The I-RESHMAN schedule is certainly different from Jr. High's. Each period of the day we have to find our way in three minutes to our next class or stay in for being late, keep track of new books, learn new teachers’ names, and generally keep up with the new pace. I First period, while some go slowly to library, office, or other places, I usually study. Come second period I wander slowly to the band building guided by the cigar smoke of Mr. Wood. Although some take physical ed. I’ll always prefer band. The trip back from the band building is a long one so I am usually late for my appointment in Miss Stanley's English class where we study such poems as The Lady of the Lake” and Julius Caesar” and learn verbs, nouns, pronouns and other parts of speech. I sharpen my pencil and my wits fourth period and try to be on the beam for Mrs. Odom in civics. This is one class I cannot get away with chewing gum so out it goes. In this class I study about being considerate of others, but when the lunch bell rings this is often forgotten as we try to beat Mr. Kirkpatrick’s class to lunch. Fifth period Mrs. Sprinkle, who came after Christmas to teach us Home Ec., sometimes has us prepare and eat our own lunches. While Mrs. Costello was substituting wc had fun with outdoor cooking. Now we are learning to sew. Mr. Padgett in 211 is teaching the boys general science. Among the things I saw them making were posters illustrating the different machines. Since this subject deals with motors and horse power, the boys can have it all to themselves. Algebra is my last but not least subject for the day. Algebra, taught by Miss McClendon, deals largely with the unknown and when I finish the course, it no doubt will still be unknown. Some take general math taught by Coach Whittington and Mr. Davis. Finally the bell rings and I am ready to go home. I return to my homeroom only to remember that I must remain seventh period for being late to one of my classes.

Miss Tucker Mrs. Thornton Miss McLendon A Sophomore’s Day in Classes When our school bell begins pealing in the morning, I head for the 3rd, floor, destination of most SOPHOMORES. First period people go in all directions, some to Glee Club, some to the library, while others stay in the homeroom to study. Second period, I join in the crowd pushing its way into Miss Smith’s geometry class. Of course, some people struggle with algebra instead of geometry; but math is math whether you're studying simultaneous equations or parallelograms. Third period, I dash down to Miss Waldrop’s physical ed. class. I don my shorts, run around the field and take exercises. Then I play basketball, softball, volleyball, or soccer depending on the season of the year. After I study about worms and snakes in Mrs. Ortt’s 4th. period biology class, I go to the cafeteria and find spaghetti for lunch! Fifth period I take Latin I from Mrs. Dillard. When I leave her class, all the Roman Gods and Godesses are swimming around in my head. I suppose that those who take Spanish I from Mr. Padgett see visions of Cortez and Malinche. Sixth period. Miss Tucker greets me at the door with that j sweet smile of hers. I think that she's just trying to soften everyone • 5 for the ordeal ahead. When the class is over, thoughts of Silas Marner, Sherlock Holmes and Enoch Arden are all mixed up with the Roman Gods and Godesses. Other students schedules may be different. Some may take world history from Mr. Hayman and keep up a time line, while other gain practical knowledge in Miss Sartain’s consumer education or Mr. Ortt’s business math. In the building behind the Jr. High, quite a few sophomore boys turn out beautiful lamps and tables in Mr. Jamison’s shop class. For different students there are different subjects, but all in all, I think that the school days are about the same. 1C) First row: John Adams, Douglas Baldwin, Loye Barnhill, Royce Beasley, Sam Bembry, Scott Boland, Thomas Boyd, Ray Burrell, Roy Cayson, Moses Childs, Howard Church, Harlan Clark.

