Page Two High Life Mag 30,1950 College, Work, or Marriage? Yes, the time has really come. You Sen iors are now ready to venture into the world. What will it be—college, work, or marriage, maybe. These are the three fields from which you must choose. You who have made your plans for college have pretty definite ideas about your imme diate future. Do your best, and you’ll be a success. If you plan to start working right away, take the job which you like and will excel in, not the one which comes easiest. This way, you’ll be happier in your work. For a few of you, marriage will be your next road to travel. All we can say is con gratulations, and we hope that you will always be happy. Parting of the Way Congrats—to you Seniors. If these twelve long years have been completed well, they probably seem short now. You have been looking forward to graduation since you were in the first grade, and now that it’s here, it seems impossible—doesn’t it 1 Yes, there have been times that were slow, troublesome, and you never thought they would end, but now that your high school days are over, you look back and seem to for get about the unhappiness, because it is cov ered by the fun you’ve had, and the things you will never forget. Most of you will leave G. H. S. with the feeling, “Well done.” There is no better peace of mind in the whole world than that feeling. Enter the world after graduation with this feeling as your motto, and yon will never lack happiness. What’s New? What’s new?—the Whirligig, of course. At last Gr. H. S. has the one thing it’s been waiting for so long. Now we can hold our heads high with pride, because we have one of the best annuals in the state—if not the best. When out-of-town friends call and say, '^Let’s see your annual,” instead of “We don’t have one,” as G.H.S.’ers have had to say in the past, now we can proudly show the Whirligig. We should now like to express our thanks to everyone who has worked on the new an nual and say—you couldn’t have done a better job. The Purpose of High Life Is To G et and preserve the history of our school. H old individmals together under high standards. S eparate the worthwhile from the worthless and promote the highest interest of students, teachers, and school.

Mr. Sam J. Underwood Art Admser Mrs. Grace Faver Financial Adviser Mr. A. P. Routh By JODY WILKINSON The “tops” ^^950 Will be presented to you today. They are the students Who are outstanding in a special sort of way. MOST TALENTED Bert Wade and Pat Pinyon Hildergard and Iturbi Better look out for their jobs, ’Cause Bert Wade and Pat Pinyon Have talent by the gobs. PERSONALITY Nancy Beale and Lining Burnett They say that personality Is something hard to get, But these two had no trouble at all. Their names—Nancy Beale and Lining Burnett. It’s not the way they walk, It’s not the way they talk, It’s not the stylish clothes they wear, It’s not their sophisticated air. No, it’s all these And much more too— It’s that indefinable something Which shines right through. And makes you know You'll never forget Those two personality “kids,” Nancy Beale and Lining Burnett. CUTEST Peggy Everitt and Joe Kirkman You can keep your Lana Turner And your Johnsons and the rest; We’ve got the cutest couple of ’em all Right here at G. H. S. BEST DRESSED Roberta Burgess and Gilbert Turner The clothes of New York and the designs of Paris Were all styled with diligence and care. But none of these can look any better Than the outfits that these two wear. WITTIEST Betsy Bishop and Charles Wagner Laugh and the world laughs with you, Cry and you cry alone; But these two’ve kept Senior laughing 'Cause their wit is widely known. FRIENDLIEST Rebecca Frazier and Bob Highfill Everybody likes those friendly students, The ones whom we all know By their laughing and smiling and waving And, of course, by their cheerful Hello! How do you like your greeting? With a great big smile, A “hello babe,” a “howdy Joe,” A hearty handshake in a friendly style. Maybe a courtesy and a bow, A nod and a wave. Or a “how d’ you do?”— Whatever it is, the friendliest are these two. MOST ATHLETIC Carole Williams and Lindy Brown Casey really ruined the game ' By striking out that day. But here at Senior it’s hard to find A sport these two can’t play. MOST POPULAR Elinor Wrenn and Kemp Clendenin The class of 1950 Has proudly decided to call Elinor Wrenn and Kemp Clendenin The most popular of them all. MAY 30. 1950 no, MOST INTELLECTUAL Sue Purdom and David Bradley History is filled with many scholars. So our books have said; Today, David and Sue wear Scholarship’s crown Upon their brainy heads. BEST LOOKING Sally Gray Hicks and Rodney Harrelson You may speak of the gods of ancient Greece And their lust for beauty fair, But we here at Senior High Know not of a handsomer pair. . And there they are. The “cream of the crop,” The students that the seniors Have placed on the top. These are the special students To whom the Senior Class gives The honor of being remembered As the winners of the 1950 superlatives. , We, the class of 1950, Sound of body and of mind Wish to grant to our successors And to teachers dear and kind All the things we value, That were earned by time well spent. So with cheerful thought we make This, our Last Will and Testament Lindy Brown, who has won many a ball game, Leaves his athletic equipment To the Jamieson Hall of Fame. , Nancy Beale who cheered so well Leaves her ability to Henrietta Bell. Little Joe Kirkman (the one with brown hair) A Senior seeker of fortune and fame, Leaves his sympathy to those confused With a classmate who has the same name. 5. Carole Williams, our female athlete, Who’s an absolute authority on com bining work and play, Wills her amazing store of energy, • her ambition to compete, To Barbara Mclver, who may rank as champion someday. 