Well, the Freshmen have finished the first lap of their four-year journey here at John Greer High School. They were stow-aways but will move to a higher position as Sophomores in a few months at the beginning of a new John Greer Year. Let us see what has been going on this past year. At the beginning of the year an election of officers was held at which Roy Watkins was elected president, Jimmy German, vice-president, and Diane Hammond, secretary-treasurer. In December a Christmas Party was held at which the entire class had a wonderful time. We are quite proud to announce to you those of our class who had straight A on the first semester honor roll. They are as follows: Arlene Bush, Carol Fraley, and Josephine Petry. Miss Taylor’s home room has stressed the development of character and on special occasions has enjoyed programs put on by the students. The officers of her home room were: Bob Cowan, President; Tom Galloway, vice-president; Bette Gatrell, secre- tary; Larry Davis, treasurer; Dick Crothers, sergeant at arms. Mr. Hoover’s home room has stressed “Getting used to each other.” They have given book-reports and played games. The officers of his home room were: Roy Watkins, pres- ident; Doris Rector, vice-president; Marilyn Smith, secretary-treasurer; Ulyn Reece, magistrate. Mr. Barnhart’s home room has been giving reports about the clubs they attend during activity period. The officers of his home room were: Roy Goodrum. president; Freddie Johnson, vice-president; Ruth In- gram, secretary; Terry Goodrum, treasurer. There were approximately one hundred and thirty Freshmen this year, which is the largest freshmen class over a period of four years. As they have finished this, their first year out at dear old John Greer, we hope they will conscientiously keep sailing on their journey here until they, too, will become seniors, and dock at home port.

PICAYUNE BUSINESS STAFF Seated—Mr. Whitehouse, Suddarth, Gatrel, Simms, Crouch Standing—Robertson, Preston, Hurst, Gress, Green The purpose of the Picayune Business Staff is to reduce the cost of the Picayune to the students. The cost of printing each volume is $5.00 and it is sold to the students for $1.50. So you see many of us could not afford to buy one if it wasn’t for the Picayune Business Staff. The Staff's two main jobs wfere to sell the Picayune and to sell advertisements. These jobs they have done very well. The Staff as a whole consists of the fol- lowing veryl able workers: Ken Crouch. Philip Sims, Don Cawthon, Josephine Green, Peggy Hurst, Evelyne Suddarth. Madge Gress, Bob Cawthon, Dale Preston, Mabel White, Hollis Robertson, and Bette Gatrell. They have done very well, and they are to be commended for their work. Mr. Whitehouse is tthe sponsor.
