When he is in a boat, he doesn't need a map. PEGGY BRADLEY, is a nice sort of girl, maybe someday she will set some boys' heart awhirl. DON BLINCOE, the least of the bunch, will never grow to be big, I have a hunch. JOE HAYDEN, who is full of fun, never quits till the day is done. JAMES CALDWELL, has never tarried; to Rebecca, he is likely to be married. WANDA JAMES, a girl so very sweet, as a friend, she can't be beat. GLEN CHOATE, is a coon hunting guy, if he couldn't hunt, he'd probably die. CLARENCE JONES, is another fine lad, not too good and not too bad. MARY JANE PETTY, who works in a cafe, will be a waitress till she is old and gray. PATSY WHEELER, a real sweet lass, we all love to have her in Business Mathematics Class. FREDERICK PIERSON, is a ladies man, he likes for Brenda to eat out of his hand. EMILY STUBBS, the Editor of the Bluff, is a sweet girl who knows her stuff. RAYBURN GARRISON, is the athletic type; when he plays ball, he really does fight. DOROTHY OLIVER, a very bashful lass, is very fond of a boy in the senior class. BETTY NEELEY, is another small one, she is full of life and likes to have fun. JEAN SANFORD, a real sweet thing, likes to lead Darrell around on a string. JACK McKENZIE, muscled up so strong, has a knack for singing a song. CAROLYN STATHAM, who is never sad, is fond of a Western lad. JEANETTE RAMSEY, little and loud, of a boy named Leland is very proud. EMMA JOE WILEY, beautiful but dumb, has Bobby Bowers under her thumb. PHILLIP GRISSOM, likes to play basketball. He's so broad and over six feet tall. GARY WILKERSON, friendly and gay, is better liked every day. BETTY MINTON, full of laughter and fun, that is, after her work is done. LARRY LLOYD, a very good sport, is really tops on a basketball court. JAMES WALLACE ROBERTS, a better mechanic every day, drives around town in a Model-A. And now, on behalf of the class, to MISS SUBLETT, we give our praise. Who has been quite understanding throughout our Senior days. I, BILLY JOE RHODES, at this type of work am not so good, but I have tried to do the best I could. Billy Jo Rhodes As the chosen class historian of our great Senior Class of 1955-56, I take great pleasure in trying to fulfill that honor. FRESHMAN YEAR We entered high school with thirty-two very green freshman. At first we did not know where to go or what to do, but we soon caught on. Our class officers were: Don Blincoe, President; Joe Hayden, Vice-President; Frederick Pierson, Secretary and Treasurer. Ann Cox was our candidate for Miss Hickman High School. Her business manager was James Caldwell. Jackie Turner was our candidate for Basketball Queen. Wanda Faye James was elected cheerleader and Rayburn Garrison was represented on the basketball team. Our spon- sor was Mr. Forrest Riddle. SOPHOMORE YEAR We entered our sophomore year with twenty-nine students. By then we knew where to go and what to do. Our class officers were: Joe Hayden, President; Emily Stubbs, Vice- President; Betty Hanks, Secretary and Treasurer; Mary Jane Petty, Reporter. Jean Sanford was our candidate for Miss Hickman High School. Her business manager was Rayburn Garrison. Wanda James was elected cheerleader and favorite. We had five boys on the basketball team and several members were chosen on Who's Who. Our class sponsor was Miss Vivian Caldwell. JUNIOR YEAR We entered our junior year with thirty-three students. It seems that all we did that year was to make money. Our reward for all the hard work was a wonderful week in Panama City, Florida. Patsy Wheeler was our candidate for Miss Hickman High School. Her business man- ager was Clarence Jones. Jean Sanford was our candidate for Homecoming Queen and Basket- ball Queen. Several from our class were represented on Who's Who and two were chosen as favorites. We were very proud to have three elected from our class for cheerleaders. We had five boys on the basketball team. We presented a play Heading For a Wedding with the help of Mrs. Joe Barnett and Miss Agnes Sublette, which we think was a big success. We sponsored a May Day Festival featuring our candidate Wanda Faye James. We also sponsored a Negro Minstrel with the help of Mrs. Ben White, Mrs. Joe Barnett and Mrs. Carlos Lannom. Our class officers were: Frederick Pierson, President; Jean Sanford, Vice-President; Emily Stubbs, Secretary; Peggy Bradley, Treasurer; Joe Hayden, Reporter. (Xir class sponsor was Mrs. Joe Barnett. SENIOR YEAR We entered our senior year with twenty-six students. Our class officers were: Frederick Pierson, President; James Caldwell, Vice-President; Emily Stubbs, Secretary; Peggy Bradley, Treasurer; Mary Jane Petty, Reporter. Jean Sanford was our candidate for Miss Hickman High School. Her business manager was Larry Lloyd. Emma Joe Wiley was elected cheerleader and we had six boys on the basketball team. We deeply