SAG a aa Hlstory of Class E1ghteen O be a true historian, one must of necessity deal merely with facts and depict incidents as they really transpire. Should you ask us whence Class '18 gathered such a band, I should tell you from the grammar grades before us, from the schools about the district and from many other counties. With ardent desire to make further pursuit of the studies we had learned to like in the grammar grades, our class assembled here in the year 1914. Then, we were only twelve in number, since, others have joined us, year by year, until we have become five and twenty. In the char- acteristics which make up an all-round class, ours may be justly regarded as second to none. In September, 1916, there came to us from South Boston, Her- man Bass, dignified and reserved. In varied lines he istalented, he has won for us fame as an orator and poet, yet-as many great men have fallen-so has Her- man fallen victim to cupid's dart. This tends to inspire his expression of thought, and by it some day he will win laurels so envied by all. Today as our class president, he stands as a leader' among us. 1 Among our happy number in the first year, was Annie Laurie Marshall, who is today secretary of class '18 She has been an active member of the Lee Literary Society and a successful contestant for silver VV. C. T. U. Medal. One of our most faithful workers, is Joe Inge, who will be remembered as a star debater through these four years, he has often been heard eloquently pleading his cause. From the forest primeval in September, 1916, came Guy I-Iarris. He very soon adapted himself to the ways of A. S. A. S., and has proved successful in the application of his orderly habits. One of our best musicians, who has been with us the four years, is Macie Inge. Though residing some distance from school, she has been a faithful pupil. The most industrious member of our class, is Thomas Caldwell, who joined us as a Freshman. 'He believes that Satan finds mischief for idle hands to dof' Robert Beale hails from our rival city, Pamplin, and right proud he is of the fact. He possesses a strong sense of humor, and is never so happy as when playing pranks on his fellow pupil. Robert has been with us two years, and is now among our leading students. . 22
