'fiytb 'Stf jzy Se. v er C fo-S oF Fo« Lvoid As 1952 rolls on, we the Seniors of Kennedy High School endeavor to express in the pages of Kennedy Echoes the thrills that have been our own. We need no annual to hold steadfast to the principles, cultures, and ideals which have been im- planted in our minds since we entered school. But we prepare this, our first annual, as a token of our appreciation to those who have helped our struggles through the years and have shown to us their indefatigable patience and understanding. Lastly, it is a memorial to the Senior Class, who, playing on the keyboard of happiness the notes of success , will repay past kind- nesses with future remembrance. To everyone at our Alma Mater is the task of keeping these echoes ringingJ 2 '1'ith grateful hearts and in sincere appreciation, we, the Senior Class of 1952, do dedicate this volume of Kennedy Echoes to: Miss Inez Douglass, whose patience, sympathetic understanding and loyal devotion have been a constant Inspiration to us since we entered High School. and Mr. Charles P. Hayes, v ho has proven a kind friend and understanding advisor to each student. 3 Seniors of '52 AWJAL STAFF Fron left to right; sitting: Deidri Blaylock, Business Manager; Sue Rushing, Editor-in-chief; Standing; Franklin Gillian, Sports r.ditor; Lavoy Newman, Advertising Manager; Jean Porter, Social Editor; Faye Prater, Assistant Sales Manager; Barbara Ayres, Assistant Editor; Ralph Carroll, Assistant Sports Editor; Gene Caraway, Sales Manager 5 Name Barbara Ayers----- Loudell McDaniel- Jewell Cobb------ Faye Prater------- Sue Rushing------- Bobbie Sue Owens - Deidri Blaylock-- Faith Whelden----- Peggy Lindsey----- Ruth Richards----- Ann Richards------ Betty Crowley----- Vala Gilliam------ Jean Wright------ Mae Holliman------ Jean Porter------ Gene Caraway------ Billy Wayne Crowe Ralph Carroll----- James Yerby------ Lavoy Newman------ Norman Miller----- Oneal Watkins----- James Vice-------- Jackie Anderson-- Herbert Higdon---- Joe Billy Hamn---- Kaywood Stokes---- Franklin Gilliam- Waldon Mathis----- Foy Lee Prater---- Wayne Waldrop----- Nick Name - Chubby ------ - Lou -........ - Tiny -------- - Feets ------- - Susie ------- - Giggles------ - Dee ......... - Boston ------ - Peg ........- - Pat --------- - Hon -------- - Shorty ------ _� Va ---------- - Wilson ------ - Masie ------- - Teacher ----- - Curly ------- - Buz ......... - Carolyn ----- - Whelden ----- - Tojo -------- - Honey ------- - 0.

The Seniors of'52 were starting to school! This journey was made easier by our first grade teacher and substitute mother, Miss Angleyn Johnson. Through her kind devotion we were well started on the way to learning the three R's. The six elementary grades went by rapidly. Our class sometimes was being increased; sometimes decreased. But the members always had a feeling of inseparable companionship for each other. 'e thought our anxiety had reached its height when we entered the seventh grade in ' 1+.7- Here we had to accustom ourselves to high school regulations, learn brain racking formulas in arithmetic and the parts of speech in English. It was here that we became aquainted with the teacher that played a part in making us who we are today--Miss Inez Douglass. In the seventh grade several new members joined our ranks. Faye Prater, Barbara Ayers, Jean Wright and Foy Prater came to Kennedy from Kingsville. In our freshman year we had a few privileges previously denied us. We started taking home economics and agriculture. Here the girls learned the fundamentals of the sewing machine, and the boys learned to cull chickens. Joe Billy Hamm found a place in our class this year. Our sophomore year was very eventful, for Gene Caraway, Billy Wayne Crowe and Wayne Moore turned our dull class into one filled with activity and bustling with mischievous humor. The poor teachers wondered this year whether or not v e we're growing up or returning to our childhood. This year Mr. C.P. Hayes succeeded Mr. John 'allace as principal. We still wear the scars of an event brought about by his coming--the study of algebra. we looked forward to our junior year with anticipation. This year, under the leadership of our sponsor, Mrs. Fred Richards, we presented our first drama, entitled, Betty Jane from Punkin Lane. An event even more important was the