CLASS HISTORY Inthefall of 1956, one hundred and fifty-four of us arrived at Stedman from Sunny- side, Cedar Creek, Beaver Dam, and Stedman elementary schools. We were wide-eyed, bewildered, and curious to know what the following year would hold for us. We soon learned that we would be the first to use a new system of changing classes, developed to better prepare eighth grade students for their high school routine. Our patient sponsors were Mr. Peele, Mr. Jones, and Miss Hall, and Mrs. Hubbard. We entered school the following fall as an enlightened group of one hundred and twenty-six freshmen. We found high school activities exciting and different from any- thing we had known. Our sponsors were Mr. Catlett, Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Piland, and Miss Harrington. The class elected the following as officers: President, Wayne Barefoot, Vice-President, Stacy Harris, Secretary, Reba Bullard, and Treasurer, Ted Autry. We had an enjoyable trip to White Lake at the end of our freshman year. The fall of 1958, found us, a group of one hundred and seventeen better prepared students, looking forward to our coming sophomore year. We met our class sponsors who were Mr. Yates, Mr. Giddings, Mr. Cherry, and Mr. Catlett. We soon had a class meeting and elected Jean Strickland, President, Wayne Barefoot, Vice-President, Ava Nunnery, Secretaryg Louise Autry, Treasurer. We were very happy to see thirteen of our students become Beta Club members. We began our Junior year in the fall of 1959, with an enrollment of one hundred students. We elected Tommy Lewis, President, Wayne Barefoot, Vice-President, Ava Nunnery, Secretary, and Lavetta Strickland, Treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Autry, Mrs. Cain, and Mr. Sylivant. We sponsored the hilarious Donkey Basketball Game and the Womanless Pageant as our fund raising projects along with the Junior Play, No Boys Allowed . Some of the class members were honored that year in the following ways: Kay Jackson was chosen F.H.A. Sweetheart, Iris Hall was chosen F.F. A. Chapter Sweetheart, and Bobby Averitt was chosen F.H.A. Chapter King. Seven of our class members were chosen for the Macofitz staff. We were honored to have Ava Nunnery, Carol Ann Vinson, Betty Williams, Annette Bunce, Jean Strickland, Lavetta Strickland, Mary Ours, and the chiefs Amelia Mozingo, Wayne Barefoot, and Tommy Lewis as marshals. The outstanding event of our Junior year was the Junior and Senior Prom. We chose as our theme, Life In the Old South. The big day finally arrived. We entered Stedman School this past fall, Seniors at last. We were very excited to receive our class rings a few days later. We elected Jimmy Carter, President, A.J. Jordon, Vice-President, Becky Faircloth, Secretary, Glenda Gillis, Treasurer. We chose Helen Gillis and David Horne as our mascots. Our sponsors were Mrs. Sills, Mrs. Wells, and Mr. Smith. We dedicated our annual to Mrs. Averitt, school secretary. As the Senior year progresses we look forward with mixed emotions to the experience of attending the Junior-Senior Prom as guests. At the close of this year many of us will part company but the memories we have made as a class will always linger in our hearts.
