WRIGHT SCHOOL FOR GIRLS MOBILE, ALABAMA VOLUME III GHIORIAN YYY Y Y Y 277-- TO THE CLASS OF 1959: It is with a deep sense of pride and satisfaction that I am privileged, as the first Chairman of the Board of Trustees, to extend to the members of our first Graduating Class the congratula- tions and affectionate good wishes of your schoolmates, administration, faculty, patrons and trustees. That you shall bear the honor of going forth from the halls of Iulius T. Wright School for Girls representing to all the world the first fruits of the efforts of the many fine and generous peo- ple who founded our school should be a source of much gratification to you as well as to them. It is significant that the members of the Class of 1959 in a sense have made or shared in a number of firsts. Perhaps more so than any that shall follow after you. Most of you were among the first students to be enrolled in the first semester of the first year of Wrightls existence. You first opened its doors and filled its first classes. Its walls first echoed to the sounds of your laugh- ter and its new classrooms to your first recitations. You appear with honor and accomplishment among our first records and upon our first reports. Many of the school's first memories and traditions, destined to become hallowed by countless classes to come, were initiated under your leadership. Together with your fellow students you first met and largely resolved the first prob- lems and difficulties always inherent in the formative years of any truly worthwhile endeavor. Whether you were fully aware of it or not, as our older students you were the first to meet the searching scrutiny and critical examination of the people of this city and happily were the first to win their approval and applause. The first acceptance of our school by other and older institutions of learning was likewise due in no small part to the way you performed your several tasks. You shall be the first of many classes to come to be graduated from a new high school, fully accredited and warmly welcomed by many others which, perhaps, may equal, but never exceed, your own. To you then, our first graduates, as you move ahead into broader, sunlit fields of greater opportunity for learning and service, take with you the great love and pride that is ours because you have so handsomely ransomed our every confidence :nd expectation. Godspeed l X a we-e 4 OVZWKU' A pebble dropped into the still green water, the rings within a tree, the gradual formation of an exquisite pearl - these all depict growth. But the ripples in the water are soon gone, the 'tree and its rings can be destroyed, the most priceless pearl can lose its beauty and worth - these are finite growth. Unlike these, how- ever, a school can have limitless influence. Although Iulius T. Wright School for Girls is only three years old, it has established many institutions - some new this year. It is the hope of the WRIGHTORIAN staff that memories of these firsts, brought forth in the early development of our school, will be awakened by this book - to be relived and cherished. 5 X v-...J edicafiolz With devotion and admiration, the staff of the WRIGHTORIAN dedicates this 1959 edition to our first superintendent, Mr. Caldwell Delaney, who has guided us with strength and wisdom since the beginning of Iulius T. Wright School for Girls. 6 Administrator Examining Blueprints for the New Auditorium 3 iam, 'ws .ff ,.., L 1434 it Historian Posing Beside Model of the Hunley, the First Submarine 2 2 Teacher Explaining a Battle of the War Between the States N ll .Q - --:VE.- ,, - I E, ' ii F liiiiii Author Reviewing His Book, Remember Mobile Collector Inspecting One of His Steins 7 riqlzforialz Sfaff -c Dorothy Rcichcnbuch liclitur-in-Chief Muriel Cameron Busincss Manager 8 Carmen Williams Typist Patricia Van Wezel Advertising Manager Vee Mathews Advertising Manager l ' me n Ioan Burney Associate Business Manager Mrs. Hicks Advisor Pamela Pitman Associate Editor Dorothy Rogers Co-Literary Editor Norma Cook Co-Literary Editor Beth Noland Art Editor Amelia Moore Club Editor Cornelia Zieman Class Editor Carole Whigham Photography Editor Elizabeth Brown Patrons Manager Kay Davis Circulation Manager iw ,iiiam .Q- ..- ,H N. .,,,,,, K ,MU vb, .. .zx-w'a15'ssrWy , uw. , . ., , ,wif -fy-9-M ..

