Wednesday The Math Club, though one of the smallest clubs our school, was one of the most successful. Bobby Jones and Charles Allen were always working hard at answer- ing those difficult problems. When they thought they had the right answer, Bob Lester would come up with something to prove them wrong!! It seems as if the Library Club was always promoting parties. The annual Teacher’s Tea was really a big thing! Everyone seemed to enjoy it and worked hard to make it a smashing success—especially Mrs. Smith! How could anyone forget those wonderful Wednes- days? So much happened! Remember, Christmas day came on Wednesday. This was quite an eventful thing! It snowed and we couldn’t believe that we were actually having a White Christmas! However, snow didn’t stop us from communicating with everyone to see what all Santa Claus brought! Varner Hines got a T-Bird! Butch Gary got a new bow! Bill Atkinson got a car! Poor Susan n Dun woody felt so left out—she only got a gold charm bracelet. Then, of course, came New Year’s Day, when every- one just lay around recuperating from a night of merry- making! Everyone spent New Year’s Day watching his favorite football teams battling it out on television. Ratted hair seemed to be the fad! Penny Woodell . and Dianne Tisdale set the style pace with their lovely bouf- fant hair-do’s. It certainly was a lot of trouble ratting it all, wasn’t it? 7

T uesday Tuesday, always exam day! Remember how w’e always had so many tests? Surely there is a conspiracy among teachers about giving tests on the same day. In spite of tests and homework, we still managed to find time to participate in the other activities offered on Tuesdays. Let's see now, oh, yes, there w'ere many bas- ketball games on Tuesdays. Remember the game with Greenwood? Their girls’ team was so inexperienced that we walked all over them. We’ll never forget how mad Sue Mayfield got when Miss Hester let her play for only three minutes. Miss Hester’s point was that the less experienced girls get to play some! And they did, everyone of them!! A typical Tuesday night was spent thumbing through book after book searching frantically for material for our research theme—which always seemed to be due on Wednesday. It seemed as if Bobby DuBois and Patti Harrell spent half their time reading up on the latest jokes, while everyone else studied! “Uncle George’s” capable Chemistry classes! They were always trying to discover a solu- tion that they could use to blow up the school. Remember once when Bobby Jones and Mathew Smith almost succeeded? Poor Susie Nicholas and Frances Cooper even crawled under their desks they were so frightened! Our dramatic club worked unceasingly to bring us the best entertainment ever! Jimmy- Spears certainly stole the show in their last production—he also stole many young girls’ hearts that day! In this picture, it looks as if “lover” Jimmy has given Linda Carson up for another. 6

Thursday “Open wide,” says Sheila Allgood, as Barbara Knott takes a big bite out of a delicious apple from the Quik Serve. 1-2-3-4! Keep those hands higher!! Oh! Those terrible calisthenics were always so rough! We were always so sore the next day! Oh! Those terrible Thursdays! Somehow we always got report cards then! We would always get grounded because of our grades. It was torture for Tony Mefford as he anxiously awaited his Spanish report card! Of course, there were good times, too, such as that Basketball game with Central! And, those exciting Base- ball games. We really had good teams. I suppose no one will ever forget one thing that happened on Thursday—Halloween! The whole school must have been at Susann Dun woody’s! Remember how Varner Hines went running all over the yard chas- ing Gerald Moses with a water balloon? Boy! When Larry Chilton decided to go inside—through the closed glass doors, he certainly started an up-roar! There were other Thursday events too! For the Fresh- men there were exciting football games: for the Sopho- mores, the pep rallies; the Juniors had a grand time helping the Seniors make footballs; and the Seniors just loved throwing them out! Look! We’re all playing teacher! Jon Foose and Dennis Boyd direct attention to something that may be school work, or it may be “Beatle business.” Faye and Leland seem to be impressed with their explanations. 8
