CHARLES MC CLEAN STANDING: IR. LEE A. LAIASTER ll HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1950 There were 61 freshmen who began their voyage for the senior side of the assembly, way back in l9h6. Although we were not initiated, we be- came known as the green freshmen of Old N. W. H. S. Those entering school during that year were: Margaret Ziegler, Nancy Greenwood and Made- line Dean. We elected the following officers: president, Mae Nelle Foster; vice president, Dorothy Pollard; secretary and treasurer, Norman Zimmerman; reporters, Betty Prewitt and Ernie Mappins. We chose as our class sponsor, Mr. Hatfield. During our year as greenies we lost nine of our crew. In 19h? we moved over toward the center aisle as silly sophomores. The school dances of this year turned out to be a big success. We wel- comed Mr. Hall to our school as history teacher and coach; and he later joined Mr. Hatfield as sponsor of our class. Our officers for this year were: president, Norman Zimmerman; vice president, Ernie Mappins; secretary and treasurer, Mae Nelle Foster; re- porters, Doris Head and Bill James. During this industrious year Bill Engle, Joe 'Newton, Marla Evans, Alma Smith, Thelma Vest, Lucy Townsend and Doris Head Joined us as silly sophomores. There were fifteen of us who didn't want to become Jolly juniors 1n 19L8. Well, this was our big year. Our main goal was to make money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was very successful, and enjoyed by all who attended. We sold magazines and had a rummage sale which added to our pennies. We welcomed Maurice Cash and Eva Walls to our class. Our offi- cers were: president, Norman Zimmerman; vice president, Ernie Mappins; secretary and treasurer, Alma Smith; reporters, Bill James and Doris Head. We lost fourteen members during this year. Well, finally we reached our destination which was to sit in the last three rows of seats in the assembly. Gee, it sounded good to be called dignified. There were 30 of us who had the desire to sit in those seats. Those who didn't sit for long were: Eva Walls, Melvin Har- mon, Margaret Ziegler and Joan Ringo. Our president was Norman Zimmer- man; vice president, Maurice Cash; secretary and treasurer, Beulah Cart- right; reporters, Sherrill Peters and Audrey Tucker. Weoare all proud of our crew of 30. We'll really feel proud of ourselves when we can change the tassel on our hats and walk out as graduates of New Washington High School. --Audrey Tucker SENIOR WILL we, the class of 1950, having been New Washington High School students for four years, do declare this to be our last will and testament. We be- queath to the class of '51 the honor of being dignified seniors and do also bequeath to them the last three rows of seats on the east side of the as- sembly. Robert Austin bequeaths to Jerry Wiggam his ability to sing, hoping that Jerry will use this gift freely--maybe on a radio station. George Baird bequeaths to Buddy Monroe his quiet ways, and hopes that he will surely use it to the best advantage. Sam Beach and Lloyd Barton bequeath to Thomas Brear and Frank Mauk their secret of being short and sweet, thus assured that they can always find a girl of the same description. Edward Boles bequeaths to Ralph Clapp his gift of knowledge and hopes that within the next year he becomes a straight A student. Glenn Bower bequeath: to the bookkeeping class of '51 his bookkeeping papers, hoping that they do not have to spend as much time on it as he did. Beulah Cartright and Joann Forsee bequeath to Jeanette Webb and Marietta Shepherd their beautiful curly hair, assuring them that they do not have to curl it or wear a scarf to keep it that way. Maurice Cash bequeaths to Clyde Henry his artistic ability reminding him that a gift like this doesn't come every day. Jhmes Carroll begueaths to Whayne Read his blond hair on the condition that he won't forget to have it out once in a while. Billy Clapp and James Cortner bequeath to Donald McCreary and Ernest Sex- ton their secret of being great pals and sincerely hope that they are good friends forever. Bill Engle bequeaths to one of the students of the typing class his type- writer with the wish that their fingers fit the keys better than his did. Charles Gregory bequeaths to one of the senior boys his occupation as mail carrier for the school warning them never to stop at the store for can y. Thelma Vest bequeaths to Verda Jones the privilege of writing articles for the Chronicle. She suggests that it takes a bit of thinking. Audrey Tucker bequeath: to Carol lent her fondness for people whose last names begin with G. Mr. Hall and Mr. Hatfield be ueath to Mrs. Plaskett the pleasure of spon- soring the senior class