Tarrant High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Tarrant, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1954 volume:

Say it with mas—ic won—der—jul Mas—ic Foreword In this book we on the annual staff have tried to give you a glance backward at your life for the past year. We hope that as you re-envision these scenes, you realize that these pleasures have been yours because of the aspirations and ideals which teachers and students of former years have bequeathed to the school, and thus to you. Let this legacy inspire you with the will to attain higher standards, with the desire for wisdom, and with the school spirit which will make Tarrant High School go down as an honored name in history. When years have passed and you again leaf through your 1954 Wildcat, recalling your wonderful school days, may the sight of old friends’ faces bring back memories that are as sweet as a haunting melody. May this book remind you of the laughter and the tears that were a part of the good old days at Tarrant High School. Dedication MRS. J. G.

We trod these halls with little care Of what might lie beyond the stair. We danced, we laughed, we sang, we played; And by our tasks were not dismayed. Could we but have seen the way That hourly beckoned day by day! We were sternly shown the way. That life was more than merely play. That we had duties to perform. Greater tasks to be bom: That guidance that was daily ours— Weary and dreary though oft the hours— Will lead us o’er the straightest path By which to mold our aftermath. -PATRICIA CAMP Oftftbrr W.

As the year began, we reviewed the past and noted the following faets: In 1950. we enrolled as freshmen numbering 90. We participated in activities bail games, pep rallies, club drives, and Dramatic Club productions. We ended the freshman year with the hope of becoming the best sophomore class that Tarrant had ever known. In September, 1951. the sophomore class was increased to 190 by students from Pinson, Fairmont. Palmerdale, Lewisburg. and Springdale. We started work with a bang, leaving time, of course, for participation in clubs and other activities. During the following summer the auditorium was painted, and the construction of the new lunchroom and library, which was donated by the city government, was begun. September 5, 1952. found 172 juniors enrolling with high hopes of achievement. After the Christmas holidays we moved into the new lunchroom, and soon afterwards the new library was opened for use. Both teachers and students enjoyed the five new classrooms made from the old library and lunchroom. Enrollment in courses in mathematics showed an upward surge. Participation in oratorical contests also increased. Many junior boys won places on the baseball, football, and basketball teams. One of the highlights of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom at Highland Park Country Club, considered by all ns the most beautiful social function the school had ever given. Twenty-two juniors were tapped for membership in the National Honor Society. As seniors we have realized the importance of school and tried to take advantage of every opportunity. In a short time we organized the class, chose flowers, colors, motto, and started plans for the annual, ordered rings, attended football games, paraded for the homecoming game, and left a little time for studying. We made reports, wrote themes, and gave reports for economics. We also answered questions in the Quiz 'Em on the Air programs, winning three out of four contests. I have collected some frivolous and descriptive data on our class. The favorite beauty has blond hair and blue eyes; football is the favorite sport: the ages of the students range from sixteen to twenty-one; ambitions range from being a secretary to owning the Empire State Building: the favorite food is chicken: shoe size ranges from 4VI to 12. If we were stretched out full length, our total height would reach from Tarrant City to Springdale: if we were going on u picnic, it would lake seven one-ton trucks to carry us. This is not the last chapter of life for us because we have been only children so far. but when we receive our diplomas in May we shall step into a world of adult life. We hope that we shall fill our places in the world with honor to ourselves, our teachers, and our school. Miss 7 arrant High School JEAN BRANHAM Selected on tta is of Charactfr. Service to School. Scholarship, Leadership, 1‘opularily Mr. Tarrant High School ROBERT SMITH JEAN BISHOP—Good Citizenship Girl The contest in good citizenship, based on patriotism, service, dependability and leadership, is sponsored in every high school in the state by the D.A.R. Prophecy At the lust senior meeting of the class of '54 it was agreed that ten years after the night of graduation, a reunion would he held at the Tutwiler Hotel in Birmingham.

Katie Mae Long was wrapping our packages when Robert Bowers, the manager, walked by discussing a remodeling job with Douglas Archer, engineer, and Milton Bryant, contractor. Tsianena Ware. Robert's secretary, was following and taking notes on the conversation. We ate our lunch at the Half Moon owned by Sue Moon, where we were hailed by Carlene Levens and Cunningham Crow, now happily married. They had just returned for the reunion from Washington where Cunningham was quarterback for the Washington Redskins. Other professional football players from Washington were Ronald Marcus. Charles Lake, and Lon Crocker, seated at a table with their coach. Tommy Thornhill.

We paid Rosie Nell Crouch, the cashier, and hurried to our appointment at the beauty salon.

Leaving the salon we were greeted by Don Thornhill and Gail Park, photographers for Red Dot Magazine edited by Herman “Red” Ware. Donald England, the advertising manager, had given Don and Gail un assignment of lieauty salons in Birmingham. We returned to our desks at the Birmingham News where we encountered the feature editor.

On ihe trolley, we greeted Bill Strickland, the driver. We passed Blue Terrace where we saw the homes of Wanda Booth Smith, Martha Wiggins Smith. Marian Quick Phillips, Corinne Lolley Smith. Willie Jo Bailey and Margaret Cranford. Stopping at Tarrant High High before returning home, we saw Karl Pickett, the principal, and Jean Bishop. Bryant Crews and Lorene Peoples, teachers. Teachers at the vocational school included Robert Chadwick. Franklin Rector and Gary Goodwin. At last the big night arrived.

Their favorite golf course was owned by Shirley Poe and Helen Motherwell. The grounds had been landscaped by Curtis Goggins. Our conversation was stopped by a comedy skit that Sandra Davis. Johnny Stanford, and Bobby Head were presenting from the stage. After a song by Eva Ann Talley, a dramatic skit began with Robert Wear. Patricia Camp. Charles Stevens. Jack Martin and Shirley Swindai playing the leading roles. Wandering through the crowd after the entertainment was over, we met Curtis Henderson, quiz-master for the Quiz Kids, Marion Hewitt, famed midget racing driver. Louis Baldwin. Marion's publicity agent, and Jimmy Butler, emcee for the Grand Old Opry. In a noisy corner we found Raymond Smith practicing his re-election speech for the next year to Dr. Robert Allison. Rev. Edgar Moore, Judge Richard Payne, and Captain James Glass of the Air Force. The next group encountered was David Lolley. James Spigner. and Millard Padgett who had recently invented a rocketship. Edward Foster and Hubert Franklin were to be pilots and Emma Sue Berry was to be the hostess for the new ship. We met millionaires Arthur Leslie and II. Beasley who had each bought a new Cadillac that night from the president of the Cadillac Corporation, Orville Story'. While we ate, we were seated with Willie Mahaffey, successful accountant, and Charles Caudle, sUint man for John Wayne. Kenneth Millar, policeman, and Billy Pointer, electrician, escorted us to the door after we had said good-bye to everybody. We stopped by the Birmingham News Building and wrote our articles concerning the reunion. Afterwards wc rushed home to dream of what ten more years would bring to our classmates.
