Sometimes I 'Ond0reoesoeessoeee 1mI'OpllQCy N ik' i V lf January 12, 1958 Dearest Ada Gene, You can't imagine how thrilled I was to hear from you. I haven't been keeping up with our class of '48, and I was so glad to have news about them. It really made me homesick to see them again. I can't imagine Mae's having a better job than that of a minister's wife. I'm sure she makes a good housekeeper, and that she and Rev. Joseph Martin are happy. When do you finish your series of lectures on Religion and Education? I was so surprised to see in the paper last week that you were speaking in Dallas, Tex- as. Does your husband travel with you? I saw M. C. Patterson in Selma one day last week. He works in a Sporting Goods Store there and from his conversation, I think he likes it. He told me that Roy West is working in Birmingham. He didn't know exactly what kind of work he is doing, but he did know that Roy is married. You remember Nell Maytong she's the lucky woman. I read an article in the paper not so long ago about Malena Herod's Art Exhi- bit to be shown in Montgomery, January 28th and 29th. I am planning to see it and to talk with Malena if I have a chance. I had a letter from Carolyn Miley yesterday. She is secretary for the presi- dent of M ere and Green Electric Company in Atlanta. She plans to come home for a few days in February. She writes that she sees Virginia Tippett frequently and that she is getting married the 24th of January. I've forgotten her fiance's nsnun but he is leader of a concert band in Atlanta. Hazel Boggs Montgomery dropped by for a few minutes when she was home for the Christmas holidays. She has been married for three years and is sincerely happy. She mentioned seeing Kent Lauderback in Mobile a few months ago and told me that he is working for the Southern Bell Telephone Company there. He recently invent- ed a wireless telephone to cut out so much 'junk, as he called it, around 'the telephone office and the house. Howell Geeslin works in Birmingham with the Johnson Wholesale Corporation. Hb hopes to come home for a vacation in a few weeks. I hope to have a chance for talking with him. They tell me he is a busy man nowadays. Lula Mae Lester and her husband are still living here. I see her very often. They are planning to move to Selma where Charles works, but as yet they have been unable to find a house there. Sammie Lewis and Stanhope Frasier came by the house New Year's Eve and had supper with us.. They are both working for Delta Airlines in Montgomery. Stanhope blushingly revealed the plans of his marriage to Carolyn Miley some time soon. Sammie, as he expressed it, hasn't become a sucker yet, but he wasn't fooling me. He has ideas, and I know it. While here, Sam ie showed me a clipping from a New York paper about Johnny Meredith. He has signed up with the Boston Red Sox to play baseball this coming season. Clyde Hicks owns a fruit store in Selma. He lives there now, and seems to have a wgnderful time. There are plenty of single girls there and you know Clyde. ike McGhee is editor of Life Ma aaine. After his ex erien S and Orr-Bit staffs, he d1dn't need Such training. He ispmarrigg Zgdtggs go3gn?ht That's all the news about the class, I believe. I wish we could have a class reunion some time soon. Iet's think about it seriously and see what we can do.It would be so nice to get all of us together once more. When you come home again, I want you to visit me and meet my family. Write me again when you can. I always appreciate your letters. Sincerely yours, I N QX H fuss gfzstory .-Q Q A- A '9 ' 'S 9fwL'w, Sf' fig' X kil- 14 N- J if A, Time marches on! Each year brings a new class, and each hour brings new experi- ences for the Class of '48. With pride and satisfaction we turn back the pages of time to refresh our memories. Let us begin at the beginning. One bright September morning we, the Class of '48, started our Freshman year. We felt as if we were ready to go and knew about all there was to be known. Numer- ically small, we felt equal to any task. On that memorable day the following stu- dents were enrolled: Randy Davis, Carolyn Miley, Mae Williams, Malena Herod, Ada Gene Moore, Dorna Jean Lumley, Virginia Roberts, Betty Harwell, Lula Bae Crocker, Sammie Lewis, Stanhope Frasier, Roy West, Raymond West, R. C. Johnston, Earl Book- er, Kent Lauderback, Desmond Bridges, and Leroy McGhee. What we lacked