Sophomore Closs History September 3, 1945, marked the beginning of our Freshman year. There were about thirty-five of us. with many new faces. We elected the following class ofiicers: President, Eldon King: Vice-President, Ted Carter: Secretary, Sylvia Womack. VVe were also proud to have Barbara Wilkerson elected Cheerleader out of our class. Our Sponsor was Mr. Earl Flint. In 1946. August 19. we enrolled for our Sophomore year with about twenty-two. Our class sponsor this year was Mrs. Zula Edwards. VVe elected this year the following officers, President, Eddy Ellegoodg Vice-President, Vasteen Rives, Secretary, Jackie Bazzell. Many of our students have made themlslves outstanding with their studies and basketball. The boys in basketball have made outstanding players and are on the team with high honors. It seems as if Cupid has decided to decrease the Sophomore class by his darts of matrimony. Mona Lou Stokes was the victim this time. Mona is learn- ing household arts instead of studying the three Rs , But we still wish her much happiness. Although our school days are coming to an end, I know we can accomplish much in the next two years if we have the cooperation we had this year. Our class has tried in every possible way to follow the good examples set by Sophomore Classes of preceding years. I am sure if every one in the class will do his best, we will succeed.

lunior Closs History The year of 1944 was an eventful year for a few green little. freshies. To be exact they were Allene Allock, ,lean Hicks. Lela Henson. Betty Butler, Billy lack Ralph, Marvin Davidson, Perry Boyd, Otis Allock, ,lean Suttles, Wanda -lean Mathis, Leona Mangrum, I. B. Coates, Linda Sue Goatley, George Mabry, Marlene Arant, Katie Holmes and Sue F ristoe. Upon receiving their jr. High diplomas the preceding year they felt as if they were at the top of the ladder of life, but after taking such remarks and sly glan-:es as the Seniors gave them the first few days of their Freshman year they thought they had stumbled and gone to the bottomt As days passed by they learned to take their remarks not so seriously and started climbing again. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. James Lowe they soon became active in sports and dramaties and their shyness developed into brightness making the Seniors ashamed they had ever called them C3reenies. The following year the class both lost and gained members. It welcomed as permanent members Aaron Nal Copeland. Annie Lee Chapman, Lois Ford and jr. Pease from Melber. Also. one transient member, Betty Murphy, who stayed one semester leaving to enter school at Wingo. The ones that withdrew were Merline Arant, Mildred Oakley, Katie Mae Holmes, and Sue Fristoe. To the Seniors this was a class of Silly Sophomores, but when they needed a good sub on the ball team or an extra character in a play they were more than glad to call on a Sophomore. They spent a year with lots of work and plenty of play but learned that plenty had to be done to get to the top of the ladder they were climbing. VVith a determination they entered school the nineteenth day of August, 1946. to get to the top of that ladder. A new member entered into their midst with that same determination. That member was Linnie jo Davidson who at- tended Mayfield the preceding year. As midterm came Lunell Chummey from Milan, Tennessee and Charles Counts from Tilghman: also an old classmate from VVingo, Betty Murphy. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Jim Monroe the class is very active. - T he elected class otlicers are: President, Aaron Neal Copelandg Vice- President, Perry Boydg Secretary, Linnie .lo Davidsong and Treasurer, Jeane Suttles, all doing their best to make this the best Junior' Class that has ever been to Lowes High School. They selected their class motto Rowing, Not Drifting and rowing they areg for they are too near the top to lose their balance now. Class Reporter, Linnie Jo Davidson
