the courses we were to take. Our sponsor was Hiss Leta Ray Locke Editions to our class that year. They were; Delilah Timmerman, Lillian Smith, Morri ■TTkcDaniel, Clyde Woody, Bruce Wanger, Sddie Robeson, Boyce Hurley, Shirley Morrow, ana l Gerald Henorix. Bennett Springs was our picnic spot that year. We stopped in Lebanon I to skate. Bob Ogle also joined our rank that year. few -The next September we became Sophomores vith growing poise and egos. Now the studyhall lecame our home room. JoAnn Scott, Don Fancher, Kay Vance and Mary Holder swelled our forces. But we lost a member because Shirley Saltzman oecided to set sail on the sea of matrimony. With Miss Locke as our class sponsor we gave a program which incluueo a play and several stunts. The money enabled us to hold a picnic at Lost Lake, across the road from Ozark Springs. In our Junior year we were given another sponsor in addition to Hiss Locke; this being Coach Clyde Ruble. This was the eventful year when we decided that wc would endeavor to save enough money to make a trip to some other state during our Senior year. Chicago was eliminated ana we settled on New Orleans as our goal. We presentea a three act play under the direction of Kiss Locke. The title was Are you Mr. Butterworth? Jesse Robertson and Jimmy Campbell came to our class that year. With the profits from our play we financed the Junior-Senior banquet in the spring. Our theme was A Nautical Adventure, We decorated the gym as a large ship. Mr. Schrimsher gave the address. At last we reached our Senior year—the rar-off objective we had set when first we'd entered the first grade in 19A1J From the first of the year we started working for our proposed trip to Louisiana. Vernon Bassett, Don Hanson, Cary Matthews and Oeorre L. Baker joined our class this year. We had lost Miss Locke, so now we chose both Coach and Mrs. Clyde Ruble as class sponsors. We held a pie supper in November and sponsored a basKet- ball game. We sold—oh well, lets say we said articles too numerous to mention, ,'e washed dishes, we cut sprouts. The Lions Club helped us in giving a Pancake Breakfast. Together with the profits from these and other projects and what we made on our three one-act plays (presented under the direction of Mrs. Juanita Stillwell.) We made more than enough to make possible our long awaited trip. So at 3:05 Thursaay oming, April lbth, 22 of us together with Supt. Schrimsher and Mr. and Mrs. Ruble left for the sunny s uth. The first night we spent at Vicksburg, Mississippi and the second night wc arrived at New Orleans. On Tuesday morning April 21st we left for Biloxi where deep- sea fishing and sun-bathing on the beach were enjoyed. We arrived home April 25th dog-tired, short-tempered, sun-burned but oh, ever so happy. It was a fitting climax for our high school career
