By work and sacrifice, they have given us our opportunity of gaining a high school education. We know they are deeply interested in the studies and activities of their children. We hope that in looking through this yearbook, they will perhaps recapture some of the glamor of their own school days. For this reason and because we know that our family life and our school life are closely linked, we affectionately dedicate the 1952 Rivertonian to the parents of Riverton School. high school buildil ASM.

STAFF PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The true test of a school is not its census, nor the size of its classes, nor the athletic teams turned out, but the kind of ooys and girls it turns out. Character is not one phase of life; it is the whole of life. Hence, there are two basj.c factors upon which we must all agree: first, the absolute necessity of good character in modern life, and second, the consequent need for a program for successfully developing it. Our program of character educdtion in high school must concern itself for the most part with children and young people, therefore, our program must be designed for today's youth in today's world. Thus as we go about our school work let us all fully recognize our strategic position, as represented by setting, materials, personality, and leader- ship and accept our responsibility in assisting every student in the development of profitable experiences through the building of concepts that will be valuable in similiar sit- uations outside the school room.

We. the Senior Class of 1952. in order to form a more perfect student body, es- tablish school spirit, insure the lives of teachers, provide for the common defense of fellow students, promote the general welfare of the underclassmen, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do establish this, our first will and last testament.

Signed, sealed, published, and delivered by the Class of 1952 to be our last will and testament, we do hereunto subscribe our names: Ann Wallace Gene Sims It is customary for the class prophet to consult someone who can unveil the future and foretell the destiny of each member of the Senior Class. I decided the man I needed to see was Mr. Summus. As usual, I fell asleep in Economics class and made my first call on old man Summus. Upon arriving at his kingdom, I state my business briefly. He introduces me to his son, Morpheus, who steps to one side and motions me to follow. I notice as we go out that Morpheus picks up a kind of horn. As we enter a beautiful garden, he turns the horn directly toward me. From the vapor which issues therefrom many things begin to take place. The vapor seems to curl in a peculiar manner until I make out these words: 1952 Riverton High School Graduates in 1972. I begin to hear very beautiful singing, and to my surprise it is our own Alvie Bridges singing love songs to a lovely maiden. Next comes the sound of more singing, a man’s voice again. He is holding a red headed child. I hear a girl speak, and it is Virginia calling him Foley. At this juncture the scene changes and I find myself at a carnival, and what a crowd going into the Nut House! First in line is Bill Lewis, his wife, and eleven children. I wonder how many they left at home. Next is Whiz, who still has his Snuff Dippers membership. Now we are inside the tent, and the main attraction is Vesma Neal, who has the crowd in gales of laughter. Suddenly the vapor is very dim-now I see a train stopping and a couple getting off. It is Bobbie and her husband, just back from Alaska with their two little Eskimos. I next find myself in a strange town. 1 see a sign: 'Wigley Wigley Model Agency and inside are Misses Ann Wallace and Joyce Selby. I see a small artist’s studio and in it is Flora with Ernest as her main male model. She told me that Stilwell got out of Kilby on good behavior and is now the manager of Hills. Jane Vaughn has her own dress shop, with an errand boy named Roger. James Colbert married a Blutchers Ford girl soon after graduation, and according to the last census his family con- sisted of eight boys and seven girls. Beatrice is singing with the famous Brandon Chorus with My Wild Irish Rose as her specialty. Laura is private secretary to the governor with Della and Bobbie Jane as assistants. I now see a policeman, and it is Jimmy Lones. Martha is with him. She was caught in Dallas. Texas carrying a gun. Now I seem to be in Huntsville. I smell hamburgers-and there is Allen Tate, owner and operator of Wimpy’s Grill. Gene Sims has come in after a hard day’s work on the road between Bell Factory and Chase. (He wore it out during school days.) The scene again changes and I see a professor lecturing to his class. It might be nice to be one of Professor Johnson’s students. Vera Pennington is giving Student Driving Training here. Morpheus told me to watch closely for my fortune was to come next. I saw myself as the wife of a successful business man in Atlanta, Georgia, teaching commercial work. Suddenly I thought I could hear the beating of a drum. I soon realized it was not a drum at all but my head, and Mr Wilbourn protesting about people sleeping in his class. Feeling rather abashed about the matter I left the room, deciding to write down what had been revealed to me. With that I beg to leave each of you to your fate, and may that fate be kind to you.