in numbers we supplemented in noise. Before the year was out,Kent Lauderback left usg and Earl Booker, seeking wider fields and larger schools, enrolled in Selma. Desmond Bridges thought that he'd get along with Uncle Sam's Naval Officers better than with 0rrville's teachers, so he joined the Navy. Our delight was unbounded and we swelled with pride when Betty Harwell,our rep- resentative, was crowned Queen of the Hallowe'en Carnival. We gained confidence at this first step toward the achievement of fame. Our Sophomore year brought changes. Betty Harwell moved to Selma and,of course, entered Parrish High. During the summer Virginia Roberts decided that matrimony would be more interesting than this dull school. So she was lost to us! June Bennett came to us from Demopolis. June had heard of Orrville School and its friendly atmosphereg so she, like many others, was attracted to it. Bbwell Geeslin, a bright, young lad from Holt High School, also Joined our ranks. Large schools will draw a crowd! Raymond West, much to our surprise, marriedg he didn't leave school at this time however. R. C. Johnston left us during the year to find more exciting fields! Ada Gene Moore was sponsor for Orrville at the Selma Horse Show and also our candidate for Queen of the Hal1owe'en Carnival. The Beta Club elected four of our members--Mae Williams, Randy Davis Lula Mae Crocker, and Leroy McGhee. We felt proud of so large a representation from so small a class. Our joy was indeed great the next year when two others, Ada Gene Moore and Johnny Meredith, were also elected and received into this organization. Ou Junior year brought several changes in our ranks. We hated to lose June Bennett, Raymond West, and Dorna Jean Lumley. June's family moved away and she en- tered Demopolis High School. Raymond West left us at the end of the football sea- son when family ties claimed his attention. Dorna Jean left us in tears because her family moved to Uniontown. But we were has measure compensated for their losa Johnny Meredith, after being discharged from the Army with a fine record, came to us at mid-termg and Clyde Hicks, a former Orrville student, whom we all knew and liked, transferred from Camden back to Orrville. Carolyn Miley was our class candidate for Queen of the Hallowe'en Carnival, and Roy West was candidate for King. This was our first time to elect a King. We chose to enter new fields of endeavor this year, Randy Davis and Lula Mae Crocker entered the Stallworth Oratorical Contest both of them having done outstanding work of this nature at the Mother-Daughter-Rather-Son Banquet given in the spring. I2 The Junior-Senior Banquet will live long in our memories. We entertained at Perrin's Dinner Club in grand style. Lula Mae Crocker was hostess. If the seniors enjoyed it half so much as we, everyone had the time of his life. Finally came our Senior year---that climax of our plans, efforts, and dreams! We were in high spirits, welcoming Virginia Tippett back from North Fulton High School in Atlanta, Georgia. Virginia had been with us in grammar school, and was much at home. She represented our school at the Selma Horse Show, and was class candidate for Queen of the Hallowe'en Carnival, with Stanhope Frasier as candidate for Kinge M. C. Patterson, another veteran of World War II, joined us temporarily. He graduated at mid-term, having gained several credits by his Army service. H. C. adds to the life of any group, so we enjoyed his short stay with us. After earning extra credits at Parrish High School by summer school work, Hazel Boggs and Kent Lauderback came to us from the tenth grade here. Hazel had already gained fame in oratory. She represented our school in the District B1rmingham-Sou- thorn Oratorical Contest last year, and later won the local Stallworth Contest. Kent had been with us in our Freshman year, and we welcomed him back to the fold, remembering his good nature and cooperative spirit. Lula Mae Crocker came back to us as Lula lae Lester, having married during the summer vacation. She reigned as Queen of the Future Homemakers of America during the week set aside for National Future Homemakers of America Week. This was the first time the nation had observed this occasion. The Class of '48 went over the top in the Curtis Publishing Magazine sale, mak- ing the best record the school had had in several years. The goal of five hundred dollars