class history Once upon a time there were ten frightened youngsters. This was the long awaited ''first day of school. .Their names were Joe Paul Womack. Jeanne McGavem. Lois Greene. Carl Heufel, Jimmy Kerr. Eddie White. Jackie Clardy. Julia Belle Prachar. David Sullivan and J. D. Locke. This angelic little band was enxering the first grade and was initiated into school life by Mrs. Helen Hamilton. The first year passed quickly and by the time they were ready for Mrs. Blitch and the Second Grade they were ready and rarin' to go! They rared a little too much and Carl Heufel took off for Dade City. They played and fought together during this year and then in the third grade were joined by Mrs. Sarah Ward and Caroline Jones, from Griffin. Georgia. Kathryn Kersey and Harold Cherry, noticing the fun these little eager beavers were having decided to wait for them and join in the excitement. Of course, the little con- gregation of urchins were sorry to see Mrs. Ward leave during the year, but were happy to welcome Mrs. Turner. Then it was time to start their fourth year of schooling under the direction of Mrs. Annice Fernandez. J. W. Jones envying Harold's and Kathryn's new found joy decided to follow their example. In the Fifth Grade with Mrs. Emma Plank as guardian, the little cherubs were joined by John Forbis from Nashville. Tennessee, Wilmer Wetherington from White Springs. Carl Heufel from distant. Dade City and Bob Fullwood from Jacksonville. Bob decided the renegades were too much for him and left to return later. Fate was against these little desperadoes, when, while in the Sixth Grade under the guidance of Mrs. Willie Mae Ellsmaker, Bill McIntosh wandered in from Mt. Clemens. Michigan. This year their intense school spirit got the best of them and from their over flowing treasury purchased a cord to pull the curtain on the stage in the auditorium. They also became amateur horticulturists and planted some flower bulbs outside the classroom window which they quickly trampled to death. In the seventh grade the class was tremendous and was pushed from pillar to post. It started in the main build- ing but then was moved to what was known astheCrystal Springs Building which was later mysteriously burned. ... some say it was struck by lightning. At this time the wandering nomads were joined by Skip Riley from East Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania but they soon ran him off. Bob Fullwood bolstered up his courage and returned to ZHS followed by an invasion by Shirley Hallbrook, from Lakeland. John Wasner from Miami, Anne Hosmer from Massachusetts, Larry Rickard from Jeffersonville, Indiana, Shirley Leeson from far off Crystal Springs, (she came with the school bldg.) and last but not least, by Barbara Smith from Norfolk. Va., who made an unusual, to say the least, entrance. After this, even the Crystal Springs Bldg, proved to be too small for these juvenile delinquents and they were moved to the abandoned Air Port Barracks outside the city limits. This, they quickly reduced to shambles, stripping tar paper from the sides of the buildings and flooding the bathrooms daily by turning on the innumerable faucets. When they got out to the air port Mrs. Ellmaker called in the reinforcements namely, Miss Christine Krusen. At this time the sheep were separated from the goats and they proceeded happily until they were reunited in the Eighth Grade. This year they gained the infamous reputation as the most mischievous group ever to hit Zephyrhills or sur- rounding territory until Mr. Parker arrived with his Board of Education. This board was at least two inches thick and quickly quieted them down to a dull roar. Wilmer Wetherington decided to make an exit at this point. This was the year the class painted all their bulletin boards pink! Then all the boys' hearts were set atwitter when Joan Johnson arrived from Winona. Minnesota. At last they were changing classes and could scatter their charms to more than one teacher in a day! Soon after, the class became Freshmen and Mrs. Constance Kaylor was the lucky one to become their sponsor. The class, very much encouraged by their earlier attempt at painting, decided to go at it in a big way by painting their home room green. Also painted, were portions of the doors, windows and floor, strictly by accident, of course. Then Pat Edwards bounced in from Windsor, Ontario, followed by Franklin Canaday from St. George, Georgia. A little later. Wilmer Wetherington decided he really missed his partners in crime and returned. The class became businessmen and held Bake Sales to fill their treasury so they could squander their money at the end of the year on a humdinger of a class party. After partially graying Mrs. Kaylor's hair they set upon Mr. Bill Moore, in their Sophomore year. This year the class kept busy doing nothing. They had one scheme they turned out reasonably well, sponsoring Hill Billy Singers at the High School auditorium. At this time Skip Riley again rejoined the little society followed by Lamar Herndon from Miami. Then Crash Bam Alagazaam.'' Conrad. Sam Morgan arrived from Jacksonville. In the class's Junior year it was decided that it again needed a strong arm to gently guide it, namely, Mr. Happy Clark an ex-gridiron star. They then again turned business-minded, in a big way this time, by sponsoring football dances, which proved quite successful, basketball concessions and the mammothly successful Junior Class Play. Clementine, the story of a teenage tomboy who turns herself into a refined young lady over- night.
