Ill 'NIRY - I940-1952 Unlike many future Senior classes, the '52 class was not the least bit timid or frightened as it made its way into the SHS first grade class rooms. Most people agree that even now we have changed only in minor ways. For instance, Gracie McDuffie was taller than Faye Peedin that first eventful year, but weights and heights aren't really the important historical significance of thisdthe l952 gradu- ating class. We learned our A B C's especially fast for a class of our mentality and gradually advanced in the success of our education, Some still have-well not such pleasant memories of Miss Almond's third grade closet, but as a whole we were a civic-minded group Winning the scrap paper drive in the fifth grade and selling candy for the Ped Cross were some of our contributions. With the same unfaltering spirit of our first years we entered our freshman year in the fall of '48, and promised ourselves that we would be the most outstanding class ever to adorn the cap and gown of Selma High. Known for our determination, we haven't failed ourselves of our expectations as yet. Our freshman year was filled with many outstanding events There was the time when l.ib Woodall was elected 'Vice President of the United States on the Country Hick ticket: Of course she first de- feated Stephen Brannan of Civicrats. We also were, and still are, the first class in history to have re- ceived a personal letter from the daughter of the United State's President, The Selma High Freshmen received a letter from MargaretTruman herself in reply to congratulations note sent to her after the victorious election of Mr. Truman as President. Miss Edith Stephenson and Mr, H, V. Payne were our sponsors and Shirley Brown and Bobby Broad- well were marshals. We were at last upper-classmen when we reached our sophomore year. Sponsors were Mrs. Wade Peterson and Mrs. Mary Lou Roberson. Our dramatic ability shone forth in a Halloween Minstrel where we actually made more money than the senior class. lt was a big hit all of us agreedl Several classmates were waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the social calen- dar was topped with a wiener roast at Holt Lake. Bobby Broadwell, Shirley Brown, and Faye Peedin were marshals Our Junior year was cram-packedi' with outstanding happenings. The tacky party after a con- tested magazine campaign was fun-filled evening, climaxed with Catherine Phillips and Stan Stanfield were chosen as winners. Behind the puzzling title, Bolts and Nuts, was the funniest comedy ever to be presented on the SHS stage, This big hit was our Junior Class Play, of course. The Junior-Senior Banquet was really a big affair taking place in the 'lStork Club with an Orches- tra and all the trimmings. Marshals for the year were Shirley Brown, Chief, Bobby Broadwell, Faye Peedin, and Helen Jernigan, Mrs. Wade Peterson and Mrs. John R. Boyd were our sponsors. Surviving the first year of French, Geometry, and all the other junior activities, we finally became seniors, the dignified, with Miss Nan Wilkinson as our sponsor. Our version of The Big Show with Tallulah Bankhead, none other than Sue Massey, was a great success at the Halloween Carnival. We gave the school three officers of the first Student Council ever organized in Selma High, Bobby Broadwell, President, Stan Stanfield, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Shirley Brown, Treasurer. Our class mascots, Flo Price and Doug Creech, have been chosen, and our class is publishing the l952 edition on the Senoca. As this history is written we have yet our last Junior-Senior to attend, our class play is in the future, and we are yet to adorn the cherished SHS cap and gown.