As the curtain opens, we find the cast in the home of E. M. Ralston. The JUNIORS day begins early in the morning as he stumbles out of had at 8-IV inhales a short breakfast, and runs down the street to be late for first period. First period passes quickly, and our lowly junior has received only two detentions as the bell sounds faintly through the fog. Up and away. Off to band, where he is blessed-out for forgetting his horn, but since he’s of strong body and feeble mind this phases him not. We have left fourth period history, where being so scared about the world crisis he is digging a hole. But it's lunch time and business before pleasure you know. After lunch we h'ear an explosion down in 210 and we rush down to find—yes, you guessed it—our junior sweeping up the debris. As the sun sets slowly in the west we push on to English where after he has completely messed up the day we depart having seen the typical day of the junior. P. S. We skipped Spanish II class, but can you blame us? Senior Memories We the SENIOR CLASS of 51, take out our memory book to scan the pages for a look at things never to be forgotten. We turn to the first worn page which unfolds to us the happenings of the year of 1948. The names of James Pearce, Larry Mclver, Betty Lundy and Jack Murphy recall the fine leadership they gave us during our Freshman year. We remember how proud we were when the American Legion awards were won by Marion Bushong and James Pearce. Frolicking at the Junior-Senior banquet as pages were Betty Lundy, Mary Helen McCarty, Dot Bringger, Mary Jane Nama, Jack Murphy, Larry Mclver, James Pearce and Ronald Spickard. Larry and Dorothy And now a line from the pages of ’49. We cheered with the vivacious Jean Nathey, Patsy Walker, and Mary Jane Nama as they stepped into three wonderful years of cheerleading. Marvin Barkin walked proudly away with the Palmer Davis award. Remembering the leadership of President James Pearce and his crew of class officers, who were Dudley Noll, Jewel Cromer, and Dorothy Bringger, we sigh and turn the page to laugh again at the year of 1950 and recall the fun we had. James Pearce stepped again into the presidency with Larry Mclver, Dorothy Bringger, and Buck Owens as his assistants. Congratulations were in order to Kenneth Spickard, who was elected Vice President of the Student Council to Dudley Noll, Treasurer; and to Norma Jean Webb as she began her cheerleading career. High lighting the Senior Play of 1950, Bud Brakmann, Senior Class Representative, handed dowm the traditional Senior Cloak to our President, James Pearce. The laughter of the Junior Play, Home Sweet Homicide”, still echoed in our minds as banquet time arrived. Montine Jones directed the preparations and arrangements pertaining to the theme Good Luck”, and Jerry Jones added the final touch as the excellent master of ceremonies. Representing W.H.H.S. at Boys' and Girls’ State were Wesley Blanchard, Jerry Jones, Carroll Phillips, Marvin Barkin, Lee Bartlett, Jeanne Shope, Dolores Hall, and Dot Bringger. The last page, the year of 1951 brings to our minds the triumphant day James Pearce was elected Student Council President and Dolores Hall, Secretary. Larry Mclver took over the job of Senior Class President with the aid of Jack Murphy, Jeanne Shope and Dot Bringger. More congratulations went out to Barbara Grace as she took her place in the cheerleaders’ lineup; to Jerry Jones and Patsy Walker for the marvelous job of editing our year book; to Lee Bartlett w'ho picked up the baton and lead the Concert Band as Captain; to Marvin Barkin for bringing honors to our school with his speech at the Key Club Convention; to Jimmie Yarbrough as he began his duties as editor of the “Blue Devil”; and last but by no means least to James Pearce and Dorothy Bringger, who reigned as King and Queen of Homecoming. We were guided over the rough places of our Senior Play, “Best Foot Forward”, by our director Mr. Walker, to great success. Caught in the folds of the final page, we find a faded corsage to remind us of the banquet and the prom. And with the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” still lingering in our hearts, we close the book to unforgetable memories.

Here lies our main interest whether or not we admit it. It is here that we learn, have fun, and gain a well rounded education. A senior's day is somewhat different from the others. Since we are finishing up our high school days, we choose our subjects with certain thoughts in mind; for instance, the student going on to higher education will take college preparatory courses. As you may have guessed this senior's day would include English IV. This year we studied Macbeth. With Jerry Jones playing the leading role in our class, we surely had a lot of fun doing this play. I learned one thing in the unit, that we have three ugly witches in this school. Maybe more who knows. The sudden change from laughing to groaning comes from physics or trig. That mystified look on Marvin's face is the predominent expression of the whole, class, especially when Mr. Mann feels generous and gives us a test, or Miss Smith gives an extremely tough assignment in solid or trig. When you hear one of us say, Are you making a boat or a bridge for tomorrow? Don't think that the heat has gotten us. We are just working on our Latin projects. This doesn't go on all year but there is never a dull moment in Latin class. The same could be said for Spanish. Anyone who doesn't take it certainly misses an interesting experience. Chemistry combines fun with work. Whether you are making a minor dust explosion or working on a problem based on Boyle’s Law, you enjoy almost every minute of it. It has to be done Meeting the deadline A I tA Who's been nominated The seniors who do not plan to go to college would pick courses that they could use after leaving school. The ones who plan to be secretaries or work in an office might select such subjects as typing, bookkeeping or secretarial training. I heard a couple of students say, What crip courses! To them I say, Look again. For the prospective housewife, home ec. seems to be the favorite. I can tell you why though. It's all that good food with which they dabble. There are several courses offered which are just plain interest courses. These will help a person in college or out of college. Speech and journalism would fall under this heading. Maybe Donald Boatwright or Jimmy Yarbrough will become editor of the local newspaper someday, or maybe not. Anyway they have learned to put out a newspaper. Our problems class is really quite an intellectual bunch of students. You can look at Joy Ann and tell that! Well, we do study about all the angles of world affairs. Some people have great undiscovered artistic ability. For them we have shop and mechanical drawing. I bet Jimmy Chaffin is working on his new atomic rocket. In shop we can see what hard work with our hands will do. Rough boards become skiis, end tables, or other worth while objects. So go the seniors. It's really not as bad as it sounds. Because we ourselves chose most of our courses, we really put out for them and learned a lot.