appreciated the help received from Miss Agnes Sublette and the other teachers with the annual, which we consider, a very successful one. Our class sponsor was Miss Vivian Caldwell. Before the curtain goes down on our past history we would like to say thank you for the wonderful guidance and training we received from the faculty and from our parents during the four most wonderful years of our lives. Betty Jane Neeley @lcM4- ProfiAectf. It is now 1965 and nine long years have gone by since we attended that fateful last class at dear old H. H.S. My dear old friend, Carolyn Statham, and I decided to take time off from our jobs to visit our home town. Carolyn is now personal secretary to the President of the New York branch of Pierson’s Department Store, which is owned by our old classmate, Frederick Pierson. We decided to travel home by plane and it so happened that when our cab came to take us to the airport, the driver was none other than Billy Joe Rhodes. He told us that he now owns the Rhodes Cab Company which is prospering well. When we arrived at the airport, we discovered that our pilot was to be Clarence Jones. We hurried along, hoping to get a minute to talk to Clarence about our school days. When we boarded the plane, we began to think that there wasn’t going to be anyone left in Hickman to see for there sat Mrs. Bobby Bowers, the former Emma Joe Wiley. She told us she had been in New York visiting Mrs. Bobby Naylor, formerly Wanda James, she told us that Wanda is now a Physical Education Teacher in a high school in New York. When we arrived in Hickman and Emma Joe hurried off to meet her husband and three children, Carolyn and I decided to make our first stop the school. When we got there, we found the old school gone and a nice new school in its place. We also found that it had new teachers, one being Peggy Bradley. She said she had been teaching for five years and was enjoying it very much. We left the school and started downtown. On the way we met Rayburn Garrison. We stopped to talk to him and he told us that he was the Basketball coach at the new school and that his team has won all of their games this year. We left Rayburn and continued our journey downtown. When we passed the theater we saw that the famous comedy team, Don Blincoe and Joe Hayden, was starring there that night. They seem to have ruled out Martin and Lewis. When we got downtown we met Dorothy Oliver and Mary Jane Petty who said they were on their way to the Wilkerson Buick Company, which is owned by Gary Wilkerson, to buy them a car as they had just received a raise. They said they were working for the Choate and Anderson Restaurant in West Hickman. Of course, that is Glen Choate and James Anderson. We went on down the street meeting other friends when who would come along but Phillip Grissom. He seemed to be as happy as ever and he told us the reason for that was because he was probably making more money than any of our other classmates. He said he was the president of General Motors. Of course, you read about that in the papers every day. He told us that James Wallace Roberts, who was not in Hickman at the time, is the new sheriff. When we traveled on down the street, we came to the new dime store where Betty Minton is in charge of all those working in the three story building. We went in to see Betty and asked about other classmates and she told us that Mrs. Clack and Mrs. Standridge had just left. Of course, anyone would know they were the former Jeanette Ramsay and Betty Neeley. She told us that Jeanette, or Mrs. Clack and her husband, own a large grocery at Western and that Betty’s or Mrs. Standridge s husband was editor of the paper. I guess that keeps them both busy as each of them has two children. When we left the store we noticed a sign telling of a personal appearance of the now famous singer, Jack McKenzie. It seems that we have everything of importance except the President of the United States. Well, maybe in a few years we'll get there, too. We went on down the street and were admiring a new church when James Caldwell came out and invited us to church the following Sunday. Of course, this wasn't a surprise as everyone knew that James would be a success in his ministry. He told us that he had just come from the Lloyd farm. He said Larry Lloyd was doing well on his 5,000 acre farm. When we started back through town, we met two more classmates who, like ourselves, are usually seen together. This was Jean Sanford and Emily Stubbs. They said they were taking time off from their jobs to visit their home town. They were modeling in a large store in Houston, Texas. We told them of our jobs and they were amazed to hear that I was a secretary to a lawyer well known throughout the country. Patsy Ann Wheeler Will We, the class of 1956, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament, to