CLASS HISTORY On a very eventful day in September, 1941, nine eager little boys and girls, who were to finish their schooling at Z.H.S., trudged to Mrs. Helen Hamilton for their first year. The group included Patty Smith, David Vestal, Roger Whitworth, Tobey Smith, Wanda Williams, Robert Jones, Neva Jean Sellars, Beverly Bolt, and Margaret Hill. They advanced to the second grade, under the direction of Mrs. Essie Mae Blitch. In the third grade, after some moving around, Raymond Geiger decided to join the happy band. Mrs. J. A. Turner led the group. On to the fourth grade and Mrs. Travis. Hazel Dukes joined the jolly little demons and Lyndall Wheeler came up from Miami. And now the fifth grade. That was the year wehad two teach- ers, Miss Martha Barnes and Mrs. Turner. Two more members joined, Ger- ald Miller and Mary Kate Witt. It wasn't long before we were in the sixth grade with Miss Hodges. Mary Lou Richards and Jim Kennedy came in. Junior High, the seventh grade and Mrs. Alice Atwater for our overseer proved an exciting experience. Ginger Sawtelle rejoined us and decided to finish school here. We advanced to the eighth. We had five new additions that year, Sebron Thomas, Joan Braden, Jim Welsch, Bill Sabin, and Merl- ene Nelson. What a time we had in our Freshman year! We were inhigh school and Mrs. Matthews was again our sponsor. We had only one addition that year, Mildred Mattingly, from Alabama. The class officers were: President, Joan Braden; VicePresident, David Vestal; Secretary, Margaret Hill; and Treasur- er, Merlene Nelson. In our Sophomore year, Patricia Trebour joined us from New Jersey. Mr. Bill Moore was class sponsor and our officers were: President, Joan Braden; VicePresident, David Vestal; Secretary Margaret Hill; and Treasur- er Bunt Massey. At last we were Juniors. It wasn’t long before we realized we had a lot of hard work before us as many of us tested our acting ability in the class play, Henry's Hired Aunt. Soon after this we began making plans for our gala Pirate Banquet, which was held at Hotel Zephyr and Prom at the Amer- ican Legion Hall. It was declared a success by all who attended. Shirley Lanham came in that year. Our class officers were: President, Margaret Hill; Vice President, Gerald Miller; Secretary, Merlene Nelson; and Treasurer, Mary Lou Richards. Mr. Dave Boatwright was our able guide through that year. Under the leadership of Mr. John Clements we advanced to our Senior year only to realize that our school days would soon be over. Dorris Whit- worth came down from Tennessee to graduate with us. Our class officers were; President, Neva Jean Sellars; Vice President, Joan Myers; Secretary, Beverly Bolt; and Treasurer, Patty Smith. The comedy, Act Your Age was our production of the year. We will long remember the banquet and prom which the Junior class gave in our honor and especially Class Night, Baccalaureate, and finally Graduation on June 2nd at the Home Theater.
