Tarrant High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Tarrant, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1955 volume:

I MR. G. A. MITCHELL B.S., A.B., M.A., L.L.B. Superintendent THE WILDCAT V Class of 1955 ARRANT HIQH SCIIOO .............. - ' - FOREWORD combination of ideals which have enabled us to achieve a high scholastic standard. These ideals are the result of the hopes, the efforts, and the spirit of teachers and students who have bequeathed to us the will to attain still higher standards, the desire for increased wisdom, and the determination to keep and to elevate that spirit which is Tarrant High. We, the class of 1955, leave to you this annual with the sincere hope that in the years to come as you turn through its pages again to those years which were once ours at Tarrant High, you will remember its teachers, its students, its ideals and the poems which influenced them, helping to guide our footsteps through this experience. We, the senior class of 1955, proudly dedicate this annual to our devoted coach and loyal friend, Mr. Howard R. Foote, in recognition of his untiring efforts in promoting a better sports program for our school. ALMA MATER Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Here's our praise to you! Guide art thou in youthful school days, Banner, Gold and Blue. Hail to Tarrant, hail our high school! 'Tis the name we love. With the Gold of light around her, Blue of truth above. Hail thy children now and ever, Who shall come to thee! May our hearts in love united Faithful always be. Raise your voices, swell the chorus. Sing of Gold and Blue; Alma Mater, we adore thee, And we'll aye be true. Public education is the foundation for a democracy and the American high school is one of its finest training agencies. This l� ook is a wonderful example of teamwork and cooperation which, I believe, has furnished a real educational and democratic experience for the staff and has also helped build school spirit and morale for the entire student body. Tarrant High Bl ol is steadily improving because of the fine spirit of cooperation demonstrated by this and other classes. FACULTY Work!

HISTORY September of 1951 marks the beginning of a new era in high schools throughout America. On this date, a group of 125 ninth graders enrolled at Tarrant High School, eager to learn and to participate in the activities of a student body of 596 boys and girls. They soon settled down to nine months of hard work, study, and the pleasures of associating with one another, and became adjusted to hour-long periods. Finally vacation arrived but passed too swiftly, and September was here again. At the beginning of the school year of 1952 a small army of children entered Tarrant High as sophomores. The number enrolled had been increased by students from Fairmont, Lewisburg, Palmerdale, Pinson, and Springdale to 653 students. We soon developed a greater interest in our school work, ambition for the future, and a great sense of loyalty to our school and friends. As we entered our junior year, the class officers started the ball rolling toward the planning of the annual Junior-Senior Prom. When the day of the Prom finally arrived, the school seemed like one big noisy subway. The decoration committee made the gymnasium an enchanting imitation of Hawaii and it was a wonderful evening with the girls looking beautiful and the boys so handsome! Everyone had. by this time, set for himself a high goal of scholastic achievement. We supported the football team, participated in pep rallies, and took part in the various club activities. At last! We were SENIORS! Who would have thought that in the three short years so many changes could be wrought in such a group. We undertook with joyous exuberance our responsibilities as seniors. In a short time we elected class officers, ordered rings, began work on the annual, and strove diligently to succeed in our studies. Well-organized clubs and activities assumed new importance in our progress. The Student Council presented excellent assembly programs, introduced Mr. and Miss Football, and made a financial success of the Dental Clinic game. The Senior Y-Teens undertook as a main project the dressing of dolls for needy children at Christmas. The Dramatic Club provided an outlet for talent in drama. Our football team, rallying from a drought stricken freshman year, worked together with such success that they won the right to play in the Dental Clinic game. What greater change would evolve than our development of leadership! Many major presidencies were bestowed on our seniors. Janice Self presided over our Student Council. Thomas Hill led the Hi-Y. Bobby Jones led the Forum Club. Mae George Fancher led the Dramatic Club, and DeLois McGuire led the Senior Y’-Teens. Last, but not least, is our class president. Nolan Newell. Eugenia Crump is editor of the Tarrant Times and Jimmy Brown is editor of the annual. The enrollment of the student body at the beginning of our senior year was 748 of whom 172 were seniors. One hundred sixty-five expect to receive diplomas in 1955. These are but a few of the many note worthy achievements of the Senior Class of 1955. We leave with a longing sigh, and as we go to take our places in the world, we know that we have been greatly aided by a group to whom we owe much— our faculty. DELOIS McGUIRE BETTY BLANKENSHIP The contest in good citizenship, sponsored by the D.A.R. in all high schools of the slate, is based on patriotism, service, dependability, and leadership.

