THE SENIOR HISTORY One bright and sunny day in the month of September in the year of 1940, 25 screaming, kicking, struggling geniuses (original members of the class) were taken by adoring parents to school. It may be noted here that the teachers took one look and threw Op their hands in despair. Thus did the classs begin its illustrious career in W.H.S. Through these 12 years this class has made a name for itself, (I didn’t say what kind of name). The names of these 25 geniuses are: Marshall Bledsoe, (after being our class president so long we aren't sure whether he will graduate or not), Bpverly Bledsoe, Judy Billings, Carol Lou Coffin, Gwendolyn Calhoun, Bettye Cook, Wilma Carter, Jerry Eppes, .Alice Forrester, Faye Hall, Ed Hamilton, (who, even though his mother was a school teacher, didn't fare too well), Sandra Kellogg, Billy Lane, Betty Neal, Geneva Reynolds, Brown Robertson, Frances Ragan, Barbara Rutledge, Blan Stout, Frances Tapley South, Jimmy Sugg, Pete” Statham, Ann Stultz, Leta Tapley, Carol Wilson, and W. A. Waldrep. Let it now be known that Dub” Waldrep and Brown Robertson were late the first day of school and have been late everyday since then. Dub started off well, he received a whipping the first day. Some teachers think that because of this he still should have one a day. In the second grade, our fame having spread far and wide, three pupils came to join us. They were Beulah Stafford, Wanda Baker from Vanndale, and Andy Clements On entering the third grade, we found that we were only ahead by three. They were Dora Dunn from Colt, Thelma Hiokins from West Plains, Missouri, and L. F. Williams from Walker. Our publicity manager must have fallen down on the job during the fourth grade, because no one came to join us. The fifth grade yielded three new pupils, namely Donna Doss from Washington, Penn., O'dell Henson from McElroy, and Rita Faye Walls from Cherry Valley. In the sixth grade, our class was increased by only four persons. They were: Laverne Bostick from Halk School, Kathleen Spain from Vanndale, Kelly Walker from Weiner, and Maxine Barnett from Rolfe. In the seventh grade the teachers got a chance to rest, for we did nor enlarge our class. It seems as though we made up for our decline in the seventh grade, when six people joined in the eighth. They were: Roy Davis from New Hope, Jimmy Sue Ellis from Cherry Valley, Peggy Mauppin from New Hope, Charles Owens from Vanndale, Billy Sullivan from New Hope, and Roy Davis from New Hope. Our Freshman year started off with six additions. They were Donald Foltz from Fair Oaks, Cordia Hadley from Hickory Ridge, Catherine Stutts from Gailey, Eldon Waddell from Vanndale, and Nellie Brown from Forrest City. During our Sophomore year, we had seven new faces to be added to our roll. They were: Frances Aston from Vanndale, Luther Brawner from Vanndale, Forrestine Chrisco from Vanndale, Laverne Dickson from Arizona, John Grantham from Parkin, Lee Dixon from Hickory Ridge, Dennis Tyner from Vanndale, and Betty Faye Wed- dington from Vanndale. Needless to say, Vanridale really suffered a loss that year. Our Junior year saw three new faces. They were: Shirley Sulcer from Memphis, Tenn., Doris Thomason from Texarkana, and Williard Summins from Forrest City. During our Senior year we gained one member, and lost four. Our gain was Wilma Baker from Vanndale. Our losses were: Forrestine Chrisco, Maxine Barnett, Tex Thomason, and Williard Cummins. At last we, the Senior Class of 1952, have reached our goal. Graduation. It was a long hard journey, but we find that it was worth it. We don't know what the future will bring, but it is our hope and dream that it will bring all of the good things in life to each and everyone of us.
