Although we were rather ignorant concerning the ways of high school, we soon learned under the direction and guid- ance of Mrs. Chambers, our home room teacher, who was very patient through our first year of school. When the sophomore year rolled around, the ones of us who had survived the first rugged year were well acquainted with the trials and tribulations of high school, and we approached the doors of Woodleaf High with a degree of confidence that had been lacking the year before. Twenty-four of us were able to continue the climb toward the goal of our high school years, that of graduation. The junior year was filled with various activities for all of us. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the part we took in making the banquet possible. Some of us also took part in the Beta Club play which was presented in the spring. The marshals chosen from the Junior class for graduation were Bobby Ward, Louise Fleming, Nannie Mae Harris, Katheryn Brindley, and Donald Watson. When the final year rolled around there were twenty-four of us yet. Two had left school but two more had entered the class. The Senior year was the most enjoyable of all. Our first big assignment was the Hallowe'en carnival. This called for a great deal of work from everyone, but it was well worth the time and effort required. The editing of the school annual proved to be the biggest job of our entire school year and school lives, but we were able to complete this job with the help of Mrs. Chambers and all the others who were kind enough to take an interest in our annual. The graduation exercises were the climax to twelve years of work and play at Woodleat High School. We are deeply indebted to our teachers, to our principal, and to everyone who has made it possible for us to acquire one of the greatest things a boy or girl could wish for, and one that can- not be taken away from us, once it is gained; that is a high school education. We know that the knowledge which is ours will help us to be useful citizens as we take our places in this world which demands clear thinking and makes no allowances for people who constantly make mistakes.

After measuring each member of the class, we find a great variance in the boys’ height, ranging from five feet, four inches, to six feet, three inches, with an average of five feet, ten inches. The girls’ average height is five feet, five inches. Even a greater difference in the weight of boys is noticed. We are proud of our 110-pound “midget’’ and our 280-pound giant. However, the average senior boy will weigh 16] pounds. The girls are of almost uniform weight with an average of 117 pounds. Blue and brown eyes are shared in equal percentage by eighty per cent of the class. The other twenty per cent have green and gray eyes. The heads of 67% of the seniors are topped by brown hair, while 21% have blond, 8% have red, and 4% have black. In politics, the preference of the majority of the class is the Democratic Party although some prefer not to reveal their pret- erence. A good foundation supports the class of 1948, the average shoe size being 7%, with the girls wearing a size 7 and the boys an 84. Various religious denominations are represented by members of our class, the majority being Methodists. BOBBY WARD, Statistician 2 « % Close Up—three grinning beauties. Relaxing at lunch time.

NANNIE MAE HARRIS, Testator “se CLASS POEM We have come to the end of our High School Days And pausing with a tender thought, We think of all the benefits That to us our school has brought. Memories pleasant we'll always have, Of the twelve short years just past, Though now to us the future calls, We'll remember them to the last. Friends we've gained here will not forsake Future pathways they will cheer And both in joy and sorrow .too Comfort us throughout each year. And now to us the great world calls All our dreams to realize, Higher our work we'll still pursue For success in the future lies. We are starting life anew Our work has just begun And so while striving to do our best. “We'll find a way or make one.” LILLIAN SPEAS, Poet Motto We Will Find A Way Or Make One.” MassliW@alons @lossiElowen Blue and White Red Rose Class Night Officers Valedictorian Salutatorian Prophetess DOROTHY BECK Testator NANNIE MAE HARRIS Poet LILLIAN SPEAS Statistician BOBBY WARD Historian DONALD WATSON Giftorian GRAHAM SWICEGOOD Our Mascots SHELLIE SHOAF DALE BLUME PROPHECY Last summer while | was on a cruise to the Hawaiian Islands | met a very interesting couple who appeared to be of foreign descent. They invited me into their stateroom and told me about some of the customs of their land. As our conversation lingered, | looked about the room, and suddenly my gaze fell upon something that amazed me. It was a crystal ball, and | could actually see images forming in it. The man was still talking and, unnoticed, | walked over to