of ' l assuring her that she will have no trouble because seniors alvays live up to their name-- dignified that is. --Thelma Vest JO ANN CALLIS JERRY 'IGGAI DORIS FELLOWS DOROTHY GRAEBE JAIES HOSTETIER EmGY FIELDS DONALD KC CREARY DORIS SANDLIN CLYDE HENRY JEANETTA WEBB MARIETTA SHEPHARD 15 A E IARY CISSELL .m- VW 9 432 Q 5 $5 g a gmewgmg X22 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 19h?, forty-eight scared students walked into the assembly of N. W. H. S. and took seats on the freshman side. Soon the other students of N. W. H. S. started calling us greenies. We didn't know why because we thought that we were very intelligent to have reached the high-rank of freshmen after being in grade school for eight years. Just when we had found out where to go for our classes and thought we were really getting intelliaent, we were notified by the seniors that we were not full-blooded . W. students yet. Were we ever shocked when they told us what we had to do to become full- blooded N; W. students! Well, how would you feel if you had to go around carrying a paper bag stuffed full of paper all day or bowing to the seniors and eating worms? When that ordeal was over, we were allowed to elect our class officers. The results of this election showed Buddy Monroe as president, Jo Ann Callie as vice-president, Carol Anne Kent as secretary-treasurer, and Ruth Monroe and Jimmy Hostetler as reporters. We may have been greenies, but we did one bright thing as freshmen. That was when we chose Mrs. Plaskett for our class sponsor. During this year several students moved, chose marriage, or quit. They were Jimmie Atkins, Ralph Dean, Billy Fields, Ernest Hicks, Jr., Clarence Stricker, Ronnie Willey, L. J. Wheeler, Norma Bagshaw, Joyce Harbin, Lavaughn Moore, and Lois Rogers. There were also two students who Joined us later in the year--Ima Sims and Ernest Sexton. In-19h8 we invaded the assembly as silly sophomores. We found that there were forty of us still in the class. We were sorry to see that Ruth Monroe and Martin Bard had not come back; however we were glad to see that three new students had joined us--Thomas Brear, Sue Foster, and Doris Sandlina We elected officers as follows: Clyde Henry, presi- dent; Jo Ann Callie, secretary-treasurer, and Frank Mauk and Marie Hutt- sell, reporters. During the year eight students left us--Roy Lee May, Bradley Ogle, Zeda Bladen, Ruth Clemmons, Jean Dickey, Anna Early, Mari- lyn Hobson, and Ima Sims. We didn't have much entertainment in our sophomore year, and as a result we studied and were very intelligent students t?l by the end of the year. The year l9h9 was a big year for us. We moved across the aisle in the assembly and became jolly Juniors. I'm sure no one in the class regretted this move; however we did regret that there were only twenty- seven of us left. Missing this year were Amy Boling, Isabelle Hicks, Marie Huttsell, Josephine Jones, and Sue Foster. After a long political campaign we electedv our officers. The results showed Dorothy Mauk as president; Thomas Brear as vice-president; Buddy Monroe as secretary treasurer, and Carol Anne Kent and.C1yde Henry as reporters. We had several big events to come up this year, but the greatest one was our class rings. We thought that they would never get here, but Santa thought we had been good and brought them to us two days before Christ- mas. We also went into the magazine business this year. We found that . we had some students who were really good salesmen. The Curtis Company awarded certificates to the two super salesmen 1n the class----Betty Wheeler and Dorothy Graebe. We divided into two teams, the Hatfields and the McCoys. Who won? Why, naturally, the McCoys. The losing team had to give the winning team a party which made it all the more interesting. January 12, 1950 was a special day for the Juniors because on this day we Journeyed to Madison to have our pictures taken for the Annual. Either the camera was weak or we are a worse-looking class than '3 thought because the camera broke! We also have another thing to be proud of this year. That is that two of the cheer leaders are from our c1ass--Carol Anne Kent and Betty Wheeler. Mrs. Plaskett has remained our sponsor for three years, and '0 are hoping that she will be with us next year. I'm sure that she will be if she can possibly stand us. Now we are looking forward to three big events. One, of course, is the banquet that we will give in honor of the seniors this spring. Another is the Junior play which is coming up in March. The third, of course, is looking forward to being seniors next year. --Dorothy Graebe JUNIOR RED CROSS OFFICERS First Row: Hrs. Plaskott, Ruth Ann Berry, Danny Ihtorfill, Bobby Hoary.
