CLASS HISTORY ln the fall of 1950, a strange caravan started on the long journey through Shady Grove High School. This caravan was drawn by thirty-one strong, and able-bodied mules. Crack- the the whip over this wild gang was Mr. Frank Hardin, Helping him hold the reins were Bud Jones, Kermit Bailey, and Frances Ratledge, Our journey was successful with the biggest struggle being the Halloween King and Queen. Our candidates were king, Bud Jones, queen, Marie Allen, and attendant, Frances Ratledge. When the team met in 1951 to be hitched up for another year's work, we found only twenty-four of our team were present, Billy Potts, Helen Hege, Bud Jones, Nell Spry, Edera Robertson, and Betty Tucker were the teammates who found it too hard to carry the load that was before them, This year our gang seemed tamer when Miss Frances Parsons crack- ed the whip. Helping to keep the team steady were Gilbert Holder, Barbara Potts, Frances Ratledge, and Lynda Vogler as class officers. Miss Parsons proved to be a grand leader when we elected our Halloween candidates who were king, Kenny Burton, queen, Gelene Jolly, and attendant, Frances Ratledge, We worked hard to win, but others were more de- termined so we came in with second place. I With a weiner roast at Biltmore Dairies and a Christmas party at the community building, this year proved to be a real success. The team was aware of its added responsibility when in the fall of 1952, we were hitched up for thejourney through our Junior year, At roll call we found that, Patsy Barney, Gilda Foster, Rosia Myers, Felix Jones, and Bobby Barney, were missing because the way proved too hardforthem. The official holder ofthe whip this year was Mrs, William Haynes. Her able assistants were Henry Hendrix, Glenn Potts, Frances Ratledge, and Lynda Vogler. To start the caravan rolling, we elected our candidates for Halloween, king, Gilbert Holder, Queen, Peggy Cornatzer, and attendant, Reta Owens. The next important event of this year was the presentation of two one-act plays, 1tchin to get Hitched and Rootin for Ruth. We were proud of the way our teammates each did his share to make these plays a suc- cess. ln April of 1953 came the highlight of the Junior year, The Junior-Senior Banquet. After much work and discussion about this occasion we finally settled down in the State Room of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. We had decided on The Gay Ninties as our theme and this was carried out in the program and in the decorations. We were thoroughly de- lighted with this gala occasion. The close of this fun-filled and work-packed year was when the team triumphantly carried the daisy chain for the seniors of 1953. When the fall of 1953 rolled around, we found there were twenty teammates instead of the nineteen who had disbanded in May, Billy Myers was the one who was added to our team, Mrs. J. D. Parker Jr., as usual, cracked the whip over the senior class. The first load the team carried was the responsibility of the annual. Miss Hall proved very capable of helping to make our annual a success. Also each senior put forth an effort to make the the Outlook the best ever, Our first action was to elect Henry Hendrix, Glenn Potts, and Frances Hartman as leaders for the twelfth grade, As usual, the first battle this year was working to win the Halloween king and queen, Our candidates this year were: King, Glenn Potts, queen, Lynda Vogler, and attendant, Barbara Potts, We were all overjoyed when our team won with 264,7O. Then came the gay season of Christmas time and the seniors gathered at the home of Mrs, Parker for a real fun-filled party. Seems as if Christmas Holidays were no more than over when we began thinking about our trip to Washington which took placein May, The senior play was the next thing we began to work on and our teammates performed won- derful when the play was given. Next came graduation which everyone had looked forward to with great anxiety, But as our-journey through S,G.H.S. came to a close, there were sighs and sorrows because our team had to disassemble and travel into the different paths of life, but each one felt that with the many ups and downs our journey had been prosperous and successful. f- Barbara Potts ' Historian f'5 f' r 1' ily!!
