Freshman Class History In September, 1950, fourteen Freshmen, four girls and ten boys, entered the portals of T.H.S., for a high school education. Five of us attended the Tuscumbia Grade Schoolg namely, Janet Hix, Dixie Burks, Ronald Swanson, Billy Berry, and Stanley Hill. The remaining nine came in from the surrounding country schools. To guide us on the untried paths this first year, we selected Dixie Burks, Presidentg Ronald Swanson, Vice-President: Marie Kallenbach, Secretary and Treasurerg Joan Witt, Reporter: John McNeely, Bulldog. Joan Witt and Donald Patterson were our queen and king candidates for the annual school carnival. In our school parade we had five small express wagons decorated with our class colors--black and yellow. Stanley Hilltand Ronald Swanson are our outstanding members in athletics. Our winner roast, held at Dog Creek, began the social whirl in T.H.S. We had a lot of fun and plenty of good things to eat. This Freshman Class sponsored by Mr. R. E. Lee, will be favorably heard from again. Eighth Grade Class History Some of us remember distinctly the scared group of boys and girls who started to school in Tuscumbia for the first time in September, 1943. This group consisted of three boys and four girls: namely, Bernard Lewis, James D. Winters, Gail Workman, Joan Blair, Jeanene Keeth, Billie Pryor, and Senah Shroyer. During our second year, 1944, Leroy Vaughan, Jerry Rowland, and Lloyd Berry were added to our little group. As third graders in 1945, we lost Bernard Lewis, James Winters, Joan Blair, and Jerry Rowland, but welcomed the enrollment of Warren Brumley. ln 1946, Kenneth Hawkin and Farris Wall joined our fourth grade class making a total of nine. Our fifth year, 1947, we lost Kenneth Hawkin and Farris Wall but were happy to have Kenneth Keeth join our happy group. One of the not-to--be-forgotten events of that year was the grade shcool Operetta, The Children of Butter-Cup Commons' given April 30, 1948. The new faces that greeted us as sixth graders were: Betty Hendry and Mary Wood. Carolyn Jenkins entered December 13, 1948. Gail Workman moved to Eldon, January 3, 1949. We remember the biased dignity acquired upon leaving the grades and pass- ing into Junior High School in the fall of 1949. Mary Wood was absent from our roll call. Churchill Keeth entered September 19. The long-awaited eighth year finally rolled around with the following as mem- bers of the graduating class: J eanene Keeth, Billie M. Pryor, Senah, Shroyer, Lloyd Berry, Leroy Vaughan, Kenneth Keeth, Betty Hendry, Mary Wood, who came back with us this fall, Carolyn Jenkins, Churchill Keeth, and Patsy Adcock, who also enrolled in the fall term of 1950. Jeanene Keeth, Billie Pryor, and Senah Shroyer were the only three to complete their entire eight years here in the Tuscumbia Grade School. - This milestone which we have reached is a joy to our parents, teachbrs, and friends and a happy day for us. We are inspired and encouraged to go forward with our education in high school. Though we will never be assembled together again as we have been this past year, let us keep in mind what is expected of us: that possibly the greatest of all virtues is patriotism, which stands for peace among Nations and that when we salute the flag, as we have done these past eight years, let us firmly resolve that we shall do our share and be worthy to be called an American Citizen. 18
