Lewis, President of the Senior Class, Editor of The Oracle and obligated by a host of other responsibilities, pos- sesses outstanding executive ability. All-A's are his habits and he leads in sports also Che was elected as a member of the All-Webb basketball teamj. Lewis possesses than characteristic of all leaders, the knack of getting along with people. Lewis does not upset easily and his actions are not irrational. For all his four years at Webb, Lewis has held this posi- tion of leadership and influence.

We had our Sophomore class party in Shelbyville. We de- parted for the summer looking forward to a very prosperous Junior year. In September of '53, we came back to Webb as upper- classmen. Yes, we were Juniors, and very proud--maybe a little bit too proud, but we looked forward to a grand year. Our class was again the largest class in school. Though we lost Ronnie Holmes, Bob Watson, Jack Banks, Mike Robison, Jim Moore, Jim Jarvis, Weldon Oliver, and Ted Duncan, we didn't suffer too much in this great loss. For we found we had gained such outstanding members as Page Faulk, Clark Becker, Warren Patterson, Jim Dillard, Cullpepper Exum, Easton Lebo, Douglas West, Frank Smith, Park Miller, and Gunter Smith. Although our number grew larger, we had a large turnover in the class before the year was completed, and we lost Mike Moss, Ab Taylor, Peter Scales, Linton Vandiver, and Gene Hirsch. We began the year by electing as ofricersz Lewis Holmes, Presidentg Owen Hendley, Vice-Presidentq Albert Frierson, Sec- retaryg and Linton Vandiver, Marshal. For our representative on the Honor Committee, we elected Bobby Gilliam, Bobby Crichlow, and Gene Hirsch. Our class had always seemed to take an active part in every event of scholastics and athletics, but this year we began taking even bigger interests. We began to shoulder responsi- bility and realized we had a few sore spots to work out. But we also realized what a challenge it was: Consequently we didn't always succeed, but we worked hard. In sports, we started off very well. Football was first on schedule, wherein we established an unusual record by beat- ing the Seniors twice, tieing them once, and losing to them only once. Such players as Warren Patterson, Albert Frierson, Peter Scales, Ab Taylor, Bobby Crichlow, Gene Hirsch, and Owen Hendley excelled in the game. fconunwd on page 641 SENIO R YEAR Krzcrlirzg, lofi to riglaf: Lewis Holmes-President, Albert Frierson-Vice-President, Clark Becker-Secretary-Treasurer, Owen Hendley-Marshal.

QHZOTS BARRY CLIFFORD BASS During every year since Webb has been in exist- ence, it has striven to offer each student the resources with which he might mold the tools which will serve him well through life. Some of the better students accept these resources, while others reject them. Cliff Bass arrived at Webb in the fall of '51 to begin his high school life. Since that time, he has grasped the opportunities offered by Webb and has particular- ly developed a strong desire to understand and com- prehend those things which he doesn't already. This desire has led him to be especially interested in the fields of science, mathematics, and philosophy. UB. C. is obviously gifted with great talent and will doubt- less be a great success in what ever field he chooses. O RALPH CLARK BECKER Clark came to Webb as a Junior and seldom has a person entered into as much activity so soon after his arrival. One almost never sees him not in a hurry to get something accomplished. Clark's jour- nalism ability can easily be seen in the improved quality of the Oracle and in the SAWNEY. He is a member of the Dramatics Club and had a part in the Senior Play last year. Also he has been active in the Hamilton Society and this year held the office of Yearly-Secretary. Clark's well known and appropri- ate statement about life in the hamlet of Bell Buckle, How rural! , has almost developed into a Webb cliche. At college next year he will surely devote his energy as influentially as he has at Webb.
