Darrell wore a colorful red and green plaid skirt, a red blouse and a lovely green and white shawl. These three boys combined their charming modeling skills for their homeroom program. What is an aard-vark .... .... is what everyone asks when Mary Womack of 108 claims that she has a collection of aard-varks Ethel Aard-vark is a character which Mary pulled out of her limitless imagination. But actually, aard-vacks are real ant-eaters which live in Africa. Mary has a hobby of drawing pictures of Ethel Aard-vark. In all she has over thirty different poses of Ethel. Jerry Newton of 208 .... .... keeps his room rock ing with laughter by his frequent witty sayings, better known as Tom McConnell “Ellis Baker of homroom 108,” said Coach Ray Correll when he was asked, “Who do you think was the outstanding sports figure of the school this year?” Ellis does not take gym but was on the school football and basket ball teams and was an active player in the intramural programs.

John Kirkman was the hero of the ninth graders. With two homeruns and a triple John pro vided what was needed to keep his team in the ball game and get it across the victory line. The seventh graders started off with a bang and they led m.ost of the way. However the superior strength and skill of the ninth graders finally caught up with them. Room 109 reached the school finals after beating room three by a score of 8 to 6. They won the seventh grade championship by beating room 110 by 6 to 5. 211 reached the finals by ousting room 210. Butch Nifong and John Kirk man homered as they won, 8-3. The eighth grade championship was won by room 3 after this room room beat room 102. The game was close until 3 scored 2 runs in the third inning. That broke the game wide open, and 3 won 5 to 1. Homeroom 211 has also been school champs in volleyball and basketball. They were ninth grade football champs, also, but were set back by a strong eighth-grade team from 204. John Kirkman, Keith Sedberry, Kendall Farlowe, Butch Nifong and Butch Murrow have been standouts for 211 all year. For the eighth graders this year 204 has dominated football and basketball. 105 won volleyball and room 3 won softball. 115 Has won everything in the seventh grade but softball. Especially outstanding for 115 was Tom Gurley’s long passing in football. Room 115 was finally de feated in softball, however, by the boys of 109.