The first period the place is jammed with students buying supplies and getting class permits. On Monday everyone who forgot his excuse, played hooky, or went fishing is down there bright and early trying to convince Mr. Davis that he was ill on Friday. We. who work there, help by answering the phone checking books in and out, selling supplies, recording all the absentees and their excuses, selling football tickets, and doing other odd jobs Mr. Davis wants done. Help with the Administration Undoubtedly the most important place in school is the MAIN OFFICE. It is here that the administration of the school is planned and carried out. Mrs. Wheeler takes care of the secretarial duties of this office and has one or two of us girls to help her each period of the day. Most of the time we spend taking messages to rooms, answering the phone, filing cards and doing numerous other things. When we have a brief moment of leisure we enjoy sitting and chatting with Mrs. Wheeler. All said and done it's a lot of fun to help in the Main Office and it gives us a feeling of pride to know we help with the administration of the school. DEAN’S OFFICE Under the south end of the stage is a room called the DEAN’S OFFICE. This is the office of Mrs. Nolen who is there to help students with all sorts of problems and supervise the duties of the Student Council. She is assisted by a staff of students who come in one period each day. We run errands, work on the phamplet files, count money keep the scrapbook and make college catalogues available to students. We keep busy by doing this varied type of work and enjoy it very much. and Doing the Detail Work LIBRARY We of the LIBRARY STAFF are very proud of the work we do for the school. We help students locate books for various classes, shelve books and make minor repairs on the damaged ones. Working at the circulation desk and getting new books ready for the shelves are two of our favorite jobs. One duty which, of course, the students don’t seem to appreciate is preparing and delivering over-due book slips. We really learn a lot helping Mrs. Scarbrough in the library and also have a wonderful time. Barbara types for Mrs. Scarbrough and Mrs. Lewis. Betty filing music for the Glee Club. PROJECTIONISTS Although this little room my be small in size, it is large in importance. Our FIRST AID ROOM is located under the stage and is there to serve you, the students. Having passed the standard first aid course, we of the First Aid Squad feel that we are prepared to meet any need at any time. We are always on hand to do our best to care for those who become sick at school, as well as those who may need immediate first aid. BAND OFFICE As I sit in the BAND OFFICE listening to the music of the Concert Band, I am also getting experience on how to become a good secretary. There is typing to be done, filing, making band folders, and other odd jobs a secretary is expected to do. I really enjoy it and have that wonderful feeling of responsibility when Mr. Wood leaves me in charge of the office. We Serve Our Fellow Students i We, the members of the PROJECTION ROOM. STAFF, are perhaps the busiest group of boys in the school. Under the guidance of Mr. Mann, we care for all visual aid equipment, make minor repairs on equipment, show pictures each period, and keep the projection room clean. We not only serve the schoqj, but we have a good time and see many films ranging in type from Macbeth to Walt Disney. Lit From All Classes organizations. Working under the authority of the National Headquarters of the Red Cross and with the help of Mr. George Costello, we fill gift boxes for needy children overseas, send favors and nut cups to hospitalized veterans on holidays and sponsor the home nursing courses in our school. We enjoy serving the school and by next year we hope to increase our services twofold. MISS WALDROP'S SQUAD LEADERS The Organizations We Joined JThe Fun We Had JV ■be Friends We Made 0Wjj STUDENT COUNCIL Promoting school spirit and assisting in the general administration of the school are only two of the many jobs that the STUDENT COUNCIL handles capably and efficiently. The Student Council, composed of four elected officers and student representatives, sees that the problems of the students do not go unheeded and does its best to solve these problems to the satisfaction of everyone. Perhaps the most note worthy accomplishment of the group was the establishing of the Student Activity Planning Committee, composed of two representatives from each group of class officers, the Student Council officers and two members at large. This committee operating under the guidance of the Student Council provides recreation in the form of dances and other activies. The Club Council, another important division of the Student Council establishes harmony among clubs, sets meeting dates of varied clubs and attempts to settle club problems brought to the attention of the group. It does not take long for us to realize the accomplishment of an organization which does so much for the students and which is always striving for a better W.H.H.S.

