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.

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.
