HILLIFE-1941 the year before We were freshmen, and his expert guidance has led the school since then into becoming one of the outstanding schools of the state. He has fitted the school to the students' needs, rather than fitting the students to the school. He is due our lasting gratitude. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors--We have been all of them. Members of our class have been outstanding in every activity. Our class has had leaders in football and in basketball. VVe can say truthfully that We have all kinds of people ready for the great and noble service of the world. VVe are ready now to begin our lives-for at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be Wrought, Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought. VVith many memories, and some regrets, We prepare to leave our high school and our friends. Vile anticipate new associations and new conquests with joy, and are in readiness for Whatever may come.

HILLIFE-1941 The History of Our Class Perhaps it would be better if we should leave the past to sleep and the dead moments to bury their dead, but since the final evening of our high school days is drawing nearer, and recollections come as the memory of a dream, which is sad because it hath been sweet, and cluster in our minds, to let those who come after know what we have done, we now set down the history of our class. The great adventure of the glorious first day has left an indelible im- pression on all our minds. Vile can remember the admiration and envy with which we saw the president of the student body, Pat VVinston, actually speak to our superintendent, Mr. Honeycutt. But the wonder and the awe of the first day wore off. The school became more familiar, we went up the wrong steps-once-and our cocky self-satisfaction began to grow. just when our pride was becoming unbearable for a freshman, we became sopho- mores, one step higher on the ladder. Gales Perry was the president of the student body in 1938-39. His qualities of leadership and dignity might well have been the ideals of our class, which certainly needed ideals. VVe were typical sophomores. 'We lorded it whenever we could, with an eye on the nearest door, and our theme song, like the theme song of each year's sophomores, began with the words VVrong steps, freshman! Yet, as the year passed, we became more occu- pied with geometry and our other studies, and by a gradual change we became- JUNIORS! It has been said that the junior year is the great changing period of high school life. The year before, one is a sophomore, knowing all there is to know and more, the year after, one becomes a senior, realiz- ing how little one really knows, preparing to live in earnest. The great event of our junior year was the junior-senior dance. After a greal deal of work to get money, we held the dance in the Carolina Inn. Everyone had a good time. This third year was really a successful one. Under the capable leadership of Marviii Hogan, everything went well in the school, and we reached the top of the ladder to become seniors. One of our own number, Charles Pullen, has been student president this year. A great many changes have taken place. The regular type of study hall has been abolished, and a much better system established. The library has been enlarged, and many other improvements made. It is through one person that we have been enjoying student government in our four years of high school. This person is our superintendent, hir. Honeycutt. It was by his efforts that the student council was established in xi Page Tfceufy-one g '94s
