History O} De es (Sie Of 1950 September ‘46! At last we were Freshmen. For eight years we had hoped and longed to be a part of the high school student body and now we found ourselves a slightly shy and timid, vet eager group of boys and girls entering the door of Woodleat High School with Mr. Paul Donnelly as our advisor. We worked hard that year and in due time were awarded promotions to the tenth grade, with Mrs. Geneva Harrill as our advisor. The year sped by, crowded with work and vcleasure and almost before we knew it we were a group of twenty-one “Jolly Juniors”, with Miss Current as our sponsor. Our first big task was our Maga- zine Drive, and what a time we nad achieving our one hundred fifty dollar goal! The highlight of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Finally came the day of days for which we had striven four long, long years—the day on which we were officially called Seniors, wise, experienced dignified Seniors! Some of the out standing events of this year were: The Halloween Carnival, Senior Play, Junior-Senior Banquet, receiving our Class rings, and publishing our annual. Mrs. Chambers was our advisor, and our class officers were: President, Witlie Perrell; Vice-Presi- dent, Billy Steele; Secretary, Joyce Williams; Treasurer, Johnsie Pinkston. Our mascots were Kay Thomason and Nelson Liven- good. And now that we are about to close the door upon which we knocked as Freshmen, we wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion to our teachers, principal, fellow-students, and most of all to our parents who have made possible these twelve pleasant years. Now we say farewell with the hope that we may always remember and always practice our Motto, “Quitters Never Win; Winners Never Quit.” JOHNSIE PINKSTON, Historian
