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 GUNA SESS a “fe Syz 23 68x PANG Somewhere, Not Here May 1, 1952 Dear Mon, As I scribbled the date, May List, 2 thought of my gradu2tion from Vancleave High School back in '47+ Although it has been five years now, I still recall the funny things that happened back then and I often find myself thinking of my classmates. You know, Mom, they all did well even though at times I wonder how we ever struggled through Several days ago I attended a luncheon for the employees of Wilson and David's Chain Stores , You will never guess my sur- prise when I learned that the young man to my left was formally a seaman under Lieut. Commander Stanley Ramsay. He also showed me a picture of Stanley. He really looks like a big shot these days. Large— my goodness! Guess you know Stover Tillman is plan- ning on taking up aviation very soon. He fas been math instructor at Perkinston College for several years. Stover was always bright along that line and it often made me wonder, while taking geometry especially, why he was blessed with brains I had such a dreadful shortage of. Marjorie and I see each other quite of- ten. We just can't seem to be sgsenvarated. Accorcing to the editor of the Meridian Star she has an excellant rating as journalist and they truly value her work. She still specializes in handwriting. She really knows how to twist a pen. I sometimes wonder how Targe keeps up her moral without basketball. y Tee” 4 . yes dr %
