Sanger High School - Golden Warrior Yearbook (Sanger, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1956 volume:

Foreword We, the Senior Class of '56, wish to express our grateful appreciation to the advertisers who have made it possible for us to have a yearbook in which to preserve memories of our school days. In compiling this annual we have made an effort to capture a few of the highlights of school life that might bring pleasant memories at a later date. We hope that you enjoy this book, the Peace Pipe”, as much as we do. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1955-56 We. the Senior Class of 1956, wish to dedicate this Sanger School Annual, the Peace Pipe , to two wonderful people, Miss Ina Grace Holt, our class sponsor, and Miss Callie Miller, a wonderful teacher. When we were in need of advice concerning school work or personal problems, Miss Holt was always ready to lend a helping hand. She has helped us overcome many difficulties, has invested hours of work and sacrifice for the students of Sanger High, and hashelped us in attaining the rankof graduates. As a token of appreciation of MissCallie, whose loyalty and interest are one with ours, whose friendship is ever genuine, whose sympathy is sincere, whose patience is endless, and whose unstinted service and loyalty are forever an inspiration, we will always remember her. To these two wonderful people, we dedicate this annual. The Annual Staff Congratulations to the Peace Pipe Staff for providing us such an interesting book. Grateful thanks to the members of the faculty and the students for laying sure foundations in Student Government and School Spirit upon whic succeeding groups may build even better. May you remember with me this happy year in the Sanger Schools all the days of your life. With highest personal regards, 1 am. Very truly yours, Wilson As years come and go, as one generation supplants another, we realize more and more the importance of the great heritage that one generation gives to another. The 1956 edition of the Sanger High School Annual is an attempt on the part of the Sponsors and Staff to picture the activities and personalities of the generation. It is our hope that this book will preserve the memories and efforts of a people trying to gain experiences, knowledge and culture that will help them to live better and serve more in a Democratic Society.

We got along fine in this first grade; we were all so innocent and amazed at going to school. In our first - grade we had approximately 36 members. We still have eight of our original first-grade members. They are: Miry Jo Golliday, Douglas Amyx, Don Amyx, Edith Howard, Clyde Yeatts, Joe Higgs. Virginia Anderson, and Maribelle Ward. This grade was new to us, and we felt some gratefulness for being a part of it. As time passed, we learned it was turning from � n honor to a task to get our lessons, but we don't believe that any would have missed them. It was, after all, being part of a class. We collected various ones of our remaining members during the following years. The list does not include the ones that have left our school. The first one to join us was Janice Spratt, who was promoted at mid-term to the second-grade from the first. A1 Keith was next as he enrolled at mid-term in the third. As we entered the fourth-grade. Wayne Bowery joined us. Our next additions came in the seventh when Jane Crider and Jerry Rater joined us. While we were in the fourth-grade, we lost one of our members. Max Cole, by an accident. Our seventh year of school was one that we remember most. We were reaching m iturity, as we thought, and we decided to show this by yelling, eraser fights, and such traits. Also, inour seventh-grade, we took a trip to San Antonio for a Texas History field trip. We had a great time. We passed to our eighth-grade and grade-school graduation. Most of us were thoroughly convinced by now that we were completely adult human beings and ready for any task. But as the days passed, we were known to all the teachers as the noisiest and most unco-operative class in school. Our class meetings were a free-for-all. We had not even heard of parliamentary procedure until we were seniors, and then it was too late to change, so our meetings continued to have a confused atmosphere. During our Freshman year, we underwent the usual initiations and suffered growing pains all through the year. As Sophomores, we changed quite a bit. We began dating more steadily and assuming additional responsibilities. During our Junior year, we had the usual tasks; The Junior-Senior banquet, reception, and such things. It was during this year that we accumulated our last two class members - Virginia Odom and Betty Burns. Virginia and Betty caught us by attending summer school. Donald Harper has been in-and-out of our class since we were Sophomores. Don was goiugback-and-forth to Gonzales taking treatments for polio. We have enjoyed having Don in our class. He is one of our best sports and ranks fifth highest in the class. Now that we have finally climbed the ladder and ready to graduate, we are both happy and sad. It is time to say goodbye. At this time it wouldn't be complete to pass up Mr. Wilson, who is our sponsor this year and whohas helped in many ways. As a finalfarewell, we cannot forget our most-loved teacher. She was our sponsor during our Freshman year. While we were in the tenth - grade she tried to teach us American History. During our Senior year she taught us Civics and was again our sponsor. We salute Miss Ina Grace Holt.