Senior-Junior Prom, with the impressive theme Over the Rainbow. This year we hated to lose Jimmie Porter and Remus Foster to Uncle Sam, but glad to welcome James Yerby. Scattered along through the years several girls from our class got tangled in the web of matrimony: Inez Smith, Betty Elmore, Edwina Wharton, Sarah Foster and Betty Lee Foster. They put away going to school for higher planes of education. The fall of '51 brought with it new and exciting things. At last-- Seniors ! We were lucky enough to have Miss Inez Douglass as our sponsor. We welcomed into our group this year, Faith Wheldon, Mae G. Holliman, Oneal Watkins, Waldon Mathis, James Vice, Herbert Higdon, Wayne Waldrop, Jackie Anderson, Kaywood Stokes, Boots Junkins and Benny Belk. we were sorry to give up Peggy Richardson at the opening of the school year. Later we lost from our ranks Wayne Moore, Boots Junkins and Benny Belk. This left thirty two members to graduate. Only five of the orginial class who started together, finished: Deidri Blaylock, Frank Gilliam, Betty Joe Crawley, Bobbie Sue Owens and Sue Ashing. The journey was sometimes tedious, but always filled with fun. We caused our teachers endless worry, and had our small disagreements, but our last year was our best year while we played on the keyboard of happiness the notes of success. 15 CLASS PROPHECY As I sit here alone dreaming, I see thirty-two people who have made much progress as a whole in their careers during the next ten years. Who could these people be but the Seniors of '52. Shh_______ as I reveal what I see each of them doing. First I see the housewife of a prosperous lumberman. It is Jean Porter, having toured the U. S. for several years—she has finally settled down in Belk and is keeping house for the owner of the Belk Lumber Company. If you can drop over to Atlanta you can find with the Atlanta Crackers the world's greatest batboy, James Vice. I see a dignified bachelor, twice principal of Kennedy High School, once U. S. Senator, now a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Who is he? Why it is the timid Ralph Carroll'. There goes a prosperous traveling salesman riding, for a fact, right through Kennedy in a fine car. I believe it is Franklin Gilliam. Now if you can drop by the McNease and Robinson Clinic at Fayette, you can hear something like this in the operating room: Scissors, bandages'. Who is this head surgeon? Mrs. Sue?? She is making a living for that lazy husband of hers. After serving her country as a spy in Russia for several years. Faith Wheldon has settled down with a state highway patrolman, as her choice of a husband. Who is Governor Cobb's private secretary? None other than Pe i zv Lindsey. I see Loudell McDaniel with a federal government job in Tuscaloosa, Alabame. Bobbie Sue now has plenty of free electricity! We wonder why? Yes, she is happily married to Mr. Jack Lindsey and is living in Birmingham. If you are ever cruising through Washington, stop in at the Navy's hall of fame. You may find V.aldon Mathis' picture and under it you will see the work Admiral . Yes, you have guessed it. His picture is sitting on the Admiral Television Set in the reception room. Seaman first class Mathis, he is now. Jean Wright is well off now working in Columbus, Mississippi. She is the very best long-distance operator for the Bell Telephone Company. Ann Richards always wanted to marry, but couldn't so she is doing the next best thing. She is housekeeping for Mrs. Mae Holliman in England. Mae was the only married member of the '52 class when we graduated. We know that few women can hold very responsible positions but I find Jewell Cobb one of the few women governors of the state of Alabama. It was a good race between her and Tallulah Bankhead. Ruth Richards is living with her sister in Birmingham. Ruth is making a good living at Sears Roebuck Company for her two adopted children. She had so many suitors for her hand in marriage, that she was never able to decide upon one of them for a husband., Vala Gilliam is working in Columbus, Georgia. She has never bought herself a car because she still likes to ride the Missala busses. Wonder why? Oneal Watkins is the owner of a very large farm. He is married and has two children. Wouldn't you like to know whom he married? Oh, yes, he has plenty of telephones on his