It is remarkably clear to us. Actually, it was a little more than three years ago - a long time . . . Sitting anxiously on the desk edges, we were overly nervous and fidgety to have gathered about us a cluster of friends, old and new. The girls who entered wearing the -new uniforms attracted the admiring and curious glances of the others in civilian attire. After the brief assembly, in which we were introduced to the school, faculty and advisors, we were ceremoniously herded to our home room, and therein were ominously beckoned to learn- ing portals by the sagacious Mrs. Hicks. It was a year of learning, for the teachers and the taught. Although it must be admitted by those who know, that we often managed to halt the progress of knowledge by a series of ingenious pranks. However, there are other episodes that will cause us to be well remembered. Our satirical skit of the faculty was undoubtably the best ar- rangement of words and make-up this side of Broadway. What fun the audience had with the gentle ridicule of the teachers! That spring, when we were feeling intensely the walls that shut out sparkling trees and cool enticing air, we managed to persuade Mrs. Hicks to take us on a field trip, as in days of yore and grammar school. We were amazed at the magical tricks of the chemists at the city's water works and spellbound at the pale blue water that splashed through a large, white, tile tunnel under the floors. From there we ventured forth to visit Big Creek Dam, which appeared a lovely painting in the haze of afternoon. Perhaps in our second year, as Iuniors, our most propitious undertaking was a class trip to Washington, D. C. After week upon week of hard work, during which we sponsored a movie and many candy sales, we managed to net enough money to finance the expedition. With Mr. Delaney and our two mother chaperones, we headed north on the Greyhound bus. The things we saw, the places we went! The Cyclorama in Atlantag in Washington, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Gallery of Art, the Capitol, and the White House, Annapolis, and on the way, the colleges and Williamsburg. Such an unforgettable and worthwhile experience. The weatherman was kind to send a plush quilting of snow to the enjoyment of us Southern belles, who were used to rain and steaming sunshine. That year we had charge of decorating the auditorium for the Father-Daughter Supper. Several of the artisti- cally inventive students in our class made the decorations to fit a Halloween theme. The Daddys got a big kick out of the papa and daughter pumpkins. Also we planned the theme for the Christmas observance at Wright's. From the ceiling of fluffy white clouds, exquisite angels looked down on the traditional candle-lighting ceremony - one of meaningful solem-nity and impressive beauty, as, while carols were softly hummed in the shadows, a girl from each grade lit a small white candle from the great one, symbolizing unity in love, work and play. During the summer of 1958, a number of Seniors-to-be gave up their tennis, swimming and golf to write a con- stitution for the first elective Student Council of Wright's. The work was thorough and analytical, and due to the active interest of the participants, was completed, and has proved a capable servant of the new and prosperifng gov- erning body of our school. Oh, it is fortunate there were no cameras about when the Seniors slaved to remodel the room to be the Senior Lounge. Window washing, painting, floor scrubbing and curtain hanging kept us busy, as all of us crowded in- draped in paint-smeared blue jeans and sloppy knee-length shirts - eager to have a part i-n the decoration. Now the underclassmen are permitted to observe enviously through the glass doors their Seniors lounging to the tune of hi-fi, Cola-Cola, and no books! Throughout our senior year, all the underclassmen honored us with parties to make this a memorable year: surprise parties, the Faculty Luncheon - just everyone, from our tiny kindergarteners' party to the elegant Iunior- Senior Banquet. But what we shall remember longest is the most significant achievement of all - our graduation. The evening was resplendent with the solemn ceremony and Seniors' white organdy dresses and flowers. Among our class are abundant club presidents or officers, and girls in other ways honored. One is the Lady's World Walking Horse Champion Rider. We have many artists, writers, actresses and sport-minded individuals. So, all-in-all, we are considered a well-rounded group of girls who loved dearly our school and its people. Let this not be farewell, for the things of infinite joy live in our hearts, forever. 29 wziors Pamela Pitman Cornelia Zieman Prexident Vice-President Ioan Burney Secretary-Treasurer Eliiabeth Brown Ann Kendall Dorothy Rogers Organizing the Lab 30 Mrs. Pierce and Officers union ' many. 5 ,.

Besides learning the fundamentals of music, they devote some time to listening to recordings, which vary from choral, orchestral, and operatic music to bop and jazz.
