Memories of the past few years come crowding in, forming a happy pic- ture of hours well-spent. The class of '47 entered high school in the fall of 1942. We were young then, but we kept things moving. Twenty-nine of us--Junior Andrews, Desmond Bridges, Jes- se Englett, Randolph Jeter, John Ross Long, Bobby Mayton, Dick McDonald, Edgar Mer- edith, Harry Miller, Don Mooney, Will Moore, Thomas Parrott, Eugene Pegues, John S. Reynolds, Aubrey Rush, Richard Sanderson, Alex Singleton, Otis Weedon, Dean Wilson, Margaret Baker, Anna Pearl Cox, Lula Mae Cleveland, Lucie Bell Edwards, Bobbie Jean Grant, Rebecca Harper, Nell Mayton, Doris Morgan, Dorothy Roberts, and Willie V. Weatherly--reported that September morning to our home-room teacher, Mr.A.L. Smith. There was a lot of potential football material in our group. In fact, throughout our entire high school course we have made a name for ourselves and our school in all athletics. Before the year was out, our number began to decrease. In the fall Desmond Bri dges left us. Dick McDonald moved to Montgomery, Anna Pearl Cox to Selma, and Re- becca Harper to Uniontown. Later in the year Otis Weedon and Jesse Englett stopped school. We came back to school in the fall of 1944 with eighteen students reporting to Mrs. Dunaway. Bobbie Jean Grant had moved to Alexander City, Alton Vickers to Sel- ma, and Clyde Hicks to Camden. We were somewhat saddened by the loss of Will Moore in a tragic accident during the past summer. We had a very successful year, not only in athletics, but in our studies also. Most of the athletes in the school were to be found in our class. Cupid was again at work. Lula Mae Cleveland married during the school year and set up housekeeping. That left only seventeen of us. When school opened in September, 1946, we were proud seniors. Again the armed forces took its toll of our number. Alex Singleton joined the Army, and Don Mooney enlisted in the Navy. Willie V. Weatherly married during the sum er and was not with us. But with the end of the war we gained four veterans--George Jewell, John Thomas Bridges, Martin Smith, and Charles Moore. Charles was taking a post-graduate course, but he could not resist the offer of a good job which was offered him, so he left us before Christmas. Wmrtin Smith also left us at mid-term to enter the U- niversity of Alabama. The athletes of the class of '47 helped to produce one of the finest athletic records in the history of the school. We shall long remember the happy hours spent in developing physical skill and sportsmanship on the football field,the basketball court, and the baseball diamond. Now that we have come to the end of our high school days, we face the future with a feeling of expectancy. Our years together have better equipped us to meet whatever is in store for us. May we be bound always by the bonds of friendship which have held us close during our high school days. BOBB!

KU We, the Senior Class of 1947 of Orrville High School, town of Orrvllle, County of Dallas, State of Alabama, being of sound minds--as far as is possible after four years of high school--and not acting under fraud, duress, or undue influ- ence, do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills and codicils by us made at any time. ARTICLE I Item I: We,.do hereby bequeath to our esteemed principal, W. F. Childres, all the popcorn, empty sacks, and candy wrappers with which we have so generously strewn the halls during the past years. To said principal we also leave our gratitude for his kindness and understanding through the past years. Item II: To the faculty we leave our thanks and our sincere hope that they may find rest and repose from the worry which we have thoughtlessly caused them. Item III: We do hereby leave to the Class of '48 our gongeniality,cooperat1ve spirit, and superb leadership. In the coming year you will have many important decisions to make, and we would like to be assured that there will be no fric- tion nor arguments which would cause you headaches and loss of sleep. ARTICLE II We, as individuals, do make and declare this to be our disposal of the follow- ing personal items: I, Margaret Baker, leave my quick solution of Chemistry equations to Stanhope Frasier to use in any way he sees fit. I, Thomas Parrott, leave the managership of various athletics to Howell Gees- lin to be passed on to some other honest and dependable person. I, Bobby Mayton, leave my athletic prowess to E. P. Massey for his development of brawn and brain. I, Lucie Bell Edwards, leave my voice to Randy Davis that she may lead assem- bly singing next year. To her also I leave my fondness for blondes. I, George Jewell, will my manly physique and my ability to diagram sentences to Roy West. I, Nell Mayton, leave my charm to Ruth Marshall. You may have a new boy friend for every sport if you wish, Ruth. I, Edgar Meredith, leave my sharp wit