Spencer High School - Spencerian Yearbook (Columbus, GA)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1957 volume:

(pA ASWJtA... FOREWORD The 1957 Spencerian Staff makes its contribu- tion to the annals of Spencer Senior High through this medium. Days, weeks and months have passed, and the 1956-'57 school year is history. Remembered joys are never past is the under- lying theme of this edition. To recapture memorable events, to present a pictorial and verbal review of Spencer's curriculum, and to paint an indelible pic- ture in the minds of all true Spencerians are our motives. Years may fade into oblivion, but the 1957 graduating class will attest to the fact that the Spen- cerian prevents the possible obscurity of the school year 1956-'57. The past is reviewed with this oft quoted pas- sage: Joys too exquisite to last, and yet more exquisite when past.

Our hearts are filled with gladness as our minds reflect many eventful years here at Spencer Senior High School. We realize as never before the sentiment attached to these noble walls. The purpose of this history is not to relate every step in our progress, but to emphasize our progress and to emphasize those factors in our class development that are most appealing. Four years ago, early one beautiful morning in September, 1953, approximately three hundred and sixty freshmen were welcomed by the principal and faculty of Spencer Senior High School. We were about to join the ranks of the other gallant soldiers who had encamped on the battleground of this great institution. We were the first freshman class to find abode in the new and beautiful Spencer High' School on Shepherd, and what a thrill this was. Students from Claflm, Fifth Avenue and Carver Junior High formed the ranks and ap- peared anxious to become accustomed to the new high school program. It so happened that we had thirteen courageous and interesting teachers. They were: Mr. R. Barnhart, Mr W. Gentry, Mrs. V. Ingersoll, Mrs. R. Harris, Mr. M. Huff, Mrs. D. 0. Thompson, Mrs. E. Gibson, Mr. T. M. Lowe, Miss M Ward, and others. They worked untir- ingly to guide us to victory. Mrs. C B. Ward and Miss E. A. Mack came on the scene in nineteen hundred and fifty-seven to conclude the gallant task. Having been known as Freshmen for only two months, we saw the need for endearing ourselves to upper classmen. A fund raising drive was launched to purchase an organ, and to our great surprise—we highlighted the drive by reporting the largest amount of money. This created high respect for the Freshmen, and we could no longer be pushed around. You can imagine what joy this brought us Another great honor canie toi us when William Hixon was chosen the Top Journalist of the Year, and was the first ,to be awarded a typewriter ♦or his achievement by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Many of the Freshmen showed signs of unusual ability in various fields such as music, art, and athletics, and attained a degree of prowess in each The months passed swiftly and before we knew it, final examinations overtook us and caused many of our soldiers to fall by the wayside. With the coming of September 1954 we received the name of Sophomores, owing to an advance in rank. Remembering how we had been scorned the previous year, we adopted the same attitude toward the incoming strangers who took their place as Freshmen. The routine of the classroom was now familiar to us we found studying easier than before. The talents discovered the previous year were developing rapidly, and as Sophomores we took our rightful place among the other students. We continued to push onward and up- ward. In the third year, September, 1955, found us Juniors, owing to an old educational cus- tom and promotion made our sense of importance increase out of all due proportion. This was a year of hard work We had striven to endear ourselves to teachers and students and there was a genuine feeling of friendship throughout the school Many had left our ranks, but with enthusiasm and high hopes for the future we struggled on. Early in the year we began to make plans for our Junior-Senior Prom. We must admit that this was a gold occasion for all of us and one long to be remembered. Our Junior year also found us with Miss Green Wave's second attendant, Sarah Powell. This was an unusual honor. On our final lap m the four gallant march, we discovered that only one hundred and sixty-nine remained. However, we who stuck were more fortunate than our lagging friends and our teachers regarded the result of their four years of hard labor with rightful pride. Carrie Ross was chose Miss Greenwave of 1956-57, and many of our athletes won honors Our sponsors decreased to s.x. They are: Mrs. E. G.bson, Mr. W. Gentry, Mr. R. Barnhart Mrs. C. B. Ward, Mr. T M Lowe, Miss E. A. Mack. The fatal hour has arrived. The curtain is about to fade, and we who emerge victorious- ly will look back with pride as we recall with fond memories our four pleasant years at Spencer Senior High School SENIOR OFFICERS NAPOLEON MORRIS, President CARRIE ROSS Secretary BERNARD BLAIR Treasurer MARY AND MARTHA BRINSON Reporters CECIL WILLIAMS Chaplain ADAMS, HENRY G.

The battle is half over, The victory almost won; Tis like finding a four-leaf-clover, The work that we have done. In 1953 we came as Freshmen With eagerness to learn; And a new look on everything, Yes, each was full of concern. We began four years ago, Striving for this goal; Like the man with the hoe. Who was digging for gold. But we didn't give up, Though the road was hard; We each filled our cup, And we do thank God. In the year of 1954, As time was moving on; Each became a Sophomore, With hope for gaining more. Those who wanted to succeed, Continued to strive; And became Juniors indeed, For the year of 1955. Teachers, Principal, and Parents, Who have worked so hard; We have come thus far, With your prayers and God. For those who remained, Became Seniors in 1956, And though it sometimes rained, We each did stick. Now it's almost here, The clock has moved around; For beginning this year, Each will stand his ground. We are going our way, To do our best; And we'll forever pray, For all of the rest. Good Bye, Old Spencer, Dear Old Spencer, Good Bye; We'll cherish you always, Our beloved Spencer (High. BOBBIE L.

Spearheading the attack were such Seniors as Co-Capt. Oliver Ware, Capt. Robert Spencer, Co-Capt. Glov- er Jones, Arthur Glover, Robert Jack- son, Robert Johnson, Bernard Blair, Napoleon Morris, Walker Alexander, and Henry Adams. f FOOT ROBERT JOHNSON The offensive line featured Na- poleon Morris and Bernard Blair who have well earned the title roving re- porters. Making their breakaways like buffaloes across the plains were offensive backs Arthur Glover, Rob- ert Jackson, and Robert Spencer. State BALL ARTHUR The defensive line featured two two-hundred pounders, Robert John- son and Co-Capt. Glover Jones, gain- ing immobility at the latter half of the season. The ends featured Walker Alexander, a rugged playmaker, and Henry Adams. ROBERT JACKSON Champs r' With the aid of these Seniors, the Greenwave had one of the best sea- sons in a brief span. There are echoes throughout the state about Spencer Senior High being the King- pins of the Georgia AA Conference. May this singular honor encourage future Greenwave aggregations that the top of the ladder is always with- in reach. STATE CHAMPIONS ... A MOST EXQUISITE JOY IN OUR ANNUALS.
