McKEE Seventh Grade LOUISE BURNETTE A true friend and always an interest on the mascu¬ line side—What more need we say about Louise. JACK BUTTRAM Our air minded senior who is always ready to argue. Jack is a very scholastic student and his second love is radio. MAYBELLE CARTER A refined air and never much to say. Maybelle is noted for her perfect posture. JENNIE LEE DOOLEY Jennie Lee is one of the athletic members of our class. She is an excellent math student and is always helping someone. She was last seen with Bill.” MILDRED DOOLEY Very cooperative, a sweet disposition, and never a cross word describes Mildred. 9 ELSIE GRAHAM Dignity, quietness and sincerity are some of Elsie’s most prominent traits. A very bright” girl who always succeeds. BILLIE JEAN HAMM A very prominent member o f the Senior Class is Bill Baby.” She takes an active part in all school activities. Bill is noted for her sudden out burst ! ! ! and her dynamic personality. LOIS HUTCHENS Lois, the artist of our class, is always ready to help a friend. She is also an excellent Latin student. EVELYN KARNES Evelyn, the very daring and zestful senior, is always on the go. She is always imitating someone and look¬ ing on the bright side of life. MURIEL KING The perfect bus driver, a wonderful baseball player, and a cooperative guy is Muriel. He is a person whom you like as a friend. 4 10 VERA LAM Vera is the little blonde who knows her way around. She is very congenial and a friend to everyone. JIMMY LUCK Ernest, sincere, and a devoted friend to all— that’s Jimmy. NORVELL LUMSDEN Handsome, popular, and very witty is our Norvell. Never is there a dull moment around him. His imi¬ tations of famous people should land him a job on Broadway. CATHERINE MATTOX Catherine is a person who really enjoys life. She is always full of vim and vigor and seldom seen without a book in her hand. ERNEST ORANGE Athletic as well as very studious, Ernest is one of the outstanding members of our class. His ambition is to be a farmer—so good luck. IRENE OVERSTREET Her engaging smile and wit have made Irene very outstanding. She’ll make a certain guy a perfect wife. HOMER RICHARDS Tall, lanky, and friendly are only a few adjectives describing our Homer. His spontaneous wit in class was always appreciated. If he goes to Georgia Tech we hope he won’t be tardy every morning. MALCOLM STONE Our friendly, red-haired Malcolm has been the class president for the last two years and has done a swell job. Neat, polite, and athletic are a few of his best traits. BETTY JEAN VAUGHAN A very versatile girl who always smiles and also has a muffled giggle. Betty Jean is most cooperative and veiy likeable. ODELLE WITT Sweet disposition and always a giggle or a grin —Odelle never meets a stranger and loves Home Ec. Class History What, this our Freshman bunch?” said Mr. McKee as sixty-one frightened but excited boys and girls as¬ sembled in the auditorium the first day of school in ’45. We were assigned to Room 3 with Miss Betty Albright and Mr. K. E. Coffman as our sponsors. With Jimmy Luck as our president, we started the year with high hopes. Other officers for this trying year were: Vice-President, Elsie Graham; Secretary and Treasurer, Louise Hooper; Reporter, Homer Richards. We were all curious to find what Rat Day was really like—and we did too! September the eighth of our Sophomore year we were again assigned to Room 3. We were glad to welcome as our sponsor Mrs. Eugene Campbell. We were called the branded name of the Sophomores— Silly Sophs.” Al¬ though our roll had decreased to 3 1 our class got off to a good start with the election of our officers who were: President, Jimmy Luck; Vice-President, Norvell Lums- den; Secretary and Treasurer, Elsie Graham; Reporter, Jimmy Parker. This year it was our turn to make Rats” out of the Freshmen. We gave them a taste of what we had gone through. Mrs. Campbell, our sponsor, gave us a weiner roast at her home which was a great success. In our Junior year we were fortunate to have Miss Virginia Anderson as our sponsor. We were Jolly Juniors this year, and before the year was out we really lived up to our name. Our most capable officers were as fol¬ lows: President, Malcolm Stone; Vice-President, Don Fuqua; Secretary and Treasurer, Billie Jean Hamm; Reporter, Elsie Graham. We were glad to welcome Jack Buttram to our class and he became an outstanding member. In February we gave our assembly program in the form of a radio show. All of the hidden talent was really brought out; such as, the dance by Homer and Don. The middle of March found us beginning on our banquet, Dinner In Dixie.” We spent many sleepless nights and days out of class, but on May 22 we en¬ lightened the Seniors. With the Sophomore girls and boys as waiters, cooks, and entertainers, it was a great success. We all went on a Hike to the Peaks” as a rest cure after the Banquet. Believe it or not we all hiked to the top, 2 Yz miles, even though Elsie passed out before we got to the top. The boys (?) smoked cigars! This ended the year ’47-’48. As Dignified Seniors” we started our Senior year with Miss Wilma Rayburn as our sponsor. Although our roll had now decreased to 20, we had a most co¬ operative and capable class with a lot of work ahead of us; such as, the Annual, paper, and the play. Under the skilled direction of Miss Rayburn, we pre¬ sented a Christmas