Don’t let them get you in trouble Margaret. Mary Jane Bragg wills her talent for singing to Helen Morris. Good luck Helen . Earl Blackburn wills his curley hair to Frank Riddick.

And may the good time we have «•«joyed at Riverton be continued by the many, many students who will keep old Riverton the best school ever. Lois Campbell CLASS PROPHECY MARY JANE BRAGG—Will still be wandering around, won- dering what it is all about. GERALD BINGHAM—Will live a happy life on a dairy farm.

HARVEY TIPTON—Will still be slipping around cotton mid- dles, being shy as ever. ‘ HARLIE TIPTON—Will still be running after the girls at Gurley. MAE VAUGHN wife. Will make a certain by in the Army a good SENIOR CLASS POEM 1945 - 1946 As we start out on the road to success, Where each will try to do his bst, We leave this poem so you can see, What each has done or what each will be. Let’s begin with Jane Frame; For the teachers she will do most anything. But when Mr. Thompson calls, she comes on the run But that doesn’t keep her from having lots of fun. A shy little blonds is Christine Sharpe; She is always breaking soldiers’ hearts. Besides being shy, sh e is also sweet, We think Chris is hard to beat hW'-: SENIOR CLASS POEM 1945 - 1946 Here’s Tom Marona known as the “macaroon,” He’ll make All-American on a ball team soon. He is blonde and bold as you can see, Too bad he didn’t learn of “senior dignity”. The baby of the class, Joanna, comes from Pulaski Pike And though WHO’S WHO says so, she’s not so very qui She and Min are really a pair, They are seen together almost everywhere. Mae Vaughn we see next; She has never come to class without studying the text We think she will lead a nurse’s life, that Is Unless Thomas persuades her to be his wife. Charlie Tipton could really be smart. If he didn’t spend so much time breaking girls’ hearts He is dark and handsome as you can plainly see. But sometimes he is as aggravating as he can be. A very smart gal is Mary Jane Thogh sometimes — to the teachers — she may be a paii For it seems she must laugh in every class, But thats O. K. Bragg, it makes the time pass. Earl Blackburn has lots of curls. That makes him the envy of all the girls He is always ready with his car, In our high school life he has carried us near and far. After we have scattered far and near May this poem keep our memory dear Our faults and our merits, and also our tricks, w ill keep in memory the class of ’46. SENIOR CLASS PROJECT The Senior Class of 1946 is very proud to have been able to spon- or (h - school lunch room, installed in the fall of 1945. The meembers of thr class raised $1,140.00 through donations of patrons of the school and the Senior Class of 1945 donated $200.00 to be used for th« project. With the addition of the profits from the 1946 Year- book the lunch room will be out of debt. We have fed an average of 250 pupils per day since its opening. We believe we have one of the best equiped and most modern units in ihr county, even though we do not have as much room as we would tike The lm. -room is under the able management of Mrs. E. B. Stone, quitted by Mrs. Floyd Green, Mrs. Kenneth Chandler, and Mrs. Thomas w-th Mrs. J. E.

II CLASS HISTORY The Senior II class of 1945-46 consists of twenty-four pupils; eleven girls and thirteen boys. Elna Frame, one of our girls, entered the American Legion Contest, winning first in the County, but losing in the District. Several of the boys in our class are on the two basketball teams and have shown great ability. Vernon Green was select- ed for the All-County “B” Team. Our class has donated to all the drives conducted in the school, Mrs. Frame being our sponsor. Instead of entertaining the Seniors with a banquet, as has been the yearly custom of the Juniors, we decided a trip would be more interesting. On November 30th we held a Fall Festival u. raise the money for the trip. It was very successful, because of tin co-operation of all. We hope when our Senior year is over that the pupils and faculty will remember us by the worthwhile things we did while « • v, ere attending school .

