August 3, 1943, our class of twelve boys and fourteen girls entered dear old Riverton for our twelfth year. Being seniors thrilled us, though we had a sad feeling knowing the end was drawing near, and we knew the war would separate us to all parts of the world. Our star ball player and all around good sport, Nolen Parker, was drafted into the army in October, 1942, and is now station- ed at Amarillo Field, Texas. Second was W. E. (Wee) Holder who volunteered for the Ma- rines December 14, 1942, and is now stationed at Elliott Field, California. We began the second semester with a heavy heart, for the two empty seats that could never be filled, and we all knew that before the end of the semester there would be many other seats left empty for a more important job. J. D. (Fuzzy) Harris joined the Navy March 4, 1943, and is stationed at Bainbridge, Maryland. Fuzzy may be “pint size” but he’s an all around good fellow. Tom Boyd Cornelison, another of our ball players and always a good sport, is now in the Army Air Corps at Keesler Field, Mississippi. Haden Winkles volunteered for the Navy April 13, 1943, and is now stationed at Pensacola, Fla. We regret that an out- standing student like Haden could not finish out the term. John Tipton, our only Hurricane boy, joined the Navy and left April 21, 1943. He was one or our most outstanding stu- dents and we are all proud of him. This leaves seven boys of which three, Lawson (Red) Rod- gers, Elbert Cobb and Richard Patterson were deferred to finish school May 14, 1943. But feeling it their duty to join the other boys they asked the draft board to send them now; they will leave April 28, 1943. Eugene Johnson, our class president, and valedictorian will enter service May 14, 1943. Rayford Usery has already been examined and is expecting his call to limited service soon, where we’re sure he can do an outstanding job. James Allen Broughton and William (Cootie) Cope are sev- enteen, but they are going to enlist soon. This leaves twelve girls, but we are fighting too, with a grim- mer determination than ever to win our battle behind the lines. So we say to our beloved classmates and other Riverton boys, “we are backing you up one hundred per cent.” LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL - «sMMmiiMiiiiiCS . � «5 VU-JV':.. f safeM ssa� ’. CLASS HISTORY In August 1939, we the grammar school graduates came into Riverton High, “The Great Hall of Learning,” in an uncertain state of mind. Whether we were glad, sorry, or frightened, we couldn’t tell. In our freshman year we had an addition of four pupils from Pulaski Pike. In our sophmore year seven pupils came from Hurricane. We also received two from Huntsville High and two from Lincoln. Our president of the Jr. Ill class was Nolen Parker, who remained with us until October when he was called to the arm- ed forces. Thelma Bailey left early in her senior year to work in a defense plant. W. E. Holder joined the Marines in December. At present he is in San Diego, California. The class has always taken a deep interest in school activities and practically all the class joined the F.F.A. or F.H.A. when we came into senior high school. Throughout the years this class has won its share of honors. Mary Hodges represented the school at Lincoln in the county reading contest and won third place. James Allen Broughton has twice represented his Agriculture class in a Public Speaking Contest, going to the state finals once. He also won second place in the Butler Cup declamation contest Juanita Ray was a member of the debating team which repre- sented Madison County and won over several of the outstand- ing schools in Alabama before going down. She also won second place in a Civitan Essay contest. Eugene Johnson won third place in the Butler Cup declama- tion contest. We have found pleasures more numerous than hardships dur- ing our high school years; we have made many warm friends whom we will always love. The president of our Senior II class was W. E. Holder and of our senior year is Eugene Johnson. Two of our senior girls got a matrimonial bee in their bon- net and have qualified for the M.R.S. degree. Vera Lamb left us, but Evelyn Stone Petty is continuing her work while her husband is with Uncle Sam. This is perhaps the saddest separation that a senior class has ever known, for our class will be scattered as no other class has, due to the war. We have had a grand time and enjoyed every moment of it and so our life at Riverton High ends. M r L •1 • - .

