Scotts Hill High School - Lion Yearbook (Scotts Hill, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1955 volume:

DEDICATION Because you deny yourself so that we may have that which you did not have; Because you desire for us the higher and finer things of life; Because you understand when all our world goes wrong; Because you love us in spite of our shortcomings; And, because we want to express our love and appreciation, we, the seniors of Scotts Hill High School, dedicate this vol¬ ume of our annual to you-Our Parents.

While in Washington D. C. I visited the Capitol and saw President FRED HAYS and Vice President BARNEY CREASY and also his cabinet which were: MARVIN AVERETT. Secretary of State; JERRY LITTLE, Attorney General; JERRY GOFF, Secretary of Treasury; BILLY RAY STANFILL, Postmaster General; THOMAS TODD. Secretary of Agri¬ culture; and MARY ANN ETHRIDGE, Department of Welfare, Education and Health. Also while in Washington I visited a new department store in down¬ town Washington. I was amazed when I found out its owner was a friend of mine, GOLDIE ALLEN, now Mrs. Odell Barett. While on my trip I saw GLEN WALLACE, the new ball coach at Yale University and JIMMY DURBIN, the Professor of Engineering at Yale. While in Georgia I stopped in Atlanta at a beauty contest and Miss Georgia was no other than my old pal JANE MARTIN. While on the West Coast I saw several of my old friends. They were; PEGGY MITCHELL AND JIMMIE DEAN WYATT in Hollywood. They told me that they had a new movie out, How to Divorce a Poor Man, ” the return of Jane Russell ' s and Marilyn Monroe ' s, How to Marry a Millionaire. While in Los Angeles I saw JOAN SWIFT, now a Home Demonstra¬ tion Agent. While driving on through California I visited JESSIE SUE WHITE. She, her husband, and four lovely children are now making their home in Sunny California. When I returned to my home town I visited LARRY and REBECCA JOHNSON on their lovely plantation just below Scotts Hill. While going through Florida, I stopped at the Sugar Bowl Football Game and heard some mighty good cheerleading. I wondered who the director was and found out it was a former cheerleader of Scotts Hill, MARGARET ANN GOFF. When I went back home to Chicago where I, RANDA BRASHER, am part owner of the Brasher Interprises, my husband, Paul, told me that my secretary JOHNNIE FAYE HAYES had gotten married.

SOPHOMORE We, the Sophomores,entered high school in the summer of 1953 with 46 pupils. We are unfortunate to have only 29 now. We are glad to have in our class two of our high school cheerleaders.

We have enjoyed our four years of associating with fellow students and teachers. And now as we are leaving we hope that there will always be a memory of the 1954-55 graduating class. Throughout our years in high school we have had several members of our class on the girls ' and boys ' basketball team and cheerleaders. Our class officers are: Larry Johnson, President; Glen Wallace, Vice President; Jessie Sue White, Secretary; Mary Ann Ethridge, Treasurer, and Margaret Goff, Reporter.
