Wright School for Girls. Since then, there has been evident throughout our school a distinct atmosphere of cordiality. Wright's has promoted amity be- tween parents, teachers, and students by bringing them close in every phase of school life. Strong friends too, are our advertisers who have faithfully an- swered our requests. Since friendship so clearly pervades our lives, we have made it the theme of the 1960 Wrighiorian. bi .7 if 1 Officers of the Board of Trustees pause in Mr. Delaneys office before regular meeting: Vice-Chairman Curtis Ken lall Treasurer Guy Faulk jr., Chairman Henri Aldridge, and Secretary Winthrcip Hallet.

As administrator he directs the finances of our school from the play-money store of the Kindergar- ten to the real-money budget of all our resources, and coordinates our academic programs from ap- plauding the efforts to read in the first grade to awarding diplomas at graduation. In addition, he supervises such matters as maintenance, enlargement and public relations. A well known historian, Mr. Delaney sometimes teaches government and history courses, his favorite being the story of Mobile. His classes include much experience with historical shrines and landmarks. It is of pride to us that he is in wide demand as a speaker and research consultant. We students know him best as friend and coun- selor, who permits us to assist him in arranging our confused likes and dislikes into a workable schedule of study: But Mr. Delaney, if we have phys. ed. first period, our hair stays stringy all day. Oh, yes, I'd like a study hall last period, I can get a tan on the steps. I just can't pass Latin, I'm dead in that course! In assisting him as counselor, We bring to him such weighty considerations as: But Mr. Delaney, I couldnt wear my uniform shoes, they're too little! But I don't deserve these demerits, I wasn't talking, just listening! I couldn't bring my gym suit, the washing machine broke down. In coping with us, from administrative duties to our minute and manifold needs, Mr. Delaney im- presses us with his ingenuity and finesse. Judy Covington s subjects complicate the organization of Mr All ages enjoy visiting Oakleigh when Mr, Delaney goes along Delaneys yearly jig saw puzzle the schedule board as guide. Wlmether doing the Virginia Reel with the Kindergarten. counseling with seniors about college, or corresponding with alumnae, Mrs. Boazman shows an infinite amount of dedication and enthusiasm for XVright's and its ideals. Her special love is the elementary school. She is summoned by her little friends at the most un- usual times to participate in such activities as judg- ing art achievements, reading poetry and skipping rope. Her love is also returned in large measures, for hardly a day goes by when some little delicacy, flow- er, or some other token is not laid by two small, careful hands on her desk. Wfe high school students are loved only slightly less than our little sisters. livery birthday is remem- bered with a personal note, letting us know that she is aware of us as individuals and that she shares our dearest wishes.

Through sharing her inspirational books, giving us food for thought, and of course, showing per- petual interest, spirit, and kindness to all girls at Wright's, she has helped form personal ideals and inspired us to attain high hopes. Dedicated, inspired and inspiring- these are just a few of the many attributes of our beloved and cherished Mrs. Boazman. lm- sc ,ji K, I 3 S .. f f we 'l i s f Mrs. Mrytle Harris Boazman, Dean ITP.

Mrs. Murphy's enthusiasm causes even a fifth period geometry class to be interesting. Is Beauty The world of mathematics has infinite scope and appeal because the Greatest Mathematician cre- ated it in strength, beauty, and perfection, to be al- ways of use to man. These words of Mrs. S. S. Murphy our mathematics instructor, reflect the feel- ings of all who have earnestly studied this exact science. In the beginning geometry studies, Mrs. Murphy points out to us the angles of tree limbs and roots, the prisms and cubes of crystals, and the sun and moon. All of these were created by God with infinite care and precision for us to use, from measuring ingredients for biscuits in the kitchen to sending rockets into space. Wfe also learn that mathematics is a mirror of civilization. From the Pythagorean theorem to Ein- stein's formula EIMC2, we are aware of the history as well as the fundamentals. As we progress in our studies of numbers and their applications, we are also impressed with the constant presence of some- thing infinite in every problem. Through mathe- matics, clear results of right and wrong can be achieved, which give us a sense of fulfillment, not to be found in many other studies. ln solid geometry class Dorothy Rogers points out the cylindc-r's element as Mrs. Murphy explains its similarity to the edge of a rectangular solid, while Brenda Moore and 'Ioan Burney await their turn at perspective construction.

Mrs. Thomson assists us in comparing themes and techniques of composers, interpreting modern impres- sionistic musicg learning the history of operas and other compositions, and even in finding hidden classical melodies in rock- and-roll. In addition to the pure joy that we receive in musical experiences, we have learned an important actuality-that music is univer- sal, whatever race, nationality, religion, or rank, everyone loves a well-written piece of music.