We are very proud of the fact that we are members of the National Honor Society but along with this honor there goes a responsibility. Every day we are called upon to live what we call the big four” scholarship, character, leadership and service. With this in mind we set out to make this a big year in all respects. We were very happy to have a hand in getting the Junior Honor Society started and wish them all the luck in the world for next year. At one of our meetings this past year, a member ot the Society in Japan showed us slides on the life and customs of the people in that country.

That was my determination to get into the BETA CLUB. To become a member of this club I had to excell in character, leadership, and achievements, the cardinal foundations on which the club is built. When I finally became a member, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. We owe much to Miss Loveless for the time and effort that she has put in for the club and its members. With her help the Beta Club felt that they could undertake a library project. Now we are quite proud of the furniture and decorations that the club has put there, and we plan to do much more next year when there will be more room. Our efforts to carry out the cardinal purposes and work on the several projects plus the fine spirit of friendliness and co-operation all contribute toward making the Beta Club a very worth while organization.

KEY CLUB OFFICERS President ..............Freddie Allsopp Vice President ............Jimmy Chaffin Secretary ..............Wesley Blanchard Treasurer ................Marvin Barkin The value of any club in our school is judged on the basis of the amount of useful service rendered. According to this scale, the KEY CLUB is rated as one of the most active clubs in W.H.H.S. In it I have found the spirit of friendliness, helpfulness, and serious thinking all boiled into one. It is truly a brotherhood of Key” boys who try their hardest to accomplish their high aims of service to the school and their fellow students. Service covers several areas. There is the campus on which we put benches and trash cans. In the school we have placed mirrors, a water cooler, and a trophy case, but the more unusual area is the acting profession. Much talent is revealed in our minstrels and skits, and all the members have a wonderful time staging these entertainments. The Kiwanis and the school are behind us, and we couldn’t ask for a better sponsor than Mr. Mann. So the sucess of our club is up to us. Every Tuesday, our meetings are carried out in good form. We discuss business, tell our jokes, eat our breakfast, and then go to school and try to carry out our projects. The highlight of this year's work was the State Key Club Convention.

C. LYNN Our wishes have finally come true! The back campus has been cleaned up and ready for new athletic equipment for an athletic field. The field stretches all the way from the old shop to the band building. This gives room enough for several activities to be carried on at the same time. When this equipment is put up we should be proud of it and take the utmost care of it. Although we have been trying hard for several years to get the campus cleaned wc have just succeeded and we want to thank Mr. J. B. Thornhill, our county commissioner, and his helpers for the splendid job they did toward beautifying our campus. An argument is where two people are trying to get in the last word first. Give our wildlife a place to live —Keep Florida Woodlands Green. Band Building Being Remodeled By JOHNNY KATROS There’s a happy gent around school, who has been passing out cigars, because there has been a blessed event in school. The blessed event is the remodeling of the band building, and the person that has been passing out the cigars is Mr. Roy Wood, band director. If anyone has noticed the band building since last year, you can certainly tell that the building has had a fresh paint job and a new roof, which was really needed. Something else has been done also, and that is the clay walk leading up to the band building. It used to be that the students would ‘'ave have to trudge through the soft sand, which caused dust to rise and also get students' feet dirty. Let’s go inside the building now and see what is being done to the walls, floors, and the old boys’ phy. ed. dressing rooms. The workmen have started tearing the old pasteboard walls off the walls and are putting good solid wood in it’s place. Senior English Classes Give Macbeth ••Macbeth” hao boon chosen by the Senior English classes for their play. The choice was greeted with mixed emotions, some of the students preferring a lighter play. There was keen competition for the leading roles of Macbeth and Lsdy Macbeth, and try-outs were held. Mr. Walker was forced to assign the parts of the three witches. They are beginning to sound a little more like witches, especially Dorothy Stephens. She’s being | realistic. It is not known when the plays will be presented, since rehearsals . have been delayed by activities and nouced later which classes will be vacation. However, it will be an-tho lucky ones to seo the play. Girls Service Club, under nsorhip of the Winter Ha-ot Club, is sponsoring a con-find a suitable name for ewly organized club.

