Class Iblstorv Our high school career began September sixth, nineteen hundred and nine, when seventy of us, graduates of Antioch and Athens, entered the old high school building as Freshmen. Within a short time we organized our class under the direction of Miss McGrew. Mina Lynch was elected president, Hazel Gerlaw vice president, and Ray Robertson, Secretary and Treasurer. The social events of our first year were few but we spent one very pleasant afternoon with Mr. Dormeus in geographical research among the beautiful mountains surrounding Auburn. Next September found us reorganizing our class under the direction of Miss Hudson. We found that only thity nine had returned to resume their work. For officers we elected James Allen president, Hazel Gerlaw vice president, and Thelma Nichol, secretary and treasurer. There was but one class party. We all enjoyed it however. It was given Hallowe’en night at Woodman Hall. We ranked first in literary work Edith Dort was our class editor and she, Irene Marts, Helen Lorance and Geraldine Bell furnished stories for the high school literature.

Our holiday consisted of one half day, during which we might go where we wished and hunt Botany specimens. But this did not hinder our having a good time.

Hazel Walsh, Robert Cooper and Bessie Lawrence having stopped for various reasons. Our Athletic standard was high if not higher than regular eleventh grade standards. There were two men on the basket ball team, three on the basket ball team and three on the track team. W’e also had the honor of having Helen Lorance, one of our members, on the debating team. Never before was the social side of our career so great. Besides parties and sleigh rides, we had two candy feeds, a class play, “The Elopement of Ellen,” and a Minstrel Show. Near the beginning of the year we were entertained at the home of Irene Marts. All had a pleasant time despite the fact that the Senior boys confiscated a great part of our refreshments. The Minstrel Show was a great success and added untold wealth to our treasury- It proved that “negro talk” is not above our rability. Fay Hughes so acted the part that one could fancy themselves on a southern plantation as she sang “Coon, Coon, Coon.” The next social event was the
