CLASS H ISTORY When did the class of 1950 first begin and what happened to it all during the years up to now? Well here's the answer—the History of the Class of 1950. Jean Lefler. Billy England, Jaynell LeHeup, Bobby Clardy, Earl Wells, Mabel Greene, Odis Hill, and Eliza- beth Stephenson were among those who came up to Zephyrhills Public Schools on that exciting day in Sep- tember 1938 to begin the long journey through gram- mar, junior hi and high school. These youngsters began their education in Mrs. Helen Hamilton's first grade and with the exception of Liz (who soon left us and didn't rejoin us until our SENIOR year) and Jean's Freshman year at Holy Name, we started and completed all our school days here at ZHS. By our second year we were well on our way to be- ing geniouses in reading, ’riting and rethemetic. When Miss Lillian Kirkland left us at Xmas, Mrs. Essie Mae Blitch took charge. Remember all the fun we had being in the Rhythm Band these two years? Especially at Xmas when we got to thrill everyone, including our- selves, with our own special rendition of Jingle Bells. Mrs. Bryd was our instructor and Jaynell LeHeup, complete with waving baton, our leader. No stoppin' us even with two teachers and we soon were third graders and under Mrs. Sara Parsons Ward's care. The fourth grade was a big year for all of us for that was the time when Ronald Bright came from Michigan to join us. Miss Elizabeth Brown was the one who had the privilege of being the home room teacher for us this year. And now the fifth grade. We can't forget that because remember, kids that was the year Mrs. Mary Koontz was our teacher and we had to learn all the 48 states and their capitals and be able to spell them correctly? What a time we had!! Jack Bohannon and Bobby Whitehead were our new additions this year who stayed with us all the rest of the way. Nillie Lott came to remain a class mate until our Sophomore year. Then all together we advanced into our sixth and last year of grammar school. This was the first year we had class officers, remember? Jean Lefler was Presi- dent, Jaynell LeHeup, Vice-President, Ronald Bright, Secretary, and Bobby Clardy, Treasurer. Wasn't this also the year we trudged all over town aiding the war effort by selling bonds, collecting scrap-metal and papers? Our efforts were rewarded because we won $25.00 for selling the greatest amount of bonds in
