'COUR STORY,' The long summer vacation was over and the students of West Memphis High School climbed out of the swimming pools, put aside our baseball uniforms, exchanged shorts for dresses and came back to school. We wouldn't admit it, of course, but most of us were glad to come back to the quietly thrilling routine broken by the fairly frequent 'glied Letter Days. We were once again surrounded by our friends, caught up in a whirl of activities, enrolled in new and interesting courses, resolved to make this year the best ever. The Seniors enrolled first, each with the realization that his big- gest year was opening in promise of added responsibility, greater challenges to leadership, rounding out of our educational experiences. Martha Anne Bagwell, Bill Weaver, Syhle Foley and Albert Sharp become Seniors. The .luniors found new opportunities, new privileges, apprenticeship in serv- ice. The Sophomores came back to school with new assurance, they had walked the trail before. The Freshmen looked forward to the Glorious Adven- ture-at last they were in high school. Mrs. Smart and Coach Paschal enroll Sophomores Missy Shipman and Donnie Dunston.
