1951 SENIOR TRIP Class Motto WE THE STUDENTS SPEAK EX libris J°hn gp„ Cv;. Ei S,acfee Eo s tr ' ■‘aric Ug°Jene Hughes • Co-edfto„ ’ Spo sors THE RUSSELL HIGH SCHOOL Here is our school - a school of which we are justly proud. To us, the Graduating Class of 1951, it is symbolic of the Amer- ican way of life. . .It was here that we learned the principles of Democracy. . . .to work, study, and play together. . .to respect the rights of our fellow students and teachers, and to expect the same respect from them. As we leave the doors of Russell High for the last time as students, we go forth with the knowledge that our life will be a richer, fuller one, because of our days at Russell High School. RUSSELL, KENTUCKY AMERICA’S FUTURE DEPENDS ON AMERICA'S SCHOOLS FOREWORD Well, Kids, our Revilonian has finally arrived The Book which will keep your memories alive Of those precious days spent at Russell High Before graduation time--then tears, and good-bye You may open the pages, -- and peek inside (the plan is clear--you won’t need a guide) If you like what you find--our work is well done If not--well— anyway,—we’ve had our fun. DEDICATION TO OUR COACH Because of his outstanding ability as a coach--his untiring ef- forts to promote sportsmanship—and because of his wonderful personality, we.the graduating class of 1951,are proud to dedicate our annual to one who is well known to all of us — our coach, Fred Johnson. THE CHOICE IS OURS 5 Above is pictured our popular Superintendent of Schools, B. F. Coffman and his Secretary, Miss Sarah Hendricks. We are very sorry we were unable to secure a picture of our outstanding Board of Education. The School Board represents all the people......Through the School System, it builds America’s Future. Miss Peggy McGuire, pictured at left, is our new attendance director. In addition to her supervision of student personnel, Miss McGuire has been very active in her work with the Associated Public School systems. Russell was one of the schools chosen to participate in this new educational project. PROBLEMS FACED TOGETHER BRING BETTER UNDERSTANDING 6 Mr. Henry Evans is our genial and likeable Principal.

Nine of our members were honored by being asked to join the Beta Club . . . Loretta Francis was chosen as Har- vest Queen.

Joyce Justice was selected as “Miss Junior” for the year . . .Our play Mumbo Jumbo” was enjoyed by all . . .The high- light of the year was the Junior-Senior Ban- quet and Prom. Our theme was “Hitch your wagon to a star . The gym was decorated in blue and white with silver stars which created a heavenly atmosphere. After our summer vacation we again appeared in the halls of R. H. S. for our last year. We are now holding the long awaited place as Seniors and are striving to uphold the dignity of our position. . . We have sponsored dances after the ball games . . . conducted a very successful magazine sale and a white elephant sale. . . attended a wonderful party at the home of Mrs. Huges, one of our sponsor s.

