Join us now as we record the highlights of our high school career. In September of 1955 we were freshmen in high school despite the fact that we were still in James A. Whitted Junior High School. We were proud to have the distinction of being the first graduating class in the newly-formed junior high school. ; Some of us were quite active that year. Velda White was elected president of the Student Council; Eric Michaux attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference in New York; Michael Tucker composed the music to the Whitted School Song, and Barbara Gladden and Catherine Burnett were majorettes with the Hillside Band, while Edward Bailey and Robert Beale marched with the group.Marjorie Lennon attained the highest scholastic average that year and several other students received awards in various subjects and activities. Finally September of 1956 arrived and we entered Hillside High School. Being only Sophomores made us feel somewhat inferior to the more sophisticated juniors and seniors, but we began early to prove that we could make ourselves outstanding. Hazel Ellison was first place winner in the I Speak for Democracy contest. Marjorie Lennon, Hazel Ellison, Travis Williams and Michael Tucker were installed as probationary members of the National Honor Society. Michael Tucker won first place in the Omega Talent Hunt. Many of our classmates participated in the annual Sophomore Talent Hour. Catherine Burnette was runner-up in the Miss Hillside contest. Several of us became affiliated with the various organizations of our school. Esther Morgan, Viola Tatum, Annie Conrad, Barbara Gladden, and Catherine Burnette joined the majorette squad. In scholarship and achievement, Michael Tucker won the Morehouse College Scholarship; ; Nathaniel Sutton and Querida McLendon won the 10th g rade National Honor Society Awards; John Lawrence won first place in the annual Science Fair, Biology Division, while Nathaniel Sutton placed second. In sports, Charles Brown emerged as state tennis champion, and other athletically inclined boys of our class made their debuts in football, basketball, track, tennis and baseball that year. On the night of the Junior-Senior Prom, Hazel Ellison, Marjorie Lennon, Barbara Fields, Jessie Giles, Patricia Williams, Dorothy Cobb and Janet Claggett served as attendants, During our junior year everyone seemed more ambitious than ever to indulge in some extra-curricular activities. Our chief adviser was Mrs. A. R. Cruse. Many of us became officers and members of the various activities of our school, Hazel Ellison, Marjorie Lennon, Travis Williams, Willene Jackson, and Jessie Giles became full members of the National Honor Society. Catherine Burnette was elected treasurer of the Student Council. Travis Williams and Johnny Morgan was elected president and vice-president respectively of the Junior Class. Marjorie Lennon, Yvonne Thorpe and Velda White were inducted into the Quill and Scroll Journalistic Society. Hattie Pratt was runner-up in the Spelling Bee at Hillside. Eleven juniors took a scholarship achieve - ment test that year. Charsie Herndon won first place and Beverly Burton won second place in the Chemistry Division of the Science Fair. Jacquelyn Thornton became president of the Dramatics Club. Arnold Samuel assumed duties as drum major of the marching band while Jesse Parker and Ronald Stewart became members of the Hillside Joymakers Band. Velda White, ''Miss Hillside » for 1957, was crowned at the annual Christmas Party. Highlighting that year was the Junior-Senior Prom where we enjoyed a wonderful evening under a Stairway to the Stars. This was the year—1958—when we finally became dignified seniors. Our chief adviser was Mrs. L.I. Riddick. Travis Williams, Johnny Morgan and Catherine Burnette were installed as president, vice-president and treasurer respectively of the Hillside Student Council.

James Fowler, Bobby Sims, Charles Brown, Albert Huey and Douglas Morgan were outstanding on the Homet Basketball Team. One proud distinction that we have is that of being the first class to publish a yearbook at Hillside. Eric Michaux and Hazel Ellison were chosen as editors of the HORNET. Willene Jackson, Mildred Williams, Elaine Lambeth, Velda White, John Edwards, Thomas Steele, Clifton Williams, Catherine Bumette, and Catherine Harris were other seniors who helped publish this book. We realize that success is only beginning for us and that we will have to work hard in order to reach the top, but we will continue to strive for we know that We build the ladder by which we climb. i HISTORIANS: Hazel Ellison, Jessie Giles, Marjorie Lennon 20
