PiSORY OFM HE Chass OF 48 It seems ridiculous but actually it was four years ago that 106 scared, nervous boys and girls lit- erally quaking in their shoes entered Landis Hi Everyone was wondering how in the as green Freshmen. world “those upper classmen” ever managed to get in the right class at the right time. No one knows how handy those schedules Mr. Bostian and Mr. McCreary fixed out for us were or how much they were used unless by coincidence you happened to see one of the freshmen scanning the schedule comparing it with a friend and then rushing to class. We swelled with pride when at last after eight years we too could have class officers and elected Bobby Coffee president, Lenore McLauch- lin vice-president, Dot Christopher secretary, and Bill Wilhelm treas- urer. We soon proved you can’t keep a good class down. For ex- ample the three B’s (Bob C., Bill W., and Buddy T.) made the basket- ball, football, and baseball team. Red, Plaster, and Jo made the girls’ basketball team. We also won the class basketball tournament. We continued to shine when at com- mencement Jo Russell won the science award and Annie Smith the scholarship award. Our advisors who helped us a lot were Mrs. Leafe, Mrs. Harris, Miss Moore, and Miss Goodman. +B + We retired for the summer and returned the following fall ninety- two strong as silly sophomores liv- ing up to the name. One night we had a hayride and naturally all the girls wore blue jeans but imagine everyone's surprise when next day and for several weeks the girls con- tinued to wear them. We became serious long enough to elect Jo Rus- sell president, Bobby Cross vice- president, and Paul Sweatt secretary and treasurer. Then® we jumped from one event right into anotlier with never a dull moment. Oufpride knew no bounds when Paul Sweatt won the oratorical contest. Miss Glenn and Mrs. Linn showed their metal when they successfully pre- sented the Halloween Carnival with a “Negro Minstrel’. Imagine our surprise when we discovered we had a talented quartet which was none other than Bobby Butts, Herman Billings, Eddie Ray McLain, and Earl Blackwelder. Our play “Don’t Také My Penny” was a great suc- cess. Our fun was blighted by the death of our classmate Billy Freeze. Even though we didn’t have com- mencement exercises we made up for it by having a tenth and eleventh erade banquet. To top this our grade parents gave us a prom at which we learned the art of square dancing. We took the cup for winners of field day this year. Our football players
