Senior Class History It was the fall of 1958 and the beginning of a new experience for all who were taking their first steps into the realm of high school. That first year was exciting. Carolyn Craver, a representative of our class, was crowned Homecoming Queen and later that year, Valentine Sweetheart, As Freshmen, we felt this was a great honor! When the 1959-60 school year approached, we realized that, though still underclassmen, we were at least one step higher to our final goal. We were glad once again to be with the now old friends that we had made the preceding year. Southwest had become familiar to us, and many of our classmates were active participants in the extracurricular activities. This year for the first time Southwest had an organized Sophomore class. Our officers were as follows: Presi - dent, Wayne Burkette; Vice-Presidents, Frankie Vaught, Roger Jones, Bob Brewer, Mike Hauser, Snookey Everhart, and Luena Garrison; Secretary, Jane Crater; Treasurer, Karen Gunderson. Then we were Juniors! Unbelievingly we were upperclassmen, but along with this title there were many responsi - bilities. Our class was led by Snookey Everhart, President; Frances Peters, Frankie Vaught, Larry Dull, Jane Martin, and Ronnie Harper, Vice-Presidents; Karen Gunderson, Secretary; and Jane Crater, Treasurer. With able leaders and the help of our sponsors, Mrs. Butner, Mr. Robinson, Miss Snow,Mrs. Lytton, and Mrs. Robinson, we completed our class project of selling Southwest jackets and scarves. Using the money made from this project, we successfully carried out our plans for the Junior-Senior Prom, held at the Moose Lodge. The theme for the dance was April in Paris. Four outstanding honors were bestowed to members of our class. Judy Lutz was elected Vice-President of the student body. Arthur Holshouser was named to the All-Conference team in football. Margaret Pilcher was named to the All- Conference basketball team. We were also pleased that Jane Crater won the D.A.R. award, which is based on citizen- ship and character. Working with the Senior class during graduation exercises were these fourteen Junior Marshals: Carolyn Craver and Ronnie Harper, Co-Chiefs; Judy Lutz, Bobby Wall, Donna Davis, Mike Hauser, Gaynelle Martin, Richard Harper, Deanna Sprinkle, Jerry Mock, Frankie Vaught, Kermit Essex, Jane Crater, and Snookey Everhart. At long last we reached our Senior year. With the help of our officers, Ronnie Harper, President; Frankie Vaught, Elizabeth Wolfe, Larry Dull, Bobby Wall, Vice-Presidents; Phyllis Woosley, Secretary; Luena Garrison, Treasurer; and our sponsors, Miss Cook, Miss Swaringen, Mrs. B. Green, Mrs. Russell, and Miss Farthing, we made the necessary plans for our Senior activities. Class day officers were as follows: Historians, Luena Garrison and Richard Narper; Prophets, Judy Jones and Robert Reed; Testators, Maryellen Robertson and Bob Brewer; Poet, Louise Dunn; Songwriters, Katherine Bailey and Eddie Flowers. We chose the carnation as our class flower and titian red and ivory as our class colors. The other prominent offices held by our classmates were Editor-in-Chief of the ILIAD, Susan Reynolds; Editor of the ODYSSEY , Judy Jones; President of the student body, Snookey Everhart; Chief cheerleader, Jane Crater; Chief majorette, Gaynelle Martin. In addition, we were quite proud that Linda Smith was elected Homecoming Queen. In December of our Senior year, we presented the traditional Christmas program under the direction of Betty Hall. As the last pages were turned, they were filled with unforgettable events and fond memories of the class picnic, baccalaureate sermon, and the final goal, graduation. The past experiences and opportunities will remain a part of our lives, and we will ever be grateful to those who have helped and guided us on our way. LUENA GARRISON RICHARD HARPER Historians 41
