61444 ln the autumn of 1956, excited me mbers of the Class of 1960 took a giant step in preparation for future standing among ,their fellow men. After slight confusion during the opening days,the class settled down to the newness of the high school routine. Many new friendships developed, and many students participated actively in the o r g a n i z ati o ns and activities of the new Southwest High School. Many boys, boasting of their fleet-footedness, had opportunity to put their skill to good use as the first annual Sadie Hawkins Day Race appealed to many members of the Freshman Class. At the beginning of the tenth-grade year, Kay VanDoeren and MontyMatthews took the honors in the first ping-pong to urn am ent, as this new element appeared on the scene. During this year the Junior Varsity basketball team brought home the first basketball championship. One of the outstanding events in the Sophomore year was the dedication of the athletic field in memory of George T. Moody. Organization of the Junior Class was accomplished early in the year with the election of the class officers, President, Jon Reynolds 3 Vice-President, Richard Vitek, Gary Barney, Perry Harper, Nancy Knott, and Mary Lou Perryman, Sec- retary, Glenda Vogler, and Treasurer, N orvell Gross. Miss Snow, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Russell, Mrs. Butner, and Mrs. Simmons were the loyal and hard-working sponsors.Foremost among the many problems was the acquisition of financial support for the presentation of the Junior-Senior Prom. Due to the total effort of the Junior Class, the formal aff air, themed Sophisticated Swing, was labeled a success. Helping to alleviate the problems which were encountered at the 1959 commencement exercises were Junior Mar- shals, Richard Vitek and Kay VanDoeren, Co-Chiefs, Doris Lawson, Gary Barney, Judy Turner, Bill Sides, Glenda Vogler, Jon Reynolds, Jane Frye, and Norvell Gross. Bringing additional honor to the Junior Class was Mary Lou Perryman, who was presented with the DAR award, which is based on citizenship and character. The closing chapter of high school life began under the direction of the Senior Class officers, Norvell Gross,President, Steve Tilley, Dodd Linker, Gary Peacock, and David Shelton, Vice-Presidents, Kay Van.Doeren, Secretary, and Glenda Vogler, Treasurer. Working with these competent officers were our sponsors, Miss Cook, Miss Adams, Miss Farthing, and Mrs. Russell. Other prominent positions in student leadership were held by Richard Vitek, President of the Student Body, Judy Turne r, Secretary of the Student C ounc i 15 Odell Shields, Editor of the Odyssey , and Judy Mock, Editor of TI-IE ILIAD. One of the highlights of the Senior year was the crowning of Kay VanDoeren as the 1959 Homecoming Queen. Other important activities were the election of Class Day officers, superlatives, and mascots. Scarlet and ivory were chosen as the class colors, with the red rose as the class flower. Members of the Senior Class who brought honor to themselves and to the class by being chosen for the National Honor Society were Kay VanDoeren, Jon Reynolds, Ann Alsobrook, Janice Conrad, Ruth Taylor, Richard Vitek, Judy Mock, Norvell Gross, Judy Turner, Glenda Vogler, Vivian Sloan, Mary Katherine McMillan, David Shelton, and Nancy Knott. The final chapter consisted of pages filled with me mori es of Class Day, Kids' Day, Senior Class picnic, and the Baccalaureate Sermon. As these events fade into the past, this chronicle comes to a close with each member of the class, now as an indi- vidual, realizing that his future accomplishments are dependent upon his past experiences, opportunities, and the ac- ceptance of guidance from those who led him. 72