it. Then, these words appeared: “The Senior Class of 1948—Woodleaf High School.” The mist cleared and | saw a very familiar image—a five star general in the marines, and the general is none other than Graham Swicegood. | next gazed upon a sign at the entrance of one of the world’s largest dairies, “Pot-Neck Juicery,” which specializes in cows that give chocolate milk. The owner is Donald Honbarrier. The scene changes now, and what is all that noise? It is Martin Barbee, now a great Hilly-Billy song writer, surrounded by a large group of swooning Bobby-Soxers. A large building is looming before me now. It is Harvard University, a college where everything is taught. The professor, dressed in a long robe, turns around, and I see that it is Thomas Langford, the teacher of Smooch- ology. The crowded court room of a Chicago court house now appears before me. Court has been in session for three days, and the district attorney is just about at his wits’ end. He has been trying to get the conviction of Bobby Holt in the case of “Who Pushed The Biddie In The Creek?” The D.A., is none other than Bobby Ward. The radio comes on now and a half-hour of good string music is played by the famous “Bush-Jumpers.” The leader of the band is Walter Lee Goodman. A mad rush to all the department stores is now taking place. The cause of the rush of the women is a new invention——stockings guaranteed not to run, creep, pick or tear. The inventor of this wonderful money saver is Darwin Correll, the famous inventor of 1958. A fashionable New York mansion now looms before me, and as | eagerly watch, | see a man who is wildly trying to escape from the flying pots and pans and a rolling pen. The wielder of the rolling pen is Nannie Mae Harris who is after Dee for swiping a penny from her piggy bank. | now hear a famous orchestra playing a famous selection, “Tonight Is the Night,” written by Jean Yarbrough, a famous song write. She was inspired by Howard Painter. A large crowd is gathered in Madison Square Garden, where a citation is being given. The citation is for breaking the world’s woman’s track record. This honor goes to Hilda Click. | now see a big Greyhound bus whizzing down a long. stretch of highway. Lawrence Safley, the driver, has just received an award for driving One Million miles without an accident or a flat tire. There is a girl in a white uniform hurrying down a long hall. She has a hypodermic needle and gobs of pills. It is Maude Lee Swicegood, who is head nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The scene now shifts to the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus. As the scene becomes clearer, | see the world’s largest and smallest men; the largest being C. W. Myers and the smallest Bobby Williams. | now see the pennant winning Yankees’ crack coach, Donald Watson, talking to his best pitcher before he starts the world’s toughest game. The pitcher is none other than the all-star Sidney Blume. In a distance | see waving palm trees and as I draw nearer, | see a sign, “Quiet On The Set.” The famous picture, “Are You Going,” is in the making, and as the director turns around, | see that he is none other than Garland Pope, an old ciassmate. Now, | approach the Hawaiian Islands, and | see a famous Hula-Hula dancer. The dancer is Thelma Powlas, who is surrounded by a group of cheering natives. She is accompanied by her partner, May Trexler. They have almost succeeded in teaching the natives a new Hula dance. | now see a missionary in the deepest African jungle surrounded by natives. She is none other than Louise Fleming. (She inspired the author of the song “Civilization.’’) Now, | see a large, widely read newspaper. On the front page | see an article, “Girl Typist Wins $1,000,000.” My eyes bulge, and as I read further, | see that the article is about Lillian Speas, who has won first place in a world typing contest. Softly, | hear sweet music playing. The conductor turns around, and | see—why it’s Ruth Click. Her music- makers are called, “Ruthie, and her all gal orchestra.” Now, in a large New York office, 58 stories above the street, | seem to hear the click of a typewriter. I peep through the keyhole and see Dorothy Beck who types faster than her boss can dictate. Every once in a while I hear her boss say, “Hey, wait for me.” Then, the vision faded, and | began to make preparations to leave the stateroom. Of all my trip, | enjoyed the “look back at the Class of 748” the most of all. DOROTHY BECK, Prophetess Mr. Langford, our Agriculture teacher, who was absent when the pictures were made Mrs. Waller, our music teacher How did that get in here? Nice dressing roms, boys. First grade reading class—C-A-T—cat! “On the flying trapeze.” Our Cafeteria Staff. Chow time—come and get it. Just relaxin’ ’n eatin’. Roll “them” bones, kids. Seniors—one happy group. Are we seeing things? Our chauffeurs—a swell bunch of guys.