P.E. I Shoulders up! Stretch, two, three, four! Pause, two, three, four! These are the fa- miliar sounds that rise between the groans of calisthenic warm-ups at each physical education class. Malevolent thoughts of exams, grades, term papers, demerits, and boys are forced away from us with every exercise. Thoughts of school spirit, games, and fun replace them. After a thorough' tune-up we are ready to put all our energies into basketball, baseball, or volleyball. XVe keep in form for the rigorous competition of intramurals and tournaments with other schools, where our teams display friendli- ness, skill, and good sportsmanship. The faculty-student basketball game showed everyone who really has the upper hand in our school. Even with the referees ringing goals for them, with their team playing on the wrong side of the court, and clutching student players by the seats of' their pants, the teachers did not have a chance! The long-awaited Blue-jean Day brought contests, relays, trophies, and picnics. ' gg , ,HQ Wllyaf ,M Q ,, .t.?li,f as so A ta s .

In each activity we have an opportunity to strengthen the ties of friendship with our class- mates, Seniors Complete Four Wonder-Full Years After three years filled with outlandish busi- ness schemes, sales promotions, and money-making projects, we Seniors took our last high school year as a prolonged rest. With mingled feelings of laziness and guilt, or rest and peace, we passed a rollicking nine months. We watched with many laughs and more appreciation as the lower classes Went to all extremes to earn money to give the Seniors a party. And we went to every party given! After a rich season of teas, dinners, and Coke parties, it was estimated that our class collectively gained one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Our parents watched in tolerant yet horrified silence as heaps of new and beautiful dresses poured ing silk and tulle billowed out every window. They wanted our Senior year to be perfect, and it was, in every detail. We remember with pride the light- ing of the school candle at Christmas, the holy ser- vice following, and the beauty of tiny flames taken from the larger one. Held tightest in our memories are the graduation exercises, with bright flowers and ribbons, soft lights and music, and us in pure White and tears. Of all the Senior Classes that have ever existed, ours was unquestionably the best! To quote one of our teachers: This Senior Class without exception has distinguished itself be- yond the realm of the school in social, civic and religious activities. From the students and faculty at Julius T. Wright, we have received all the gifts that made a wonder-full year.

Freshmen Prepare for Congress Regulars 31.00 - White Walls 31.25 This, our Freshman motto, was screeched to any- thing from Corvairs to Cadillacs one early Saturday morning in the driveway behind school.

By five o'clock Treasurer Joyce had FIFTY-THREE DOLLARS jangling in her jeans. Of course, there would have been a louder rattle in that pocket if certain young gentlemen had not been given reduced rates. Our second project was the paper drive. Not only was it successful financially, but also the drive created an excellent impression at home. Due to the great hoards of print collected by class members, some parents even believed their daughters had pos- sibly become interested in current events. And look out, Congress!

Eighth We enthusiastic Eighth Graders clisdainecl the other ordinary smaller hge rooms and staked our claims on the 9401 sqhares of the GYMNA- SIUM floor. Also, our homeroom teacher, being the GYM instructor, we were very physical educational minded, Wfe made up half of the Physical Education Club, and spend our spare time in the GYM practic- ing volleyball, basketball, and other body-building contortions. Our class supplied twelve of the twenty-two entries in the junior High Tennis Singles, and six of the thirteen teams in the Doubles. No one's socks hopped as constantly as ours at the Chinese Sock Hop, in the GYM, sponsored and chaperoned by our Student Council. And that Eighth Grade Cotillion in the GYM! Blind dates, steadies, brothers' friends, best friends's boy friends, parents' friends' sons, and a few daring stags. And the next morning - demolished satin slippers, crushed corsages. Birmingham, here we come - Where from? The GYM, of course. Early one morning, we all gathered at school with suitcases in hand and mis- chief in mind for Alabamays magic city. Cut trip was a huge success - one that neither we nor the Vulcans can ever forget. ' This summer we plan to visit Mrs. Watts at her house at Fowl River: but who knows?

Pink Heaven for our home room Cthe ex-gymj cov- ered with well-used mirrors for primping. Pink Va- nilla for recess, our favorite morning activity. Pink Intellect for our classes of library technique with Mrs. Pape. Kissing Pink for our mistletoe-decorated Christmas party. High, higher, highest-our shoes rose a total of 37.5 inches for the big dance. Upward soared our spirits and our treasury for our caper-filled trip to New Orleans. With precise etiquette we entertained our mothers at our first Mother-Daughter Tea. Inflation was everywhere, but highest of all were our volleyball scores. Armed with sweatshirts, volleyballs, and school spirit, we proved who was tops. Happy, happier, happiest are we looking toward the summer and the eighth grade.

