CLASS POM We’re about to have our class call; So give me your attention one and all. Robin Lee Pierce is called Mott; He's a good boy and I’ve said a lot. Lena Margaret used to be late, But she’s always on time when she has a date. Billy Gene King is asleep again; He'll wake up, but I won’t say when. Martha Sue feeds boys candy; A bowl near-by sure comes in handy. Skipping algebra again? Why Eugene Moore, What’s so important about sweeping the dressing room floor? Mary Ann hasn’t been the same Since she’s been in bookkeeping, taught by Mr. Roehm. Our most modest boy is Mr. Roger; If he sees a flirty girl he tries to dodge her. Betty Edwards is fond of stars. And one night she took a trip to the planet Mars. Billy Loyd is our class grumbler this year, And Mr. Riddle’s yardstick he really does fear. That girl skipping class is Guelda Vaught; It sure is a wonder she’s never been caught. Billy Craddock can always be found; Mostly when a group of girls is standing around. Joyce Ross was really a scared soul That night she got stuck in a big mud hole. Now where in the world is Roy Ray? I guess he’s taking a nap; he does this time every day. If you hear someone laughing in the show; Don’t be alarmed, it’s just Mary Jo. 21

Joyce Ross CLASS HISTOAC The class history names but a few of the exciting events that happened during our high school years. The things I am about to write may not seem important to you, but they are very important to the seniors of Hickman High. As we read this history in later years we can lookback and remember all the exciting things that have happened during our four years in high school. Who could ever forget when our class entered the portals as, “Green Freshmen”? We had an enrollment of twenty-eight students and Miss Jean- ette Pearl Graham was our sponsor. The exciting thing we dreaded (in a way) was when we were going to be initated. Our class officers were: President, Gaylon Williams; Vice-President, Helen May; Secretary and Treasurer, Mary Jo Gibson; and Class Reporter, Jane Bennett. In 1949 we entered our Sophomore year with an enrollment of twenty students. Miss Vivian Caldwell, our sponsor, helped us to achieve many of the goals we set for ourselves and our class during the year. Our class officers were: President, Helen May; Vice-President, Tommy Royer; Secretary, Lena M. Lattus; and Treasurer, Joyce Coette Ross. The most eventful of all our high school days were those of our Junior year. Our sponsor was Mr. Riddle. We were looking forward to getting our class rings, and it seemed as if they would never get here But finally they came and we were very excited about them. The most exciting and in a way bor- ing event was when we were raising money for the junior and senior trip. But as the years go on we can lookback and remember the fun we had, such as our trip to the Smoky Mountains. Our class officers were: President, Mary Jo Gibson; Vice-President, Billy Loyd Wilkerson; Secretary, Helen May; Treasurer, Martha Sue Terrett. Truly the most exciting of all our years in high school was when we be- came seniors, but I suppose any student, no matter how modest, admits to being proud when they reach this year. The memories of our high school days would not be complete without tribute to our sponsor Miss Vivian Caldwell and to all the teachers who have helped us to make our achievements possible. Our class officers are: President, Robin Lee Pierce; Vice-President, Eugene Moore; Secretary, Charles Hickerson; Treasurer, Roger Bowers; and Class Reporter, Mary Jo Gibson. Of the group that enteredhigh school with us many have already gone on to do otherthings in life,but the twenty that are graduating in this, the class of 50-51 will always remember and treasure our high school days. 20

Charles Wiggam will surely ruin his clothes Swimming to that girl in Scotland, if, and when he goes. Marie Garner never stayed in Home Ec. Class, And by Mr. Mitchell's door she'd stoop to pass. If you hear some commotion in town some night; Just look out the window, you’ll see John White. I’ll introduce Sidney Stone next; She's usually with someone of the opposite sex. When you cross the street in the early morn; Get out of the way if you hear Hickerson’s horn. Peggy Tipton has a fancy to cheer and yell; She says it's been fun, except the time when she fell. Tommy Royer would be out of place If he tried to sing tenor and not sing bass. Miriam is bright and ought to go far; It's not a wonder because she's a Stahr. B. T. keeps Virginia Stokes on the go, And why he keeps her guessing, I’d like to know. I've introduced them all, I'll be on my way. And in case you don’t know. I’m Helen May. Jo Gibson CLASS OPTimiST As the optimist of the Senior Class of 1951, I would first like to say that we, as a whole, are very optimistic. The members can spread light into the darkest corners. We feel that our years spent in school have been the happiest years of our lives. As we leave we will remember in our hearts our teachers, friends, and all of the fun we have had together. Two outstanding achievements made by the class as a whole, were taking the seniors to Smoky Mountains when we were juniors and publishing The Bluff of 1951. Some of the achievements made by various members have been serving on the Stu- dent Council, being cheerleaders, being honor students, and making good records in basketball. Our graduation is another milestone in our lives that will lead us to trials far greater than we're ever known and to a bigger and brighter future. Before leaving we wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the faculty and especially to our superintendent, Mr. T. D. Ozment, and Miss Vivian Caldwell, our sponsor. Without their help the publishing of our annual would have been impossible. Now that we are graduating, I, in behalf of the Senior Class, bid adieu to our be- loved Alma Mater.
