education Club; '48--Glee Club; ' 9—Pep Club, Home Ec. Club; 150--PEP Club, Secretary of Class, Secretary of Bluff. Optomist As the chosen class optomist of our great Senior class of 1949 and 50, I take pleasure in trying to fulfill that honor. We Seniors can think of many things that we would like to say now that our graduation is drawing near. Many years from now when we have gone out into the world to put our strength and talents against the millions of other human beings also trying to learn their way in life, we shall, with a great deal of warmth, tenderness and appreciation, look back to the days at H. H. S. And when we do this, we shall remember how gallantly our ball team, (The Wildcats) played every game and pay tribute to our coach, Mr. Jones and his assis- tants. We, also owe a debt of gratitude for the untiring efforts of the entire High School Faculty. Our high school days have been perhaps the happiest days of our lives. We are graduating and with it comes everlasting memories and a warm sensa- tion in our hearts. Our commencement will be indeed an end and a beginning for us all.We close with a farewell to old H. H. S. 22 Janet McNeill

For some strange reason I was elected unamimously to be the Class Pessimist. Wonder why? As I came in today someone remarked “What a fine day it was. I can’t understand why, just because the Sun was out for the first time in a month, birds were singing, and it was turning warmer. When I was 6 years old someone had the idea that I should go to school. What a place! At 8:30 a bell will ring (I have been looking for it, but haven’t had any luck, yet). Then a woman, namely the teacher, hands you a book and tells you to start studying it. What a waste of time! That goes on until 12:00, Then we are free and happy for only one hour. At 1:00 we start all over again. For 12 long years this kind of life goes on. Above all they give you a Report Card. They are just a nuisance and only cause more pain. The teachers don’t put even fair grades on them. If I had my way instead “A being excellent I would have “E”. Everyone is wondering how far our class will go in life. As an expert on such mat- ters, I take the liberty to say that it will surprise me if anyone in the class will ever get very much farther in the world than a ditch digger or street cleaner. Well, I guess I will quit talking now as lam getting bored by you people yawning inmy face. And in closing I will give you some good advice. If I were you, I would leave now and not wait to hear the rest of these boresome speeches. I wish that I could. Patricia Pinkston We have often heard that school days are the happiest days of our lives. We know that we have had a lot of fun in our twelve years of school, especially the last four that we have spent in high school. As class historian, I have prepared a brief history of our class during the four ex- citing years of high school. We entered high school 34 very green freshmen. Our class officers were: Jim Grady, President; Stanley Schove, Vice-Pres.; Charlotte Ann Council, Secretary; and Jeneta Mansfield, Treasurer. Our class queen was Charlotte Ann Council. Our sponsor was Miss Margaret White. The next year we were much happier because we were Sophomores and could look down on the mere Freshmen. Our officers were: Mack Jones, Pres.; Herman Lattus, Vice-Pres.; Lottie Harper, Secretary; and Clara Adams, Treasurer, and our sponsor was Miss Vivian Caldwell. It seems that all we did our Junior year was make money. We worked hard on our Junior play and it was a success. The Junior candidate for queen, Nancy Barry, was elected Miss. H. H. S. Near the end of the year, we reached the goal of our Junior year, our Junior-Senior trip! We were very proud to take the Seniors on a three-day trip to the Smoky Mountains. Our class officers were: Herman Lattus, President; Terry Glynn Pickett, Vice-Pres.; Barbara Beal, Secretary; and Jim Grady, Treasurer. Athletics have drawn from our members and honors have come to many of this class from year to year and it has always been a matter of great pride when any one of our group achieved an envied position or a well-merited honor. Six of the boys of this class have played basketball on either the first or second team, Herman Lattus, Jim Grady, Terry Glynn Pickett, Thomas McClellan, David Speed ard Bobby Aldridge. As Seniors, the largest job that faced us is the publication of our annual. To Miss Mildred Hopkins, our sponsor, we owe much of the credit for making our annual possi- ble. Some of the accomplishments of our Senior year are the Senior Play and the Box Supper. At the box supper, Peggy Ann Rudolph, a member of our class, was crowned Miss. H. H. S. There are only 25 Seniors. Our class officers are: Mary Elizabeth Harrison, Presi- dent; Lois Brockwell, Vice-Pres.; Nancy Barry, Secretary; and Patricia Pinkston, Treasurer. Our class colors are scarlet and silver, our class flower, the yellow rose. Our motto is “The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. The curtain is going down on the history of the Class of 1950, but in reality the Big Parade is just commencing. JJistor 23 Barbara Beal
