0606 OUR THANKS TO OLE WENTWORTH HIGH We the seniors of Ole Wentworth High, Will always be grateful to you till we die. We will always remember the days we have spent, And how much they have really meant. Yes, we all can remember the days of long ago, When we all were children walking to and fro. They were the good ole days at Ole Wentworth High, When we think of them now we can only sigh. Ole Wentworth High we'll be grateful to you, All the rest of our days be they many or few. We the seniors of the class fifty-five, Wish we could relive those days at Ole Wentworth High. In a few years we'll be happily married, But still we'll remember where so oft we tarried. To Ole Wentworth High School who gave us our start, We must say that soon we must all part. We the seniors of the class fifty-five, Leave Ole Wentworth High School our grateful goodbys.

W. It is hard to realize that four years have passed since we became freshmen. It took us quite awhile to get used to being addressed as freshmen, but when we did, we were really a part of the school. Our advisors were Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Williams and Mr. Sharpe. Our freshman class officers were: Betty Fretwell, presidentg Bobby Paige, vice presidentg John Dallas, secretary, Betty Jean Carter, treasurer. The proud wearers of the blue and gold on the basketball court were Patsy Patterson and Betty Fretwell. Edward Meador made the base- ball team. Leading the yells was Peggy Walker with Sarah Lemons, Jo Anne Lasley, and Jack Roberts helping her. To climax the year the freshmen joined the sophomores for a party. One year later and we were sophomores! Our sophomore advisors were Mr. Gentry and Mr. Gailey. The officers were: Alice McMichael, president, Jack Roberts, vice president, Betty Fretwell, secretary and Billy Knighten, treasurer. Thr proud members of our class wearing Beta Club pins were: Sarah Lemons, Ruth Kelly, Jo Anne Lasley, Alice McMichael, Reida Wilson, Helen Lindsey, Doris Carter, Harold Vaden and Donald Gunn. Shirley Brown, Betty J. Carter, Reida Wilson and Anne Quackenbush made the girls' basketball team. Franklin Witty and Bobby Paige made the boys' basketball team. The boys making the baseball team were: Johnny McCollum, Bobby Paige, Donald Gunn, Ray Carroll and Franklin Witty. Peggy Walker was first runner-up in the Miss Wentworth contest. Johnie Collins was second runner- up. After a short vacation we returned for our Junior year, which was filled with many happy events. Our advisors were Mr. Harrelson and Mr. Gentry. Junior officers were: Jo Anne Lasley presidentg Reida Wilson, vice presidentg Bobby Paige, secretary, Harold Vaden, treasurer, and Helen Lindsey, reporter. We really were excited when we ordered our class rings and the biggest thrill ever came when we got them. Anne Quackenbush, Billie Jarrell, Patsy Patterson, Inez Jarrell, Shirley Brown, and John McCollum were invited into the Beta Club. Johnie Collins Peggy Walker, and Shelby McClung made the girls' basketball team of which Patsy Patterson was co-captain. Malcolm Cox and Donald Gunn made the boys' team. Harold Vaden received the honor of being elected vice president of the Student Council. Billie Jarrell became a Cheerleader. Johnie Collins won the coveted title of Miss Wentworth. We worked very hard on the magazine sales campaign in order to have the greatest Junior-Senior banquet ever. Jo Anne Lasley was high salesman with several members of the class running very close. Months ahead we started on the banquet. Finally the big night came. The theme was An Old Fash- ioned Garden. There was never a prettier banquet. The class all agreed that it was well worth the work put into it. The coveted honor of being Marshals went to Ruth Kelly, Jo Anne Lasley, Sarah Lemons, Doris Jane Carter, Donald Gunn, and Harold Vaden, with Alice McMichael, chief. It wasn't long before we realized that we were Seniors! With the following officers: Harold Vaden, presidentg Donald Gunn, vice president, Betty Fretwell, secretaryg Inez Jarrell, treasurer, Alice McMichael, corresponding secretaryg Edward Meador, reporter, and Mrs. Rankin as advisor, we proceeded onward toward graduation. Harold Vaden was elected presi- dent of the Student Council. Doris Carter made the basketball team. Although our four years at Wentworth High were short, we have had many happy experiences and made acquaintances that will remain a part of us forever. As we leave our school it is not with regret that we say Goodbye, but we wish to express our gratitude for its affording us the four happiest years of our lives. Sarah Lemons, Historian
