,Q-.--1-- - Februory Closs History Memories! Memories! In the glorious year of 1957, we found ourselves Freshmen in high school-at lastl With our trusty maps and misguided directions, we unsuccessfully tried to get to class on time. VVe were overwhelmed by the gen- erosity of our upperclassmen in their offering us a first chance to buy elevator ticketsf, seats in the auditorium, and compasses to find our way around this great institute of knowledge. By the time Student Council elections rolled around, we felt like full fledged members of the student body. We cast our votes, and Bill Smith was elected President. Do you remember our first exams which left us completely brainwashed and baffled? Then came a short summer followed by the task of re-adjusting to the fact that we were back in school. Invitations to join various clubs and organizations were extended to us, and some of the boys even got to be on the I. V. football team. The first football game was something that none of us will ever forget. We were a willing cheering sqlpad, yelling our lungs out until we couldnit speak the next day. And remember our first Homecoming w en Audrey Cherry was elected Queen and was crowned during half time of the big game by Mr. Sweeney? In our Sophomore year, due to the fact that our studies were getting harder, we had to put our noses to the grindstone and really buckle down and study more than ever. In March, girls had the opportunity to try out for the VI. V. cheerleading squad. But alas! Only ten lucky girls made it. In September, we returned with two new leaders--limmy Sanderlin was the new President of the S. C. A., and Dr. R. W. Allen, our new Principal. This prosperous 'Togethernessv year began with Diane Carlo be- ing elected Homecoming Queen. After we entered the Spring term, we were considered upper classmenf' This term was filled with end- less victories. Our basketball team won the Eastern District championship, followed by our Eastern District baseball champs. This was also the semester our girls tried out or Varsity cheerleaders. S. C. A. elections found Marty Brennaman elected President and we, as juniors, set up our first class organization, choosing Mr. Pat Riley as advisor. Iackie Drake carried on our Queen tradition. September brought several firsts,,' some good, some bad. Our football team lost its first Homecom- ing game. The Wilson coach was hung in effigy from the gym door. To top things off, the entire student body boycotted the cafeteria. We welcomed the beginning of our Senior year, for this was what we had looked forward to for 11 years. The basketball team placed third in the Eastern District. Threats of ending the glorious Baby Day tradition were rumored, but these proved to be false. On May 13, we frolicked in the halls, acting as silly as babies because it was Baby Day. Shortly afterwards, Dickie Lasting was elected S. C. A. President. At long last came the preparations for our first Iunior-Senior. Many late hours of hard work were re- warded by a thrilling night with the theme Some Enchanted Evening? As we returned to Wilson on September 6, we began planning for graduation under the direction of Bucky Owens, our President, and Mr. Ernest Etheridge, our advisor. The midnight oil burned, and the sweat poureg ofa our brows as we toiled over Senior themes. Then came a tremendous shock, ten dollars for 4B class ues. Next came our final Homecoming. Our beautiful float, which we felt would place first, didn't make it to the parade because of jeep trouble. But our sorrows were dismissed when Wilson upset a mighty St. Iohns team while Pat O,Brien, our Homecoming Queen, watched from the sidelines. Two weeks later our school had a new paint job in orange and blackf, Unfortunately, there was a sec- ond school nearby painted in orange and bluef, We ordered our announcements, calling cards, had our pictures taken, and were measured for caps and gowns. Our class play, ROCKET IN HIS POCKET, was our final display of talent. Graduation was a sad affair, but we will always remember our Alma Mater with the deepest love and respect, and we hope that the friends we left behind will remember us for that quality of which we are so proud-our ingeunity! 22
