Membership is based on Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service, with twice as much emphasis placed on Scholarship as the other three. The Society started the year with election of officers: Jo Ann Chandler, President, Mabel Shuptrine, Vice-President, Tommie Jean Peacock, Secretary, Hazel Wilkinson, Treasurer, Ann Risher, Chaplain, Lynn Palmer, Parliamentarian, and Hanna Berger, Reporter. Proiects included a very successful book sale, ribbon pinning of honor role students, two impressive tappings, and the gift of a dictionary stand to an English classroom. For the first time an honorary member, Ulla Bengtsson, was admitted. The Honor Society presented her with the '59 class ring, A sizeable gift of Sl75 was given to the school for the purchase of new teaching equipment. The '59 National Honor Society closed the year with the distinction of being the first to wear gold tassels on their caps at graduation.

She also helped chose The University of Alabama Corolla Beauties. We think our eight beauties are more proof of her excellence in this field. We wish to thank her and give these eight young ladies a well deserved hand. For the first time this year, the class chose from these eight lovely girls the top beauty and her alternate.

Page 153 DAROLD DUNLAVY Poet CLASS POEM We, the class of fifty-nine, Approach graduation as onward we climb, We've mixed our work and play, And hope from our duties we did not stray. We'll bid adieu to friends and teachers, And close high school books for more advanced tea Our high school days have passed by so fast, And now we leave those experiences in the past. This, our final year at Parrish High, Was marked by the first satellite to enter the sky. Our fine new gym was first put to use, And the return of the sack dress really cut loose. We shall never forget Ulla, the exchange student fr o Who enlightened our school year like a shining star. Of our many memories these are just a few, That in the future, we could but hope to renew. We aim to leave footprints of good repute, For all those lett to follow suit, And as we leave our Parrish High, We predict her colors will always fly.

There must have been some magic in that sleeping pill of mine, 'Cause I foresaw the future of the Class of '59: The city of Selma had many a fault, But each one has been corrected by Mayor Ed Galt. Margaret Culver, pert and pretty, Is a movie producer in Culver City. Miss Stella Smith is no longer a Miss. She's a Mrs. enjoying marital bliss. Carolyn Piper has realized her dream.

Page l55 JO ANN CHANDLER Historian HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF l959 It has been said that History is but a page. Therefore, let us turn back and read the page of history written by the class of l959. In the first paragraph, we find the account of our entrance into Parrish High School. Under the leader- ship of the sophomore class officers, Rufus Craig, Gerry Purvis, and Bobbie Hill, we ventured to find our place in the new world of which we were seem- ingly a small and insignificant part. Jo Ann Chand- ler received the National Honor Society Sophomore Award. We soon faced the fact that our class would be responsible for a Junior-Senior Prom, so we pushed off to an early start by sponsoring ci movie as our first money-making proiect. Lynn Palmer, Hazel Wilkinson, and Patricia Allen, President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Junior Class, respectively, were instrumental in writing the second paragraph of our history. They faced the serious task of having the best Junior- Senior Prom ever given at Parrish High. After we had carried out many proiects and spent much effort, the time for the prom came. We used the theme of Sayonara and it was carried out elaborately. The prom proved to be all that the aspiring class had hoped for. Scanning the third paragraph of our page, we read of the endeavors of a wiser, more serious group which is now approaching its end as a class. The Senior year of the class of '59 was filled with events which marked a milestone in a history of Parrish High School and Selma. The dream of having a foreign student, selected by the American Field Serv- ice, was realized by the presence of Ulla Bengtsson from Sweden. Only one other school in Alabama could claim this distinction, and the Student Council, under the leadership of Ed Galt, felt proud that it had been a dominant force in this endeavor. Mabel Shuptrine brought honor to our class and school by being selected Selma, and later State, D. A. R. Good Citizenship Girl. George Voltz, Troup Brazel- Ton, and Eloise Meadows, as Senior Class officers spurred our class on to surpass our goal of 59,000 of the magazine sale to an unprecedented SlO,398.05. We have now reached the end of our history as ci class at Parrish High School, but this will be only the preface to the pages that we, as individuals, are yet to write. Page 156 LYNN PALMER, PATRICIA ALLEN Musicians TO PA.RRlSH HIGH Parrish High, we'll not forget her In the years that lie ahead. From the tirst day that we met her, Oh what wonderful lives we've led. The football games cmd dances, The serious romances, The studies that kept us awake till dawn, And the friendships that we've made Though we hope they'lI naver fade We will miss them when we've gone. So a toast to the past, a toast to the future And let there be no sorrow. For remember when the sun goes down It returns with a bright tomorrow. page l57 l DICK MORTHLAND Lawyer CLASS State of Alabama County of Dallas We, the Class of 1959, Albert G.