Who some day, will make some guy— A sweet lovely queen. Next on the roll comes Helen Bradford: Who is very neat; and oh boy! Her cooking can’t be beat Next comes James Allen Broughton. Very hateful, altho we like him well. And some girl’s love, he’ll win some day: Her name, we’re afraid to telL Oh look! who’s here, Katherine Campbell, Very quiet and shy, and can she wink; My, yes! just watch her eye. Now its Elbert Cobb who falls in line; Pretty sweet and mighty fine. He is very nice and very neat— His personality can’t be beat This is William Cope, I think— He doesn’t know a bathtub from a sink. He’s very little and loud. And of a certain girl is he proud! Next is Tom Boyd Cornelison, With his friendly ways— He’ll use his art. Forever, with Louise Glaze. Louise Fears is next in line. Though her sweetheart’s in the Army And she is left behind— She works at M. Wards to earn a thin dime; And to show to the world it is futile to pine. There’s J. D. Harris, he’s never embarrassed, He’s little and low and oh! oh! oh! How Ruth Wilburn fell for him, Everybody should know. Here’s Evelyn Stone Petty in our senior year. Being very pretty and a perfect dear— She’s the first to reach her M.R.S. degree. We are sure to this statement, A. D. will agree. Although she’s domestic, she lonely too. This to her husband, she misses you. Hi there Ruth Wilburn, you naughty girl, Plenty of waves without the curls. You’re very smart, but on the matrimonial Road you’ll embark, for I’ll bet some day you— Will lose your heart Just look whom we found, Doris Henson Standing around. Grinning so big— With never a frown. Hi there Mary Hodges! the queen of the land, Everywhere I see you, you have a mirror in your hand You’re very little and low, But always you’re raring to go. Next we have Mary Frances Hopkins, Often heard, but seldom seen. Why! she lost her heart at— Hazel Green. There comes Eugene Johnson, The little pet, since he and— J. D. Wiglcy first met He has a way that just won’t keep, From sweeping the girls off their feet Next on our list comes the Patterson kids— Richard and Vera. Vera is cute and sweet And oh! Richard’s smiles can’t be beat Here comes Juanita Ray, A Navy boy she’ll wed some day. Good luck to them, will come we hope, If up doesn’t walk, William Cope. Her name is Pauline, and is she mean! First she is here, then she is there. If it rains or if its fair. We like her ways and her golden hair. John Tipton has just come in, Vera Patterson’s heart, he’s sure to win. Unless by chance Eugene appears, And as usual interferes. Next on the roll is Haden Winkles, Though Uncle Sam has called him, he has no wrinkles; He may be quiet, but he can fight, fight fight— And bring down the Japs both day and night. Next we have Lawson Rogers, With his red hair, he could beat the dodgers. He can play a game, and play it well. Where he will land, we cannot telL Last but not least comes Rayford Usery, I’ll bet some day he’ll own a nursery. For chemistry means so much you see— He can be the man he wants to be.

We elected the following officers for the school year 1942-43: President .................................. James Patterson Vice-President ............................. Doris Bridges Secretary-Treasurer ....................... Louise Comelison Also, we have several committees. Due to the war, several of our boys will be called into their country’s service. Of course we hate to see them go, but we are proud of them. As seniors of 1943-44, we hope to have a class as well-liked as the 1942-43 senior class. 0 WFZZ-T?--?.?,-? T.-.7.T-.

It has contributed generously to the Red Cross, and Greek War Relief funds. A sizeable quantity of scrap iron has been collected also. Several members of this class are on the Senior basketball team and have shown great ability. Considerably over half of this class are members of the Allied Youth Association and have entered into its activities with sincere cooperation. , Of the thirty-three members of the class, five came from Hur- ricane school and ten from Pulaski Pike school. All of whom have proven themselves worthy members, especially, Jack Car- ter, a member we acquired from Pulaski Pike school, who en- tered and won first place in state-quarter-finals of the F.F.A. public speaking contest. Class officers are: President, Nell Bailes; vice-president, Jim Tipton; secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Giles; and reporter, Caro- lyn Thornton. - -� 0 -f - ■ � ,. • � . .■� ; -I- A . ■ rrrrrr ,. _1....................................................................................................................j._AiLWB� SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL In the year 1942-43 more boys were out for basketball, giv- ing us a sufficient number for an “A team and a “B” team. From the 1941 squad only two remained and consequently our “A” team was not quite so strong this year as formerly. In the very beginning of our school year one of our strong- est players joined the Marines leaving the necessity for train- ing a new man in his place. The first squad consisted of: Forwards, Tom Boyd Corneli- son, James Patterson; center, Edward Stringer; guards, Haden Winkles, W. E. Holder. Substitutes: James Allen Broughton, Roy Blair, Lawson Rog- ers, and J. D. Harris. The second squad consisted of: Forwards, Homer Tate, Jack Carter; center, Junior Wallace; guards, Robert Hughs, and George Freeman. Substitutes: Gerald Bingham, Homer Marona, John Tipton.

