61488 HISTORY The year we have anticipated for so long is here at last. Now we can truly say, We are Seniors! , getting ready to take the big step out into the world. Looking back we can see many majestic memories. They all begin with our gradu- ation from the eighth grade when we walked across the stage and received certificates for eight years of hard work which entitled us to take part in the high school life. Let's retrace our steps and see what has happened foiir years ago as Freshmen still wet behind the ears. Our advisors were Mr. Butler and Mr. Phillips. We elected class officers: Barbara Wilson, President, Bill McMichael, Vice President, Mary Ellen Meador, Secretary, Larry jarrell, Treasurer, Pat Stanfield, Reporter. For the first time we were able to take part in the clubs and other Various activities. The athletic ones were Patricia Stanfield, Hazel Purgason, Bonnie Merritt, and Donna Dickerson on the girls' basketball team and Coretta Owen, cheerleader. With hard work and many activities we found ourselves a little wiser as Sophomores. Our advisors were Mr. Butler and Mr. Phillips, our class officers were: Bill McMichael, President, Norman Austin, Vice President, Donna Dickerson, Secretary, Edward Anderson, Treasurer, and Larry jarrell, Reporter. The girls added to the basketball team were Mary Ellen Meador, Linda Crowder, and jean Reynolds. The boys added to the basketball team were Leroy Haskins and Walter Carter. The ones chosen for the Beta Club were Mary E. Meador, Patricia Stanfield, Barbara Wilson, Ruby Stump, Bonnie Carroll, Donna Dickerson, Edward Anderson, Bill McMichael, and Larry Jarrell. We were very proud when one of our girls, Barbara Wilson, was first runner-up in the Beauty Pageant. Bill McMichael was president of the Science Club with other class members holding offices in the various clubs, each one playing an important role to make a wonderful memory. Now we move on to our junior year. A little more realistic then, we began to face many confronting problems. Our advisors were Mr. Smith and Mrs. Wright. We elected class officers: Coretta Owen, President, Norman Austin, Vice President, Kempie King, Secretary, Linda Crowder, Treasurer, and Bonnie Carroll, Reporter. The class was well repre- sented as club officers and Linda Smith became a cheerleader. Jeritta Rakestraw, Judy Mayhew, and Hazel Purgason made the Beta Club. We juniors really enlarged the boys' basketball team, added were Walter Gunn, Ray Carter, Bill McMichael, Billy Rakestraw, john Dallas, Norman Austin, and Bobby Wyatt. That was the year we received our class rings and had a friendly contest selling magazines. With the money received from selling magazines we gave the Seniors a banquet, the theme was Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. Again we had a runner-up in the Beauty Pageant, Barbara Wilson. The honor of marshals went to Mary Ellen Meador, Chief, Bonnie Carroll, Patricia Stanfield, Donna Dickerson, and Bill McMichael. The closing of our Junior year came with our making the rose chain for graduation. Time flies by so quickly! We are now Seniors, waiting for the big moment when again we can walk across the stage and receive a diploma as we received a certificate four years ago. Our Senior advisors are Mrs. Rankin and Mr. Smith, our class officers: Ray Carter, President, Jean Reynolds, Vice President, Barbara Wilson, Corresponding Secretary, Kempie King, Recording Secretary, Richard Cox, Treasurer, and Kempie King and Bill McMichael, Reporters. This is the year we prove our abilities as leaders, with many holding the offices of club presidents. Two Senior girls have be- come cheerleaders: Margie Joyner and Patricia Stanfield. Again this is a big year for us in the Beauty Pageant, Mary McCann is crowned Miss Wentworth High for 1960-61. These four years are coming to an end all too soon. Looking back we see and remember many events, small and large alike, all combining to make our stay in high school a big memory never to be forgotten. As we leave, a little afraid but prepared to face the future, we thank you Wentworth High, for making all of this possible. Our teachers, our principal, our parents, without all of them we would have been lost. Now there is nothing left but a majestic memory of the past and the thought of Not finished, just begun!