All year we have tried to make this statement our motto. The Welfare Department distributed boxes of clothing which we collectedg one large family feasted Thanksgiving Day on the basket of groceries that we provided, and CARE added eleven dollars to its fund from our 'Christmas contribution. We have had some thrills tool We had lockers downstairs, where we did our unparalleled best to pro- vide part of the clamor and calamities associated with the periodical stampedes. Another thrill was Jane Lynnis dancing party. And we invited dates! Now, we are peeping over the threshold of a big step-JUNIOR HIGH.

Filtration To We could constantly be seen bouncing out the front door on our way to F.B.I. courts, New Orleans, Filtration plants or naturalization ceremonies. Ours was indeed a traveling group. The Junior Red Cross could claim all twenty- one of us as active supporters. We sponsored all school activities from Christmas packages to mem- bership drives. We had a Christmas, Halloween, Valentine, Thanksgiving party. Any time we could, we had a party. Our most esteemed visitor was the celebrated Mr. Pigeon who walked in the window to stay for a day and caused enough excitement to keep our tongues wagging for a year. The number five will always mean excitement to us. Thanks to our art classes the school is always dressed for the holidays. Pigeons With Fifth rade W 1 53 M .

French Phrases Heart In Fourth rade l Bonjour, mer rmzierf Comment czllez-roar? These are just a few of the useful French phrases that have been heard in the fourth grade this year. Studying French has been only one of the interesting parts of our curriculum. For this year, we can accredit to ourselves such things as learning how to divide, studying some of the countries of the world, practicing new games, and of course making new friends. The year has not been all work. We have had many exciting parties - Halloween, Christmas, and other holidays - at the home of our classmates. Our class has also taken several field trips, one , favorite being to Oakleigh. Our nine-year-old eyes were astonished at the beauties of the Old South.

Cindy Davis Virginia Hand Page Harris Camille Levi Reba Neville McLeod Third Grade Crosses London Bridge may tumble, but not the bridge of the third grade, which is fortified with love, learning, under- standing, and ambition. This bridge leads from the small realm of little girls to the large wonders of big girls. The building blocks are heavy, but with the love of our teacher and of each other, we are able to wedge them in place. The foundation is citizenship. When we forget, Mrs. Tate writes our names on the blackboard but helps ease the pain by covering them with a picture. When we are on the citizenship honor roll, we have special privileges: reading to the kindergarten, playing the piano, and dress- ing our manikin. This year the manikin has been a pil- grim, a witch, and Mrs. Santa Claus. Trips are the beams of our bridge. They strengthen pasteurization, we visited the Bear Ice Cream Company, where we watched the purifying process, and tested the deliciousness of the ice cream. A trip to Dauphin Way Methodist Church taught us the inner working of the great pipe organ. Mr. Ralston let each of us play three notes all by ourselves. To show that we had truly crossed our bridge, we began to stay at school until- three o'clock during the sec- ond semester. We loved staying together longer and learn- ing more. As mortar to smooth our path, we were given a private suite of rooms in the annex: a classroom, a reading room and a powder room. In these we have gained knowledge, and another year of happy experiences to carry us safely to the fourth our understanding of other people.

Second Each week brought us second graders a brand new adventure: something to learn, a party to give, a trip to take. Holidays were always welcome - especially the party celebrations. We had our first ma.squerade at Halloween, and frightened each other with skele- tons, witches and squeals. At Christmas, we decorat- ed our own fir tree, a la second grade original, and wrapped surprises, which we had created, for our mothers. Easter eggs we hunted, and birthday cakes, of course, dominated our festivities. Bon Voyage - Off on another trip! We ex- amined Mobile quite thoroughly. Beginning, we jaunted around school, learning to follow safety rules. Wfe watched squirrels and birds, we col- lected seeds, which taught us how plants begin life. Pecans were our favorite seeds, can you blame us? Malbis Bakery was another outing. Bread, crackers, pastries - all were prepared right before our noses. Yum. Admiring our polite manners and rosy faces, the bakers brought out the pans of cookies for us to sample. At last experienced travelers, we embarked on an out-of-town expedition - to Citronelle. Having made friends with the ticket agent, we boarded the train. When it halted, there were before our wide eyes oilwells - big, black grasshopper-looking legs pumping oil right out of the ground. These excur- sions have been much fun. Now we want to see the rest of our big country. We look forward to next year so that we can continue learning, traveling, and having fun! For Columbus Day we planned a powwow for the kindergarden. ...gyf On cool days we slide together. rade - and Excitement Deborah Abell Pat Altmayer Curry Bedsole Grace Boykin Karen Breunig Marilyn Broadus Barbara Brothers Ann Brown Laurie Downing Grace Eskridge Mary Lou Grady Pamela Haidt Debbie Hartwell Patricia jones Jo Ann Magnes Rebecca North Tammy Olen Brenda Pierce Roberta Robinson Pamela Short Elizabeth Taylor Dorothy Tobin Merle Tunstall Ann Vincent Anne Williamson 3 MSX ,A meat H i Xu.