Riverton 8 f FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF ALABAMA In June twelve members of our chapter, chaperoned by our adviser, Mrs. J. D. Wigley, attended the three-day F.H.A. con- vention at Alabama College. Nine of these girls were initiated to State Degree members. The group returned with many in- teresting ideas and a lot of inspiration and enthusiasm for mak- ing this the successful year which it has been. We have a total membership of fifty-two under the leader- ship of the following officers: Nell Blackburn, president; Jua- nita Ray, vice-president; Mary Blackwell, second vice-presi- dent; Ruth Naugher, secretary; Helen Bradford, treasurer; Ruth Wilburn, parliamentarian; Vera Patterson and Evelyn Petty, reporters, and Mrs. J. D. Wigley, adviser. During the year two initiations have been held. The first was a spend-the-night party in the Home Economics Depart- ment in August. The second was in February when 23 pledges became first degree members and 8 second degree members became third degree members. We have thirteen members who will be eligible for State Degree at the close of school. We have held a chapter meeting each week giving interest- ing programs. We have had three parties, and in cooperation with the F.F.A. two joint socials. Due to food rationing we decided not to have a Mother-Daughter-Father-Son Banquet this year. The F.H.A. has assisted with the war effort by cooperating with the F.F.A. in selling war bonds and stamps, and helping with the various salvage drives. We also collected about fif- teen pounds of old keys. We have assisted the F.F.A. in sell- ing more than seventy-five dollars worth of garden seeds in the community and have encouraged more people to plant vege- table gardens. The F.F.A. and F.H.A. have run the school store this year, each chapter and the school getting a third of the profit. The F.H.A. used its third of the profit to carry on the department improvement project. We have finished paying for the Frigid- aire which was bought last June and have bought two new Singer machines. About thirty-three dollars worth of books have been added to the Home Economics Department. Next year we plan to buy new linoleum for the kitchen floor and two new oil stoves. SI i FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Riverton Chapter Future Farmers of America has had a most successful year in spite of its heavy loss to the armed forces. Sixteen of the thirty-five members are now serving in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Corps. The Chapter has concentrated its program in assisting the war effort. To date the chapter has sold $4,317.15 worth of war bonds and stamps and purchased a fifty dollar bond. Scrap collections for the year have now reached 50,000 pounds. Three dollars were given to the War Chest Drive, and five dollars to the Red Cross. The members voted to give blood to the blood donors bank at the Huntsville hospital. Group letters were sent to all former members now serving overseas, and Christmas cards to all former members now in the armed forces. Many interesting replies have been received. Most of the members are carrying home gardens for improve- ment projects as a means of increasing food production. Quite a bit of interest has been shown in the two pigs being fed out. Other accomplishments for the year included: establishment and the addition of thirty dollars worth of books to the F.F.A. library as well as some very worth while magazines and free publications. More than twenty dollars was spent for play ground equipment for the grade children. The educational trip was confined to a three-day camping and fishing trip at Whita- ker’s Camp. Seven boys entered the public speaking contest this year. Jack Carter has won out in the district and state quarter-finals. James Allen Broughton placed third in the state last year and we are counting on Jack to bring us through this year. Our Chapter was represented at the state convention by John Tipton, James Broughton and Mr. Wigley. We ft.el that much credit for our success should be given the grade pupils, other departments in school and the faculty. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The Junior Red Cross Council of Riverton, organized in 1940, began its third year of work when it held its first meeting of the past year on October 29, 1942. Officers elected for the year were: Chairman: William Cope. Co-chairman: Ruth Naugher. Secretary: Jane Frame, Treasurer: Elbert Cobb. Reporter: Mary Hodges. Project committee: Juanita Ray, Ruth Wilburn, Carolyn Thornton. The Council sponsored the Junior Red Cross membership drive. During the year they have also contributed to Greek War Relief, the annual Red Cross membership drive, the Crip- pled Children’s fund and the Tuberculosis fund. -sr'. ALLIED YOUTH Allied Youth Post No. 220, Riverton School, Huntsville, Ala- bama, is a youth-officered unit of a National Movement in al- cohol education. Post No. 220 received its charter February 4. 1943. Officers elected were: James Allen Broughton, presi- dent; William Cope, vice-president; Evelyn Stone Petty, sec- retary; Lillian Robertson, treasurer; and Mrs. Florence R. Mil- ner, sponsor. There are 33 charter members. The first purpose of the Allied Youth is to equip young people to face the personal problems and challenges that grow from drinking situations. Educational programs provide youth with facts that show how handicapping and how unnecessary “just a few drinks” are in the life of young people today. Recreational programs provide alcohol-free events for boys and girls who are willing to make a fair test of parties and social affairs that are lively and interesting without the use of intoxicants. Allied Youth sets a happy steady pace of whole- some and original forms of fun and fellowship. TYPING CLASS The typing department has grown from four typewriters and four pupils, to thirteen typewriters and thirty-nine pupils. The fact that a number of girls have taken positions with no additional training, and the great demand for typists at pres- ent, have been factors in the increase of interest. Begun as a sideline, it could easily become a full time course for one teacher. This year the class has numbered thirty-six. There have been a number of changes in the membership of classes due to the shifting of families from one district to the other. However, as one pupil withdrew from the typing class there were others in waiting to take his place. In response to the call of the government for typewriters we have given up two leaving us only eleven typewriters to thirty-six pupils. Doubtless we shall have to give up others when our term is finished in May.
