sd. W, g., As our high school life now ends, We bid farewell to all our friends, To those who helped and guided us, too, Let us never forget to be true. We thank our principal and teachers dear Who helped and guided us year after year, Our Friends and classmates we'll never forget, And all the good times we've had since we met. Our parents and teachers who helped us each day When our paths seemed dark and we lost our way, They helped us all our hardships to bear, To each of us they were iust and fair. All the rules that were set to follow Making us a better scholar, Our friends who were always ready to help To perk us up and give us pep. We know there will be much toil and strife Journeying down our roads of lite, But as we go from day to day, Let us never forget to pray. As we leave our wonderful school, Remember to follow The Golden Rule , May we hold our memories dear, For they will always bring us cheer. Soon the time will come at last To turn to the future instead of the past, But we'll remember you to the end, To the class of '56 you'll always be a friend. Now as we go our separate way On this our graduation day, We love you, Alma Mater, and we'll never forget The pattern of life for us you have set. Our ambitions we'll try to achieve, May thy blessings we receive, As we seek our paths to Find, May this day be ever thine. By: LINDA E. WALSH 43

Ufzaa .Malory It all began in September of 1950 when we were eighth graders. This was our year. We began the routine of changing classes which was new and exciting to us. We seemed outcast from the other higher-classed students, but we enjoyed our new schedule. It seemed school had hardly begun before we were out for summer vacation. We were back in no time and ready to move into our freshman year with much anticipation. Class officers for the freshman year were as follows: President, Wanda Henley, Vice-President, Rachel Huls Jeffrey, Secretary, Jackie Heath, and Treasurer, Janie Sue Rhodes. This year we seemed busier than our previous year. Being-able to participate in clubs with high-school students made us feel much better. Soon we received our final report which for most of us classified us as sophomores for the coming year. After our summer vacation we were again walking the halls of M. S. chatting with our friends. Each year we seemed to be participating in more activities and seemed to be a part of the many doings. Elected as leaders were Leo Teague, President, Elma Rea Willard, Vice-President, Kenneth Hauser, Secretary, Janie Sue Rhodes, Treas- urer, and Hughlene Davis, Reporter. This year we were to have our first formal prom. Many plans were made for this special event. On April 23rd we were seen dancing and having loads of fun in our cafeteria. The theme of our prom was Blue Gardenia, and everyone agreed it would be a memorable event. This year we also were fortunate to have a member of our class, Wanda Henley, chosen as homecoming queen. June of '54 found us ready for summer vacation. With report cards in hand, we were proud to be iuniors. Summer vacation was the shortest that year, and before we knew it we were welcoming the '54- '55 school year. Real- izing the responsibility that was ours as iuniors, for our leaders we elected Valinda Neal, President, Leo Teague, Vice-Pres- ident, Carroll Kay Nail, Secretary, and Lucy Jackson, Treasurer. Included in the events of our junior year was the measuring of our class rings. We well remember that exciting day as we marched into the auditorium to be measured. Our means of financing the Junior-Senior Prom was the selling of magazines, so naturally we began to consider this right away. l guess we will never forget our tryouts for the Junior Play. Some of the lucky ones able to participate in Junior Miss were Becky Smith, Ellen Stafford, Tommy Styers, David Wesley, Patsy Kallam, Mona Wilkes, Lionel Branscomb, Billy Hut- chins, Valinda Neal, Linda Walsh, Charles Whitley, Ronald Walker, Jackie Chambers, Richard Swing, and David Parker. I think everyone agreed it was loads of fun. Chosen as Junior Marshals were Carroll Kay Nail, Chief, Becky Smith, Elma Rea Willard, Janie Sue Rhodes, Kenneth Hauser, Douglas Choplin, Eugene Boles, and David Wesley. Lucky enough to be chosen as attendants in the homecoming court were Bettie Lou Grubbs and Lucy Jackson. Finally the day of our Junior-Senior Prom' arrived and on April T5 we honored the seniors on the Balinese Roof of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. The theme of our prom was Moonlight and Roses. Music was furnished by Art Lopez and orchestra. I guess we will always remember escorting those seniors through the arch. The Junior year closed with us anxiously looking forward to being seniors. Summer vacation over, we realized we were seniors and had finally reached our destination. Those holding the highest office of our senior class were Kenneth Hauser, President, Carroll Kay Nail, Vice-President, Valinda Neal, Secretary, Lucy Jackson, Treasurer, and Janie Sue Rhodes, Reporter. As the first duties of our senior class we chose our class colors and flowers, motto, superlatives, class night officers, mascots, and began making plans for our many senior activities. We proudly acclaimed Valinda Neal of our senior class as homecoming queen. Lucy Jackson was an attendant in the court. Senior stars honored at the homecoming were Leo Teague, Mike Doss, Jim Bradley, Lionel Branscomb, Bobby Burns, Harold Rash, Richard Swing, Paul Miller, and Wayne Stafford. We were also proud of Dawn Jackson who was chosen as Band Queen. Genene Hutcherson and Bettie Lou Grubbs were her attendants . This spring at Mineral Springs finds mixed emotions on the part of the graduating class. With the thought of graduation there is much reioicing and many tears. As our senior motto, To leave the world better than we find it, we, the graduating class of '56, hope we have done just that for our fine school of which we are so proud. As we close the vivid memory of our school years, our eyes moisten and our hearts are warmed as we reminisce about the classmates who have helped us in our highfschool career. We pay our most solemn respects to our teachers who have guided and influenced as well as taught us along the way. As graduation draws near and parting of our ways comes, we know not the future but we can rest assured in Him who holds the future in His hands. JANIE SUE RHODES Class Historian 45
