For the first six years we were not together as one class, but after graduating from our respective grammar schools, we were united in one seventh grade at ,lunior High School. Here we were the underclassmen for one year. During this year we became acquainted with homerooms, hour classes, and changing periods. The next year we were the dominant eighth graders. How we enjoyed it! A great change occurred the following year. Instead of being the mighty seniors of Junior High we became the lowly freshmen of Senior High. But to be a part of Senior High was swell! Our time began to be occupied with athletic events, studies, and club meetings. How we idolized the seniors! The time we would be seniors seemed far distant. Our Sophomore year found us a little more mature and more accustomed to the high school life. lt pleased us no end to have a class beneath us. Gradually we began to realize our four years in high school would not last forever. When our ,lunior year rolled around, we became an organized class under the sponsor- ship of Miss Kathleen Crow. We elected the following officers to lead our class: President, Henry Higgins, Vice-President, Shem Black- leyg Secretary, ,lack Whisnantg Treasurer, Patsy Bland. As a means of making money we sold the concessions at the ball games and sponsored the Mikado and the Talent Show. The officers and the entire class worked extra hard to give the Seniors a memorable Junior- Senior. The affair was a great success-ao claimed the best ever given at Shelby High. Our Junior year ended June 17. At this time we saw the class of 1949 graduate and realized that in one year we would have the same experience. School reopened in September and we found ourselves, ninety-six in number, the seniors of Shelby 'High School. The year that had seemed so far in the future was actually at hand. This was the last lap of our high school career. To serve us as leaders along with our class sponsor, Miss Dorothy King, we elected these students: Dick Lackey, Presi- dent, Patsy Bland, Vice-President, ,lack Whis- nant, Secretary, ,lo Willis, Treasurer. Knowing the annual was to be presentedto the school by the senior class, we elected a capable staff with Larry Champion, Editor-in Chief and Miss Dorothy King, advisor. The staff has worked hard and they hope they have produced a yearbook that will be a credit to the school and to the class of 1950. Under the directorship of Miss Winifred Fellers the senior play was presented. All the time and work spent in its preparation was worth while as it was well received. It proved our class has dramatic ability as well as team- work. lt took the combined work of the director, the characters, and the committees to produce the play. Now we are practically ready to leave Shelby High. Perhaps we are not quite so happy about the coming graduation as we once thought we would be. Actually we are a little sentimental as we think of the things we leave when we graduate from Shelby High. We will miss attending and taking part in the various athletic events as a part of the school. Throughout our high school career we have prided ourselves on our excellent football, basketball, and baseball teams. We will re- member the halls, lockers, activity, classes, assemblies, teachers, classmates - all that makes up S. H. S. However, we feel that it is time for us to leave Shelby High School as a part of our past-an important part we will not forget. For four years we have been students in the school. Shelby High has meant much to us and will continue to mean the same after we have graduated. May we the class of 1950 be a credit to our Alma Mater by holding high her standards. Carolyn Moore, Historian CLASS PRUPIIECY As the balmy air stirred slightly across the airfield, causing little whirlpools of dust to twist upward, and as the enervating rays of the sun bore down unmercifully on the huge mechanism, my heart beat fast and hard with the anticipation of the event soon to be un- folded. The airospeed plane was ready for its test Hight with me as the only passenger. ls it too soon, too risky, to try such an experi- ment? Perhaps lid better postpone this trip until tomorrow. But wait! With a jerk and sputter from the eight engined jet airospeed I was shooting through the stratosphere at an unrecordable speed. A crack of thunder, a streak of light- ning, and then-darkness! A voice from the clouds broke the dead silence saying, 'LThis is the course of the future-the year 1960.77 That was all. Cautiously looking out the window, l stared with amazement. 'aElect Trusty Henry Higgins President posters were being plastered over the entire City of Washington by campaign manager Hugh Miller. The election was re- ceiving write-ups in the You Read It Daily, founded and edited by John Washburn. Busi- ness manager Alton Arrowood was rushing society editor Patsy Stubbs on her article covering the elaborate dinner given by social- ite Mary Stone, honoring Elease Dean and Justice Jenkins, stars of Broadway's newest musical. Leaving this fair city, I peered wistfully out the window hoping to see more of my classmates, but, alas, our machine, lost in the future, must search for the present. The towering skyscrapers, the scurrying people warned me that I was approaching the great metropolis of New York. Directly before me stood the Whisnant Edifice, tallest in the world, named for its owner J ack Whisnant. Architect Bill Ellis and contractor Willis Proctor amazed everyone by their seemingly impossible performance. Manager Bill Bass had just rented a studio to Eloise Jarrett, world-renowned beauty, who was opening a modeling school. Her first students were Carolyn Moore and Blanche Rainey. Also in the building was MThe Fashion Book , a dress shop owned by the Tugman twins. As the plane sailed on, I began looking forward to the next place of investigation. Chicago, the windy city, was even more Windy from the heated debates between the two umadw scientists, Benn Drum and Norman Gold, over whether or not to introduce the chemical combination effecting perpetual youth. Molly Newton, famous soprano, with her accompanist Louise Bumgardner, had been given the key to the city by Mayor, Iimm W lker. Don Wright, recently named G Outstanding Citizen of the Year , by Lions Club president Sammy Wilson, had expressed his appreciation of music by making a sizable donation to the Community Concert Associa- tion, headed by Mary Louise Harbison. Slipping through the feathery clouds, the airship passed slowly enough over the Uni- versity of Texas to let me see coaches Dick Lackey and Benny Allen putting their boys through a few rigorous drills. Professor Ray Lutz, head of the mathematics department, seemed to be having difficulty keeping his pupils awake during class. Librarian Carolyn Washburn was diligently working on a display for the books '4My Experience in Arty by ,Io Willis and uMy Trip Through the Congow, by explorer Bill Smith. On the beach of sunny Florida I saw magnesium millionaire Shem Blackle akin his annual ,three months? vacation. nventor Wallace Horne was slowly going insane trying to find a new method for delivering telegrams, while his nurse Audrey Garrett tried to keep him calm with a double dose of medicine prescribed by Dr. Falls. After a sudden drop, swift and steep, the plane stopped abruptly.

Whatever the task, the marshals do their duty, putting school first. To serve is their pleasure. The marshals are chosen by the faculty for their dependability, loyalty, pleasing personality, and poise. They are the school's publicity agents and thus are an indis- pensable part of the Shelby High School. Henry Higgins ......,.... ..,............
