Williamson MASS PIIIM We have traveled a long and upward path, Yet we are sadg we have come to the end Of our happy and carefree high schooldays. No longer on others we can depend. Each of us has worked very hard this year, But we have also had lots of fun. We've all done things that we shou1dn't have, But now our ract is finally run. We had anticipated this time with joy, But we shed tears at the thought of parting. Though we've learned a lot in the past years, The molding of our lives is just starting. We appreciate the guidance of parents and teachers Who have been so patient, loyal, and kind. Though we are sure we have troubled them so, While they were trying to direct our minds. We hope to make them proud of us later By putting to use the lessons we've learned. And when we have reached our destination, We'1l hear 'Rich reward-well earned. -Class Poet- Martha Alcorn 7 Q IO Martha Alcorn 'Men who kiss and tell are not half so bad as those who kiss and exaggerate.'

' The senior class of 1950 made its first venture into history making in the year 1938 when most of us were six years old and beginning our first year in school. Our first year in Parrish High School was a memorable one, for, although we were only twelve and in the seventh grade, we felt very big and important within our class-room, but outside this room we were merely seventy-one nervous and rather shy Jr. I's. Miss Key and Miss Richards were our home-room teachers and they helped us to fit in with the rest. We were more accustomed to high school life when we started off on our Junior II year . We centered our efforts mainly on the Homecoming parade, and as a result we walked off as first-place winners. The prize was one everyone should enjoy-a holiday from school for a class picnic with our sponsor, Mrs. Elbert Deason. The years passed swiftly as we grew older and before we knew lt we were completing our Junior III year. We were given more privileges this yearg it was the first year we were allowed to select a cheer-leader to represent our class at the football games. It was this same year that the Travel club was organized by Mrs. Gray, who was our home-room teacher that year. At the beginning of our Senior I year we welcome many new friends from Aldridge, Goodsprings, and Gorgas. We were rather shy of each other at first but we soon overcame this obstacle and be- came fast friends. We all had to work harder on our studies this year, but despite this we participated in school activities. We won second maid in the race for sponsor and escort. Our representatives were Lila Jean Glover and Bobby Murphree. Our Senior II year was one of hard work for us Seniors. We had to make money to give the Seniors a banquet and this was uppermost in our minds all year. We finally made the grade, however, and held our banquet in April of 'l+9. We worked diligently in an effort to win sponsor and escort for our class this year but the seniors won. We were runners-up with first maid and escort -Edith Glover and J. B. Thompson. Our float also won second place. We enter our Senior year with mingled-feelings or Joy and sorrow. We are glad because at last we are 'The Seniors' but we are also sorry because this is our last year to be together as a real part of Parrish High. Finally we won sponsor and escort for our class. Our represent- atives this year were Betty Piper and Donald Hallman. We also won first place with our Ncolonial girl' float. Our yearbook has occupied much of our time and thoughts, but it has also given us an opportunity to know each other better by work- ing together. Our school years have been like a ladder leading us higher on to each of our individual goals. Each teacher has always gladly given us a hand to steady us as we have reached for the next rung. They may not be there the next time we slip, but their guidance and under standing will be remembered always. It is with sad hearts that we withdraw our hands from theirs and continue up our ladder. -Nella Jean Byrd CLASS HISTORIAN 17 H M I U S S T I O C R I I A A N N HALLMAN BYRD KEY WILLIAMSON Sl IIIRS avi X353 P 69555 OE? 19 NEATEST W of I A L R L H I I A s M 0 S N o N CUTEST gi Q MOST POPULAR TV C R U M P KEY LAZIFST COURINGTON DEASON 20 y,. ll T E I W I XX a 1? . nl Lili ' Mosw couamzous FLIRTS BOYD LITTLETON MOST RELIABLE HANDLE!