Many years have passed since that ambitious, intelligent and un- forgettable class of 1951 have been together. A class reunion is being held and I, the spirit of '51, am hereto see all the members arrive. Dear me! Who should be the first to arrive but JERRY GIAR driving one of his latest creations, a Jet car. I can remember when he drew them in class instead of getting algebra. Here comes MARY LEIBEE. She's the Recruiting officer for the Waves at the local off ice. Oh! Here comesa car full: why it's JOE MANTZ, who is instructor atthe Naval Academy, with CONNIE STEPHENS, who is the instructor of Cheer- leaders. With them is DORIS EDWARDS who is head of a firm that revises all bookkeeping methods. Then there's PAGE JOHNSON. PAGE is Athletic Director at Russell High and CHARLIE PELFREY is his Assistant. They are trying to getthe Board of Education, which includes RUSSELL MENSHOUSE, JOE WILLIAMS, and DONALD FLANNERY, to pass a law against athletes going to classes. No doubt it will pass. Oh my! Here comes the former Pres ident of the class, JIM POE. He is the owner of the largest construction company in the world. His latest project was the new hospital Last Chance and its staff is DOROTHY BURTON, FREDA HATTON, and LORETTA FRANCIS. What's this? Why it is a chartered bus owned by VERNON THOMP- SON, who finally bought it after r iding it for lOyears. DORIS TURLEY is the first one off; she's the Dean of Girls at Russell University. Following her is HELEN GAMBILL, famous Psychiatrist and her assistant, PHYLLIS MAY. Hi there! If it isn't ELLOUISE ISON who flew in from Texas to see us. Next we see SHIRLEY WASKEY, wearing a dress she models for JOYCE JUSTICE, who owns a dress shop. The dresses are designed by MARY WYANT. The last one off is BOB BEBBER who is the leader of debates in the Senate. For goodness sake, What'sthat? It's a helicopter flying in, driven 31 SENIOR FUN IN ’61 by NOEL REED who finally gave up his driving lessons. Here comes another Limizine driven by LEONA RIFFE, who is accompanied by PHYLLIS ADKINS, owner of a chain of book stores. CLAUDINE SNODDY who is now a missionary has just returned from Japan. INA MAE NEWMAN has become our local beautician. Make way-Here comes JOHN BENNETT owner of the Boom- Boom Chemical Co. thanks to his great assistant TED CLARKE. SHEILA CHILDS is operating a Learn How dance school. CHARLIE VANDERHOOF is now proprietor of the Dew Drop Inn . Well, here comes the last group including LOELLA BARNDOLLAR owner of a chain of theaters in Hollywood. MARY LOU POWELL author of the bestselling novel School Daze , and JOAN BLANKEN- SHIP teacher of Home Ec. JACK POWELL wired to say he couldn't come because he's on the tour as the greatest sportsman in the U.S. There's BARBARA TOLLIVER who, believe it or not, is the Super- intendent of Schools. MARTHA SPARKS and PAULINE LEIBEE are her secretaries. REBA RICE says she is broadcasting every night-- a famous comedian you know. Her program is followed by JACKIE WARNICK, director of the famous orchestra, The Deadbeats . Last, butnotleast, comes JUANITA STONE, director of the new movie, Eeeeeek starring RUTH McCLURG, and HELEN RATLIFF sponsor of the Beta Club at Russell High. MARY STOLLINGS, JOHNDA WILLIS, and NADINE BROUGHTON, are departing already for they are still in college. THELMA ADAMS is head of the Ding a Ling Telephone Company. Quiet! NINETTE GILLEY is giving a speech on the Good old days . We see BARBARA HYLER listening, she is the teacher of Business English. The next speaker is WAYNE WILBURN who is a noted Doctor. Well, the day is about over and you can hardly hear yourself think, because of the jabbering over the wonderful days at high school. So, I will have to close and leave. Need I say this has been a wonderful day? Respectfully (?) Submitted Cookie 32 MEET ME AT SCOTT’S r w' Alone Together It all begins with a simple turn of a key in the keyhole of Scott's Drug Store. . . . Low and behold The Thing is opened. The hour of 8 A. M. has finally rolled around and the students of Dear Ol' Russell High have gathered for their early morning conference of yesterday's happenings and to try to think of some way to get out of their classes today. First to enter is BARBARA BARNDOLLAR and JACK POW- ELL, they forgot to eat breakfast and will settle for coftee. Then comes SQUIRREL CLARKE who has come early to listen to mu- sic that onlySCOTT'S jukebox can offer. Bang! Who slammed the door. . . .PAT CANIFF, who must be very sleepy, he didn't even feel it fly back in his face. Here comes JOHNNY BENNETT who heads for