Senior Class History In the fall of 1947, twenty-three Freshmen took their first big step in life. We were all scared, but now that we are graduating, we are glad that we had our eye on the goal and have kept climbing. The twenty-three members of this Freshman Class were as follows: ' June Beard, Bonnie Carico, Bonnie Burks, Barbara Burks, Dexter Burks, Betty Burris, Danny Hasty, Avis Helton, Harold Hill, Tennyson Jarrett, Robert Jones, Mariah King, Ronald McDonald, Donald Myers, Harold Musick, LeRoy Patterson, Patsy Reed, Earline Thomson, Gerald Wickham, Eloise Wood, Nancy Wood Omega Workman, and Velda Wright. Our group elected Robert Jones, President: Gerald Wickham, Vice-President: Barbara Burks, Secretary and Treasurer. Tennyson Jarrett and Omega Workman took the spotlight as candidates for the king and queen contest. ,Later in the year we welcomed to our class, Mary Myers, who came from our neighboring school at Iberia, and Doris Hendry who came from our nearby town of Waynesville. We then had a total of twenty-five Freshmen. During this Freshman year we presented the play entitled, Coming Around the Mountain. Mrs. Hazel Smith kept this class under control. A smaller group consisting of nineteen returned to Dear Ole T.H.S. in 1948, to begin year two in our upward climb. The members leaving us were: Barbara Burks who moved to Illinois: Robert Jones who went to Osage: Velda Wright who was lost in the Sea of Matrimony, and Harold Hill and Nancy Wood who left us dur- ing the summer. Omega Workman left us after about a month's stay with us--thus leaving us a total of eighteen Sophomores. Class officers for this year included President, Gerald Wickham: Vice-President, Marian King: Secretary and Treasurer, Omega Workman: and Reporter, Patsy Reed. After Omega Workman left us her vacancy was filled by Avis Helton. During our Sophomore year Mary Myers and Marian King had the honor of being chosen as cheerleaders. Our king and queen contestants were Marian King and Danny Hasty. Mrs. Ruth Barron sponsored our class this year. 1949-'50 was our busiest year, but we had seventeen jolly Juniors to take care of the task. We lost Tennyson Jarrett this year. Officials steering this group con- sisted of the following: President, Marian King: Vice-President, Mary Myers: Secretary and Treasurer, Bonnie Carico: Reporter, Danny Hasty, and Bulldog, Gerald Wickham. This year Mary Myers and Bonnie Carico were chosen as cheer- leaders. We had three members of the Girls' Basketball Team. These three were Marian King, Eloise Wood, and Bonnie Burks. Doris Hendry, Bonnie Carico, June Beard and Patsy Reed were substitutes. For the Boys' Team we had Don Myers, Otis Musick and Dexter Burks on the A Team and Ronald McDonald, LeRoy Patterson and Danny Hasty as substitutes. Our Junior Class play was Bessie the Bandit's Beautiful Baby . Three of our class members fPatsy Reed, Bonnie Carico, Gerald Wickham, were members of the Junior-Senior Play-- The Haunted Chair . The Junior -Senior Banquet, which we had been working for and the Seniors had been waiting for, took place at Campbell's Lake House. This year Mrs. Fancher kept us on the right road. ln September, 1950, we began our last year at T.H.S. Patsy Reed presided over the fifteen returning students: with Eloise Wood, Vice-President: Bonnie Carico, Secretary and Treasurer: and Mary Myers, Sergeant-at-Arms. Missing members were Avis Helton and Bonnie Burks who were lost in the Sea of Matrimony. Patsy Reed represented our class as one of the four cheerleaders. Donald Myers and Patsy Reed represented our group as king and queen candidates. Our Senior play entitled Which Shall, He Marry was presented in February. Rex Wyrick sponsored this never-to-be-forgotten Class of 1951. 10
