HISTORY The Senior Class of '56 entered Macks Creek High School in the fall of '52 as Freshmen with 29 members as follows: Glenda Cobb, Billy Wood, Carol Morris, Von Willis, Jim Newton, Joann Green, Billy Woodall, Glessie Dawson, Roy Pennel, Janis Drinkwater, Thomas Morris, Peggy Clemmons, Robert Alvis, Janice Kerr, David Lain, Norma Osborn, L. Z. Moulder, Edna Green, Emmett Johnson, Shirley Coffey, Loren Smith, Rosa Willey, Len Hicks, Janice Howard, Herbert Smith, Rose Pennel, Wanda King, Dean Dawson, Wanita Moulder. They chose Mrs. Jessup and Mrs. Odam as their sponsors. Rose Pennel, Rose Willey and Wanda King withdrew from the class at the end of the year. Next they became Silly Sophomores, which was somewhat better than being Green Freshmen. They were happy to have Wayne Winn and John Hooper join their group. Mr. Boswell and Mrs. Kinard were chosen as sponsors and at the end of the year Shirley Coffey, Janice Kerr, John Hooper, Joann Green, Janis Drinkwater, Herbert Smith, Roy Pennel, and Wayne Winn withdrew from the class. Although decreased in number, the remaining members struggled along until they became Lovesick Juniors. The Junior play Hillbilly Weddin was given March 29, 1955, and they gave the Seniors of '55 a banquet on May 3, 1955 using the theme Stars Over Morocco1 ' They chose Leon Ricker as sponsor, and Georgia Kowertz and Evelyn Pack joined the group. Wanita Moulder and Don Linton withdrew at the end of the year. On September 5, 1955 this class finally reached the position of Dignified' Seniors. Richard Eldred and Imogene Moulder joined the group making a total of 23 in the grad- uating class. Mr. Edwards was selected sponsor. They received their class rings, senior pictures, caps and gowns, and finally their diplomas. These past four years will live in their memory as the years in 'which a group of unrefined youngsters were converted into intelligent, courteous citizens, preparing to take their place in the world.

Let's make a brief tour of the country and see just what's happened to this outstanding group in the last ten years. First we see Glenda working as a model in the northern part of France. As we are chatting with her, our bus driver appears and it's Jim, in business with his father-in -lawl We know bus drivers get around a lot so we ask him about the other members of the class

He tells us he has just seen Len, who is head cartoonist for Esquire Magazine, and Dean, who is manufacturing Wheaties for the Hanson Grocery Co. As we start across the street we are almost run down by Tommy in his ancient Jaguar, who owns the Hot-Roders-Haven in Chicago. He tells us Richard has just passed by selling Foam-O toothpaste, door-to- door. We continue on and there's Janice, a gym instructor for the Olympic champions in Finland. We inquire about Loren and find he is head mathematician for London and London on Wall Street. In Kansas City we see Von making millions as a jockey for the America Royal and here also is Peggy, vice president for Smith Cough Drops, Inc. We hear that Glessie has just invented an improved freckle-cream and is an Avon Represent- ative. We arrive in time for lunch at Billy Wood's coffee plantation in Brazil and see Carol in Las Vegas, operating a roulette table. We turn on our TV and see Edna, who holds the undefeated title of Miss Universe and Norma, top disc Jockey for Hillbilly Hits. We find Emmett operating a Taxi in Brooklyn and L, Z, running a projector for MGM Studios. As our tour draws to a close we hear that Georgia is traveling abroad and Evelyn is a costume designer for Mademoiselle somewhere in France. We hear beautiful music, and there's Billy Woodall, a famous violinist for a symphony orchestra. Who's this except Robert making records as the world's best deep-sea-diver! And there's Imogene, she is leading attraction of the New, Improveti Ozark Opera. Lastly we arrive at West Point where David has a successful career as a paratrooper instructor. And we end our nip by having a cup of coffee in the Rain-Bow. CLASS WILL I, Peggy Clemmons, will my sweet disposition to Beverly Mackey.