was exceeded by twenty-five percent. We also made our mark in the world of sports! Stanhope Frasier was captain of the football team and Roy West captain of the basketball team. Johnny Meredith, M. C. Patterson, Sammie Lewis, Leroy McGhee, Howell Geeslin, and Kent Lauderback covered themselves with glory on the gridiron. They get our vote for All-State honors. Now as we come to the end of our journey, we look backward with an occasional sigh for wasted hours that might have been used to equip us better for the years ahead. Then we turn eagerly toward a future bright with promise. And as we pledge ourselves to make the most of that future, we resolve to cherish always the ties of friendship that have held us close. cmss HISTORIAN .ffdg frry v - .45 y' 'lt 1,0 e 13 ass UZ!! fi. 1 ' - e '63 6 Z nf! Q , We, the Senior Class of 1948, town of Orrville, County of Dallas, and State of Alabama, being of sound mind and knowing that Orrville School, by our graduation, will be deprived of its most attractive, intelligent, and efficient students, and seeking to make restitution for this loss, do make,publ1sh,and declare this to be our last will and testament, in the manner following, that is to say: ITEM I: We, the Senior Class, do hereby will to Mr. Childres all our knowledge of politics, conveyed to him through sociology class discussions, to be used to the best advantage in the support of the democratic candidate in the '48 Presidential election. ITEM II: We, the Senior Class, give and bequeath to the entire faculty our deep- est appreciation. You have guided us most dexterously, and now you have your re- ward, the Class of '481 ITEM III: The Senior Class as a unit leaves to Mrs. Oliver the ability to keep the halls clear, supervise the work on the Orr-Bit, listen to speeches for the orator- ical contest, give typing tests, and twirl her glasses at the same time. To the Senior Class of '49 we leave a suggestion! Just don't think about it, kids, if you want to keep your sanity. ITEM IV: We individually and specifically dispose of the following personal pos- sessions: I, Lula Mae Lester,leave my ability to get a man and keep him to Janet Cope- land. I, Randy Davis, will my ability never to say a word and yet know all the an- swers to Marion Massey. Fr 1 do h b be ueath height to Nick Lindsay in the gopittggtphe cans gzpress :rIiitleqblonde :ith it as much as I did a certain brunette in the Class of '48. I, Leroy McGhee, leave my refusal to smile when having a picture taken to Ralph Walker. It's a serious business, Ralph! I, Mae Williams, leave m bottle of Griffin ABC shoe polish to Virginia Fa- rish. Keep those saddle oxfords clean, gal! I, Virginia Tippett,leave my ability to flirt, to no avail, with everybody's boy-friend for the exclusive use of Marie Parrott. I, Roy West, will all my candy recipes to Morgan Edwards. Hereafter you will not have to ask Leah to make your divinity. I, Clyde Hicks, leave my intellectual curiosity and habitual tinkering with the typewriters to Sollie Oliver. Keep them in good shape, boy! I, Carolyn Kiley, do hereby will my ability to win the admiration of the football captain to Mary Taylor. Glover, beware! I4 I, Hazel Boggs, wish to leave my ability to supervise and manage any type of activity to Carolyn West. Leadership is really a fine characteristic. I, Kent Lauderback, leave my whiskers, muscular biceps, and deep voice to E. P. Massey so that he can bluff his football opponents. I, Johnny Meredith, will my love for 'Barbecue Heaven' and appreciation for beautiful girls to Billy Childres. I trust you will carry on my football fame and preserve for Orrville School my nickname, 'Loaded Dynam1te.' I, Ada Gene Moore, will my long hair and height to Jean Ellen Jewell. May you always use them to the best advantage. I, Malena Herod, leave my ngigglesn to Dolores Stone. The fits are such fun and you don't even have fever with them. I, I. C. Patterson,leave my magic words that bring forth marshmallows to Pat Knight. 'Them things and 'Aye, George' shore help ya play heroic footbal1.' I, Howell Geeslin, will my false tooth to any player who loses one during the '48 grid season. I, Sam ie Lewis, leave my green eyes and loud shirts to John Sherrer. They really please the women, John. Signed, sealed, and delivered in the presence of witnesses, on this, the 15th day of lay, 1948. CLASS LAWYER WITNESSES: . . - .

