THE ANDERSONIAN : Miss Rosa Straus was the Sophomore girlst capable adviser as was Mr. Ellis of the boys. With no exceptions to a junior class being a jolly and jittery group of uYoung unsf some applicable descriptions were found in the sixth vol- ume. The Junior Class Play, uPandora Lifts the Lid, and the Junior- Senior Banquet both proved to be very successful under the able guidance OI Mrs. Mary Struke. What happened to the frightened little sixth graders since 1929 is dis- closed in the seventh and last volume. Now being seniors, as dignified a group as had ever existed, they had many problems facing them, such as invitations, dress, Senior Class Play, and Lantern and Annual meetings. With the sincere advice of two capable instructors, Mrs. Florence W. Bath and Mr. J. Garner Srofe, the seniors had now realized that a great amount of territory had been covered since they started on the highway to suc- cess; but, that a still greater and harder road to future success was to be traveledl Our review is finished and we hope you have enjoyed it.

THE ANDERSONIAN because Imelda White was to be one of the main participants. Mel is internationally known for her grace and dexterity in figure skating. We had known that Ethel was an experienced flyer and that she Was specially skillful in sky writing but we were surprised to find that she has added parachute jumping to her accomplishments. A few days before she left Cincinnati, Ethel had visited Elizabeth Hauke at her new home in Hyde Park. Elizabeth and her husband, with their charming family, are very happy. We were interested to hear that Ethel Jackson has also settled down to domesticity in a lovely home in Clifton. When we returned to our hotel late that night we found that a telegram for us had arrived during our absence. It was from Hazel Childers and as some very impor- tant business had come up, she advised Phebe and me to return to the ofiice at once. Within a few hours we were aboard an airplane bound for Cincinnati and at seven olclock next morning we arrived at Lunken Airport. Although we had enjoyed seeing so many of our old friends from Anderson and the trip had been wonderful, we were very glad to be home again The sight of the Charleton-Evans filled us with pride and to our great relief, we found that the elevator strikeifiwas over and we did not have to walk up the fifty-nine flights of stairs to our 0 ce. CLASS HISTORY Have you ever read the seven volumes tiOn the Highway to Success ? If not, maybe this brief outline will hold your interest. In the first volume the author tells how fifty, sixth graders stumbled awe-stricken and bashfully into the long, broad halls of Anderson in the fall of 1929. After many mistakes of going into the wrong doors, they at last landed safely in their own room, number eighteen, to begin a happy year under the guidance of Mr. J ohn A. Wilfred, later succeeded by Mrs. Emma Johnson. On opening the pages of volume two, we found that a year had elapsed and the number of pupils had increased. A new supervisor, Mr. Harold Prickett, had acquired the honorable job of overseeing these young stu- dents. In the social life, progress had been slow but the future still lay ahead. Do you remember the story of how twenty frogs went to school and grew to be bull frogs? 'Well, so did these sixth graders tgrow to be eighth gradersl. In the third volume we found them under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Hines, who organized the itGuidance Club? which by its title tells you its purpose to prepare and guide them to be faithful citizens in High School. This was followed by a most thrilling and impressive gradu- ation. tiFreshies, green freshies at last, were the words of the fourth vol- ume which inspired us the most. Imagine these youngsters being so green as to obey the biddings of the upper classmen so they wouldnlt get on the itBlack List, and be treated so terribly at initiation. Miss Louise Salisbury and later Miss IVis Hovious, both did their duties in getting these pupils acquainted With the new kind of school life. The author of these seven volumes distinctly remembered his days at school for some of the tales he told seemed very realistic. In the fifth volume description of many adventures of the sophomores were related. This class, made up of both the foolish and the wise, didnit get the opportunity of initiating the freshies as was the custom, but instead a Halloween party was given in their honor.. tMuch to the delight of those freshiesJ The class as a whole hadnlt gone in for social activities as it had taken all year for them to realize the progress they were making toward the goal of being graduates in ,36. 1936 Page twenty
