LOIS WHITT FREDDY F. WILLIAMS RICHARD WHITT WILLIAM DALE WOODALL HISTORY Mamie Kinder, secretary; and Kathleen Burton, treasurer. The cheering section was most ably led by Melster Neese and Freddy Williams. Kay Crawford and Bernard Riley were elected Best Juniors. Our class play Rest Assured” was a huge success. The proceeds from the play went to finance the Junior-Senior Prom whose theme was Moonlight and Magnolias. It was a gala and unforgettable event. Gwen Mundy, Caroll Stamper, Jann Kensinger, and Phyllis Eanes Fisher were princesses in the 1953 May Court. So very much has happened this, our senior year — the Carnival, Homecoming, Christmas Formal, the trip to Washington, and May Day. Bobby Webb again was elected president of the class. Other class officers elected were Stanley Hill, vice president; Gwen Mundy, secretary- treasurer. Raymond Kiser was elected president of the student body and Albert Akers as vice president. Bill Peery and Kay Crawford were chosen King and Queen of Homecoming. Imogene Stallard, George Lewis, Jo Ella Stevenson, and Raymond Kiser were members of the Homecoming Court. Our football co-captains, Bill Peery and George Lewis, earned positions on the all-county team. Melster Neese, Jo Ella Stevenson and Freddy Williams were our peppy cheerleaders. Early in the winter came the election of superlatives who were presented at the carnival. Ray¬ mond Kiser and Jo Ella Stevenson were elected Best Seniors and were crowned as King and Queen of Winter Capers. The girls ' varsity basketball team won the county championship by defeat¬ ing the Graham team. Again George Lewis made the all county basketball team. In May, after weeks of fun and practice, our class presented the senior play Ol’ Doc. May Day and the Junior- Senior Prom were two of the unforgettable events of our last month in school. The arrival of our caps and gowns, our invitations, and our annuals have brought us nearer to our final event—graduation. These four years have been filled with wonderful and exciting experiences; and as we leave we take with us the memories of happy days spent and friendships made at Tazewell High.