HONORS Dorothy Chambers Representative in Birmingham News Oratorical Contest Mae George Fancher Representative to Girls' State PROPHECY Dear Mary: Having just returned from a trip around the world, we would like to tell you about our classmates of the senior class of 1955. As we left New York harbor, we saw that Dcnnie Floyd was the captain, and Hermit Hobbs, Donald Kujan, Donald Evans, and Edward Segars were crew members of the U.S.S. Mermaid. Our first stop was England where we saw Betty Neill, John Bookmiller, and Bobby Jones. They were teaching English at a school in London. Visiting Buckingham Palace, we recognized a guard as Jack Bradshaw who told us that Mizella Payne. DeLois McGuire, and Claudelle Holliday, famous actresses, had been recently received by the Queen. On a plane to Paris, Nolan Newell, a member of the F.B.I., told us that Ronnie Cobb, Tommy Batson, Jimmy Hooper, and Calvin Ewing were secret agents in Canada. In Paris on our visit to Eiffel Tower we saw Aulia Ann Keith and her six children! Later we saw a very attractive dress shop owned by Gail Lawson, Helen Duren, and Edwina Riley. DeAnn Mullins, Gloria Berry, Norma Burchfield. Kay Crossley, and LaVonne Hubbard were models. Gail informed us that Betty Wilson and Sherry Aders owned an automobile plant in Paris. At a quaint side-walk cafe, the waiters were Eddie Joiner and L. G. Duke. One of the customers were Glenda Ratliff Goodwin, ambassador to France. She told us that Jimmy Brown, James Rogers. Robert hite, and Sam Moore were building a new Arc de Triumph. Our next stop was Spain. In Madrid two of the toreadors in the bull fight were Edward Richardson and Erskine Smith. In Toledo at a night club we saw Carolyn Sims and Edwadine Bibb, famous fandango dancers. From Spain we flew to Africa. At the edge of the Sahara Desert we saw Billy Creel, Elton Lance. Felix Hartley, and Leon Sparks, camel traders and assistants to Joe Duncan, a medical missionary. After a quick plane trip we landed in Egypt. At King Tut’s Tomb our guides were Patricia Darden. Carl Monroe, and Marie Echols. Traveling down the Nile River we met Ann Scott and Roy White, missionaries. In Capetown, South Africa, we saw Larry Brewer, Jerrell Sanders, and Harry Littleton, millionaire playboys. We boarded a ship for South America and in Brazil were entertained by Bill Owen, Kay Kirkland, Roy Songer. Dorothy Chambers. Vernon Peek, and Ruth Mullins, joint owners of a coffee plantation. Renting a helicopter, we flew to Argentina. In Buenos Aires, feeling hungry, we were directed to a chile cafe owned by Darlene Ganus, Martha For bus, and Barbara Hurst. Their famous chefs were Ann Dunkin. Shirley Griffis, Bobby Clevenger, and Jimmy Fields. There we heard that Raymond Dillard was working on a cattle ranch on the pampas, owned by Thomas Hill and Jimmy Bryant. We took a bus to Peru. In Lima we saw Willis Peoples and Carter Henry, selling llamas to John Booth. Edward Gentry. Shirley Strickland. Harold Jones, Faye Persall, Peggy Johnson, and Nellie Sue Sandlin, explorers planning to climb Ml. Neverbeenthere. Leaving South America we headed for Australia where we were greeted by President Billy Wayne Wood. His cabinet consisted of Charles Chatham, Lamar Duncan, Jimmy Marshall, Harry’ Cowgill. and Roland Smith. Elois Giles, Jack Parsons, Patricia Branham, Sammy Wilson, Kathryn Hughes, and Mamie Jo Peoples owned a kangaroo circus which we were eager to see.
