Jonny is the most popular guy in our class. Why? With his winning personality, good looks, and willingness to do anything for anybody, he couldn't be anything else. He has shown his able leadership as president of the A.A. in '58 and as editor of our yearbook. Most likely to succeed, Jonny has been an honor student for four years and seems destined for a life of military discipline. When you call me that, SMILE! FRANK TANTON SPORIE Sporie Class Executive Committee 4; Honor Society; Student Council Vice President 4; FFA Public Speaking 1, Spring Judging Contest 1, 2, 3, 4, Fair Horticulture Contest 2, 3, 4, Chairman of Calendar Committee 3, 4; Mirror 1. This lad has been a valuable asset to both his class and to the school. His untiring work in the F.F.A. Chapter has helped produce a chapter of state wide fame. Yet his real call did not come until his senior year when he accepted the responsibilities of the vice president of the newly formed Student Council. His course will surely lead toward the agricultural field for he has already started building his success.

His trail is destined for college and, who knows, maybe even baseball fame. You do de pullin’, Sis Cow, en I'll do de gruntin’

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.

ROBERT WAYNE TAYLOR Hodge” Class Executive Committee 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, Co-Captain 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Soccer 3. Bob's shy smile and easy manner cause everyone to accept him as a friend. Nice shot, Hodge!” is an exclamation Bob hears many times a day. All his life lie has been interested in sports and has developed into an outstanding athlete. High scoring is in his blood, and we feel certain that he will score highly in future life. Never say more than is necessary.” JOHN ALLAN TOBIN Jackie That loud, rhythmic drumming you have heard coming from the boys room was, more than likely, John Tobin. John is that formerly, transplanted, Woodbury student who has returned home. Upon his return, he has made a hit with his witty sayings and snappy remarks. After his graduation he will leave for the Navy to serve two years for his country. Do titilo the other feller the way he'd like to do unto yon an' do it fust.” JOAN ALICE UNDERWOOD Joannie” Mirror 3, 4; Chorus 2, 3, 4; History Club 1; French Club 2. Shy, sweet Joannie, with her pretty dark eyes and hair, is a friend to all. Neat and prim, she sometimes surprises everyone with a burst of laughter. One can often see her riding around in her green bug or Singer. Joannie, like many of her classmates, is destined for some executive s lap. And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace. RUTH ANNE VILEISIS rrRRooT!” Mirror 3, 4; Basketball 3, Co-Captain 4; Chorus 3, 4; Art Club Vice President 4. Since Ruth's arrival at WHS in our junior year, she has made a name tor herself as an individualist and a nonconformist. This tall, thin, brunette is creative and has proven herself as a member of the girls' varsity. Determined to be a career girl, Ruthie will probably become an economist, or a lawyer, or maybe a writer on the Left Bank. I ask to know.”