the pinball machine. Joining him is JOE MANTZ, PAGE JOHNSON, and SAM HOFFMAN. Ugh! Oh! it is twenty one minutes till nine and all must run for first period, at twenty till. Peace and quiet. . . . Our wonderful friend, DOC SCOTT enters to inspect and estimate any damages. The clerks patiently clean up the mess and begin to prepare the hotdogs, our favorite lunch time snack. Time passes.........it is only twelve, but we see that some of the students were fortunate enough to skip out of their fourth period classes early. . . . Meaning BETTY HARRIS, DORIS DIL- LOW, and JUANITA STONE. Now it is 12:34 and what's that? It sounds like thunder, but it is only the dismissal of classes at R. H. S. only two blocks away. . . . Crash! Clear the way the crowd is about to enter, ittookthem only one-fourth a second to get here. Here comes ANNA NOLAN who is very small but can really eat those hotdogs. Then there is WANONA MILES, who is simply famished, but will settle for a short order of BOBBY McKENZIE. PHYLLIS MENSHOUSE isn't hungry today. . . . must be in love? ? ? Hold on to your hearts girls, here come TERRY CAUDILL, GENE CARR, JIMMY KOUNS, JOE MAY, and WETZEL PERKINS. Hey PHYLLIS MAY, come back here! After almost destroying our lovable place the gang finally leaves and back to school they must go. Some linger for a few minutes to joke with DOC TOM WILSON, who has become one of our favorite friends. Once again the booths are empty, only to be filled again at 3:15 by jabbering teenagers. JUNE SMITH is patiently trying to fill the orders, while BOB BENNETT and JIM DOWNS are dis- cussing their dates with DOROTHY LEIBEE and BILLY LOIS FREEMAN. Here comes WILMA CHAPMAN and CHARLIE PEL- FREY, BOB BEBBER and JOYCE JUSTICE, who seem to be in- terested only in each other. Then enters J OAN and OTIS BLANKEN- SHIP who is everybody's favorite. DOROTHY WYANT, BAR BARA KEENE, and RUTH COMPTON have come for their daily ice cream cones.... or is it to see those certain boys ? ? Say! Those milkshakes look good. ... JOE MANTZ is buying, he must have lost another one of his famous bets. JOHNNY MILLIS is in the corner telling one of his favorite gags, no doubt! Some of the gang from Westwood very hesitantly leave, JOSIE HAMMONDS says goodbye to PEE-WEE REED, RUSSELL MENSHOUSE rushes to catch his bus and bumps into MARTHA SPARKS, and GLADYS SPARKS. Some of the Drugstore Cowboys have forgotten the time of day and are still talking, but for the majority of us it is time to depart. Thus ends another day of school and SCOTT'S. Helen Ratliff JUNIOR JOTTINGS At the beginning of the year the Jolly Juniors elected the following officers: President . . .Sam Hoffman Vice-President . . Dean Perkins Secretary. . .Phyllis Menshouse Treasurer . . Bob Harris Through the guidance of these officers and the class sponsors, Miss Washington, Mrs. Rose, and Mrs. Wade, and through the co-operation of the students, they became an active group in Russell High. They were well represented in sports and extra-curricular activities. Their play, Damsels in Distress given in November was a great suc- cess. The Juniors are especially proud of Patty Cox who was elected as Vice-President of the tri-state Beta Club at the Convention held in Louis- ville. Patty will preside at one of the meetings at the Convention next year. This is a very high honor for Patty and our school. The Juniors have worked hard and completed many projects during the school year. They sponsored a number of dances after the games. . sold programs at the ball games. . sold autograph books to the students and last but certainly not least they sponsored a paper drive whichproved to be a great success. We have had whispers that the Prom and Banquet will be a gala event of the Spring. We know that the Juniors have worked hard to secure the necessary funds and we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior Prom. 36 JUNIORS Jennine Pennington Gary Mayberry Barbara Pennington Bill Conley Donald Vinson Dorothy Wyant Frank Lycan Phyllis Phelps Betty Harris Howard Slusher Darrell Young Joyce Roverts Johnny Millis Ruth Compton John Adams Karen Meeks Sylvia Roby Monnie Stephens Bonnie Stephens Roberta Hays Wilma Chapman Doris Dillow Sam Hoffman June Smith JUNIORS Patrica Martin Bill Burgess Carol Hatton Ronald Crance Patty Garvin Bob McKenzie Barbara Keen Bonnie Clarke Pat Caniff Minnie lviclntyre Mary Alice Sparks Jimmy Elkins Kenneth Barber Olive Carmichael Dennis Prater Eula Pigman Francis Adams Jimmy Kouns Peggy Ray Darwin May Carl Porter Gene Meeks Gene Carr Wanda Kiger.

