HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS In nineteen hundred and twenty we were conscripted from all parts of the earth, to Bessemer High School, where we began our high school work. We eagerly and earnestly toiled with the unfamiliar subjects, though timid and backward we were. By the twenty-fifth of February, nineteen hundred and twenty-one we had grown so large that Bessemer High was entirely too small for us. We were then transferred to our beautiful new building, “Huey town High School. I fere we went to work with such vim that we overwhelmed the new faculty with surprise. This we kept up until the term expired, then we disbanded for the long looked for vacation. n a beautiful morning in nineteen hundred and twentv-onc, we assembled again in H. H. S. a happy Kami of forty “know it all Sophs. W ith only a few changes in the faculty we soon got hack to our duties. About this time a football team was Organized, in which the “Sophs played a great part as right half hack, and left guard. As for the baskeilwill team, the star forward and guard were sophomores, yet we could not convince our superiors that we knew it all. But bravely we continued the term and rushed out on the third day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-two for another happy vacation victorious over our second year's work. The following year we gathered together at old faithful H. 11. S. cheerful, yet our class had slightly decreased. W’e immediately took up our work over which we had to fight failure. But co-operativclv we worked for the unknown end of our Junior year. We were so enthused and busy that we hardly realized when school closed for third vacation, to which we went with a laughing heart and smiling face, thankful for the steady faculty who had piloted us over the rough places. As the year nineteen hundred and twenty-three, dawned uj oii a happy hand of thirty-eight dignified Seniors, we gladly resumed our work. To the football team we contributed five of the varsity team, one who successfully led them through the season. “Captain McLain. We also claim the four presidents of the literary societies. We sadly state that some of our members unconsciously fell into the clutches of matrimony, while a few others deemed it impossible to continue the year. Yet we have the faithful twenty and five. “Now classmates as we part in sadness. May we have this thought of gladness. That the path that was polished by the class of twenty and four. Will shine forever more.” Myrtle Anthony, ’24. High! ecu