6. Frank Little leaves that certain whim. The ability to play nine holes with the score of 10; Someday Frank will drive profession als batty, And little Bill Crawford will be his caddy. 7. Bill Zuckerman leaves behind His debating ability to any mind Such as David Wright, who, we’ll agree, Will be as good a debater as he. 8. McCulloch and Darnell, the writing team. Leave their journalistic steam To Barbara Hutton and Barbara Mof fitt, Who’ll pep up High Life quite a bit. 9. Hutson Moody’s driving is left behind To Tiny Burtner, who, we find, Knows how to handle speeding cars. And sometimes stops to study stars. 10. Elinor Wrenn’s leadership we do be queath To Jerry Bryan, who beneath All his modesty, we’re glad to say, Will be a leader some future day. 11. Steve Agapion, our dancing man. Leaves his shag to Martha Vann. 12. Esteline Patterson, the school’s Rem brandt, Leaves all her drawings to those who can’t. 13. Shay Kincaid, the school’s star eager, Who’ll be famous yet, we’ll wager. Leaves to Bill Campbell his basketball skill. For if anyone will use it “Wild Bill” will. 14. Marvin, the Perrins’ little treasure, Leaves Mrs. Smith with heartfelt pleasure. 15. Greg Patterson, the timid child, To Jim Moser leaves his vocabulary wild. 16. Jimmy Schenck bequeaths his bitter wit And his clever jokes which sides do split To Carl Brooks, and teachers too, Whose jokes are caught by very few. 17. Nance and Kennedy of their hair are weary; They leave it to LeGwin and Leary. 18. Tired of everyday routine? From Panas to Ogburn goes that vote supreme. 19. Ferguson donates his stoppin’ and startin’ To traffic chief Bill Sartin. 20. Fred Upchurch leaves the annual fright To brave and daring Betsy Wright. 21. Betsy, Becky, and Suzanne part with their batons That Becky Phoenix can use anon. 22. Jean Ayers leaves her many pranks To Boo Dempsey who receives them with thanks. 23. To Nancy Birgel from Ashley Holland Go those smiles that keep boys fol lowin’. 24. Dottie Carter leaves that wonderful walk To Jackie Gilmore who we know won’t balk. 25. Sara Nell leaves her vim, vigor, and vitality To Lane McGregor’s personality. ^ , 26. Leon Siler leaves his half of the team To big Jim Leonard who is high in our esteem. 27. Bradley and Purdom bequeath their brains To Crowder and MePheeters who’ll feel no pain. 28. Hitch and Blackwell depart so non- chalant They prove that it pays to be ignorant. 30. To Miss Moore we leave our very best thanks, Our prize jokes, and silly pranks! Thanks for being our adviser this year, Miss Moore, you’re a dear! 31. To Mr. Routh and the office gang, We’re quitting school with quite a bang. Thanks for all your wonderful aid. We won’t forget the impression you’ve made. 32. We leave our faculty tried and true To the student body, they’ll help you too, And to the teachers our appreciation For helping us reach this destination. 33. And now with this, the last revealed, We submit this document, signed and sealed. Class of 1950. “Tee’s Tips” By EVELYN SINK Have you heard the Lonesome Gal yet? We forgot to mention the time she comes on—9:30, that is, WCOG—and re member, she loves you more than any body else in the whole world. When you awake each morning, do you listen to the radio? Most of us do. Sometimes you can get the best music and then again ZZ. Who cares what country grows rubber trees or which ocean has the most water in it? Not in the morning anyhow. Most people awake with “Mean Morning Moods” and that calls for music—not talk. Enough, huh? “Third Man” is still in there. We hear the picture is still on its way. Be sure to see it. How about the “Birmingham Bounce” by Chick Merrile? It ranks with one of the hit boogies backed by “They’ll Do It Every Time.” Ralph Flannegan has some excellent hits. He has recorded “Be Mine” in a big way. Heard it? “I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine,” do you? This is tops by Tony Martin. Another new popular hit that is fast becoming better is “Mona Lisa” by King Cole. It’s odder than the best. “Where in the World” by Gordon Jen kins—another new good one. Another one of the sentimental songs is “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered’' by Gordon Jenkins. Oh, please, don’t let’s forget to mention the most beautiful thing out. That is Stars Are the Windows of Heaven” by the Andrews Sisters. It’s very seldom that we hear a song so typical of Amer ican life. They can also do “The Dixie Land Jazz” along with Bing or Bob Cros by wonderfully. The last tip of the column is “Come to the Morgue” by Edith Trosper, made popular by the young vocalist, Thomas Neal. Let’s stop for now and wonder about the many beautiful songs that will come out this summer and hope for other years to come that will prove prosperous as this one has. •