to Clyde Hicks so that the next class may have its share of nonsense. ' I, Dorothy Roberts, leave my quiet manner and lovable disposition tothrol- yn West. ' I, Aubrey Rush, leave my romantic tendencies to Nick Lindsay, secure in the knowledge that Nick will keep them as quiet as I did. I, John S. Reynolds, leave my running ability to Ralph walker. It's handy at times, Ralph. I, Dean Wilson, leave my art of high pressure politics to Leroy McGhee to be used, developed, and left in Orrville School for the good of posterity. H I,John Thomas Bridges, leave my winning smile to Morgan Edwards so that he may have milk saved for him each day in the cafeteria. I, Charles Moore, leave all of my vices to Billy Chlldres. I, Randolph Jeter, will my ability to argue on any point, right or wrong, to Sammie Lewis. I, Harry Mi11er,leave my likeable personality and dependability to Joe Knight, so that in Senior High School he may stand in good with his teachers. I, Eugene Pegues,leave my art of swaggerlng to Glova Bridges. It makes a great impression on the ladies, Glove. I, John Ross Long, leave my love for cigarettes and women to Sollie Oliver. Don't let them get you down, Sollie. I, Martin Smith, leave my best dance steps to the boys who are left in Orr- ville High School,to share and share alike, and to use without favor. Really the girls prefer male partners, boys. Lucie Bell Edwards CLASS LAWYER CLASS MOTTO: Let us be seen by our deeds. CLASS FLOWER: Gardenia iii?

Assembly programs, the Hal- lowe'en Carnival, and student body parties are hand- led by the council. All activities that are held in school have the approval of the council, whose duty it is to arrange the time and place for meetings.Al1 members may bring up problems of their respective home rooms for discussion and approval at council meetings. 37 BOY SCOU TS o NW S 1, 5:19 'SCOUTMASTER---Lee Holladay FEYING EAGLE PATROL WOLF PATROL Billy Childres P.

Ono game ended in a scoreless deadlock, the only time the nigh-scoring Torrexms were held scoreless. The Torrents were put to work September 2 by Coach Scarborough. The first week of practice was devoted entirely to conditioning and placing the men. ns the second week rolled around, the squad got down to real work in preparation for the opening game with the strong Perry County High Hams. On Septemoer 20 the Blue Torrents journeyed to Marion to tangle with the P. C. H. S. team. The game turned out to be a battle of defensive giants,contrary to pre-game dope, which indicated a wide ooen defensive show. P. C. H. S., with Xing, Sanders, and Griffin, stellar backs, showed a hard- hitting offense at times but could not put together a scoring drive. The defense of the Perry Coun- ty team was led by two hard-hitting tackles, Sanders, lY5-pound fullback. The Orrville offense, led by the running passing of Q. b. Glove bridges, showed signs crack. The Orrville line played a great defensive game with Jetell, Frasier, standing games. The next opponent was the strong Camden team, which defeated the 'h5 tewm of halfbacks, Layton and Jeter, Tubbs and Liddlebrooks, and the demon line-backing of and the blocking and of developing into a tough nut for future opponents to and Long playing out- in a close game. The Torrents were determined not to let them repeat their victory, and after taking the opening kick-off and scoring without relinquishing the ball, went on to win 13-o. The Camden team was led by Farish, l95-pound halfback, and Hall, glue-fingered pass receiver. The Orrville aerial game clicked well with Layton passes, two ball on the line with Jewell and Frasier playing their same brilliant defensive game. The Blue connecting on several neat tosses to test and Jeter. G. Bridges also tossed several nice 5oin5 to wingback Jeter for touchdowns. Oliver, Long, and Lewis played good offensive Torrents tackled the Akron High team October M on the home field. The gmme was played in sweltering weather, but the Torrents' offense could not work up any steam. They drove for touchdowns in the first and fourth periods to cop the game l2-U. The defense stood out like a beacon with the Akron team unable to cross the mid-field stripe more than twice in the game. Colvin, l6O-pound half- back, led the Akron team on offense and defense. G. Bridges tossed a lateral pass to Jeter touchdown, and hayton connected with Frasier in the end zone for the second tally. This was tent of the scoring threats put together by the Torrents. Again Frasier, Jewell, and Long defensive line play with G. bridges and LcGhee playing a good game at the line-backing post. The next game was with the tough Thonaston aggregation. Here the Torrents tasted defeat first and last thme. The game was played before one of the largest crowds to witness a game for one the ex- led the for the in this section. The Thomaston team pushed the Orrville team around in the first half, and