The following boys reported for practice: Pat Knight, Sollie Oliver, Pete Pegues, M.C. Pat- terson, Stanhope Frasier, Glover Bridges, Sammie Lewis, Billy Childres, Bo Davis, Feg Patterson, Johnnie Meredith, Robert DeWitt, Joe Knight, How- ell Geeslin, E.P. Massey, Tom Moore, Cecil Moore, Kent Lauderback, Desmond Bridges, J. C. Bridges, Ralph Walker, Bobby Harrison, John Sherrer, and Harvey Lauderback. The squad was in excellent physical condition when we began practice, and we were spared much of the strenuous running that we received the preceding year. Most of us had worked and kept ourselves physically fit during vacation. During the last week of August many of the boys came to the school athletic field for unsupervised foot- ball practice. Coach John Scarborough was with us again. He commended us for our fine spirit and will-to-win. He believes, and has taught us to believe, that winning or losing the game is not all there is to football. The sportsmanship learned on the ath- letic field at Orrville High School this year will go with us throughout our lives. We appre- ciate the work of Coach Scarborough and we shall try always to make him proud of us. , ' gg K 6-1- 15 ,Q 1' Q5 286 p , Erma WM4m.fNs,, S Egg if ,NP-15 Jigmzgzgggnaa M, A M' 58 FGOTBALL Top rowqleft to rightjg P.Kn1ght, oliver, Pogues, M.C. pstterso , Frasier, G.

Mike McGhee The 1947 Orrville football squad was composed of twenty-seven of the finest boys to work with imaginable. This unusual group of athletes had an incomparably fine mental attitude and mixed this evenly with a terrific will to win. such qualities won the boys a tremendous following of loyal fans and the highest respect of the oppos1tion....How do they do it? what makes them so tough? Where is orrville? what is the secret?.....These were only a few of the many questions of observers and followers concerning the team. It is felt that one group of individuals deserve especial plaudlts in connection with their efforts in behalf of the squad.. Th6 senior members....These boys pictured above, and their buddies on the next page, leave places that coming youngsters will find very hard to f11l..Maybe not from the standpoint of being football stars altogether...but being the kind of individuals that everyone connected with the team was very proud. Their conduct on the prac- tice field and their game time performances was a source of inspi- ration to all the younger boys in school. We must never forget that there is much more to athletics than winning or losing. The world is in dire need of young men with a working know- ledge of right and wrong...These seniors have made a good start in this direction. May I say that it was a genuine pleasure to be associated with you during the 1947 football season2Z7f7 5' Johnnie Meredith i Sammie LewiS Kent Lauderback Desmond Bridges ni f ,Q Q Howell G99S1iU M.

These boys did splendid work with Franklin Gantt as captain and Bobby Childres as co-captain. With five victories and one tie, these Junior Blue Torrents romped throuph the entire sea- son to capture the district title. Not until a post-sea- son game with a snappy All-Star team from Selma did they taste defeat.

The Blue Torrents were seeded second place in the Third District Tournament. In rapid succession they defeated Vergena, Loretta, and Greensboro. This assured them a place in the finals and also a place in the State Tournament at Tuscaloosa--the first time an Orrville Basketball team had won this dis- tinction. In the hard fought finals the Torrents lost to a classy Perry County team, SO to 20. Coach Scarborough and the boys are to be congratulated upon their splendid work. 67 Q! 99 1rlE nvq The Orrville Blue Torrent B team finished the season with a record of thirteen wins and five losses. The team consisted of the following boys: Eugent Oli- ver, Glova Bridges, Mike McGhee, Sammie Lewis, Nick Lindsay, Billy Childres, Cecil Moore, Feg Patterson, Morgan Edwards, Robert DeWitt, Max Andrews, and E. P. Massey. These boys have worked hard and enjoyed the season. Nick Lindsay broke a foot late in the season and was unable to play in the last few games. Oliver, Bridges, Mc Ghee, and Patterson played in the district tourna- ment with the A team. 68 THE SENICR PL Y 5 ik WHEN SALLY COMES TO TOWN h N u se 0 Ala CAST OF CHARACTERS Uncle Joshua Perkins Sammie Lewis from Strawberry Center Sally Simple Hazel Boggs - his niece known as nSisn Mrs. Ethyl Parker Randy Davis his sister in New York society Loring Parker Howell Geeslin her son Esther Parker Carolyn Miley her daughter Ruth Mae Williams the maid Felicia Winston Ada Gene Moore Loring's fiancee Theresa Holbrook Malena Herod who is always hungry Birdie La Rouge Lula Mae Lester a chorus girl Lord Cecil Ralelgh Kent Lauderback Esther's fiance Lance Wellington Leroy McGhee a young business man Stage Manager Clyde Hicks Property Manager Stanhope Frasier Ass't Director Roy West Director Mrs. Oliver .Z 69 mi?
