BOBBY CRABTREE President SHIRLEY HOGSTON Vice President MAYNARD MOORE S ecretary NANCY CAMPBELL Treasurer REBECCA BURGESS Reporter '58 Seniors Take with Them Many Memories As our Senior year in high school comes to a close, we look back over the years with glad, yet somehow sad hearts. We are glad because of the wonderful experiences we have enjoyed and all the new friends we have made. We are sad because we realize that the happiest and most enjoyable period of our lives must end. 'I'he fond memories of these years will live in our hearts forever. A few events stand out from all the rest as we reminisce about our past high school days. In our Freshman year in 1954-55, Mr. Shipley, Mr. Neblett, and Miss Sampson were our patient sponsors. Since this was really our first year in high school, we were beginning to feel important and more as if we belonged in various school activities. One of our classmates, Nancy Campbell, was chosen Miss Saltville, and Sena McCready was elected class president. The class showed progress during its Sophomore year .under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Sheffield and Mrs. Bennett. Sena McCready again served the class as president. When our Junior year came around, we were really starting to roll. A hilarious stunt, Roll Out the Barrel, easily took first prize in Stunt Nite, and the class presented the best Junior Play ever, entitled Professor, How Could You! Our float also took third prize in the annual Homecoming parade, and Shirley Hogston won the high school popularity contest. Ronnie Coulthard was president of the class, and Carol Ivey won the first Miss Jaycee beauty contest. A lovely prom with the theme Moments to Remember, was given the graduating class of '57. The tremendous success enjoyed by the class that year was due largely to the splendid leadership of the Junior class sponsors, Mrs. Clear and Mrs. Ballah. Now is 1957-58 we are living the most memorable school year of our lives. At last we are Seniors and the fact that we are to be the FIRST graduating class of our new Worthy High School adds to the excite- ment. One of the thrills of the year was the arrival of our class rings. Our capable sponsors, Miss Wor- sham and Mrs. Parks, have been busy lining up money-making projects, and the class has a good start toward their Washington trip. Bobby Crabtree was elected class president, and John Booth was chosen to serve as Lieutenant Governor of his divi- sion of the Key Club. Our stunt, a take-off on The Lawrence Welk Show, won Hrst prize, and Mack Campbell and Nancy Campbell reigned as King and Queen of the Homecoming Court. Joye Frye was chosen Miss Jaycee, and Jeanie Sanders was Queen of the Tabacco Festival. When our Shakers captured the Group I Southwest District champion- ship in football, many Senior players received honors. These have been just a few of our more impor- tant experiences, but we are sure that each Senior has his own private memories that cannot be des- cribed. The Senior class of '58 hopes that this an- nual will serve as a lasting memorial to the best years of our lives.