with Dial and noseley leading the offensive play, left the field with a comfortable l2-O lead. The next half was 53 a different story, however, with Orrville taking the kick-off and driving 70 yards in 2 minutes to get back in the game. Layton and Miller sparked this drive with G.Bridges tossing the pay-off pitch to Jeter. Dayton drove over for the extra point. The Orrville team drove to the 2, 5, and 15 yard lines in the last quarter but could not garner that last payoff punch, and the Torrents went down to a 12-7 defeat. ' From this game on the Torrents hit their stride. The next victim was the Fort Deposit team. The Torrents took command early and marched to a decisive 26-O victory. The entire squad showed up in this gane, and all played nice gawes. The next game was a hard fought game with the heavy Greensboro Tigers. The Torrents scored early on passes to Jeter and Frasier and led at the half 13-O. The next half was tougher sledding with Drake and Bedsole, 175- and 185-pound halfbacks for Greensboro, driving for two touchdowns while the Torrents were marking up one more on a beautiful to yard pass from G. Bridges to Jeter in the end zone.' hayton's great punting, Liller's hard driving, and the defensive play of Long, Lauderback, Frasier, Jewell, mc3hee, G. Bridge entire squai the Torrents to a TUG next game was with a rugged and Stewart,and the offensive play kept the Orrvillians bustling the played his best offensive gwne of nents as a great back. The entire s, Kayton, Jeter, and best, and the never-give-up spirit of the well-earned 19-12 victoryt team from Autaugaville. The Autaugaville defense, led by Sheridan of Babston, one of the best backs seen on the field in many moons entire gave to cane out on the long end of a 37-lb score. Mayton the year and showed the spectators why he was hailed by all oppo- team played a rugged and rough defensive game. Both Autaugaville tallys were on long passes by Dabston. Orrville met the Hayneville team November 8 on the Orrville field. Hayneville, led by Luckie and dives, held the Torrents to a 6-6 deadlock at the half, but after the intermission the offense got rolling and steam-rolled the Hayneville team under by a 32-6 score. The entire team played good de- fensive and offensive games. G. Bridges was outstanding. He tossed four scoring aerials to Jeter, and Layton completed a beautiful pass to Frasier for the final tally. The Torrents wound up their successful season by stomping a heavy Dixon's Mill team 65-O. The Orrville team scored at will throughout the game and held the Dixon's Mill team to minus yardage. killer ran through the entire team for 80 yards early in the fourth quarter for the outstanding play of the day. The nayton and G. Bridges to Jeter passing c mbination clicked for 6 touchdowns. May- ton galloped 30 yards for one touchdown and tossed a scoring aerial to Frasier. D. Bridges, back in top shape, scooted 10 yards for one touchdown to finish up the scoring and the season. The Urrville team set a staggering mark for future teams to shoot at by amassing 201 points to the opponents' SO. Some individual marks were set up to shoot at also as Layton completed his third season without a blocked punt and an average near the to yard mark. G. Bridges tossed 19 scoring aerials and Jeter romped across the goal 19 times for llh points. Jewell, Frasier, and Long set im- pressive records defensively along with Orrvi1le's two great line-backers, 3. Bridges and McGhee. McGhee, 130-pound center, was placed on the Advertiser All-State Squad as was Mayton, halfback and captain of the Torrents. Frasier, test, J. Knight, and P. Knight held down the terminal positions this year,and all four received letters. Jewell, E. Pegues, Oliver, Lewis, and P. Pegues on tackles were all outstanding performers and received letters. The guard positions were capably manned by 6 boys who all started at least one game. Long held down the left side with Wilson and Reynolds as understudies. The right was a wide open fight all year with Lauderback, Edwards, and Walker scrapping it out. The center spot was also strong with All-State hike hCGhee and his 130-pound helper, Meredith, holdini down this position. The backfield was weak in reserve strength with but five previous letter-men on hand. G. Bridges capably manned the blocking back slotg and when he took a rest, Jeter ran as blocking back. Captain Layton and Alternate Captain Jeter held down the halfbacks for the second year. hayton also switched to fullback on occasions and D. Bridges took over the tailback duties. Lliller, light but fast, held down the fullback post. Patterson, harrcn, and Kassey held down supporting roles. much of the success goes to the fine coaching of Coach Scarborough and the excellent mental and physical fitness that he kept the squad in throughout the hard schedule. Through the untiring ef- forts of Coach and hr. Childres the squad was one of the best equipped teams for its size in the state. The fine spirit of the cheerleaders--Dorothy Roberts, Randy Davis, largaret Reynolds, Lucie Bell Edwards, and Nell Layton--the faculty, the entire student body, and the supporters contributed much to the success of the team. 54 TORRENTS GLOVA BRIDGES 160-lb, Soph.

