Jo Alyce Lackey Historian ‘gay a On a bright September morning in 1938 a rather large group of anxious children stood with their mothers outside the grammar grade buiding. This was to be the Class of 1950. Our first two years were under the capable leadership of Misses Mary Plunkett and Anne Little Masemore, Mesdames W. L. Ashcraft, Joe Liles, Chase Baughan, and W. L. McKinnon. They guided us in routine school life. In our third and fourth years we were intro- duced to arithmetic and geography by Misses Julia Cameron, Geneva Neil, Barbara Weir, Fannie Dunlap, Alice Lampley, and Mrs. Elinor Gray. During our third year we were in an Operetta given by Mrs. W. L. Wildermuth, our public school music teacher. Our fifth year was very exciting. We were on the top floor of the high school building. Mrs. Heck Allen and Miss Pauline Pinkston helped Say in getting situated in our new building. We had eagerly looked forward to the sixth and seventh grades. Now we were diagraming sentences and making notebooks, under the skill- ful direction of Misses Nora Boggan and Fannie Winfree, and Mesdames W. J. Gullege and W. W. Bennett. Our class increased as pupils from Wade Mill joined us. Seven of the class were chosen for marshals for the eighth grade graduation. They were Bobby Pratt, chief, Tommy Brame, Lib Moore, Jo Alyce Lackey, Dellie Hardison, Bill Covington, and Mildred Livingston. In the eighth grade we advanced more in our studies under Misses Mary Mitchell and Margaret Adcock. However, Miss Adcock embarked on the sea of matrimony and from then until the end of the year we had continuous substitute teachers. We became known as the “Famous Eighth Grade” and anything that happened was blamed on us, even though we were often innocent. We organ- ized a Student Council, which was patterned from the high school Student Council. During our ninth and tenth grades Coach Shelton, Mrs. George Craig, Mrs. Thomas Wall, Misses Norma Smoak, Rachel Bruton, Laura At- cali Robinson, y Charles Scarboro, Helen Howard, Delores Short, Our Clim to Stardom CLASS HISTORY kinson, Lucy Pate, Ann Carter, Edna Gieseking, Mary Alice Turner, Hermine Caraway, and Coach Hall did a splendid job of broadening our knowl- edge. Both the boys and girls entered sports in a big way. Several of us started working on the Student Prints and Hi-Ways staffs. Some of us were initiated into school clubs. As we entered the last scenes of our high school days, we assumed new dignities. Our leaders for the Junior year were Misses Hermine Caraway, Dolores Martindale, Frances DeLamar, Jeanne Griggs, Mrs. Nancy Bowman, Coach Hall, Mr. Wildermuth, Mrs. Sam Harrell, and Mr. J. O. Bowman, Jr. During the year Mr. Terrell, our Superintendent, resigned and Mr. Wildermuth became Superintendent. Coach Shelton was tem- porary Principal. The highlight of our Junior year was the Junior- Senior Banquet. The setting was a “Hawaiian Luau.” We decorated the Country Club with bamboo huts, rambling roses, and a canopy of silver stars. Faye Stogner was elected Booster Queen during that year. This was the second time a Junior became Queen. Margaret Moore was selected as our Christmas Festival Princess. She was the first Junior to receive this honor. Our Junior play, “Ready-Made Family,’ was directed by Miss sriggs. Bobby Spratt. Lib Moore, Lib Faulkner, Fetzer Mills, Faye Stogner, and Joe Harkey were members of the cast. Four of our class graduated with the Class of 1949. They were Bobby Kiser, Bill Covington, Mary Elinor Covington, and Becky Allen. Our marshals for the commencement exercises were Bobby Pratt, Lois Turner, and Lib Moore. Fetzer Mills received the Citizenship Cup, which is awarded to the most outstanding Junior, at the Commencement exercise. And now we have reached the finale. Our formerly large class now numbers only thirty-five. Our class officers are: President, Bobby Pratt; Vice- President, Alvin Butler; Secretary, Faye Stogner; and Treasurer, Joe Harkey. Miss Carrie Sturgis is our Senior advisor. The Seniors chose as their mascot Sharon Ferree. Our class has enjoyed the many improvements made in the school this year. Distributive Educa- tion, taught by Miss Evelyn Bullard, was introduced into our curriculum. All the rooms have been painted and new desks have replaced the old ones.
