On a dull dreary day in September 1937, Alton Tyre, Betty Jean
Thomas, and Mary Ellen Ellerbe came tricycling up to dear old Zephyr-
hills School in pig tails and short pants to begin our 12 long years of hard
labor. Mrs. Helen Hamilton started us on our way.
In the second grade we joined Billy Douglas and Howard Cherry
under the supervision of Miss Lilian Kirkland and continued on our way.
We began the third grade under the leadership of Miss Sarah Par-
sons. Our luck soon changed though, when a Georgia boy, William Tilley
came stumbling in.
In our fourth year, guided by Miss Elizabeth Brow n, Herbert McGin-
nis and John Bryant joined our happy family.
A Richland gal, Lovie Bolden, joined us in the fifth grade with Mrs.
Mary Koontz as our sponsor.
In the sixth grade we advanced rapidly with the guidance of Mrs.
Nellie Price.
We trudged through the seventh grade with Mr. Cornelius in charge
of our group.
In the eighth grade our home room teacher was Miss Edith Plank.
Ah! Freshmen at last! Pat Thomson came blushing her way in follow-
ed by Mary Louise Allen, the future "Miss Pasco County". Mrs. Vera
Geeting was our class sponsor.
We progressed rapidly through the tenth grade under the direction
of Mr. Lee Fox.
In our Junior year we were joined by our football hero from Brooklyn,
Jerry Bodenburg, and a Dakota kid, Malvin Hinsz. Under the sponsorship
of Miss Clement we produced a successful Jr. Play, followed by a wonder-
ful Baquet and Prom.
At last we are proud and dignified Seniors! Mr. Parker was our guide
and companion throughout the year. Some of the many activities of this
year were our Senior Class Play, Skip-A-Way Day, Kid's Day and the
Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We will always remember our high school
days and hope that we shall enjoy continued success throughout life.