Our feet slipped from sandals to miniature bobby socks and gray suede shoes. Every morning now meant going to school in- stead of staying home with Mommy. Miss Hunter said to use our eyes and ears, so that as the thinking wheels turned around, we could learn to read. So we read to our Mommies and Daddies each night, counted to one hundred in English and to vingt in French. Spooky ghosts, witches and goblins transformed the classroom into a Holloween Haven. At Christ- mas we made our stage debut and recited The Night Before Christmas for the big girls. Afterwards, around the tree, we celebrated with a party. Easter brought colored eggs, bunny rabbits, and Mommies again. Mommies are not very easy to lose, but then who wants to? Sometimes they visited class. They would stay for an entire day - learning with us, playing with us, watching us. At home they tried to explain to our Daddy what we had been doing. Of course we had to help them! Our Mommies are always telling us to mind our- selves, as Miss Hunter says. We love the time when we read to one another in our circle. 67 We make delicious lunches at our sand table When the older girls are at class, we have the playground all to our O O Q I Kindergarten Fairies Whlrl Cindy Anderson Debby Beckham Marion Burkett Janru Curry Dulcie-Beth Delchamps Marion Dunn Lisa Gholson Melissa Johnston Patricia Lowe Elizabeth McGowin Lynn McGowin Cecile Metzger Melinda Mintz Kathy Murdock Gay Murray Lucy Murray jean Outlaw Dot Anne Patrick Mary jo Simmons Pam Stevenson Debbie Templeton Cheryl Walker Judy Wall Melissa White Donna Wyatt In Ever-Ever Land Once upon a time in a magical world called Kindergarten, there lived twenty-five fairy princesses and a fairy godmother. This fanciful world was filled with crayons, tea sets, dolls, stories, and the beginnings of knowledge. Here, too, lively things were always happening. A short walk around the corner, a cheery Hello to the friendly fireman, and quickly the twenty-five pixies were making a thorough search of the fire station in Ever-Ever Land. These fairies were always showing kindness toward others. They surprised their parents with a Christmas party, honored the senior class with a super-duper ice cream sundae, and even enter- tained Tweety, a tiny goldfinch, for two weeks, until he was called away to the paradise of birds. Wright's fairies will remember their adventuresome frolics in Kindergarten, and next year they will write for themselves how they lived happily ever after. iii i !1.,4S? tl-as pi 2. 1 weak When the rope goes too high, we laugh so hard we can hardly skip!

Changes! Changes! Change this ad- vertisement from a quarter-page to a half! This copy is too short, increase it ten characters! Diane's name is spelled with only one ng type this page again! From myriad changes among cluttered papers, stacks of photographs, and clicks of typewriters emerges our 1960 W1'ighI0rian, replete with Saturday pizza sessions, super sales gimmicks by Burney, Skipper, and Van Wezel, containing schemes to obtain that precious eighty-five dollar contract, and gift-shop- ping that waited until January because Christmas Eve meant wrapping a package of copy for mailing. One of the happiest changes is the acquisition of a private room, which we boastfully call the Wrightorium. Locked against the curious who might want to reclaim our little retreat, the Wrightorium holds all our materials: desks, tables, contracts, filing cabinets, flash bulbs, copy sheets, cookie jar and all other essentials. Perhaps, the greatest change of all is observable in our new staff members who, as innocent recruits, wide-eyed with awe, soon grew into sophisticated mistresses of such editorial arts as bleeding a picture, jumping a gutter, cutting copy-and meeting a deadline.