And now I shall gaze into my crystal ball and reveal to you the fu- ture of the seniors of nineteen hundred and fifty. Now my magic crystal ball has started to work. It sets forth a scene on the familiar campus of the University. Rosie Handley is still visit- ing frequently with a hope each time that she can surely persuade Jim to take a trip over the border into Mississippi where marriage liscenses can be obtained more quickly. This scene is swiftly vanishing into a beautiful one created by Madame Nature. As I gaze into the crystal ball I see a beartiful roll- ing field centered on a mountain side. As I look further up the mount- ain side, I see a little weather beaten shack. Around this shack weeds are growing tall and chickens, hogs, and cows are running loose. Lowezy CNella Jean Byrdl is swinging her ax so that she can have B little kihdling wood to start a fire for Snuffy iElbert Deasonh who is over the hill filling up his jug with ncorn squeez1ngs.' Oh! Oh! Here's a tragic to be throwing pots and pans because her husband, Maurice to disagree with her. and yelling at the top of her voice And now as the whirling ceases my crystal ball reveals a busy boy, Bill Handley, trying very hard to sell enough newspapers to a marriage license. In bold head lines on the front page of the is printed: WSOMETHING NEW HAS JUST BEEN ADDED TO OUR SCIENTIFIC scene. Isn't it just like Betty Garrison just Littleton, finally got up enough courage news buy paper WORLD Lorene and Helen Odom, honored and famed chemist and physicist, have just completed an atomic experiment which has surpassed anything known in the world of Oppenheimer. Pete Boyd is an old bachelor mow, but he is still getting around. I see him now at his favorite haunt, the 78 Drive-In-Theatre with, a sweet little old lady, Bobbie Ruth Key. Well, it looks as if Effie Duette Crump has finally got her a man. I see her now waiting patiently at the Miss-Ala Bus Terminal in Jasper for hubby to get home from his last run. This must be leap year because the Magic crystal ball is now show- ing me a desperate scene. Alvera Thompson, who has always had an attrac tion must maid. for red heads, ls down on her knees sobbing: 'Please Grover, you marry me. This is my last chance. Next leap year I'll be an old I A quaint little cottage situated on the banks of Warrior River in Gorgas comes into view. In the yard six little children are playing and now mrs. Perry Akins Cformsrly Edith Glover! comes to the door to greet her husband, who has at last landed a Job. And now I see a famous college. Inside, the student counselor, Betty Ann Cannon is addressing the student body. She ggyg, 'The dean, Hr. Albert Davis, and I have decided to stop this necking on the cam- PuB,' when one of the students, Martha Alcorn, giggles. Miss Cannon 24 PIHIPHHZY continues. nwhat I really meant is the dean and I are going to stop all this kissing that's been going on under our noses.' Like a flash this vision disappears and there appears before me a Jewelry shop in Beat-Ten. There in the midst of all her diamonds is Eunice Thompson. Next door is a beauty shop where Tommie Handley takes great pride in dressing the Mayor's wife's hair, as she has on- ly a handful of her own left. As these shops fade from view, an organ grinder is seen. It is none other than Ted Jones, and there on the end of the chain is his little pet, Jim Key, holding wlstfully to his silver cup. Next I see a small white church in Possum Valley. As I look inside, I see nPreacherH Latham standing in the pulpit. In the choir stands the former Meta Lou Courington, how Mrs. Latham, singing, 'Sugar Blues'. Say, Meta Lou, remember you're in church. The scene is slowly changing. I hear the sound of great motors above the clouds. There in the cockpit sits none other than Clif- ford Harland, and the young lady aiding the passengers is the trim, young stewardess, Bettye Piper. The motor is missing! The plane is crashing, but do not be alarmed for there waiting to perform their duties are young Dr. Truman Brown and his competent nurse and wife, Valerla Cottrell. My crystal ball quickly clears and then I hear a great applause. As I look to see what it might be, I find Tommy Joe Argent