Class History JL One September morning in the year 1935 a group of happy eager children start- ed traveling the road of education. In that first year we grew to lore each other and our teaoher. Many of ua found friendship that have lasted all through sohool. The next few years passed swiftly and we grew older and wiser each year. Some of our members left us and new ones Joined us. In the fifth grade our teaoher. Miss Horn, took ua to Pensacola to visit the Coco Cola Plant. The memories of that trip will linger in our heart forever be- cause of the many interesting things we saw. low comes the sixth grade, the one we had been looking forward bo beoause we felt that we were older and know more than our friends in the lower grades. It was an eventful year. Our room painted the offioe and made it into a library. Many people gave book and we bought some for the libraly, and soon we had one that all the ohildren looked forward to using. Mr. ibebuck, our principal, help- ed us organise a Glee Club and we took many trips seeing things and singing for different schools. One place we went and enjoyed seeing was the State Fans. In May we had play day and we took an active part in that. The biggest and most important event of the year was our graduation. We were dressed in white and the graduation exercises were oarried on in the same manner as a final graduation. How reluctantly and yet how happily we entered what had seemed to us the unat- tainable high school. Our class was enlarged at the beginning of the seventh year when we were joined by the boys and girls from Canoe, Wawbeek and other schools. The next few years past by swiftly and we became more nature and ambitious under the guidance of Mrs. Hall and our other teachers. Me learned many things besides the lessons in our textbooks. We were endowed with courage, a desire to be of service, and began to plan for our future life s work. The tenth year added to our class new students from Pollard and McCall. Now we felt like we were finally retting somewhere and we settled down to three more years of work.

The year passed swiftly and we entered the eleventh with zeal and ambition The biggest event was the Junior and Senior Banquet. We worked all day decorat ing the auditorium and preparing the food. By seven o'clock everything was fin ished and everyone was enjoying himself. A danoe followed the Banquet and both were quite successful In high spirits and with great expectations we came back to school as seniors A little older and much wiser than when we first entered sohool. We realized though, that we still had work to do so we sot our hearts and minds to the problem We noticed that our magazines were being misused so we bought nine beautifully bound folders for them. These are keeping the magazines in excellent order. Through all the years the walls of the Senior room had gotten amokoy so we paint ed them peach and the top white. This helped the appearance of the room exceed ingly. Making it a bright plaoe for our hard work and happy days This class has enjoyed much happiness on its journey along the path of learn ing, and it has established many friendships that we feel will last through the Our hearts are a little sad as we think of departing, but we are happy in the realisation that this in not the end, but only the beginning, the beginning of a new tomorrow.