Pageant” to the Community League and also to the school. Since Malcolm did such a nice job as our Junior Presi¬ dent, he was elected again this year. Other officers were: Vice-President, Elsie Graham; Secretary and Treasurer, Billie Jean Hamm; Reporter, Jack Buttram. There are a number of things we shall remember from this Senior year—the minstrel, we didn’t have, the annual festival, Spring Festival,” the picnics, and our Senior Play, Apple Blossom Time.” Our cast in¬ cluded: Bob Matthews, Jack Buttram; Charlie Lawrence, Jimmy Luck; Spud McClosky, Norvell Lumsden; Micky MaGulre, Malcolm Stone; Cal Pickens, Homer Richards; Betty Ann Stewart, Jennie Lee Dooley; Nancy Prescott, Lois Hutchens; Loretta Harris, Billie Jean Hamm; Polly Biddle, Betty Jean Vaughan; Malvina Krutz, Evelyn Karnes; Mrs. Forrest, Elsie Graham; Annabel Sprlggins, Catherine Mattox. Nor can we forget the silver tongued orator of our class, Ernest, who won first place in the county and district public speaking contests! And there was the Junior-Senior Banquet we had anxiously awaited and what a wonderful time we had. All these had been wonderful, but as it happens in the life of every Senior there is a time when he must say Farewell” to all his classmates and friends. So with aching hearts we remember too well our Class Night, Baccalaureate, Graduation Day, and then— Farewell, We shall always carry with us the wonderful memories of the ' Forty Niners.” Class Will We the Forty-Niners” leave, in parting, some of our most treasured possessions—those of talent, nicknames, and characteristics, —Although the memories of said possessions will live forever em¬ bedded in the heart of every Forty-Niner.” We leave these possessions in sincere hope that the receivers will respond in the proper manner and perhaps feel a tiny bit proud that we, in our last hours as students of M.H.S., have remembered them in our will. To the Eighth Grade we leave our headache over classes. To the Sophomores we leave our well conducted class meetings. To the Juniors we leave the Lab.” and the Senior privileges that we didn’t have. To the Faculty we leave our talents that were never used in class. Jack Buttram hopes that Tommy Berry will drive the fire truck as carefully as he did. Maybelle Carter leaves her long blonde hair and dignified air to Gladys McGuire. Louise Burnette leaves her interior decorating ability to the next Senior Home Ec. Class. Muriel King leaves his jolly manner and Santa Claus suit to Pascal Rose. Malcolm Stone leaves his ability to excel in all things to Don Fuqua. Irene Overstreet leaves Alfred her heart. Catherine Mattox wishes for Jeannette Franklin to have her tiny hands. Vera Lam leaves her boy friends to Betty Jane Nester. Jimmy Luck leaves his love for Agriculture and his southern drawl to Albert Hartberger. Jennie Lee Dooley leaves her nickname Legs” to Marion Smith. Billie Jean Hamm leaves her nickname Bill” to Beulah” (Beulah Carter, that is). Ernest Orange hopes that Garland Holland will be as quiet and easy going as he was. Betty Jean Vaughan and Elsie Graham leave the many secrets they shared in Phys. Ed. class still untold. Lois Hutchens leaves the student body her friendly attitude, enablying her to get along with every one. Norvell Lumsden leaves his imitations of Luigi” and the Bowery Boys” to Donald Waldron. Homer Richards leaves the basketball team his false front teeth in case of a rough game. Odelle Witt leaves her review of Saturday night dates to Peggy Stiff. Evelyn Karnes leaves Wade Hiner to Mary Frances Miller. Mildred Dooley wishes for Elizabeth Creasy to have her gentle feminine ways. We the class of 1949 being sound of mind do solemnly set our hand and seal to this our last will and testament on the 5th day of June of the year 1949.

The Spring Festival, sponsored by the Annual Staff, was about to get under way. But alas—What about the decorations? Oh, they were being taken care of too. About 9:00 A. M. on that mem¬ orable day, the Annual Staff and other club members met to whirl a magic wand over the auditorium to change those familiar walls into waving crepe paper. The main at¬ traction in the decoration line was the lovely picture of the Peaks of Otter which set off the stage very beautifully. And then that fateful hour—7:30 P. M.! Did someone have to catch your heart and you, when your number was next to the one chosen for the door prize? Oh, don’t worry, you’ll win a prize yet with all these games going on! There’s fishing, penny and ring pitching, and bingo. You’re bound to win a prize somewhere so get in there and pitch and play! Say, what have we here! None other than the Montvale Follies, featuring Alfred Overstreet and his Golden Guitar—The Dolly Sisters—Quick Stepping Suzie—and— Hot Foot Harry. Everyone had a wonderful time at every door and booth. Then those last crucial fifteen minutes—the electing of the King and Queen of Spring. I Could hardly live through it. Did you suffer much? Well, it was a close race with Margaret Parker and Albert Hartberger coming out victorious. The contestants were: Seventh Grade, Alma Fitzgerald and George King; Eighth Grade, Patty Boggess and Bobby Garrett; Sopho¬ mores, Margaret Parker and Bobby King; Juniors, Nancy Gray and Albert Hartberger; and Seniors, Elsie Graham and Norvell Lumsden. Everyone returned home with empty pockets and a gay heart.
