Class History In the fall of 1955 we, the graduating class of 1959, entered Timmons- ville High School. There were fifty-three of us, bright faced and eagerly awaiting the day that we could be like those big people we admired so much--the seniors. To lead us through our first year in this new world of high school life, we elected as our class officers Annie Jo Matthews, pres- ident; Joan McLendon, vice-president; Tommy Hensley, secretary; Woody McKay, treasurer; and Cecelia Quantz, representative on the student cil. After an unusually short summer we again returned to T. H. 5., this time as sophomores. After having spent one year here in high school, we felt a little more at home and quickly got down to work and elected Marilyn Wilkes president, Alfred Tolson vice-president, Gwen Kraft secretary, Hartwell Jordan treasurer, and Tommy Hensley representative. The next year, our junior year, was a big one for us. Along with our class sponsors- Mr. Lee Roy Haymond, Mrs. Loutee Pardue, and Mrs. Dene Donohoe-we entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom, car- rying out an Old South motif. We also presented our first class play, Headin' for a Weddin’, a hillbilly farce in three acts. Our junior leaders were as follows: president, John Woods; vice-president, Hazel Lane; sec- retary, Freddie Hicks; treasurer, Gwen Kraft; and representative, Betty Jean Gibbs. In September, 1958, the day came when we could at last call ourselves seniors. We realized that we were leaders in our school activities and must assume the responsibilities of our position. We were confident that we would be able to do so under the leadership of our officers, elected the preceding spring—Alfred Tolson, president; Marilyn Wilkes, vice-presi- dent; Betty Jean Gibbs, secretary; Phyllis Ann White, treasurer; and Freddie Hicks, representative. Guided by our sponsors—Mrs. Lillian Wade, Mrs. Mary Lou Ritchie, and Miss Helen Lee--we have carried on the activities of our class. This spring we presented our final class play and were the honored guests at the Junior-Senior Prom. The trip to New York, for which we had worked and to which we had looked forward since coming to high school, became a reality instead of a dream. Throughout the year John Woods has led the student body as president of the student council, and Leona Howell has served as its treasurer. Joan McLendon has been editor of the Whirlwind, while the 1959 edition of the Purple and Gold was published under the direction of Gwen Kraft. Graduation, with its pomp and ceremony, will in a few days close this history of our class; and with it our journey into life will begin. Yes, we shall soon graduate, but we know we shall never forget four of the most wonderful years of our lives—the years spent at our alma mater, Tim- monsville High School. 26