Science Circus Comes to Town By SHERRY ELLERBY and PAT HARRINGTON None of us W.H.H.S. students could say that science isn’t interesting or humorous after the curtain came down on the Bob Brown’s Science Circus Monday morning. Interest soared higher when he took several students from the audience to participate. The student “guinea pigs” were Tom Clark, Franklin Smith, Non Schiller, Harry Anderson, Carolyn Gause, Carolyn Mixon, and Howard Church. But there is still one question in the minds of all, how did he drink all that water from such a little pitcher? This unusually different assembly was enjoyed by everyone. BLUE DEVIL STAFF We, the students of the journalism class, have brought to you a paper which we feel was of good quality and worthwhile reading material. Although the BLUE DEVIL STAFF was small and inexperienced, we believe the paper measured up to the standards set by previous staffs. This year we used several new ideas. To support the paper we sold advertisement to the local merchants. Since students in previous years couldn’t remember to stick fifty cents in their pocket and bring it to school we decided to sell the paper each week. Surprisingly enough, this met with a great deal of success. The nickels almost out-lasted the papers. Left to right: Roy, Marie, Patsy, Carroll, Pat, Sherry, Julie, Kenneth.

SENIOR SUB DEB CLUB The SENIOR SUB-DEB CLUB this year celebrated its 12th birthday. Originally this club was founded to meet the social needs of the girls in the Junior and Senior Classes. Our purpose is expressed in service to others and improvement of the individual. In the past years the projects the club has undertaken benefit the club and improve the school as a whole. Since 1949, we have had the backstage dressing rooms under our wing. We have fixed these rooms up by painting, placing curtains in them and supplying necessary furnishings. which we look forward are the hair-styling clinic at the end of the year in Two of the annual highlights to held at the Debonaire Beauty Parlor and the beach party Clearwater.

The new members come to school dressed as prominent world figures and give speeches during the day on subjects concerning the person they represent.

Our new constitution requires each one of us to have an individual project to be either display, d or reported on orally. Our project for improvements of the school is to purchase two biological display cases for the school library. To raise money for this project, we ran a concession stand at B-squad football games and also sold homemade candy (more of our experiments) during the 7th period.

By learning all about their colorful legends and customs, we feel we are beginning to know our South American neighbors better. Every year it has been the custom of our club to travel to Tampa and in the Spanish atmosphere of The Columbia Restaurant to eat a typical South American meal of Arroz con polio (Chicken and yellow rice). Our project, although it doesn’t concern Spanish, is a useful gift to the school. This year our aim is set for a water cooler to place in the band building. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Padgett, we the members, will take a siesta until next year.

LETTERMANS’ CLUB Sportsmanship Above All To earn a letter I worked hard and furiously in the afternoons after school. Upon receiving this treasured article I was invited to join the LETTERMAN'S Club which is composed of students who have earned letters in some sport or athletic activity. We don't have regular meetings but when something important comes up we call a meeting. In past years we have worked to improve our athletic program by purchasing score-boards for football and basketball. This year we selected as our project the building of dugouts for the baseball team. Classmen, we would like to encourage you to participate in sports. When you earn a letter we will be happy to welcome you into our Lettcrman's Club.

There is something new in Winter Haven High School and yet it is not new—the GLEE CLUB. In previous years it has had to rush and cram in about one week to get ready for a contest, because Mr. Wood had too much to do with the bands and didn’t have the time for practicing with the Glee Club. This year we have a new director, who hails from Conneticut—Mr. Walker. He took over the Glee Club as his main duty and has devoted much time and work to building it up. The attendance system he set up made certain that everyone attended the practices first period, three days a week. GLEE QUARTET—Donald Locke, Jimmy Rodgers, Jimmy Wasmund, Walter Norden.

