Senior History In September, 1943, twenty-five green and inexperienced Freshmen en- rolled at Lowes High School. This was the beginning of the toilsome journey with a high school education as their goal. They looked with awe stricken wonder at the dignity of their superiors and wondered if 1947 would find them so coma petent. Mrs. R. L. Wyman was their sponsor and they chose the following class officers: Martha Boaz, Presidentg john Townsent, Vice Presidentg and Essie Gardner, Secretary and Treasurer. As time passed, part of the greenness wore off and they ventured to display a little shy dignity. The remaining greenness and the touch of dignity blended to make them silly Sophomores. They entered their Sophomore year with Mrs. W. VV. Dickerson as sponsor and the following class officers: Martha Boaz. President: Eugene Puckett, Vice Presidentg and Essie Gardner, Secretary and Treasurer. This year they won third place in a one act play contest by presenting Coming Around The Mountain , a hillbilly comedy. Also during their Sopho- more year they lost some of their members. Naomi'Garnett became Mrs. Henry Odom and left school, Dorothy Gillispie and their cherished set of twins, Essie and Dessie Alexander changed schools. Elizabeth Lowe had gone to work between their Freshman and Sophomore years and had not come back to school. John Townsend, another favorite, moved to Detroit after their Sophomore year. As they entered their third year of high school they were indeed jolly Juniors. All of the shyness had worn off leaving them a trifle too jolly to please the faculty. Their number had diminished to fifteen. Some had failed and the others had withdrawn. Their sponsor was Miss Valcalo Payne f Mrs. David Strongj and the class officers were Martha Boaz, President: Betty Goatley, Vice President: and Essie Gardner, Secretary and Treasurer. just when the junior play. The Funny Brats , was well under wav, Mrs. Strong resigned. Mrs. Wright took over and the play was a great success. After much discussion and counting of pennies these Juniors sponsored a trip to Mammouth Cave in honor of the Senior class. Both the Junior and Senior classes and members of the faculty had a wonderful time. Before the beginning of their fourth year Bonnie VVlllQ3TSOI1 withdrew to become a nurses' aide and ,Ieane Griggs became Mrs. Billy Griffith. On August 19.l946, this class entered its Senior year. By now they had put away all their childish ways to become dignified Seniors. They chose the fol- lowing class officers: Conely Lamkin, President: Eugene Puckett, Vice P1-ggi- dent: and Iissie Gardner, Secretary and Treasurer. Conely withdrew at Christmas and Eugene became President. Harold Gilbert was then elected Vice President. , Conely was one of five veterans who enrolled with us in August. Conely and Robert Lee Adams withdrew at Christmas and Harold Puckettwreceived his diploma. Charles Wilkins -and Joe E. Burchard will graduate with this class. fContinued on next pagei
