Witty, intellectual Don, with the scientific mind,” has always excelled scholastically.

He also did a tremendous amount of work helping to organize the Student Council. Don is going on to college next year and will study math and science. '7 hate definitions.” NANCYLOU NEAL Nan” Mirror 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 2. Nan, always smiling and cheerful, can be seen chatting with her many friends. About what? You guessed it—boys! Her carefree manner and infectious laugh have given many pleasurable moments to her fellow workers on the MIRROR staff. Here I am, you lucky people!” That’s our Nan.

RICHARD LOUIS MELLETTE Richie” Mirror 3, Art Editor 4; Science Club 4; Art Club 4; French Club 2; Prom Committee 4. I’m not Robert, I'm Richard.” This statement is common around the halls of Woodbury for these two handsome lads are twins, and more important they are identical twins. Richard (or is it Robert) has proven his ability as an artist by his diligent work with the VANGUARD, MIRROR, and other school activities that require the touch of an artist. His course of direction is uncertain, but we are sure that there is place for his talents. Know not which is which. ROBE.RT WILFORD MELLETTE Bob Mirror 3, Art Editor 4; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Art Club President 4; French Club 2. Here is the other half of the Bobsi Twins. Robert too has proven his artistic talents by long and hard work on the VANGUARD and MIRROR. Here the similarity between the two stops, for Bob's interest lies in scientific research, and he is acclaimed as the school’s rocket expert. Whatever his road may be we can vouch it will be a successful one. In science the credit goes to he who convinces the world.” JOHN CHARLES MILLER Johnny” Student Council President 4; AA Representative 3; Basketball 2, 3, 4; FFA 1, 2, Reporter 3, State Judging Team 3, National Judging Team 3. To try to pick out a distinguishing characteristic in this lad is impossible for he has many. A warm smile, a joke for every occasion, and lopping strides are characteristic of his easy going manner. But peek into the gym during the basketball season and you will see an amazing transformation, for he explodes. His work with a basketball is legend. His path is still in a fog but at the present it seems to be destined for the Navy. Woman would be more charming if one could fall into her arms without falling into her hands. iNa RUSSELL EDWARD MILLER Russ” FFA 1, 2, 3, Vice President 4. The screech of tires and the steady roar of an engine winding out” can always be associated with Russ. It is seldom that he flies without a co-pilot in the personage of a blond, brunette, or a redhead. His course has not been laid, but somewhere there’s a niche for such a rabid auto fan. Full of a sweet indifference.”

PAUL FDWARD RF.BNF.R Reb” FFA 3, 4. Paul was one of our later additions to the happy family, for he came to us in our junior year. A loyal and proud member of the Future Farmers of America, his work and efforts have helped the chapter tremendously. Paul is a little on the quiet side but don't let that fool you, for he can get into his share of mischief. His future is still clouded, but we wish Paul lots of luck and success. 7 am a great friend to public amusements. THOMAS HFATH RUTLEDGE Tom FFA 4. Tom, the newest member of our class, has already impressed his classmates with his frankness and class spirit. He will be remembered for one certain book report and his accounts to the class on his many and varied brawls. Although a new member to the F.F.A. Chapter, he has shown his willingness to work. Whatever his chosen life of work might be, if he ever needs references, his classmates could help him out. There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.” DOUGLAS PAUL SMITH Doug FFA Judge of Dairy Products 3, First State Farm Electrification 4. Doug is one of our students that make the long journey down from the hills of Oxford to attend school at old WHS each day. Friendly, easy-going Mr. Morgan has become a worthwhile member of our Ag Department and The Future Farmers of America. Doug can generally be counted on to add a cheerful note to all our classes. The best yon get is an even break. JEREMY FRANKLIN SMITH Jcrrr” Wide Awake Business Manager 4; AA Treasurer 4; Baseball 1, 4, Manager 2, 3; Soccer 4; Mirror 3, 4; Chorus 1, 3; Science Club 4; French Club 2. Need a loan? See Jerry. His hands control the school activities’ purse strings. The most evident of his many characteristics is his sense of humor and his eternal smile. During the winters of his sophomore and junior years, Jerry spent most of his time in a hospital bed with leg injuries. This however has not dampened his spirits and devotion for old WHS, for his presence among the spectators at any school activity has a rallying effect. The best of healers is good cheer.
