This year, the Tatler Staff has done a grand job of putting out some of the best Tatlers in the history of the school magazine. Every Tatler was out on time. During the first' semester Mrs. Jackson, as spon- sor ofthe staff, gave her time and support to make the Tatler what it was. It was a blow to the staff when Mrs. Jackson resigned. For awhile it looked as if they were going to have to carry on alone. Then Mrs. Seay, taking the place of Mrs. Jackson as the commercial teacher, became the new Tatler sponsor. Although the job was completely new, Mrs. Seay, with the help and co-operation of the staff, was soon a seasoned veteran. And the second semester's magazines were as good as the first semes- ter. Nothing could have been accomplished without the fine leadership of Wilda Slaughter, Editor-in- Chief, who was also chosen Good Citizenship Girl.

The Junior Red Cross has been on its toes this year in the many phases of work typical of this organ- ization. Both local and foreign protects were chosen to be worked on. The filling of the educational gift box- es and a special Christmas drive were the projects which carried out these different phases of work. The yearly Junior Red Cross enrollment began with a bang, followed by various campaigns of equal importance. These were successfully completed with the aid of the representatives from each home- room. Something new was added this year, when, instead of picking the usual Christmas gift boxes, the re- presentatives voted to make donations of money which was to be used by the Welfare Department in supplying the needy families with proper food, clothing, and medicine. The Junior Red Cross is a definite working part of our school. The officers are: President-Mary Dawson, Vice-President-Leland Gipson, Secretary-Treasurer-Bet tye Ralston, Committee Chairman-Alice Spivey. The sponsor for this organization is Mrs. C. L. Gaut.

The cheerleaders play a very important part in our school life during the football season. Every Friday afternoon they are down at the gym, leading the Pep Meeting and getting everyone in high spirits for the game that night. Then, of course, they are always on hand Friday night, cheering the team and so helping them to play a good game. We feel that the cheerleaders this year were unusually good and that they helped make our football season a more enjoyable and successful one, Page 68 ,- GOLF TEAM: Left to Right: Capt.

Up comes George Tate who is now the owner of Swif't s Because he stayed at Swift's so much they gave it as a gift. He tells of some successes that came out of our graduating class, Such as Bill Herrod, the Farmer, who's invented a new kind of grass. And Caldwell Debardeleben, who's known as the Baseball King, With Bill Mott, his manager, who teaches players how to swing. Dr. Westly Huett is the best vet in all the United States. With Peggy Burrel as his nurse he collects very high rates. Melwyn Miller married David, and now she knits all the time, While James Friday is a track star and boy! does he shine. The bakery of Danna Lou Williams makes the best tasting cakes, And Billie Persons spends his time shooting ducks at his private lake While George and I are chatting, in comes Robert Ricks. He's mayor now and his platform was For kids don't use the stick. He says that Virginia Hardy, his secretary, is an absolute dream, And with Thomas Monk, his body guard, they make a perfect team. The first thing Robert did in office was to have a new bridge built. Walter Ross Jackson, the engineer built it while standing on stilts. Page II9 Frank Ikerman and Elsie Hefner are now man and wife. They are traveling over the states in a trailer and really enjoying life. Robert received a card from them while they were in Kentucky. They saw Edward Atchison, the jockey, win on a horse called Lucky. Lucky belongs to Margaret Ann Warren, and with him she's made a billion: While Earle Childers, Lucky's trainer, now has a mighty million. Mayor Ricks leaves the store as George tries to sell some cream And I amble over to the newsstand to look at a magazine. Lo and behold! Wilda Slaughter's the editor and it's called The Woman's Life. Mary Sue Calhoun's picture is on the front as a New York socialite. One page shows Patsy Seymour, first woman president of the United States, Who loves to listen to the music of Billy Lindsay and his Music Mates. Mary Lee Hayes' exclusive dress shop is quite the latest fad, Elinor Peeke models her specialities which are hips with many pads. Pat Thompson, now Mrs. Barber, is captain at Fritz's yacht While the tennis player who's won all the cups is none other than Sara Lott. Miriam Pace is in New York singing in the opera Carmen, And Jean Williams was made famous by her novel Kitty Wren. Marion Hughes is the proud owner of a fabulous Florist Shop. Her best client is America's No. l bachelor namely Bobby Lott. Mary Woods, the famous photographer, takes pictures of exciting scenes, Her picture of aviatrix Dorothy Nelson is the best in the magazine. Swift's has become quite crowded with many classmates l know- There's John Garrison, the big shot, who owns all the picture shows. Myrtle Hayes, now a Hester, is buying ice cream for her kiddies three And Hugh Weir, the cute little soda ierk is kept busy as can be. Clarence Chester, traveling commentator, is lust back from an overseas trip He traveled with James Hooker who was a sailor on the ship. While in Paris he met Billie Pearson, whose shop is called Billie's, And Carolyn Rush models his originals for the women of Parii. .Iohn Stone had a side walk cafe in a little French town, Where Barbara Yarbrough has the cutest pet shop you could have found. Dr. John G. Johnston lll is practicing psychiatry in Berlin Where Joe Smitherman owns the snazziest club you have ever been in. Jane Atchison is his dancer and keeps his mind off the wine While Joe Miller, his bouncer, makes everyone act fine. Betty Ralston is his Blues Singer and keeps all the men agog, While Tootie Taylor acts as bartender and serves delicious eggnogs. Betty Ann Hudgens is a Missionary in the wilcls of Tibet Where Coleman Wilkinson, big game hunter, shoots all kinds of rabbits. Bobby Hicks was the pilot of the plane that brought Chester back And Dorothy Strickland was the stewardess that kept everything intact. There's Jane Ware Smyly buying funny books for her little boy While Jean O'Brien, now Mrs. Hughes, buys her little girl a toy. Dr. Dewitt Clark, the well-known dentist, comes in to pay his bill And converses with Cecil Rhodes, constructor of the new Kenan's Mill. The Mill is now a teashop with the very same name. Ann Brice is owner and manager and it is of wide spread fame. There's Minnie Ruth Huffman and Mary Frances Pearson, who are full fledged house wives now. They buy all their milk from Lewis Persons, who has invented a new kind of cow. Page l2O Russell Burson, Alabama Senator, who knows all for miles around has lust come in he'll tell us the gossip of the town. It seems that Omie Jean Clibrey's Hat Shop is quite the local rage And the most popular piece in the paper is Larry Stripland's sports page. Red often writes about Sam Morgan, golfing champion in the United States, And Rocky Ryan, professional baseball player, who plays for very high stakes. Betty Harwell was the first woman explorer to find a real dinosaur And Janie Baker told the story on her program called The news of the Hour. Howard Twilley is now the owner of the American Bus lines. He competes with James Fitts, Jr., who owns the United Airlines. Fred Friday and Ann Powell live in the country on a darling little farm, And Rucker Staggers is the country doctor that keeps everyone from harm. Mary Dawson is the camp counselor who directs all the games While Elizabeth McCory, wife of Freddie, cures all of his aches and pains. Charles McKinney runs a meat market and his fish are the best in the state And owner of the exclusive Beauty Shop is our own Elizabeth Bates. As Russell leaves Swift's, the Selma Times Journal catches my eye. Frank Donald's brilliant editorials make other editors sigh. Alan Barton made the headlines as 2nd, kissing governor of the state. His worthy campaign manager, Lloyd Denson, makes all his social dates. Mary Katherine Garrett has written a play called The Widow's Shroud. Lillian Jones, the magnificent star, has Broadway in the clouds. Barbara Boyne, the millionaire adventuress, has lost a diamond choker. And the criminal detective, Paul Radford, thinks it's the thief called The Joker. For his part in the picture, The Wolf, Paul Foxworth won an Oscar, And T. O. McDowell won one too for being the best movie director. President of the United Nations, Ernest Johnson, is having trouble keeping peace, While Congressman Louis Reynolds, makes a survey in Greece. Henry Paulsen, the diamond king, financed the first trip to the moon, Made by Estelle Rountree, the great woman scientist, last June. Dr. Vernon Copeland, the dentist, invented a toothbrush called Everstiff, The picture of Grace Ansley using it is guaranteed to give you a lift. From Radio City, Bill Powers' little place, we hear his broadcast coming He tells about Billy Busby's gymnasium where all the men build up brawn. Donald Fore is a forest ranger in the woods of the Virginia mountains, Where Edward Earle Booker, the weatherman, often predicts rain. Mary Sample's ranch in Texas is a lively place to go, Brooks Gandy provides entertainment by riding the broncos. Barbara Logan Casey has so many cars she doesn't know what to do, While composer Tommy Johnson writes popular songs and classics too. Sara Jane Bates' Candy Stores are better known than Mary Ball's, 'Cause Barbara Hestle dresses the windows, which delight one and all. The distinguished Prime Minister of Canada is now Vance Katzenstein, And Marshall Williams, principal of Albert G. Parrish, keeps everyone in line.