be read on class night, before the students who will remain at Hickman High School after we are gone. The will was witnessed by the members of the Senior Class. EMILY STUBBS, wills her excuses to Phylis Kelly. WANDA JAMES, wills her ability to be cheerleader for three years to Susan Hale. JAMES CALDWELL, leaves his quietness to Bob Blincoe. EMMA JOE WILEY, leaves her ability to go steady with a Bowers to Linda Trusty. CAROLYN STATHAM. wills her ability to go with a Western ball player to Mary Samuels. MARY JANE PETTY, wills her ability to stay out of school Thursday and Friday, and get by with it to Maureen Harris. BETTY JANE NEELEY, leaves her small mouth to Glenda Wiley. PEGGY BRADLEY, wills her dignity to Damon Glover. DON BLINCOE, wills his ability to be Class Grumbler to John B. Allen. PATSY WHEELER, wills her ability to get along with Miss Toland to Sibil Ellis. GARY WILKERSON, leaves his girl friends to Benny Barnett. JEANETTE RAMSEY, wills her place in the dressing room to Mary Helen Everett. FREDERICK PIERSON, leaves Brenda--but not to anyone. JACK McKENZIE, wills his body beautiful title to Charles Laster. PHILLIP GRISSOM, wills his ability to grow a ducks to Robert Hunter. RAYBURN GARRISON, wills everything he has left behind to his brother, Bobby Lee. CLARENCE JONES, wills his ability to make F s in shop to George Gouger. LARRY LLOYD, leaves his old sow to Bobby Joe Cunningham. BETTY MINTON, wills her ability to get out of school for half a day to some un- fortunate Junior hoping they make good use of it. JOE HAYDEN, leaves his '36 Chevrolet to Charles Cochrum. JAMES WALLACE ROBERTS, wills his ability to fix up Model-T's to Robert Hunter. BILLY JOE RHOADES, wills his ability to learn Geometry to some unfortunate Junior. GLEN CHOATE, wills his height to Flavius Statham. JAMES ANDERSON, wills his ability to be tardy every morning to John Choate. And I, JEAN SANFORD, leaves Joyce Mabry to worry everyone to death. L 1 As optimist of the Senior Class of 1955-56, I am rather inclined to brag. Of course every- one thinks their class is the best, but our is the very best. We have accomplished a lot in our four years of high school. We've worked hard and when we set our goal for something we got it. I don't think you could say we were ever green freshmen. As soon as we entered high school we jumped right into everything that came along. Our teachers can tell you that. We have a class to be proud of, a class that is going places. All the students in our class are going to be somebody. Don't think I'm counting my chickens before they hatch because I'm not. They have showed what they could in high school and they are going to continue to do so after they graduate. I’ll give two examples of what our class has done. Remember last year when we took the Senior Class to Panama City, Florida on a trip? And take a look at our annuals this year. If you haven’t already. Don't you agree that they're the best ever put out. Well, do you think we could have done these two things, not to mention all the others, if we hadn't worked together and co- operated? Some of the students stayed after school to work on a paper or sell ads or any number of other things, when maybe they had much rather be out some place else. I could go on and on telling you some of the wonderful things our class has done, but if you'll just look around and see some of the students that have been awarded some outstanding honors, and take a look at our annual, you'll know what a wonderful class we have. Emma Joe Wiley tyxumClex As class grumbler for 1956, I have the privilege of making public all the gripes of the senior class. We have been up here twelve long years and we do have some gripes. The first grumble I have is that no one really appreciates the seniois as they should. After all, we are the important class in school. We have all the brains and all the good looking ones in our class. We are treated awful — we have to go to classes and some teachers expect us to study. We don't ever get out of class to run around. All we ever do is study and study some more. Another thing is the underclassmen don't respect their superiors, the seniors. They should at least tip their hats or bow. I, as well as the rest of the seniors, think the school is not being run right. We should have at least two recesses a day and an hour off for dinner; whereas, we have only one recess and only a half hour off for dinner. But after this year we will never have to come back, I hope. Don Blincoe CLASS MOTTO: Work today for the needs of tomorrow.

As the season moved along, however, the Cats improved steadily and gave the fans some real thrills. 48 Seaan Start n (fafitcU Rayburn Garrison 49 Frederick Pierson Donald Cochrum iric fHati Clarence Jones Bill Crouch 50 Rayburn Garrison Larry Lloyd Robert Hunter 'U Cldcat .
