ifie 1954 REVEILL ALMA MATER Hail Alma Mater, hail, hail to thee To you we give our love and loyalty. Though our paths may lead away— And from you we stray. Still with you there'll be a tie HAIL WOODVILLE HIGH 1 Hail Alma Mater, we’ll always be Faithful to you. We'll always trust in thee. . , When bright skies bend over us Or the skies look gray. Still you'll be the guiding hand To point the way. Hail Alma Mater, hail, hail to thee, You’ll always linger in our memory. To you now we sing this song As in days gone by. . . Hail to you our Alma Mater, WOODVILLE HIGH1 ANNUAL STAFF MESSAGE A yearbook is the fondest and most treasured memory of a student's high school years. It re- minds us of teachers, classmates, activities, events and sports which we knew and were a part of as students. It is no small task to plan and put together a yearbook, as any Senior can tell you, but we believe the result--that of creating a book which will be the storehouse of memo- ries for us in years to come--to be worth the effort. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. McCraine, Mr. Gonda and the faculty for their continued help and guidance throughout our school years. Their patient training and example will be a guide for all of us in the future. And finally, to all the Senior Classes in years to come, we extend best wishes for a happy and profitable Senior Year at Woodville High. THE RAMBLER REVEILLE in the making.

Editor Dear Seniors: Students and teachers alike come and go, but the memories of your high school activities, experiences, and accomplishments as recorded in this, your yearbook, will remain for posterity to enjoy. ' In years to come, turn- ing through these pages will be worth the efforts and work you are now doing to make this the best issue of The Ramblers ever published. It is well recognized by all good educators that the fundamentals of an education are necessary, but it is also recognized that there are many values in extra-curricular as well as in the three R's. This yearbook will testify to the fact that Woodville High has a program that offers much more than the bare fundamentals. This fine annual is another testimony of the job you have done well in completing your high school course. My sincere wish for each and every one of you is continued success in your higher education and in your school of life. It is in your school of life where success will mean most to you.

CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1954 consuls of Jean Morris, President; Buddy Leake, Vice President; Betty Jo Blanchard, Secretary; Lallie Catchings, Treasurer; Thelma Smith and Lydia Leake, Reporters; Joan Anderson, Clarice Bonnette, John Lewis Brown, Mack Bunch, Jimmy Carter, Oliver Catchings, Ansie Jo Clark, William Davis, Robert Dooley, Berlin Morris, Sherry Scott, Virginia Wheeler, Frank Whittington and Wayne Whittington. We began our school career in 1942 in the old graded school building under Miss Annie Dooley. The highlights of our elementary grades were Miss Essie's long assignments, the multiplication tables under Miss Smith, Mrs. Lotta's struggle to teach us the thirteen colonies, and the conjugation of verbs under Miss Sarah. Sooner than even we ourselves realized or expected we graduated from the eighth grade. We were the first class to graduate from graded school in the new school building and to attend all four grades of high school there. Then as innocent, scared, but eager freshmen, we began our high school days. Due to the burning of Beech Stand School, we were happy to accept Lydia Leake and John Lewis Brown. Then under the leadership of Coach Philip Poole, our sponsor, we completed the first year. Our Sophomore year proved rather uneventful, except for our memories of the parties and dances arranged by Miss Speights, our sponsor for that year. The Junior year was full of work and worry. Berlin Morris and Robert Dooley joined us here. Oliver, by attending summer school, also joined our little group. This completed our number. We gave our first play, A Ready- Made Family” under the direction of Mrs. Nolan McCraine. It was a big success and made us very proud. We closed the year with our banquet and prom for the Seniors. The theme was “Stairway to The Stars. ” Now we are in the middle of the biggest year of all, the Senior year. We are working on our annual and looking forward to our play and Senior trip. Our sponsors for this year are Mrs. Nolan McCraine and Coach George Gonda. We are working hard so that our motto, God helps those who help themselves, might come true. SHERRY SCOTT and ANSIE JO CLARK CLASS WILL We, the class of 1954 of the Woodville High School, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament, in form and manner as follows; To the entire school we leave the example we have set as worthy scholars and blameless students. To the community at large we bequeath the influence we have had for the honorable and the good. To the Junior Class as a whole we bequeath treasures almost too numerous to mention. When the Juniors hear the recital of these rare legacies which fall to their possession, we scarcely ex- pect them to bear up under the shock. Our Senior dignity, our excellent wit, our superlative brilliance, our good looks, our charming manners, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades, our capacity for fun, our ability to giggle, our good times, our friendship and loyalty and our triumphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever seen--these are the rare treasures that we hand down to the coming Senior Class. And now we come to the following personal bestowals which have been awarded to individuals with complete consideration of the fitness of the re- cipient; Joan Anderson wills her ability to stay home and keep out of trouble to Sister Ferguson and Marilyn Flaccomio. John Lewis Brown wills his ability to get up his homework anytime, anywhere and anyhow to Wendell