CLUB We have given assembly programs for both Junior and Senior High, given concerts in and out of Winter Haven and attended both District and State Contests. This year also saw under the inspiration of Mr. Walker the establishment of group singing in assemblies. As we look back on the year we can see that the Glee Club of Winter Haven High School has had a very successful year.

Under the direction of Mr. Roy Prof’ Wood and with the help of our officers, our band has continued to make Winter Haven proud of it. Throughout the past year we have made better than eighty public appearances. Before school started, I asked my classmates in the band just what they looked forward to most this year. I received the same answer from most of them, I just can’t wait to make those trips,especially to the state contest.” But, the ones who ride the busses day in and day out, of course, would wonder why a bunch of kids would go wild over riding some old school bus, sit two and a half hours, get all wet or cold, and then come back in tl e same hard buses. Well, the answer lies disguised in the form of sportsmanship, pride, team and good old down to earth spunk.

When the team is winning we arc happy; when it is losing, Mr. Wood bites harder on his stoogy ’ and we yell a little louaer. It a band member gets into a little trouble unintentionally, the band is right there to help him out. And when it comes to work I have yet to see an organization which can hold a stick to it. Football drills or contest playing, it is all the same, we are one for all and all for one. The hours that go toward making up a seven minute drill or an hour concert really mount up. At night practices we come dressed in •anything from red shorts and a black top hat to dungarees and skull cap. But believe me, we work just as hard as our clothes go to extremes. We feel that the memory of the band will remain in the hearts and minds of the students of Winter Haven High School long after all studies of high school are forgotten.

Our Better Half SQUIRT CORPS Many girls want to be majorettes. Our MAJORF.TTF. SQUAD is quite large, and we do take a lot of ribbing, but all in all we enjoy it. We senior majorettes have a time trying to keep up with the Squirt Corps”. Everyone is constantly telling us of our need of improvement. Once in awhile, however, some understanding person gives us a boost with a kind word. Every Monday and Thursday afternoon we all hurry over to the band building and change into slacks, dungerees or shorts. We go to the football field where one of the girls leads us through a routine. After about thirty minutes of this, Mr. Wood decides we need some exercise, so for the next twenty minutes we do body-bends and other things. After days of this a parade comes along and we get to show pit all that we have learned. Band Capers First row: Jerry Whitehead, Lila Jo Selman, Joan Faye Brown. Second row: Jerry Pierce.

The BLUE DEVIL BAND usually is scoffed at by the Concert Band but this year we have responded to this competition and are giving the Concert Band a real scare. This is the first year that the Blue Devil Band has made many public appearances at football games, parades, and the series of winter concerts that are given each year.

Fifth row: James Kriston, Ronald Merritt Wesley Ellis, Nancy Craver, Miles Plowden With the experience which we are acquiring in the Blue Devil Band, we believe that if and when we reach the Concert Band that we will add greatly toward making it a better high school band. There are only two high schools in the state of Florida that have two senior high school bands and we are proud to be one of them.

This is the problem that Coach Bill Ortt had to cope with in the 1951 Basketball season. With only one returning letterman. Coach Ortt had to build a team. Of course it wasn’t to be a championship team, but it turned out to be one of the highest spirited teams ever to play for Winter Haven High School.

The schools of the state were divided into Class A” and B”, and we had the honor of winning both the boys and girls’ trophies. This state meet was held at Davis Islands Pool in Tampa on May 12. In order to be there by 9 a. m. we had to get up bright and early. On the trip over everyone tried to forget swimming in hopes the butterflies” would go away. But no such luck, they continued to swarm until the score was totaled with us as state champions. Wouldn t it give you a wonderful feeling to know you set 11 state records? Well, it ic us a so. as t e girls team set 7 and the boys’, 4. Later we feasted at “The Colombia” as guests of Norlee Thornhill. Besides participating in the state meet, we were often called upon to present water shows and demonstrations at various cities. Truly we enjoyed this year of swimming. Under the coaching of Tom Costello, we hope we can live up to our name as we now enter Class AA”. 1950 STATE SWIMMING CHAMPIONS Sitting: Lamar Smith, Jimmy Pugh, Bobby Paullin, Bud Gaines, Valorie Noll, Billie Stokes, Louise Jacobson, Norma Jean Webb, Carolyn Linebaugh, Margaret Gunter, Clayton Harmon, Jimmy Chaffin, Jimmy Wasmund.