perform- ing on the Grand Ole Oprey. As this great burst of applause subsides still another takes its place. This music of the circus comes near- er unti I see a high tent. As I look inside, I see the 'Fat Lady of 19690, Barbara Manasco, and her devoted husband, R.P. Williamson, now the tall man of the world. t t ill e r in my crystal ball? Impossible! Vola Mae Fllggz dgzlgnzng zggg Zuits, and who is the handsome lad on the plat- form? None other than Raymond Lockhart modeling the suits. And now I see three old maids whistling at every man they meet and giggling like every old maid does. But who are they? Why Yes, its Carolyn Deason, Dorothy Walden, and Nelda Jean Shannon. The scene is a local library. And the librarian sits at her desk calmly reading the latest 'Love Stories.' Ah! She looks up and it is Jimmie Nell Key. And now I see a domestic scene. Joyce McCllnton is throwing dishes at her husband while all her ten kids are hollering: 'Slap him down again Ma'. Now a haze appears to engulf my crystal ball and close out the future. But I trust all the seniors are happy to know what the Future holds for them. -Alice Thompson CLASS PHOPHET 25 liRllMBllR'S SPEECH We have a wonderful senior class this year. For instance our president, Elbert Deason, was voted laziest boy in the class. We don't have a most devoted couple this year, but it is no fault of Meta Courington and Duette Crumpg they certainly tried. If there could have been any money circulating in the senior class I'm sure everyone would have been happy to buy Donald Hallman and Billy Handley a razor and some razor blades, but we waited so long that we had to buy dog tags instead. I wish Martha Alcorn would quit repeating the history of James Murray Brown! We learned it the first day of school. I know Alice Thompson must feel her importance, because after all, it isn't everyone who can be president of the Beta Club. I hope the Sr. II class has a little money left in their treasury, because the way Joyce McCl1nton and Barbara Manasco walk the hall they will probably have to buy a new one next year. If Ted Jones and Pete Boyd would study their school books instead of books on How to Become 5 Successful Romeo, maybe they would have at least aUC' average. The chemistry class of U9-50 will long be remembered for its ability to make the wonderful fragrances which fill the hall and class rooms every day. I don't know what the senior class will do next year for dicta- tors. I haven't seen Nella Jean and Rosie training anyone to take their places. If you ever wonder why Carolyn Deason is so conceited, just re- member that it 1sn't everyone who is fortunate enough to have a boy friend who has a car that you have to get into twice. The first time, you fall through. , Why doesn't Alvera Thompson dye her hair red, since she loves red- headed people so much. Wanda Scheile won't need any privileges when she becomes a senior. She is taking hers now. Jimmy Key, if you must write love letters, don't put them in desks where they can be found. It could put you in a very embarrasing position. We wish Vola Flippo would stop trying to take Coach Perry to Oak- man every morning, we still have to have to a teacher the first period. Why does R. P. Williamson have to go to Jasper to get a girl, what is wrong with the girls in Parrish? I wonder why Betty Sue always writes notes in Latin to Bobby Latham. Is she afraid he will find out their meaning? How did Bobby Ruth and Jimmy Nell Key ever manage to get into seo- ond year Latin when they don't even know first year? Why d1dn't Dot Walden get to be grumbler? She always manages to find something to grumble about. I don't understand why Jean Shannon acts so bashful in class? Why can't she act like she does around Ronnie Odom? I feel sorry for poor little Tommie Handley. I know her head is whirling from turning so fast from Wiley to Clarence, and from Clarence back to Wiley. Now friends, I'm sure you're just as much in the dark as I am as to why the senior class elected me grumbler. 