OUR SOCIAL LIFE GIVES US POISE AND GRACE 57 WE WANT TO SERVE The Beta Club is the most active national organization in our school. It is an honorary club and only students who average B or better are invited to member ship. Its primary purpose is to encourage leadership, good character and achievement. Numia Lee Fouts is the sponsor of this outstanding group and she worked hard to bring State Beta honors to Russell High. At the Tri-State Beta Convention in Louisville, Russell won fir st prize for their patriotic skit and also managed to elect Patty Cox to the state office of Vice-President. We have just cause to be very proud of them and we hope they will continue to bring recognition to our school.

We also presented it as a special program before the P. T. A. the Russell Women's Club, The Rotary Club, The Ashland Busi- ness and Professional Women's Club and Phi Chapter, of Beta Sigma Phi. We were very happy to bring our message of free- dom to the people of Russell and Ashland. We had lots of fun giving our skit, and we shall long remember our bell. Out- standing features included in our skitwere the patriotic tap dance by Marilyn Rigg and The Lord's Prayer, sung by Jackie War- nick. As an added attraction of our pro- gram, several of our Betas presented a round table discussion on current national issues. We have completed a very successful year. We have sponsored Book Week, Courtesy Week, published our Beta Hi- Light, sold tags for the Women's Club, assisted with the March of Dimes Cam- paign, cleaned trophies, presented a school assembly, and the Sweetheart Dance. We are now looking forward to next year and-------Convention. TO APPRECIATE THE HERITAGE OF OUR FOREFATHERS TO WASTE NOT.....--WANT NOT Perhaps the most valuable and constructive club in our school is the Junior Conservation Club. Here the boys are taught the value of game and soil con- servation. They learn how to protect and preserve these resources.

The most popular club among the boys of Russell High School is the Ro Club. It is patterned after the Rotary Club. Each week two Ro members attend the Rotary meeting. The purpose of the Ro Club is to teach the boys to be of service to their school and community. The Roboys meeteach Tuesdayatnoon for luncheon and their meeting. John Bennett is the president of this club while Ted Clarke serves as vice president, and Joe Williams as secretary-treasure r. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to promote high standards of Christian living among boys in the school and the community. This club is directed by James A. Wooten, who is Secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. We are proud of the Hi-Y and hope to see them more active in future years. President - Ted Clarke Vice Pres. - Vernon Thompson Sec. - Treas. - Jim Kouns FOR A BETTER CHRISTIAN WORLD 62 SENIOR ENGLISH A very important class in our school is the Senior English Class. Through the guidance of our capable instructor, Mrs. Rose, the Seniors have spent a very enjoyable and profitable year studying the various phases of literature and the principles of grammar. We have acquired a broader knowledge and deeper appreciation of the classics and master- pieces of Ancient and English literature. At this particular time the Seniors were studying Macbeth. In the picture you see Freda Hatton, Ninette Gilley, and Doris Turley, dramatizing one of the witches'scenes taken from this Shakespearean play. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS 63 One of the best ways for a student to improve his speech habits is to enroll in Miss Clark's Public Speaking Class. Although it is one of the most informal classes in Russell High, Speech is one of the most bene- ficial. Here we learn to prepare and deliver speeches, and to say was and wash instead of wuz and warsh . In the picture the class is shown making one of its numerous recordings. TO EXPRESS OUR THOUGHTS CLEARLY AND 64 If you should hear an explosion or smell a queer odor in the school during fifth period, you would probably be correctin suspectingit to have come from the laboratory where Miss Washington's Chemistry Class was justtryinga ne w expe riment. The class has proven to be a mostenjoyable and profitable one to the students enrolled. They have taken several ex- cursions to various factories and plants during the year. In the picture you see the industrious group hard at work on one their endless ex- pe riments. TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF SCIENCE 65 This brightgroup of typists have paused fora moment for the benefit of the photographer. Actually they are a ve ry industrious group. Russell High has an excellentCommericalDepartment. Many students have gone forth from R.H.S. to be successful in the business world because of the training they have received under the guidance of Mrs. Wade. TO DEVELOP SALABLE SKILLS AND To be a good homemaker, girls must not only be good cooks but they should also knowhow to sew. Here you see Mrs. Wilcox explaining some of the parts of the sewing machine to her students. In addition to making many difficult clothing articles, the girls have learned how to select fabrics for their durability and appropriateness. They have also studied the art of interior decoration and judging from some of their color schemes, the homes throughout Russell vicinity will have a bright and rosy future. TO MAKE A HOUSE, A HOME 67 HOME EC. COOKING If I knew you were coming, I'd baked a cake. Some of the girls heard, The way to a man's heart is through his stomach , so they decided to enroll in Mrs. Wilcox's class. This is the first year in RHS for Mrs. Wilcox, but she has already proved to be a very competent guide for the girls. 'fSKss mam wism TO LEARN THE RUDIMENTS OF NUTRITION 68 OUR IIBRARV Our library is the center of all school activities. Here we have our study halls in which we can do our class assignments. We also have an opportunity after lessons are done to browse through a wide selection of the best periodicals. Our library subscribes to three daily newspapers and the sports page is always in demand. Interesting biographies, current fiction and non-fiction are found oi. the shelves of our library. These books furnish valuable supplementary material to aid us in our class work. The girls who assist Miss Fouts at the desk are: Phyllis Adkins, Carlos Waller, and Francis Adams.

