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. By two who remember Pat and Sherry Sponsors Miss Phyllis Smith Mrs. Lee Ila Copeland Mr. Clyde Hayman Miss Ruth Lovelace
