 The time has come for me to write a line or two for Senior Class Night. JAMES ANDERSON, is a quiet sort of chap. 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.
