‘LEO ROBERSON President MARGARET CROWE Vice-President JO ANN MAULTSBY Secretary Fun-loving seniors Seniors, caught in a whirlwind of caps and gown meas- urements, senior play practices, calling card orders, senior step occupancy, college applications, and a battery of other duties and privileges peculiar to seniors, took everything in their stride and found time occasionally for other things. Led by class officers Leo Roberson, president; Margaret Crowe, vice-president; Jo Ann Maultsby, secretary; and senators Tommy Womble, Herman Postma, Mary Fisher, Linwood Robinson, Jack King, and Roddy Cameron, and class adviser Miss Texys Morris, they presented a successful senior play and were honored by junior-senior prom. They survived final exams in splendid condition, knowing they really were finals; they marched out first in assembly, to the amusement of the watchbird, dangling from the balcony. The superlative election was of major senior interest; the HANOVERIAN staff held a Roman banquet assembly program to introduce them, at which the watchbird, draped in a toga and nibbling grapes, felt very superior because he had peeked at the list and already knew who they were. The National Honor Society inducted twenty delighted seniors, making a total of thirty-three members. Other clubs elected officers, and seniors assumed more and more respon- sibility. Their senior year was a combination of plans for the future and memories o f the past . . . with eagerness, relief, and regret they were swept forward to May... to their own graduation, and after that to college, careers, and homes. 27

GEORGE PATTERSON “mer” Progressive student body officers JOYCE HAYES Vice-President BETTY LOU LAMB Secretary Were leaders of the complex system of student govern- ment embodying the Senate and the House. The Senate, com- posed of six representatives from each class and the class presidents, formulated bills, originated finance legislation, and worked with the House of Representatives for the gen- eral welfare of the student body. The House was composed of home room representatives, class vice-presidents, and headed by Joyce Hayes, student body vice-president. Both House and Senate were led by George Patterson, student body president, and served by Betty Lou Lamb, stu- dent body secretary. They worked closely with the cabinet, executive committee, and the judicial department. The watchbird was an enthusiastic participant in the spirited campaigns for student body officers; he chirped speeches, wore campaign ribbons, and hardly squeaked at all when he was mistaken for a thumb tack and pushed through his favorite candidate’s poster into the wall. The student body was intensely interested in both the elections and the elected. As leaders of the whole school, these officers were closely connected with its personality and activities, and as legislature heads they played a vital part in effecting improvements and helping to make the new con- stitution function more efficiently than ever. 26
