Sophomores felt at home when they saw the large banner over the main entrance, “Seniors Welcome The Rest of the Best!” The traditional opening day assembly, held in the field house, was opened with greetings from both the principal, Mr. F. T. Dobbs, and the Student Council President, Chris Roberts. The students became acquainted with the teachers as Mr. Dobbs introduced the faculty members in- dividually. In order to answer the newcomers' inquiries and to refresh the “old students' minds, Mr. Dobbs explained the rules and regulations to be followed by all students at Gadsden High School. After the assembly, the students went through their previously scheduled classes, and school was dismissed at twelve-thirty. 19
