' TIME MARCHES ON hs: ie Turn back the pages of time to the year 1938, and there you will find an eager group of boys and girls entering school for the first time under the splendid guidance of Miss Mary Litchford. On this first grade roll you will find the names of the following persons who have traveled along together for twelve years: Evelyn LaFevor, Anne Mullinax, Charles Harris, Juanita Cowan, Ruth Davis Hudson, J. C. Stewart, Billie Frances Osborne, Charles Ownby, Mary Helen Hemontolor, Sidney Bain, Jean Jewell, J. W. Patton, Joyce Reeves, Wallace Midgett, and I. Time marched on and the years passed hurriedly by, new students were gained and old ones were lost. Each new teacher by their ability guided this group of educational so- journers to success which was reached when they graduated from the grammar school. We now observe this same eager group entering high school as ‘“‘green freshmen” adjusting themselves to the new and strange atmosphere of school life. However, by the sophomore year they were well established and were dreaming dreams of the future years ahead. As ‘‘Jolly Juniors” these eductional so-journers experienced many happy and exciting experiences together. Outstanding features of the year’s work being—the election of sponsors, selecting the class ring, Junior-Senior Banquet, and the class play ‘Quit Your Kidding.” Now, we have overtaken ‘‘Time”’ as we see this group build foundations under their dreams as members of the 1950 Senior Class. Truly, this has been a happy and successful year— ‘The best year of our high school days.” It has been filled with many outstanding events such as: receiving class rings, electing class officers and sponsors, publishing the first school paper in the history of the school — “The Watertown Hi-Lights,” organizing a Press Club, electing the annual staff, publishing ‘“The Purple Tiger,” Junior-Senior Ban- quet, class play—sports and commencement exercises. We have reached our goal—‘‘Graduation’””—and to Miss Mary Burton and Mr. Earl F. Baker our sponsors; to our principal, Mr. T. W. Bruce and to the entire faculty our appreciation for your untiring guidance during our high school days and our best wishes for the future. To each senior, let us continue to build, and may the memories of W.H.S. linger in each life as Time Marches On. Elizabeth Talley Historian
