Of this group, now the Seniors of 1947. only three of our original class remain. These three are: Yvonne Harris, Jeannine Wylie, and Billy Boy Baker. Our grade school teachers were: first grade Mrs. Louise Stinson. Dale Cole joined us in the second grade with Mrs. Riggs as teacher: Mrs. Minick was third grade teacher: in the fourth grade, Miss Cathlene Gentle was our instructor, and Bobby Joe Willis came into the class. During our fifth year, with Miss Alyne Seal as our teacher, two joined our class, Merle Ary and Wayman Waide. We were double promoted and missed the sixth grade. Mrs. Neppie Burroughs was the seventh grade teacher, and Jeanie Flanagan joined us. Our last year in grade school, under the leadership of Mrs. Sam Mitchell, our number increased by four-- Opal Elrod, Percilla Morris, Douglas Simpson, and Weldon Fellers. In the merry, merry month of May of 1942, we were to-become full-fledged 'Fish' Lt. Mary Haygood of the United States WAC delivered our graduation address. One day in september, 1943, we entered high school, and al- though we were only Freshmen, we ranked high in quality, and had Mrs. Hestline Burroughs as our class sponsor. We welcomed Juanita Hammons and Betty Stanford to our midst. It was during our Sophomore year that Miss Callie Miller was our sponsor and Betty Marshall joined our class. The high point of the year came with our volleyball team winning first place in County and District. A number of important things happened in our Junior year. We began having school dances in the gym and the first annual since '41 was published. One thing which shall never be forgot- ten was our Junior trip to Lake Dallas in the back of A.G.

CLASS HISTORY CC9H54l7'IZ!?6!j Schertz's truck. It was a day of fun and enjoyment which shal be remembered forever. One of the big social events taking place this year was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet sponsored by the Juniors, the night club style being used. Mrs. Hilda Cunningham the wit and background of it all, served as sponsor. At last the day came when we entered Sanger High as the traditional, dignified Seniors with Tom Hood and Benny Belz increasing our number. Our first three years in high school were during years of World War II, and as all other individuals and groups, we were of course, affected. So it was with a gay and light heart that we began our senior year with the world once more at peace. We had four new teachers who were: Mr. C.D. Allen, Superintendent and Coach, Mrs. Jerry Lindley, Homemaking, Mrs. Alyne Chastain, English, and Mr. E.C. McMurray, Ag. and Senior sponsor. As we look back over these four years of wonderful high school experiences, we realize that the days of youth are not all preparation for future living, but life lived to its fullest extent today. These, truly, have been happy years.