Beverly and Prentiss Ferguson. Betty Jo Blanchard wills her power over men and flirtatious way to Geraldine Cage and Gwen Stuart with the hope that they will enjoy using them. Mack Pearce Bunch, as class Romeo, wills all his Juliets to Mark Curry and Ted Nowell with the injunction that they keep them courted and comforted after they have gone to the great beyond. Clarice Bonnette wills her latest book, How to Get Him to Propose After Six Easy Lessons, ” to Sherry Smith and Pearl Walker. Oliver Catchings, Jr. wills his ability to be heard at all times to Charles Alvin Plitt and Norman Carter. Lallie Catchings wills her ability to get a boy friend and keep a boy friend, with the exception of a Junior boy friend to Martha Jane Pogue. William Davis wills his love for school, his hate of arguments, and his ability to get along with everyone to Bobby Priest. Ansie Jo Clark wills her wild and woolly way to Garland Ann Beard. Robert Lessley Dooley wills his admiration for all teachers to Edward Walker and H. L. Stutzman. Lydia Leake wills her reserved and sly ways to James Leggett and Alvin Havard. Patricia Jean Morris leaves her popularity to Clyde Leake and Bessie Tillery. Lloyd Terry Leake leaves his athletic ability and love for night spots to Brandon Inman. Sherry Mae Scott wishes to will her ability to leave school anytime she feels a draft to John Edward Thomas. Berlin Morris wills his studious way to Emil Habig and Charles Sturgeon. Thelma Gertrude Smith wills her love for diamond rings to Sylvia Ann Evans and Celeste Hutson. Frank Whittington wills his ability to sleep through every class and study hall to Junior David and Sylvester D'Aquilla. Virginia Wheeler wills her self-consciousness and ability to blush to Billy Manens and Thomas A. Waddell. Wayne Whittington wills his beautiful hair and luscious waves to Henry D'Aquilla and Ted Denstel. Last but not least, Jimmy Carter needs all he has. These bequests we give in all seriousness with the hope that they will prove as valuable to the Juniors as they have to the Seniors. Class of '54 CLASS PROPHECY The Class of '54 twenty years from now? ? ? ? ? As the picture opens we see a large office in the Pentagon with the name Admiral Mack P. Bunch written on thfe door. It looks as if Mack has worked his way up the ladder the hard way. It is rumored that a battleship is to be named after him. It is to be called the Mighty Mac. Next we see the headlines in THE NATCHEZ TIMES. Bank Robbers Foiled in Woodville by Alert Sheriff. Frank Whittington. He has made quite a name for himself. Besides foiling the robbers’ plans he has stopped all fast driving, card playing, gambling, and has even closed the pool hall there in Woodville. Next we see a permanent partnership has been formed. Yes, John and Jean have finally agreed on one thing and are now Mr. and Mrs. John is the owner of the largest goat ranch in the South now and his time is thoroughly occupied with his children and the goats. What is this we see? Well who would have ever thought itl We see Berlin Morris, who finally passed English after five or six yean, as superintendent of Woodville High. But, as you know, there is always a woman behind a man’s success. The one behind Berlin is Lydia, who does the household chores, minds the children and is the school secretary. As we drive along the road toward Beech Stand we pass a hugh plantation. The sign, we notice, has the name Flowen Planatation. “ As we approach the gate who should greet us but George and Thelma. Thelma finally hooked him. Next we see a superb member of the teaching profession. She is Virginia Wheeler, teacher of English at Woodville High. Her motto is A word from the wise is sufficient. Next we see Lallie Catchings David and Junior in their tremendous mansion on Sligo Street. As the door is answered by the butler, we are nearly trampled by her three charming little boys: Justine, Antonia and Anthony. Ansie Jo has become a poet and has met with great success. There are little Po Joes,” pardon me, 1 mean Riddles in the WOODVILLE REPUBLICAN each week. Did you see the latest sports headline in the TIMES PICAYUNE? It seems that L. S. U. hasn't lost a single football game this year. Lots of the credit goes to Coach Buddy Leake. We travel on to Memphis and there we visit Bonnette Old Maid's Home. It seems that Clarice completely failed to get a husband, so she has established a home for all charming old maids. We see Wayne Whittington exploring the deep dark jungles of the Amazon. Day after day he treads onward with his sling shot in his pocket and ever faithful Gail by his side. In the happy little town of Hollow Cannon, Oregon, we visit Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Jones and their ten happy children. Lucien has really made money in the real estate business, and everybody in town is unsuccessfuly trying to keep up with the Joneses. Jimmy Carter has laughed his way to the top. He wears his black coat and laughs the fears away as the Friendly Undertaker. We see William Davis as Sister Rosetta, the second. He is a star on the Grand Ole Opera” where he sings his beautiful love songs to all old maids. In the African Jungles we find one lone nurse striving to bring civilization to the Pygmies. This is Betty Jo Blanchard, who after six tries at marriage finally decided to give up and be faithful to her work. She is not a divorcee, but what happened to her husbands no one knows. We see Joan Anderson taking Doris Day's place in the show business. She is using her gay personality in entertaining her friends from the Mansion on the Hill. Down in the very southwestern part of Wilkinson County, we visit Dooley's Plantation. Yes, Robert now owns about half of the county. He attributes much of his success to the advice and cooperation of County Agent, Oliver W. Catchings, Jr. Oliver has recently won the distinction of being proclaimed the best County Agent in Mississippi.
