oa 946 but we all knew he was a great character.) We remembered the lone senior by giving her two elaborate banquets. At the completion of that year, we lost five members of our class: Nell Mallette, L. Dean Faulk, Helen Griffin, Mary Alice Holden, and Maudree Murphy. When we entered upon the most importa nt year of our high school, we were indeed ovei Joyed. We were seniors! Only five out of the fourteen original students remained to grad- uate. We were delignted to welcome to our class, Stover Tillman, who had served in the navy during the war. We all remembered Stover from prior years because of his outstanding mathmatical ability. Some day Stover will te teaching children tnat 2 and 2 make 4. What is more he will prove it, too! out of our class this year Marjorie Hawley, Naomi Woodman, Stanley Ramsay, and Juanita Havens, published the school paper, TH! STUDENT STAR. It was that year, too, that what we had been expecting came true» Naomi Woodman was ac- Claimed Valedictorian, an honor which she Justly deserved because of her concientious effort at all times to carry out in minute detail any instructions she received. Her senior year found her ably coving with the difficult test of editing TIM’ 'N' TIDg ana serving as first editor of THE STUDENT STAR. We .anpreciated her neat, efficient manner of executing all assignments. Naomi was the men ber of our class we could always--positively alwayse-rely on to say the wrong thing at ex- actly the right time. Our charming English teacher, Mrs. George Penton, sponsored us our Junior and senior years. We, the seniors, felt that this year had been a splendid success. All of our teachers were understanding, sweet, and kind to us. We realized our high school days had been spent under diverse conditions and we felt extremely fortunate in having had such able instructors throughout those years.

946 WE THE SENIORS We, the seniors, will always remember September 6, 1942, as an important day in our lives, for it was on this day that Betty Overton, Harold Booth, Mary Alice Holden, Jimmie Flurry, Roy Roberts, L. Dean Faulk, Helen Griffin, Nell Mallette, Maudree Murnhy, Naomi Woodman,Doris Mallette, Juanita Havens, Stanley Ramsay, and Marjorie Hawley enrolle d as freshman at Vancleave High School. That year, for some reason, Doris Mallette was voted Greenest Freshman , but Doris. Just took it in her stride and went along in her hapny- go-lucky, carefree way as. she always did in her high school days. We found Doris to bea fine classmate anda good romance provider the four years we spent with her. Marjorie Hawley--that strong personality--started the ball rolling about this time and kept it going all through high school. When we fin ished the ninth year, we found thetwe had all successfully passed on into the tenth grade. The next fall, as sophomores, we felt that we were in for a good time. And did we heve it! With the coming to our class of two vivacious, new girls, Ruth Austin and Kathy Einfeldt, and the discovering that quiet and dignified Juanita Havens was a good misician, things, changed rapidly,and we found that var ties were more fun!!! Little did we dream then that Nita would some day be Saluta- torian of her class. As juniors we began to realize that we were growing up and had to work more and play much less. We thoroughly enjoyed studying “Macbetn and producing the play, Take A Letter , We also observed that Stanley Ramsay had a decided gitt of gab . Wny, he even talked himself into getting an English medal! His Jjesting, wise-cracking, and joking proved to us that Stanley has a very intelli- gent mind(Sometimes we were dubious about it,