3' J-Q? .X- ei.. 726 PRESIDENT . .. af .syfuafenf Conrad 'Ng-at lASI Wlll We, the Senior Class of Parrish High School, city of Parrish, county of Walker, and state of Alabama, being of sound mind and memory, do here- by make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us. To Mrs. Michael, the class wishes to leave its great appreciation for the many favors shown us in our senior year. To the faculty, we wish to apologive for having caused them so much trouble in grading and we hope the class of '51 will not roam around so much, but will concentrate on studying. To the Junior Class, we will our place in the hears of all our teachers as the best class in school. Also we leave them our many privileges- that is, if they can find them. Joyce McCl1nton has something great to will. Joyce wills her 1.5 horse- power to Gayle Winn. . Duette Crump wills her flirtatious ways to her cousin, Peggy Jo Crump. She really doesn't need them. Albert Davis wills his sea-sickening hair waves and his fradumss to Darwin Stough. Ted Jones came up with two wills. Ted wills to Naomi Groves his red hair CTon1 tool. He wills his ability to be best athlete to Billy Kilpatrick Rosie Handley wills her ability to be teacher's pet to anyone who can pass the training. If I were Jone Burnett I would certainly be studying very hard to pass. Nelda Shannon wills to John Fred Groves, her sister, Bobby Phth Shannon. Meta Lou Courtnaton wills to her sister, Betty the ability to piddle around ln the lunchroom a half day. ' Lorene Odom and Jimmy Smith will their ability to manage to sit together in every class to Betty Plylar and Eleanor Davis. From Raymond Lockhart came a will to Charles Groves his ability to sing hill-billy songs. delen and Lorene Odom will to Betty Cottrell and Ollie Jones the prac- tice of not being separated over five minutes at the time. From Betty Piper came a will to Frances Hutto. Betty wills to Frances her habit of making sarcastic remarks. Pete Boyd, being the handsomest boy in the Senior Class, thought that he should not date girls in Parrish, but date in Jasper, therefore, he wills this practice to Gleen Teele. To the next Associate Editor of Parrisian, Donald Hallman leaves his snap of a Job of getting up an annual. Truman B own wills to Jimmy Jackson and Brodie Plylar his sdm right to go to sleep in class whenever he pleases. Tommy Handley wishes to rent her chair ln the office to Wanda Schlelle. 28 IASI Wlll Eunice Thompson wills to Faye Brown her formula for curling hair. We wonder why this was. Betty Ann Cannon and Clifford Harland will to Dorothy Deason and Pee Wee Inman their high grades and general knowledge. We think they must have been sorry for them. Dorothy Walden wills her small size to Jean Welch, hoping that Jean will take things as easy as she has. Billy Handley is glad for this chance to will to Douglas Woods the honor of hauling the entire student body to town at lunch. To Eleanor Robins, Nella Jean Byrd wills her dignified way. Does anyone think Eleanor needs them? Alice Thompson wills to Jim Beasley her way of arguing about every- thing that comes up. We're glad Alice finally got it off on some poor unfortunate soul. Betty Garrison wills her art of grumbling, which has almost reached perfection fand worried the rest of us to deathb, to Geneva Slocumb. Carolyn Deason wills to Lillian Dixon her friendly, beaux-catching ways. Tommy Argent leaves his large collection of C's and D's to Mary Jane Blanton, who has quite a collection of her own. Barbara Manasco leaves to Betty Courington her text books with the initials T. A. scribbled in them. - Elbert Deason leaves his habit of kidding all teachers to Jerry Neil Davis and Philip Aklns. Valeria C rell leaves to Joan Mauldin her good nature, at the same time warning er ve the opposite sex alone. 4 R. P. Williamson bestows u Sam Harris the position as Ladies' Man. Martha Alcorn leaves her collection f servicemen to June Deason. That is, when Martha takes her pick. at Evelyn Franklin leaves to Betty Jane Crump her broad smile, whenever one of the opposite sex chances to glance in her direction. Edith Glover leaves to Betty Plylar her ability to cook: with the hope that it will aid her in securing life-long companions. Alvera Thompson wills to Dorothy Courington her many beauxs, hoping that she will have more success in keeping them all crazy about her than Alvera has had.