The Bible Club is the largest organization at XX'right's this year and thus meets in two groups. The junior club, composed of seventh through ninth graders, especially requested studying the Taber- nacle. Mrs. Murphy brought her replica of it, and everyone enjoyed adding each wall and piece of cloth to the model. A One of the ways in which the junior club car- ried out its theme of love was in the giving of a Christmas basket of toys, clothes, and food to a needy family. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who make up the Senior Bible Club chose to study the New Testament. New this year were the student de- votionals, one of which was the Junior Class's pre- sentation of the love chapter. Love entered the picture as we enjoyed Cokes and doughnuts brought by Mrs. Murphy on special occasions. Through our love for Mrs. Murphy, our school, and the Bible, we have grown mentally and spiritual- ly. The rewarding experience of studying God's book has made us know that the greatest of these ir love. if 3 . 1 ff. .Q fl! .lr .

But our sponsor refused to permit one feature of the program to be upstaged by the other. Quoted recently in Players, Miss Greene states the aims of the Pierettes: to acquaint students with drama as a separate art form and type of world literature, and to produce plays. And even though we were eager to reach the second objective, she would not neglect the first. So we must become ready. And we became ready! We breathed-from the depth of our chests. We spoke-with resonance. We smiled and grimaced-with emotion. We artic- ulated-with precision, and gesticulated-with artistic emphasis. We turned, and crossed, rose and fell-with poise. We hid behind grease paint, as- suming such convincing guises and dolls that we Officers of the Junior and Senior Dramatics club respectively, President grieved, but gloated in the thought that Helen Hayes Ann Kendall, Vice-President Mary Jane Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer Helen Johnston, President Lee Faulkg Secretary-Treasurer Mary Part- ridgeg and Vice-President Joyce Heindrich enjoy the outlook for dra- matic production invthe new auditorium. its K Find Pierrot and the other first ladies of the stage would soon be nothing more than footprints in cement. Observing other amateurs and professionals in the various media has enlarged our understanding of theater arts. Group readings have given us appre- ciation of drama as literature. Sponsoring public functions has been an ex- citing part of this year's work. Stage readings from Pygmalion brought guest artistsg and the variety show, for which Cammie Plummer provided the con- tinuity, exhibited the talents of our own performers. But the greatest thrill was staging our first full- length play, Little Wonzetz, The try-outs! The sus- pense of waiting for the cast to be announced! The male roles? Finally the selection was made: Jo, Se- rena Edgarg Meg, Elizabeth Browng Amy, Mary Jane Taylor, Beth, Rae Wfadeg Marmee, Ann Kendall, and Aunt March, Helen Johnston. Then We found four talented young men: Jack Horner, Bill Dolive, Tim Reed, and Harry McKinion. Nothing was spared in securing the best scenery and technical support for our actors. Nothing was lacking when the night arrived! Our year came to a dramatic climax with the Black-and-White Banquet, where every Pierette brought her special Pierrot. Now even our sponsor is convinced that we little women are equal to a full-scale production, complete with little men. ..., 5 .A li' ' Fatwa ..

Artists Have In early September, we of the junior and Senior Art Clubs changed our address from the annex to the former' gym. On moving day members could be seen carefully gath- ering protective boxes of multitudes of finger paints, water colors, pastels, and crayolas. After our caravan had trekked from the annex, a stream of tiny droplets of color-am- ber, turquoise, carmine, rose, crimson, and yellow could later be found on steps and walks as evidence of our ven- ture. In October, as a combined group but having both junior and Senior club officers, we 'explored the Old Cus- toms House Building during the Ford Motor Company's Traveling Show, which consisted of original landscapes found in magazines. November brought the Mobile Art Association's Ex- hibit with numerous pastels, oils, water colors, charcoals,' and crayolas of various impressions of art portrayed by inspired Mobilians. At the Public Library in December, the Fall jury Show was sponsored by the Water Color and Graphic Arts Society. Mrs. Westerfield, our advisor, received honorable mention for her own entry. Holidays!

Eugenia Cameron, art director, assisted professionals in planning and work, however, this did not prevent frantic, last-minute additions of a doorknob or an extra Camellia bush to hide the next scene's curtain. As soon as the new leaves and blossoms began to ap- pear, we eagerly participated in outdoor sketching. Familiar scenes of our school-our puppy-dog mascots chasing the first robin of spring, day-dreamy girls observing bud- ding leaves on the pecan trees from an upstairs window, exuberant kindergarteners playing hopscotch in the brisk air-all are captured in varying degrees of art. During the year students enjoyed a continuous art show held in our room, A glance at our activities and one can Well understand how this was made possible. Not only did we work with paints and crayolas, but also we used clay, saw dust, and plaster of paris to make various statu- ettes and masks. While Mrs. Wfesterfield taught us the history of art development through the ages, we experi- mented with Origamo. Using this method of Japanese paper cutting, we created everything from sleek airplanes to talking fish A busy, frantic, informative year? We think so.