Page 121 CLASS lll 'l'llliY ESTELLE ROUNTREE Class Historian You may not believe it, but the new care-worn, worldly-wise Seniors of '48 at one time had quite a different aspect on life. About twelve years ago these same people were happy-go-lucky in- nocents, entering school for the first time. Little did we know at that date the trials, triumphs, tears, and smiles that were to ensue during the next dozen years. For six years we worked and played lmostly the latterl in grammar school. Pearl Harbor and Defense stamps will always be linked with our grade-schools days. Shall we ever forget the exciting marble games, the mid-morning lunches, and trips to the iail iiust visitingl? Yes, throughout our lives there will be a soft spot in our hearts for the first school we ever attended--grammar school. As we entered the seventh grade we were beginning to realize that life was not lust a bowl of cherries, however, we were learning to take the bitter with the sweet. In Junior High our specialty seemed to be running the teachers wild. The fact that we got to be very good at it can be seen by noticing the number of teachers who resigned the year we left. In the eighth grade we showed our initiative and iournalistic abilities by beginning a school newspaper, The Snooper, which is still in publication. Feeling that we had lingered long enough in one school, we reached out for wider horizons and Parrish High. There is no way to describe the exalted feeling we had when we realized that we Page 122 were in Senior High at last. Neither is there a way to picture the humility we felt in The presence of Seniors. The only truly great feat that is worth mentioning concerning our early years at Parrish High is that we managed in various ways to pass second year algebra. As Juniors we began to attain a sense of importance that we had not felt before. We ordered our rings. We entertained the Seniors with a Junior-Senior prom--the first that had ever been given at PHS. Then came our Senior year, the culmination of our many years of school, with the Senior pri vileges - though unwritten, observed, the numerous parties, and a strange sadness at leaving old familiar things behind. As we near the end of our school days, we realize that what seemed to be the chief end of existence, graduation, is really only a beginning--that the twelve long years of school are only a preparation for the bigger and better things in the future. Estelle Rou ntree, Historian Page 123 CLASS PllllM lt's hard for us to realize That the long awaited day For which we've striven these twelve long years It just a breath away. For now that time is running out, Though dignity prevails, Our hearts begin to ache And our courage starts to fail. To leave these halls and classmates We've learned to love so well ls a thought that makes us wonder It we're happy, as we tell. The paths of lite that we shall trod, The future, with its hopeful light, Are stretching out ahead And dawning brightly on our sight. And now in caps and gowns so solemn, With slow and hesitating feet, We leave these halls with memories That through the years stay sweet!
