CLASS OF ’50 President. Vice-President Secretary. Treasurer. Nancy Worsham ...Howard Clark ..Frances Smith .Elwood Lawson MOTTO: Let The Ropes Of The Past Ring The Bells Of The Future COLORS: Green and Silver FLOWER: Gardenia OUR JUNIOR CLASS September 9, 1948 was almost like any other September day. The sun rose as usual in the morning, but the rub lay in the necessity for human beings of school age to accompany the sun in that early morning activity. We rose, and after the ritual of dress and breakfast, we were ready to begin our Junior year in High School. Rather exciting it is to begin a new school year. There were schedules, classes, and words, words, words. They floated over our heads, out the window, with only a few accidentally registering on the gray matter. There was the Junior play. When “Grandad Steps Out” with Wilburn Batterson in his shoes, there was a price to pay, and Mary Jane Goodwyn as Tilly, the maid, almost lost her uniform to pay it. The Junior play was also momentous in that Rose Marie in her role of “Miss Abby’’ snared her man, “Big Jim Mahoney from Arizoney”. Jim Jervey was the lucky man, and “so big and strong and manly” in Miss Abby’s words. The Juniors rose to prominence in quite a number of activities. Our own Al¬ ice Webb captured the envied and esteemed office of President of the Student Council. Rose Marie Kammerer held two presidencies to the advantage of the Glee Club and F. H. A. Sallie Mae Hurt served as Secretary of the latter. Dottie Mann distinguished herself as President of the Jolly Six Federation of six coun¬ ties. In the F.F.A., Wilburn Batterson, Lawrence Allen, and Elwood Lawson held important offices. Our own class officers proved to be a capable group with Nan¬ cy Worsham as President, Howard Clark as Vice-President, Frances Smith as Secretary, and Elwood Lawson as Treasurer. Not the least of the Juniors’ activities was the Junior-Senior Banquet, and quite a gala affair that was with food and festivity galore. Later that season came our sports, one of which was the Girls’ Softball team, with Mary Jane Goodwyn as Captain and Nancy Worsham as Manager. The boys also had their sports. The baseball team consists of practically all of the Jun¬ ior boys. Now we are about to commence that event of lifetime, our Senior year in High School. Again one bright morning in June of 1950 we shall rise for our last day in High School. There will be laughing and gaiety, but as the sun sets on that last day, there will be tears at the thought of closing such a pleasant chapter in the life of every High School Student. Next Year will speak for itself, but true to our motto, we will “let the ropes of the past ring the bells of the future.” Nancy Worsham