Guard PEE WEE EOOTB LL Ill Alh The Junior Blue Torrents, champions of the Pee Wee League in '45, captured the runner-up spot in the league this season with a record of five victories, one tie, and one defeat. The Torrents lost several of their stars from the '45 championship squad, but Coach nSparkieu Brid- ges, with several veterans and a group of promising newcomers on hand, fielded a well-rounded, hard-hitting team. The season opened with the Torrents winning a hard fought game from the Green Wave by a score of l2-6. Captain Billy Childres dashed 60 yards through the entire team in the fading minutes of the game to break the 6-6 deadlock. ' The following week saw the Torrents roll over the Wolverines by a 14-O score for their second victory. The Golden Tornadoes were the opponents for the third game of the campaign. The Tornadoes, led by Sonny Carter, hard running back, was undefeated and had run roughshod over the other teams in the league. At the end of this hard fought contest the issue was still not decided as the game ended 7-7. The Green Wave fell before the Torrents the following week for the second time. The Torrents opened up their razzle dazzle offense and rolled over them by a score of 52-O. The Wolverines ran into the red hot Torrents and were trounced to the tune of a 20-O score. The team showed great improvement over early season performance and was pointing for the final game with the still undefeated Golden Tornadoes. The officials of the league picked an all-star team from the three Selma teams to tackle the Torrents in a game to be played on the Orrville field the following week. The home team was the underdog, but they scrapped the Selma team off their feet and defeated them 6-O. Bo Davis, star performer, was injured the previous week and did not play. The next week the Torrents suffered another crippling blow. Billy Childres, captain and outstanding field general, was laid low by an attack of appendicitis. The Torrents, minus the services of these two star performers,met the Golden Tornadoes for the championship and lost to them 25-O. This was their first loss in two years. An All-star Team was picked from the three other teams to tackle the champions in a night game at Rowell Field. Five Orrville boys were placed on the squad--John Sherrer, Bobby Harrison, Tom Moore, Glenn Anderson, and Cecil Moore received this honor. Billy Childres received the most valuable player award, which is awarded each year to the outstanding player in the league. The award was presented to him at the annual Pee Wee Banquet at which time all members of the Orrville squad received a football letter. Boys who made up this fine squad were: Gantt, Davis, Andrews, T. Moore, B, Moore, Crawford, Singleton, Harrison, Bobby Childres, Billy Childres, C. Moore, S. Anderson, G. Anderson, Sherrer, Shadix, Massey, Molette, Dunning, Reynolds, and Hblladay. WEST JETER Forward Guard TE M The Orrville Blue Torrents enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in many years by winning 20 games while losing only S. The Tor- rents finished the season by losing a hard fought game to an underdog Maplesville team in the quarter finals of the Third District Tourna- ment. The Torrents were the fourth seeded team in this meet. They fought hard the entire sea- son, but were crippled by injuries and illness to key players throughout the year. The starting five was revised and changed many times, causing the team to work constantly under a handicap. During the season twelve men started,at one time or another, on the A team. Mayton, Jeter, Pat- terson, West, P.Knight, E. Meredith, Frasier, S. Meredith, Pegues, Geeslin, J.Knight, and Bridges were starting performers. The largest margin by which the Torrents lost a game was three points. Two of their losses were by one point margins, two by two points, and one by three points. The team ran up a fine offensive record by dropping 1051 points through the hoops for an average of b2 points per game. The individual scoring lead was captured by Patterson, who was followed by Jeter, West, and E. Meredith. The defense was also outstanding. The opponents shot only 53h points for an average of 21 points per game. Pe- gues, E. Meredith, Jeter, and Mayton, seniors, will be the only members of the squad who will not be vack for another year. West, Frasier, P. Knight, J. Knight, Patterson, S. Meredith, Brid- ges, Oliver, Geeslin. Davis. Childres. Warren, Edwards, Lindsay, Lauderbaclc, McGhee, Walker,and P. Pegues will return for another season.

