CLASS HI 'l'0RY We strive, and we strive, and that is life. We are together, and we will part, and that is death. Between living and dying various things will happen. There will be joy and sorrowg health and illnessg understanding and misunderstanding, but if there is a star in view, there is a need to travel upon its rays. That is what we, the class of 1957, had to face when we enrolled at J.C,T,S. in the Fall of 1953. We, as a large family, enrolled with approximately 160 students. We organized our class which was divided into five sections, With our advisors Mrs. Brame, Mrs. Perry, Mr. Cofield, Mr, Dublin, Those who were chosen to lead the class were: President, Harold Nixong Vice- President, Ozzie M, Smithg Secretary, Dorothy Nixong Assistant Secretary, Lola J, McNeillg Treasurer, Horace Smith. We were well represented in all activities: Basketball: Choral Clubg Band Dramaticsg Danc- ingg Student Councilg etc. lntheStudent Cotmcil, Barbara J. Stevens represented us as secretaryg Dorothy Nixon, Assistant Secretary and Horace Smith Treasurer. We were proud to know that Dorothy Nixon represented fis as Miss J,C,'l',S., because of her scholastic achievements. Having begun a new year as sophomores, we felt we were full members of the J.C.T.S. family. We organized with the following as officers: President, George Coleg Vice-President, Ozzie M, Smithg Secretary, Lola J, McNeillg Assistant Secretary, Barbara Stevens, Treasurer, Richard Avery. Our advisors were: Mr. Lamberth, Mrs. Perry, Mr. McLean, and Mrs. Brame. During this year our greatest aim was to work a little harder in order that we might rest our senior days. The most important event of this year was our Bunny Hop. That was the start- ing of our class treasury. Now, we were going some place. Our class was considered an all round class, Several students belonged to the Honor Societyg some still held offices in the Student Council, some were basketball players and others were members of various activities and clubs. Finally, this school year ended with the class well ad- justed to our teachers and studies, and we just couldn't wait until the following year, knowing that we would be J' Lmiors, Returning the year of 1955, we felt that we had only come half way. During our first class meeting, it was noticed that the family had divided, not in mind, but in groups. A few of us were still climbingg others were gone to see what their future would be out of school. Our officers were: President, Horace Smith, Vice-President,GeorgeColeg Secretary, Della Bridgesg Assistant Secretary, Lola McNeillg Treasurer, Harold Nixon. One of our advisors, returned with a new name. Mrs. Perry changed to Mrs. Barnes. 'I'he other advisors were still Mr. Lamberth, and Mr. McLean. The biggest affair for this year, as you canfimagine, was our Prom. lt was fabulous. Probably some on lookers felt that they were on their way to the stars, because of our theme Stairway to The Stars. We made History that unforgettable night, April 27, 1956. Our class song, It's Almost Tomorrow, was sung so beautifully and so sincerely, that tears were flowing from the eyes of Juniors and Seniors. Our two highest ranking students, Lena Bennett and Della Bridges, served as Junior Mar- shells in the 1956, Graduation Exercises. The job was well done. At last we are Seniors. We have much work to do in order to reach the goal we have set for 1956-57. We retained our previous officers and advisors except Mrs, Brame whom we lost to the freshmen. First, we began lightening our load by presenting our senior play: Little Miss Somebody,

which was a great success. Our next step was to get our rings so that we would feel more like seniors. We breathed a sigh of relief! Someone mentioned the Annual. Oh! how could we have forgotten the Annual! We started late, but it will be a success. During the hard work of pre- paring our annual, 'we had one of the worst accidents one could have. Our dear school caught on fire, and much of our annual material was distroyed. This slowed our progress until we could order more materials. During this waiting period, we, the class, thought of something to do. As ever, we needed money, so we sponsored a Sweetheart Ball, the l5th of February, which was a great success. The highlights of the year to which everyone largely looks forward with much excitement, are now at hand, namelyg the Parents Banquet, Class Day, Class Night and then ........ GRADUATION! I ! Our four years have been crowded with so many events that it has been hard to select the most important one's. Truly, these have been our historical years which will forever remain in our memories of Dear Ole .T.C.T.S. Historians: Patricia Chisholm Harold Sanders