The squad was composed of only five returning lett- er men, but Coach Perry and Coach Douglas molded a team that made itself recognized throughout the county. The first encounter was with a strong eleven from Hamil- ton. The Tornadoes could not get on their feet, but the game was clean and hard fought. The Tornadoes came out on the short end of the order 18 to O. Billy Handley played his last game with the Tornadoes and showed some fine de- fensive playlng. The Tornadoes held Hamilton the first half to 6 to O, but the defense for Parrish seemed to give out. The following game was with Oak Grove. The Tornadoes showed a fine defensive team. Neither team could cross th goal, though it was threatened many times. Parrish received the opening kick-off and marched to the twenty-yard line but could not reach the goal. The playing of Judson Kilpat- rick and Ted Jones was outstanding. Next came Cordova. The light and inexperienced Tornadoes met the strongest team in the county. It was a very close game until the last few minutes of play. Parrish received a punt and one play later a fumble by Parrish set up a touch- down for Cordova. The Tornadoes received the kick-off and again a fumble and again another score for Cordova. The game ended 13 to O. The Tornadoes met their third out of county team, Cornay and sent them home with a 33 to 7 defeat. Parrish received the opening kick-off and drove down the field to a score. Edward Ivy took the ball around the end for 15 yards to score the first touchdown of the season for the Tornadoes. Jud- son Kllpatrick took a hand-off from Austin Johnson to make the second marker. At the second half the Tornadoes started the second team. The final scores came with Monk Cottrell, Bill Kilpatrick, and Austin Johnson taking the ball across on short line plays. The next game was scheduled with Curry. The Tornadoes took the game with an easy 12 to 0 win. Parrish was slow in getting started. The Tornadoes kicked off to Curry and they took the all deep into the Tornadoes' territory. After a time-out Parrish got together and stopped the drive. Parrish scored in the second period with a short pass from Sam Harris to Austin Johnson. At the beginning of the sec- ond half, Parrish received the kick-off and drove 65 yards for the second score, Judson Kilpatrick making the score. By the time of the Dora game the Tornadoes had developed a very fine passing attack. This was prgved by defeating Dora by a slim margin of 13 to 12, a very close game. 32 SPIIIHS Parrish kicked to Dora.to start the game. Dora could not penetrate the strong Tornado line. By the excellent pass- ing of Billy Kilpatrick and Pete Boyd's catching, the To - nadoes forged ahead 7 to O the first quarter. he second quarter started with Dora on the Parrish 4-yard line. They scored and made it 7 to 6 in favor of Parrish. The Torna- does came back to make another score the second quarter, Jud Kilpatrick making the tally. The game ended 13 to 12 in favor of Parrish. It was a sad night for the dear old Tornadoes, losing their Home-coming game to Carbon Hill 12 to 7. The Tor- nadoes did not get much practice that week because of wet fields and bad weather. Carbon H111 could not run the Tornadoes' line, but their passing attack was working. Car- bon Hill started the scoring in the second quarter with a pass, and led 7 to O. Parrish later scored with a pass from Billy Kilpatrick to Pete Boyd. This was the second game lost at Chilton Field since the beginning of the sea- son. The game was clean and hard fought, but lost. Next came another out-of-county game with Brilliant. The Tornadoes had not recovered from the last week's game. They had several injuries. Parrish led until the last few minutes of play when a bad play gave Brilliant the ball in the Tornadoes' territory. A long pass put Brill- iant ahead 12 to 7. Parrish seemed to be well on their way for a score when the whistle blew and the game ended. Edward Ivy made the only score for Parrish with a pass from Sam Harris. Judson Kilpatrick made the extra point. Our final scheduled game was with Oakman. Parrish was in high spirits for that game. They took the game with an easy 19 to 6 win. Kenneth did some fine running for the Tornadoes. Kenneth scored the first touchdown in the first period on a around-end play. The Tornadoes led at the half 13 to 0. Parrish came back the second half and drove 78 yards for another touchdown. Ivy made the score. Oakman scored in the last few minutes of play. The game ended Parrish 19, Oakman 6 After completing a very fine season the Purple Torna- does were invited to play for the County Championship at Jasper. Their foe was Cordova, but Cordova refused to playg therefore, Parrish met Dora, the next strongest team. The first half looked bad for Parrish. Dora led to 0. The second half the Tornadoes were out for revenge. It was a very interesting game all the way through. The game ended with a six to six tie. Austin Johnson made the only score for Parrish with a quarter back sneak over center. Pete Boyd, endg Ted Jones, center: and Judson Kilpatrick, fullback: played their last game for the Purple Tornadoes.