OLIVER Guard 1' 60 KNIGHT Center GIRLS BASKETB LL A The Orrville High girls' basketball team proved to everyone their command of this district by breezing through to an undefeated season. The girls captured nine games and were never in danger of having their string broken as they outscrapped and out classed all their opponents. With beautiful new uniforms and one of the largest squads ever to turn out, the team proved itself one of the out- standing teams in the school's history. The offense of the team was dangerous at all times with such crack shots as Miley, Edwards, West, Parker, Dunning, and Taylor. The defense was exceptionally good with veteran guards--Davis, Reynolds, Mayton, and Boggs--and newcomers--Marshall, Crocker, and Mol- lette--holding opponents to low scores consistently. The team will lose only two members by the graduation route. Captain Edwards, star forward, and Mayton, scrapping guard, will be missed. With eleven experienced veterans returning, Coach Childres will have a fine nucleus around which to build his 'L48 team.

PATTERSON The first practice of the 19117 Orrville Blue Torrents baseball team was held March 31st porting to Coach Scarborough were 10 lettemen from the 'LL6 team, 2 ex-service men who lettered in 'h5, and several promising rookies. The Blue Torrents will be a member of the Eastern Blackbelt League as in previous years, and should be very much in the running for honors this year unless some unforeseen dark horse comes into the picture. The squad will have a letterman at practically every position on opening day un- less some of the crop of rookies push veterans from the lineup. Behind the plate the Torrents will have G. Bridges, veteran catcher. Bridges, who has a strong arm and is a hard hitter, will proba- bly cop the catching berth, with Oliver and Lindsay as capable reserves. In addition, Oliver will perform in the outfield when not behind the bat. The pitching staff will be exceptionally strong with fireball pitchers, Mayton and Meredith, and curveball artists, Roy West and Wilson, ready to take their turns on the rubber. All of these twirlers have pitched for the Torrents at least two years, with the exception of West, who joined the hurling staff the past season. Wilson will be tossing them up for the fourth year and Mayton will be starting his third campaign. The fight for the first base position shapes up as a real battle with four promising candidates fighting for the opening assignment. Pegues, who held dovm the sack in 'h63Patterson, regular in 'LLS3 Knight, star American Legion performer, and E. Meredith, new-comer, will scrap it out. The keystone duties will most probably be held down by Wilson and West when they are not working on the mound. These boys have both played the position previously. Jeter, regular shortst op for the past three years, will probably complete the keystone combi- nation. On third base will be H. Miller, outstanding perfonuer in 'h6. Backing up these two on the right side of the infield will be rookies---Frasier, McGhee, and N. Miller. Two regular 'ho outfielders will not be in the fold, but there will be several boys scrapping it out for these va- cated positions. Oliver, Rush, Parrott, Pegues, Meredith, liayton, Long, F. Patterson, and sever- al others will hold dovm the three fly chasing positions. With the best material in years the Blue Torrents are expecting a successful season under the direction of Coach Scarborough. The squad has new uniforms and will be one of the flashiest teams in the league.