estates, you may be sure. Norman Miller has finished college and is the president of the First National Bank in Birmingham. Since he st ys in the bank so much he has plenty of money, so says the girls. Wayne Waldrop is a telegraph operator for the Southern Railroad Company. Where? You guessed it--Millport. Since Mr. Carpenter has grown older and has retired, who is the coach at Kennedy High? Well, well, it is none other than Joe Bill Hamm. I see a state patrolmen arresting someone for speeding—Who is this officer? I believe it is James Yerby. Yes, it is. 16 Gene Ca ..way is the prosperous owner of what was or.ce Jenkii.s' Bootery, now properly called Caraway's Bootery. Vie read ir. the papers that Lt. Bi ily V.ayne Crowe nas just . eon promoted to Captain. He is stationed in California. In Illinois Foy Lee Prater is business nana pr of the Caterpillar Tractor Corpar.y. Siroe Mr. Galalse has retired we rind Herbert Higdon as President of the University of Alabama. Faye Prater is a happy little lady keeping house for the one whom sh,. waited so long—Jimmie. Kaywood Stokes is making his home in Aliceviile and is a very prosperous citizen of the town. Mr. Karr’ firally tailed Jackie Anderson into making an Agriculture teacher. He is going to Auburn and is the star half-back of the Auburn Ti os. Betty Joe Crawley is a very efficient secretary in the Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa, «laburna. Ir. Kingsville we 3eo a large sign that reads like this: Driving lessons, reasonable rates, anytime you desire, see Miss Barbara Ayres, two blocks noth. Lavoy Newman is the wealt-.y owner of the Eelic Lumber company, but he still Co;;.es ack to Kennedy once in a while to see about the crusher. I sea a weaitny fui ver's wife, wuo seems v-ry nappy althoujr sne has never known farm life before. Wno could this be? Yes, it is none other than Deidri Blaylock. As the prophecy of the class of 52' fades away we here reviewed each individual and oacn appeared in favor. Tnere seem to have beer no failures ahead for anyone. Let us hope tnat the reality of the future is even more satisfactor., t..ar. was the forecast.

To Mike Cline, James Vice leaves his ability as a football punter next year. To Lois Wiggins, Faith Wheldon leaves her ability to play the piano along with her musical voice for sin ing.

Most Popular Faye Prater, Herbert Hidgon 36 COACH WILLIAM 'A . CAH PEN TER During Coach Carpenter's three year reign as head coach of Kennedy High School he has come to be known as a builder of men, frequently changing a bunch of gawky, green kids into a smooth running, well oiled machine ready to give any team a battle. He accomplished this by a rigid training program and by the use of psychology to the highest degree on oppos- ing coaches and players. Coach Carpenter brought spectator interest from the dumps to its highest level in history, because Kennedy supporters know his teams are almost capable of accomplishing the impossible. Some day the big time coaching world will call Coach Carpenter, but until that day we know he will continue to mold fine teams in all phases of sports at Kennedy High School. 37 On November 23, 1951, one of the highest honors a school can receive n ,b?3nt0Wed Up0n Kennedy Hl£rh School. The West Alabama Coaches and Oliicials Association met for their annual banquet at Fayette. Among those present were our two honorary caotains—Wayne Waldrop and Herbert Higdon--our principal, Mr. Hayes--and Coach Carpenter. After tne program and feast were finished the voting by the officials for the most sportsmanlike team of this district began. Secretary Sam Rickman counted the votes and announced Kennedy the winner. When our captains went up to receive the tropny they could hardly mumble their names. Mr. Hayes and Coach Carpenter were speechless over the fact that a small school, which had hardly ever won over half its games, had won the trophy. The trophy was a tribute to Coach Carpenter, who had taught his boys that it was not whether they won or lost, but how they played the game. It was a tribute to a team of men--who had lived the principles of good sportsmanship. It was, likewise, a tribute to the entire school and to all loyal supporters. 18 First row, left to right: Jerry Jones, Jackie Anderson, Gene Caraway, Kaywood Stokes, Joe Bill Hamm, Coach W. W.
