One day that fall we spent a harrowing but exciting initiation day with the Seniors. Scyble Rowton and Paul Shields represented our class at the Hallowe'en Carnival. Deloris Morris entered at Thanksgiving but dropped out in Mayg Rosa L. Hamilton en- tered in December, left in February. We lost L. D. Tackett in Feberuaryg later he entered the Army. At that time we welcomed Jimmy Holland while Nyla Mae Gray returned from ,Washington for the last month of school. Everett Freeman joined our class about the time Kenneth Wattenbarger left for California. Pauline Wilhite dropped out, and we completed the year with 21 members. September, 1949, found us as 19 Sophomores with Mrs. Florence Sharp as Sponsor and Floyd Brasher as class President. Kenneth Wattenbarger had returned, but Joan Davis and Delois Brewer had married during the summer vacation. Glen Carpenter and James Brasher enrolled for a few days before, joining the Army. Nyla Mae Gray and Ray Black represented our class at the Hallowe'en Carnival. We attended several shows and engaged in various activities during the year. The 19 original members finished the term. We entered school again in September, 1950, with 19 members, Mr. Ted Clowers as Sponsor and Everett Freeman as class President. We had lost Tessie Ramsey and Bill Wilhite during the summer but had gained Patsy Watkins and Anna Marie Foshee, who transferred to Glenwood at the end of the first semester. Dorothy Guthrey soon dropped out to be married. Patsy Watkins and Tommy Watson were our candidates for King and Queen of the Hallowe' en Carnival. Everett Freeman left us for greener pastures in Ohio during the spring. We had an enjoyable year with many activities including our Junior Class Play, Red-Headed Royalty from Arkansas, which we considered quite good. Early in May we entertained the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Town Hall. We ended the year with 16 members. After much hard work we became Seniors in September, 1951, with 15 members, Mr. New as Sponsor and Floyd Brasher as class President. Ray Harbour had moved to Springdale during the vacation, while Paul Shields had joined the Army, but we gained Ambrus Robbins, a transfer from Indianola, Mississippi. We immediately began to make plans for a busy and happy year. We elected Dorothy Tackett as Editor of the Yearbook and Faye Carter as Business Manager, and sold advertising enough to enable us to have a larger book than usual. Nyla Mae Gray represented Norman High School as candidate for Montgomery County Fair Queen and we all spent a day at the Fair. In October we made a trip to Mena to have pictures made, ordered our rings, selected invitations, and caps and gowns for Commencement. Dorothy Tackett and Ambrus Robbins were crowned King and Queen of the Hallowe' en Carnival. In November we were all happy to be present at the dedication of our new Gymnasium. We, 13 members of the original Freshman Class and 2 newer members, are looking forward to many more activities during the second semester. l..l.,.. -..g.a.-,-.-. .. -.We i. .. . M-.. A.. -M 1 ...J

Not wishing to take any chances that our unusual achievements may not live after us, we leave to all our friends the Yearbook of 1952, which contains a record of many of our most out- standing attainments this year. , We give to the Junior Class our self-satisfaction, our importance, our wisdom, our Senior dignity, our good luck, our privileges and rights as Seniors, our Christmas tree decorations, any unfinished business, including debts, also any boy or girl left behind in our haste. To the Sophomore Class we leave our patience. It will finally bring them to this enviable position where we find ourselves today. To the Freshmen we leave our book, How to Tell the Teachers, an invaluable aid for better grades. It contains specific information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please and thosevwhom it is impossible to please. You will treasure it To the 7th and 8th Grades we leave the privilege of spreading gossip. To our dear old school building we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence, and to the faculty we give our entire store of knowledge, It was theirs in the beginning. We also give to the teachers our very kindest regards and gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid to us. To the library we bequeath all the detective stories, comic books, and other junk that we , prized so highly and read so carefully all year. The smaller individual bequests are as Follows: I, Ray Black, bequeath my candy eating in Government to Jerry West, my bashfulness to Gene Roberts, my good nature to Artis Lee Graves. ' I, Floyd Brasher, leave my whiskers to Hodge Black, my arguing with the teachers to Billy J. Gaston, my manly chin to Martin Black. .---H-M ............,..
