CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1950 entered Newport High School as Freshmen with twenty nine members. Out of these we chose Gordon Richardson, President: Rich- ard Mills, Vice President: Wanda Greene, Secretary and Treasurerg and Don Mitchell and Gordon Richard- son, Student Council. We certainly were red in the face flipstickl at Freshman initiation, but we enjoyed it as much, if not more than the sophomores who had the plea- sure of painting us up. At the Recept- ion Night Clem really gave out with t he Hula-Hula , Frances DeBeck sang Symphony , the girls sang Give me Five Minutes More and a groupof four boys sang My Bonnie . King and Queen candidates for Win- ter Carnival from our class were Gor- don Richardson and Wanda Greene with Richard Mills acting as campaign manager. We found, when we entered school next fall, that we had only twenty-one membersin the class. Atour first meet- ing we elected Gordon Richardson, President, Virene Booth, Vice Pres- identg Billy Potter, Secretary 3 Inez Sewell, Treasurer: Wanda Greene, Don Mitchell and Gordon Richardson, Student Council. Our faculty advisor was Mr. Burton. G I Although we were somewhat restrict- ed on Freshman initiation day, we had a grand time making those Freshmen to look comical. The Freshmen were good sports and had fun, too. We sponsored a hay ride for the school in our next meeting. It was a long, cold ride but everyone enjoyed it. Then came Sophomore prize speak- ing tryout, about which everyone was enthusiastic. This was the first real event we had since we started high school. Those chosen out of the class were: Elaine Garrison, Pauline Lan- caster, Frances DeBeck, Dale Carsley, Gordon Richardson, and Westley May- nard. Virene Booth a n d James Flagg were alternates. Westley Maynard took 1st prize and James Flagg second. For the girls, Frances DeBeck won first prize and Elaine Garrison second. Winter Carnival soon rolled around and again we chose Gordon Richard- son and Wanda Greene as King and Queen candidates with Richard Mills as the campaign manager. W hen September came around we found our Junior class had only nine- teen members. The following were chosen for class oflicwrsg President, Westley Maynardg Vice President, Don Mitchellg Secretary, Ronald Plummer: Treasurer, Billy Potter, Student Coun- cil, Dale Carsley, Jean Boylan. Betty Garrison and Westley Maynard. The King and Queen candidates for '49 were Billy Potter and Betty Garri- son. Those out for sports from our class were Eunice Parker, Inez Sewell, Lois Dow, Betty Garrison, Dale Cars- ley, Billy Potter, and Ronald Plummer. We were very proud to have so many members of the class participatingin Winter sports. In February try-outs were held for Junior prize speaking. The judges picked the following: Gloria Conant, Frances DeBeck, Elaine Garrison, Eunice Parker, James Flagg, Westley Maynard, Richard Mills, Billy Potter with Dale Carsley and Lois Dow as alternates. First prize for the girls was taken by Gloria Conant and sec- ond prize went to Elaine Garrison. First prize for the boys was won by Westley Maynard and second prize by Billy Potter. We finished our Junior year with the Commencement Ball which was a great success. The Class '50 very proudly entered their last year at N. H. S. in Septem- ber. Class officers elected this year
