During class meetings, which were held bi-monthly in the school auditorium, important decisions were made which led to the success of Graduation. Although these meetings were often taken lightly, each Senior realized that he played a major role in fulfilling a dream that had been instilled within the class on the first day as freshmen at Southwest. 42

Jrom memories of the DEG 3 2 In the fall of 1958 the class of '61 became acquainted with Southwest High School. It was the beginning of a new and different school-life for us, but it was not too long until we all became a part of it. An important occasion during our Freshman year was the dedication of the athletic field in memory of George T. Moody. One of the highlights of the year was the Christmas Dance. This was important to us because Julia Messick, a representative of our class, was crowned as Christmas Queen. Although there were many happy occasions, our hearts were made sorrowful when Jim McMillan, one of our classmates, was taken from us. We all missed Jim and his glowing personality. In 1959 we were Sophomores! We were still underclassmen, but we were acquainted with the fact that we were high school students now. We had met many new friends and were beginning to enjoy a few of the extra-curricular activities offered to us. There were no outstanding honors bestowed upon our classmates, but we can say that we were more accustomed to high school. In our Junior year we were becoming a little more important. Georgia Marshall represented our class well as Vice - President of the Student Body. Officers of our Junior Class who did a very outstanding job were Jim Mechum, President; Judy Hardin, Secretary; Linda Nichols, Treasurer; and Lynn Harper, Carol Jean Hale, Byron Seagraves, Mimi Jones, and Sandra Ayers, Vice-Presidents. These students worked extremely hard as our Class planned and prepared the Junior- Senior Prom at the Robert E. Lee Hotel under the direction of Miss Snow, Miss Lennon, Mrs. Butner, Mrs. Shorter, and Mr. Robinson, our Junior Class sponsors. Twelve of our Junior classmates were chosen by the seniors to act as marshals for the graduation exercises. Those students who were chosen were Judy Hardin and Lindsay Watkins, Co-Chiefs; Mike Beauchamp, Vicky Brown, Clay Furches, Georgia Marshall, Jim Mechum, Julia Messick, Eddie Powell, Byron Seagraves, Ann Steelman,and Marianne Wiggs. Judy Hardin's citizenship and character were certainly revealed as she was presented the D.A.R. Award. Jackie Boyer, an outstanding wrestler, received a trophy for state championship. Jackie represented our class well in that way. Among the good things there are always some heartbreaking occasions. Wilma Adams was taken from us during our Junior year. We missed her sweet attitude and her friendly smile. 1961 finally rolled around. We were Seniors at last! Officers of our Senior class who began working on ideas for the class were President, Mike Beauchamp; Secretary, Sandra Ayers; Treasurer, Barbara Parker; Vice-Presidents, Darlene Hickman, Ann Steelman, Donald Cecil, Tommy Edwards, Byron Seagraves, and Lindsay Watkins. Two of our senior class projects were the presentation of the traditional Christmas program and the Senior class play under the direction of Miss Swaringen. Other Senior sponsors who assisted our class in every way possible were Miss Cook, Miss Farthing, Mrs. Bonnie Green, Miss Lennon, and Mr. Triplett. Barbara Parker, Marianne Wiggs, and Jo Cooksey represented our class well during our Senior year. Barbara was elected Homecoming Queen, Marianne elected as Christmas Queen, and Jo was chosen as Valentine Sweetheart. Judy Hardin was chief cheerleader and Carol Renegar was chief majorette during their Junior and Senior years. They both did an outstanding job. Those students who represented our class as student body officers were Julia Messick, President; Vicky Brown, Secretary; and Linda Nichols, Treasurer. Also Jackie Casey did a tremendous job as editor of the ILIAD, and Bill Nifong was a very successful editor of the 'Odyssey.'' These were many of the thrilling and exciting events occuring during our Senior year. Our goal was almost completed. Class Day Officers who were elected by the Senior class were Linda Nichols, Don Bowman, Testators; Judy Hardin, Byron Seagraves, Prophets; Julia Messick, Lindsay Watkins,Historians. Glenda Locklear and Bill Jarvis were elected to write the Class Poem, and Linda Henning and Andy Buchanan wrote the Class Song. A red and white carnation was chosen as the class flower, and the colors chosen were crimson and ivory. Although our high school years were coming to an end and memories of the past beganto fade, many exciting events took place. These consisted of Kids' Day, the Senior Class picnic, Baccalaureate Sermon, and last, but definitely not least, our Graduation. We were all going into different phases of life in many different places, but we all had the same goal, to be a success in life. JULIA MESSICK LINDSAY WATKINS Historians 43
