We stand upon the brink of Life
That's filled with longings and with strife,
A life that's like an ocea11 wild-
Sometimes stormy, sometimes mild.
For four long years, with heart and soul,
We've worked and toiled to reach our goalg
And now the class of twenty-nine
Has reached the heights of dreams sublime.
Our colors true of rose and white
Have ever kept us in the rightg
Oh, may our lives be long and painless,
As they are now pure and stainless.
Rose a11d white, go with us ever,
Guard our lives that we may never
Go astray from all that's right,
May victory crown our rose and white.
If, out in life our hopes are shaken,
And our hearts are badly achin'3
Oh, may we know that God is near
And that We have no cause to fear.
When our paths seein strewn with thorns,
And everyone around us mourns,
The Angel of Eternal Love
Is watching o'er us from above.
So now, my classmates, have no fear,
Because the King of Kings is near
Ever to guide us toward the light
And help us win in all that's right.
We've done our best, and now, my friends,
It's up to you to take the ends
Of all the threads We have begun
And carry on 'til the rope is spun.
So au revoir, dear A. H. S.,
We hate to leave, that we confess.
Our time has passed, yours just begun.
Take up the torch and carry on!

Spring is the time for all green growing things, fresh and verdant in their newness of life. ll hat
more fitting then, that the Freshman, in this green time of his life, should enter school! fhe Mareh winds
and the April showers were very necessary to the budding of the shoots of knowledge 111 tulle l'1'esl1H11111
mind. And we, so green and sweet in our dewy innocence, received at this tnne the first seeds of
knowledge and felt the first pull of the plow and the cultivator in this spring ot our career-. 1
September 3, 1925-Rush. Confusion. Lost in new building. New teachers. New classmates. Every'
thing new.
September 12, -'1925-Straightening out.
Fall- Domestic science-the parts of the sewing machine.
January-First High School Mid-term Examinatons.
Spring-Louise Efird went to VVashington to enter National Spelling Match.
Parents' Day--Section II of Freshmen won book for neatest room.
Spring-Commencement.
Truly in our delightful verclancy, might we then sing with the poet:
"Today the spring is in the air
And in the blood, sweet sun-gleams come and go
Upon the hills, in lanes the wild flowers flow,
And tender leaves are bursting eV01'YWllf'l'0-Y
For We felt the stir of new life in,all our blood, but we did not realize any more than do Freshmen ol
today how very green we were. We mightsum it all up by saying ot ourselves at that time,
"Once came sixty and six babies
Through our magie gates to pass,
Scattering' 'If you please' and 'Maybes'-
Weren't they as green as grass?"
But the March winds and April showers brought forth an abundance of May flowers, and the Summer-
time eame upon us almost before we knew, so delightfully did the one season blend into the other. Xl e
found the skies so much bluer and sweeter, and the sun shone more warmly UPON US- We had Stllfll
our heads high enough to see nearly as much of it as we imagined we could. We held our heads very
llitill and kept the stalks that supported them very straiifllt' They were HOT YN VPVY IYQNVX Wlfll UIPH'
accumulation of wisdom and so did not droop with the weight. But our flowers were unfolding little by
litt'e. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of day.
September 4, 1926-More confusion.
Fllll-CRLQSQII' and Miss Latta.
Fall-Sewing, cooking, and etiquette-Miss Pridgen.
January-More examinations. ,
April 14, 1927-Debaters tEleanor Mann, Mary liowder, George Iniffllill went U' Cllillllll Hill-
Spring-Operetta, f'Gypsy Rover."
March-Sophomore girls served at Junior-Senior Banquet.
May-Commencement.
It was with us then even as Longfellow writes:
"O summer day beside the joyous seas!
To some the gravestone of a dead delight,
To some the landma1'k of a new domain.
Some of us were regretting the "dead delight" of our verdant days, while others looked ahead, longing
for the "new domain" where the Juniors ruled so royally. But our buds had become blossoms, and the
color of our dominant characteristic had changed with the unfolding of the larger bloom.
But verily, in school life, even as in Nature, "Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither,"
and the autumn of our days came as soon as we were ready. Very brilliant was our foliage that year,
very ricl1 our fruitage, as the little buds of the Freshman year, grown into the flower of Sophomore develop-
ment, became the richer, more necessary and more satisfying fruit of autumn. And it brought with it the
212111 Thanksgiving of November-thankful that we knew so much, thankful we were no longer Freshmen
or Sophomores, thankful we would soon be Seniors and that we had been able to achieve so much.
September 5, 1927-Flightiness. ,
Fall-Home Economics Dinners.
Fall-First Geometry lesson.
Fall-First French lesson QUT:-es bien, inert-i"J.
Ma1'cl1 30, 1928-Junior-Senior Banquet.
Spring-Operetta-''In Old Louisiana."
May-Commencement.
It was indeed a time of dreams and visions and air-castles. But it was not all glory and womlm-
and splendor. There were tests, cultivations, and the fall planting, and with all our wisdom there was
often much to be desired. We no longer blushed red at some unexpected question. We had passed
through the stage of both verdancy and crimson confession, and new color spoke the ml? of Ou,-
zulvancemcnt:
Juniors oft in doubtful wonder,
Pnzzling what they ought to know,
Seowled like clouds of blackest thunder,
Felt as blue as indigo! ,
But even this stage passed into eternityg the fruit was all gathered and stored awav within our
memories, and with the snows of all the past in hoary wisdom upon our heads, we weleoinedi the approach
of winter. The flowers have long since decayed, as we outgrew them, and the seeds of the new
life-to-be were stored away beneath the soil of our understanding ready, at the call of the coming Spl-ine
to put forth their new shoots and push forth into the new world. Rugged in our young manhood aiil
Womanhood, clad in spotless snow and frost protecting the immature germs of developing life from
the blighting atmosphere, We stand at the end of our course. '
September 6, 1928-Dignity.
Fall-Succession of Solid Geometry teachers.
November-Influenza epidemic-school closed for one week.
Jallllflfy 24, 1929-Senior play, "Daddy Long Legs."

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
COUNTY or STANLY
We, the class of 1929, Albemarle High School, being robust, boisterous, healthy, and
"seine," sound and of disposing mind and memoryg realizing our human frailties, the
nearness of the "Harricane," and the uncertainty of college careers, fully aware of the
huge volume of sand that is trickling, pouring, flowing, and gushing incessantly and
unrelentingly through the hour-glass of time, full sensitive that upon its last grain is
riding the inevitable pall of night to shroud our High School days, knowing that when
the cold bony finger of death beckons us into the great beyond, our earthly belongings are
but hindrances to the swiftness of our flightg and also knowing the propensity of men