These children have worked together on all drives and projects the school has undertaken, such as Community Chest drive, P. T. A. membership drive, sale of Christmas seals, etc. Each class is responsible for several chapel programs each year. We have our assembly once a week and enjoy the variety of programs which are given. The children always enjoy having a small part in this. The Christmas program for the December P. T. A. meeting was given by the Elementary pupils this year Christmas poems were given. The living Christmas tree make by forty elementary pupils attired in white robes and red ties, each holding a candle in his hand and singing the familiar Christmas Carols was en- joyed by all. The children in the Elementary grades are very proud of the new lunchroom. They will be very proud of the new rest rooms when they are finished. We hope to practice good citizenship by helping take good care of our lunch room and rest rooms. «A R ACT E?- LIBRARIANS Sponsor - MISS MILSAPS PIANO STUDENTS Teacher - MRS.

CHAPTER The Chapter won five county, six districts, six state and one national award to climax perhaps the most successful year in its history. Franklin Miller was the champion corn grow- er, producing 128. 53 bushels on one acre, and J.W. Hawkins was a district winner in the five acre division. Morris Patterson fed out and showed the champion Angus steer at the County Livestock Show, while Billy John- son was winner of the showmanship award. Bobby Green was awarded the first Turner E. Smith award of $100 for being selected the most outstandingFFA member in the county. In the district elimination contest, the Chap- ter placed first in Parliamentary Procedure, Radio Program, Dairy Judging at District Dairy Show, second in String Band, and sec- ond in Beef Cattle judging at the District Livestock Show in Decatur. In the State Contests the Chapter placed first in the Chapter Contest and first in Farm Safety, second in Parliamentary Procedure, second in Radio Program demonstration, and second in Dairy Judging at the Birmingham State Fair. Waylon Smithey was awarded second place in the Public Speaking Contest. At the National Convention our Chap- ter was awarded the Gold Emblem - the highest award in the National Chapter Contest - for the third consecutive year. The members cooperated with the school and other existing agencies, as well as doing worthwhile cooper- ative work among its members. Some of these activities were: placing pure bred gilts in the ’pig chain , purchasinga $549 Premier Ampro 16mm Projector, feeding and managing hogs for the department, assisted the Home Demonstration Club in putting on a minstrel, and assisted other clubs and classes in putting on programs. We also sold $179 worth of Farm and Ranch” magazines. The Chapter s pure bred Hereford bull lias received so much recognition that the Chapter voted to get another one. In other community service the Chapter has assisted farmers in securing pure bred bulls and boars. Every effort is being made to render service to farmers in controlling livestock diseases. Development of leadership is one of the primary objectives of the organization, and much of the planning and activities carried out is done with this in mind. Thirty members participated in the Public Speaking Contest. The Quartet created much interest in FFA work by singing before many groups. Nine members attended the State Convention and Billy Stilwell attended the National Convention. James Strong, Nelson Neeley, Morris Dean Patterson and Thomas Tipton were awarded State Farmer degrees. Much interest is being shown in the Fat Calf Show to be held in Huntsville. Decatur and Birmingham. Members have fif- teen calves on feed for the show. A good recreational program has helped to keep the interest high. We have had three parties, a watermelon cutting and raised $71 to be used on an educational trip with the F. H. A. The Chapter was under the leadership of Billy Johnson. President; Morris Patterson, Vice-president; Fred Higginbotham, Secretary; Billy Stilwell, 1 reasurer; Neison Neeley, Reporter and J. D. Wigley, Advisor. i FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA With the following officers: Ann Wallace, President; Bobbie Parker, Vice-president; Doris Green, Secre- tary; Mildred Ray, Treasurer; Joyce Naugher and Annie Laura Douglass, Reporters; Joyce Selby and Vir- giniaAkins. Historians; and the cooperation of fifty-two active members and our advisor, Mrs. J.D. Wigley, we have had a very successful year. Nine of our members and our advisor attended the 14th annual convention at Alabama College. Martha Voekel sang a solo at the convention. Five members, Pauline A1 verson, Vivian Selby, Doris Green, Mil- dred Ray and Ann Wallace, received their state homemaker degree. We have held weekly meetings with each member being on the program at least two or three times dur- ing the year. We have planned to have our year books printed and bring our scrap book up to date. We made a contribution to the State scholarship fund and the lending library fund. Twenty-one members at- tended the Chain Store Appreciation Dinner--twelve were on the program. We plan to help the P.T. A. with the political rally. We have been active with joint work with the F. F. A. We prepared supper for their initiation. We had a watermelon supper, two joint meetings and parties at Christmas. Valentine, St. Patricks Day and other special occasions. We raised $70.60 selling flavoring, which we will use on an educational trip with the F. F. A. Seven of our members have eight calves to show at the county Fat Calf Show for F. H. A., F. F. A., and 4-H Club members. We are continuing our Department Improvement project and have purchased an electric range which has been installed. We hope to get the cabinets finished and rubber tile on the kitchen floor during the year. = 4: ..yj Building Custodian W.W. LASSATER MRS. ELLIS JACKS Manager Lunchroom Personnel MRS.
