HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '41 In May 1935 our Class completed the 6th grade, how reluctantly ano yet how happily we en- tered what had seemed to U8 the unattainable high school. The weather was fine and we made good headway. So the seventh and eighth grades passed HURRIEDLY AND UNEVENTFULLY. September 1937 The Good Ship Class of i941 left on this date for a four year cruise to Treasure Island with forty-six passengers ano crew, we were full MY' WE ENTERED THE NINTH GRADE, KNOWN A8 the FRESHMEN YEAR OF HIGH 8CH00L. WE iSttt PRESIDENT, AND UNDER HER ABLE LEADERSHIP WE DISPLAYED OUR ABILITIES IN THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES |N WHICH WE PARTICIPATED, Mrs. Hall undertook to guide us through the Hfficult task of orientation and adjustment to THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF ACCUMULATING KNOWLEDGE AND CREDITS TOWARD THEGOAL WHICH WE MAVE NOW reached. That year we served the purpose of human guinea pigs, we worked in small qroups, get- TiNG practically all our information from the library and submitting it to the teacher for ap- proval, from this experience we found that some pupils, especially those doing poor work, IM- PROVED. this was different from anything we had ever experienced. The Next year 1938—1939 our class, enlarged by twenty—one pupils from pollard ano McCall, progressed with the ease which comes only from practice and hard work, because of the large num- 3ER, WE WERE DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS, THE FOLLOWING YEARH939—40 WE WERE JUNIORS. THIS MEANT INCREASED RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH WE WElCCMED AND MET RATHER ABLY, BY NOW WE HAD ACHIEVED A DEGREE OF CULTURE AND SELF-CONFIDENCE WHICH COMES TO EVERY JUNIOR AND MAKES HIGH SCHOOL LIFE STAND OUT IN ONE’S MEMORY AS AN ERA OF HA-P'NESSo A COUNTRY STORE FOR HALLOWEEN NIGHT, AND SEVERAL DANCES WERE SPONSORED BY THE CLASS OUR.NG THE YEAR, AND PROVED TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN EVERY WAY, AND WHAT WAS OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE, Financially, with this money in hand, the problem of the junior-senior Banquet was brought up ANO «T LAST SETTLED In THE SPIRIT OF EMOCRACY, VWICH IS TAUGHT ALL THROUGH OUR SCHOOL. IT, NEVERTHELESS, WAS QUITE A Task, AND after MUCH WORRYING AND PREPARATION THE EVENING WAS VERY DE- LIGHTFUL; AND ONE TO BE LONG REMEMBERED. Another difficult problem to us was getting class rings; however after much discussion, the RINGS WERE SELECTED AND ORDERED. WE WERE TO RECEIVE THEM AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR SENIOR YEAR, IN HIGH SPIRITS AND WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS WE CAME BACK TO SCHOOL AS SENIORS, 1940—J 941 A LITTLE OLDER AND MUCH WISER THAN WHEN WE FIRST ENTERED HIGH SCHOOL. WE REALIZED, THOUGH, THAT WE STILL HAD WORK TO DO, SO WE SET OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TO THE PROBLEM, AS CLASS OFFICERS, WE CHOSE AUBREY GODWIN, PRESIDENT; ELVA HJTTO, VICE-PRESIDENT} JEANNE McCurdy, secretary; and Marie Dannelly, treasurer. The OUTSTANDING STUDENTS OF THE FOUR YEARS WERE JEANNE MCCURDY, VALEDICTORIAN , CLARENCE , Salutorian; Elva Hutto, Historian; porcia leah Godwin, prophet; Marie Dannelly, Testator; Brown and Elizabeth ash, giftorian. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF CAREFUL GUIDANCE UNDER OUR CONSCIENTIOUS TEACHERS, FORTY-THREE OF US HAVE AT LAST PREPARED TO LEAVE OUR DEAR FLOMATON HIGH. WE HAVE WITHIN US NEW AMBITIONS AND HIGH IDEALS, WE SHALL STRIVE UNTIL WE REACH A WORTHWHILE GOAL REGARDLESS OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT WE MAY ENCOUNTER IN OUR FUTURE LIFE. WE ARE PREPARED FOR THESE HARDSHIPS AND WE SHALL ATTACK THEM WITH SUCH VIGOR THAT W E WILL RISE ABOVE THEM VICTORIOUSLY. OUR HEARTS ARE A LITTLE SAD AT THE THOUGHT OF DEPARTURE, BUT WE ARE HAPPY IN THE REALI- ZATION THAT THIS IS NOT THE END OF OUR DAY, BUT ONLY THE BEGINNING, A BEGINNING THAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO WITH UPLIFTED FACES AND HOPEFUL HEARTS, ELVA HUTTOv (historian) AMERICA, MY HOME America, my Nation, Land of the free. America, my country where I'll always be; I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE IT AND ROAM, TO ME IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, 1 M GLAD IT'S MY HOME, ITS PLAINS AND ITS MOUNTAINS, ITS VALLtfS SO GREEN; ITS LAKES AND ITS TREES. THE PRETTIEST I'VE SEEN, The SEA ANO THE OCEAN WHERE RIVERS RUN T0, the Flag, OhJ so wonderful; the red, white and blue. Elizabeth Ash
