Nancy,
Great Post! I don't know any of the answers, but I enjoyed reading the questions. Welcome aboard.
Congratulations on posting. You go,girl! Welcome to the posting team.
3. Joe Burnett
6. Brookshire's?
7. Pajama parties
English Award - Judy Johnson?
To toot my own horn, I was named "Outstanding Foreign Language Student," and later taught languages at MHS.
4. Chick Steak sandwiches. I wish I had one right now.
Welcome, Nancy. Great questions. Really enjoyed your trivia.

I'm hungry. Chick steak. Besides Nancy's post, nothing would make me happier right now than something to eat. Off to the kitchen.
Okay,
I guess we give up on #1 & 5.
Great questions, made us think ... or try to think and lots of us came up blank.
Nancy said...These are my answers. They could be wrong...
1. A studebaker,blue or green. I was told that for conditioning the team would run through the streets of Meridian with Coach Owens riding along behind in his Studebaker.
2. Our class hit the jackpot...Carrie Ann Sanford, Mary Jane Spencer was 1st alternate, then Tee Mann and in 1961 Anne Stallworth. There may be others in our class who were alternates etc. Don't remember.
3. Joe B.
4. Those wonderful Chicksteaks...Millie were they veal?
5. The Plaza had black lemonades. I don't know why or why anyone would want one. But they had them.
6.The Spot... and those guys could really skate!
To answer #7 I must find the newspaper clipping I used for the names of the awards. I'll do that later. Peggy, you must have saved that clipping too.
It's #8 I'll do later.
7. I was thinking "Come as you are parties" Someone would ride around early morning gathering friends who would come as they were for breakfast. Usually they were in pjs.
I had an unfair advantage. Still have the copy of the Wildcat which made the announcements of the award winners. No mention of the winner of the Ben Cameron award though. Black lemonade? That's a new one on me. I had forgotten about the Plaza. Thanks for the memories.
Peggy, this is what my news paper clipping says...
Phillip George...Marks Rothernberg Science Award
Oliver Buntin...Jas.H.skewes trophy
Charles McCraney...Ben F. Cameron award
Ralph Aberham...Alex Loeb trophy
Judy McKellar...Pilot Club Award
Kathleen Bustin...Phi Kappa Award
Ella Kappes...Maude Smith English Award.
This is going to say anonymous, but it is Nancy C. Not to be confused with those other anonymouses!!
One more trivia...who were the stars on the Powder Puff Football game on the senior team?
Give Up?
Gail Dennis and Leila Keeton acording to the Meridian Star. No, I don't have all the papers. Just these and apparently Dick Smith, the sports editor was smitten with Leila. I quote " If all the youngsters we know were as shapely as this Keeton girl, future of this old world would be tremendous!" I don't have the date on this; but an add on the back for Jarman shoes for men was $9.95!! Folks, we are OLD!
That's all from me. I know nothing else. Good bye...Anonymous Nancy