OUR COUNTV HEALTH NURSE IN ACTION CAFETERIA Bobby trudged down the road with his lunch pail in one hand and his books in the other. Wouldn't that be an ancient statement to be heard today? It is arare occasion to see a student with a book in his hand outside of class; and who would have the audacity to carry his lunch to school? It is possible for students to have a well- balanced and an appetizing lunch each day with- out leaving the building. We wish to thank the ladies who work in the cafeteria for their efforts to make this pos- sible. PICTURED ARE: Mrs. Charles Poe, Mrs. Rece, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Moore, Eula Pigman, Letha McClain.

ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE CHEERLEADERS We are very proud of our 1951Cheer- leaders. They have given much time and energy to lead our student body and sports fans in organized cheering. The school spirit which has resulted from their yells has inspired our Red Devils to play their best. Pictured left to right: Marilyn Rigg, Dorothy Wyant, Juanita Stone, and Connie Stevens. Here is an acrobatic pose of our pretty cheerleaders. We think they deserve a lot of praise for their long hours of practice and preparation.

Even without the steam rolling pow- er as teams of previous years, the DEVILS have won the respect and admiration of the fans with their fighting spirit on the gridiron. Coach Johnson was blessed with returning veterans, Sam Hoffman, Joe May, Page John- son, Joe Mantz, Charlie Pelfreyand others. They were victorious over Wurtland, Boyd County, and a stunning upset over the St. Joe Flyers with a score of 31-0. While closing, the Red Devils fought several hard battles. One in particular, being the strong Catlettsburg Wildcats to the score of 27-7. This season marked the end for five Sen- iors. Joe Mantz, Co-captain, was our hard fighting fullback who played hard rocking and socking football and also handled the quarter back duties when duty called. Joe suffered a broken arm during tne season but refused to let that stand in his way. He played with all his heart in every game and won state honors. He let the load slip off his shoulders after the East-West game where he starred for both of- fense and defense. Charlie Pelfrey-better known as the De- mon , was rated by many coaches and news- paper menas the best quarter back in Eastern FOOTBALL We Russell - 25 Russell - 20 Russell - 7 Russell - 14 Russell - 6 Russell - 7 Russell - 7 Russell - 31 Kentucky. His speed, fine passing, and smooth ball handling made him a constant threat. The triple threat gridder was placed on the N. E. K. C. team, and also won a birth on the all-county East Team where he ended his gridiron career in a blaze of glory. Page Johnson helped make this team com- plete. The ability of big, flank, man to head his fellow players and hold the team together won him the honor of Co-captain during the 1950 season. Page was hampered with injuries all season but played hard ball every minute of the game. He was placed on the County team and ended his career at the end position by pulling in a long pass. Russell Menshouse, our tall end who saw action during the season, proved his ability to make the ball club. His determination to make good has encouraged many boys to go on playing the game. JohnBennet, remembered as Big John , held down the left tackle pass during the season and possessed the ability to hold his own. The agile tackle ended his gridiron career with the East team. John leaves a big hole on the left side of the line. Returning to next years squad will be Sam Hoffman, Joe May, Bob Bennett, Bob Harris, Bob McKenzie, Jim Tennessee Ernie Downs and others.