IV V? V rn FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA We have forty-four active members under the leadership of the following officers: Homer Tate, president; Charlie Tip- ten, Vice President; Billy Fears, Secretary; Earl Blackburn, Treasurer; Bobby White, Reporter; Gerald Bingham, Sentinel; and J. D. Wigley, Adviser. Homer Tate was selected to represent Marshall, Morgan and Madison counties at the state convention held at Auburn last June, due to war time restrictions on conventions. At the state convention our chapter was awarded a certificate of Merit for outstanding accomplishments made the past year. In keeping with traditions of years past our chapter had their annual chicken super and initiated eighteen green hands. 'SftTmefiTbers were atstr raised to ehapterEarmers. Bobby Charlie Tipton, and Billy Fears are to receive the State Farmer degree at the annual convention in June. .Our chapter, .sponsored the yictory bond drive in school, which resulted in the selling of $19,406.25 worth of bonds. The chapter is doing what it Can to aid returning War Veterans. For departmental and school improvements we have in- stalled new shades, regular and blackout which were purchased last year. The windows and doors of the Vocational Building have been repainted. The screens have also been reworked for the Home Ec Dept. We are also installing a new sewage line from the Gymnasium and correcting defects of Lunch Room sewage system. Other improvements include the installing of an electric fan which was quite a help during the summer term and the construction of a Visual Aid box which has proven to be a very efficient way of including visual aid in the teaching program due to its economical construction and operation. Sev- eral new books were also add d to the chapter library: Training for leadership is one of the F.F.A. objectives. Public speaking has become one of the most enthusiastic con- test at Riverton. This year we had twelve boys to deliver good speeches. Mickey Wilbourn was the chapter and district win- ner. Our chapter Quartet also won in the district . Two calves and three pigs were-purchased by the chapter for a grazing demonstration in the Laboratory Area which has attracted much attention. The social side has not been neglected. We had joint Halloween, Christmas and Valentine parties with the F.H.A. It is also a consolation to note at Riverton that almost without exception all members of the Athletic teams are good F.F.A. members. ■ „--.7 7 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA We have a total membership of fifty-two under the lead- ership of the following officers: Jane Frame, president; Mary Jane Bragg, vice-president; Betty Sue Tipton, second vice-presi- dent; Vivian Cope, secretary; Helen Morris, treasurer; Mae Vaughn, parliamentarian; Joanna Sublett, reporter; Frances Fears, assistant reporter; and Mrs. J. D. Wigley, adviser. The first of the year the state organization became af- filiated with the national organization bringing about some changes in our constitution. Since we are Future Homemakers of America the pledges are not to be initiated until they have completed a year of Home Economics. Other important changes were in our motton and coolrs. Our motto is “Toward New 'Horizons”, oar-colors- are-red -and white, and- ©ur -flower-the red rose. Last year we were one of the twenty-three chapters in the state to receive a Gold Star Certificate and we hope to receive another this year. We held our annual spend the night” party in the Home Economics Department in August and initiated the first degree members to second degree. We have met each week, giving interesting programs and using correct parlia- mentary procedure. Our scrap book will be up-to-date and in- teresting. Five of our members attended the County Recreation- al Institute and have helped to make our parties more success- ful. We have had joint F.F.A. - F.H.A. Hallowe’en, Christmas and Valentine parties. We entertained the Home Demonstra- tion Club in February and plan to give the program for the Agricultural Council in April. We sponsored the March of Dimes Drive in school and raised $62.19. Two of our members also took up money at the Grand Theater for the Business and Pro- fessional Women’s Club duriag the March of Dimes Drive. We entertained the second, fourth, and first grades with a Valentine Party, for winning the March of Dimes Drive Contest. We are making thirty-nine utility bags and about fifteen pairs of bed room slippers for the Junior Red Cross. We have continued the Department improvement project by reworking-all the floors, tables, and chairs in the Depart- ment. We paid twenty-five dollars on .the installation of an elec- tric bell in the vocational building. We have also added $25.50 worth of new books to the Home Economics library. We have raised money by operating the store to buy some equipment when it is available — thereby we Look — “Toward New Horizons!” Commer- cial Depart- ment Boy Scouts Cheer Leaders COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT As students, of Riverton High School, we are very proud of our Commercial Department which offers us a complete course in commercial studies. There are now thirty-four students made up of Senior I’s, Senior II’s and Senior Ill’s who are taking typing and three who are taking shorthand. We appreciate the advantages this course offers to the student body in preparing us for future careers. We as Seniors of 1945-46 wish to leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for the opportunity which has been afforded us by this course. We are proud of the co-operation which has been shown by both students and teachers in making this sub- ject an enjoyable one. May this continue to be throughout the years to come. RIVERTON SCOUTS The Riverton Scout Troop was organized March 14, 1945. Mr. Tom Reynolds, the leader of the Tennessee Valley Council, with a number of citizens and boys of Riverton, met and work- ed out the plans for the. troop. ___ J. E. Thompson was elected Scout-Master, Messers. Sam Smith, Clarence Green, and Lacey Naugher, were selected as the troop Advisory Members. Our organization is known as Troop No. 234. During the spring, summer and fall, of 1945, this troop was very active. During the summer about twenty boys had a splendid time at Camp Kiwanis. The Troop has been rather inactive the last five months. It hopes soon to start spring and summer activities. The following boys are now members: Bobby Gene Park- er, Thomas Williams, Allen Tate, Bobby Green, Thomas Morr- ing, Clarence Lamb, Claude Lamb, Bam Smith, Jr., Roy Cope, Waylon Smithey, J. W.
