Hass Hi tory As we look back to the first day of school in 1953, we see ourselves going into high school for the first time. As we look at it now we think of how quickly the time has passed since then, and we see all of our good times together. Oh, how big we felt to be Freshmen! Our class officers were: President, Nelson Gunn, Vice President, Brenda Roberts, Secretary, Coralie Moran, Treasurer, Bennie Trent, and Reporter, Lucy Thomas. Our advisors who guided us through our first trying year were Mrs. Exum and Mr. Dallas. This year for the first time we had a chance to join clubs and to participate in different school activities. Bennie Trent and Jerome Barrett made the baseball team. We also had one girl, Sonja Smothers, on the basket- ball team. Another thing we enjoyed this year was the class parties we had. Then we took one more big step, we were Sophomores. Our class officers were: President, Jimmy Jonesg Vice President, Freddie Brimg Secretary, Hazeleen Forbisg Treasurer, Sarah Harveyp and Reporter, John Jarrell. Our advisors for this year were Miss Edmondson and Mr. Sharpe. During this year many of our girls and boys received the honor of becoming members of the Beta Club. Those who made the varsity basket- ball team this year were: Betty Carter, Lucy Thomas, Ann Williams, Coralie Moran, Preston Cox, Nelson Gunn, William Earles, Larry Woods, and Bennie Trent. Sarah Harvey became a cheerleader. Larry Woods, William Earles, and Jimmy Jones were on the baseball team, Members of our class held offices in many clubs this year, making this a very good year for us. Boy, did we have a lot of fun our Junior year! We were really proud of our class rings and the Junior-Senior Banquet qwhich we paid for by selling magazinesy. Our class officers were: President, Brenda Roberts, Vice President, Jimmy Jonesg Secretary, Freddie Brim, Treasurer, Larry Woods, and Reporter, John Jarrell. Our advisors this year were Mr. Smith and Mr. Gentry. Those making the baseball team were Paul Doss, Freddie Brim, and Wayne Barber. Wayne Clifton and Freddie Brim made the basketball team. The marshals were: Betty Carter, chiefg Lucy Thomas, Sonja Smothers, Brenda Roberts, Bennie Trent and Coralie Moran. This was a year we truly enjoyed. Now we are Seniors. This is the realization of a long dream. Our class officers are: President, Larry Woods, Vice President, Nelson Gunn, Recording Secretary, Jimmy Jones, Corresponding Secretary, Barbara Longg Treasurer, Freddie Brim, and Reporter, Sarah Harvey. Our advisor is Mrs. Rankin. Many of our members hold the highest of- fices in the clubs this year. Betty Carter, Lucy Thomas, Nelson Gunn, and William Earles are the co-captains of the basketball teams. Hilda Carter made the basketball team. Anne Williams and Ervin Roberts are cheerleaders. Sarah Harvey was chosen chief cheerleader for this year. As we look back over our achievements in high school we see that we turned out to be a fine group of people. We know that there were many misunderstandings, but we have come to love one another so much that we hate to part. We know that we can't stay together forever, so instead we have these memories of the best years of our lives. Lucy Thomas Class Historian

Greater Achievement A cold fall day twelve years ago - How could we ever forget that day, The day when each set his individual tempo, To match the test, come what may. On through the years with trouble and strife, While each made his mark and hallowed his name - Achievements galore to last all our life, To aid in the quest for fortune and fame. We've lived as a family at Ole Wentworth Highg Now we are parting and saying so-long, While each recalls with many a sigh, The wonderful times while edging along. So here's to the future and what it may bring, And to the brave teachers who've labored with usg As loud and joyously our shouts do ring, We know that forever they'll remember us.
