Page 4 THE RED AND BLUE September '37-May '38 The Class of '38 Lest we forget, these are the news flashes from the Class of 38: Flash!! They enter Huntsville High as extremely fresh freshmen in 1934. Because of the size, this group is divided into two sections. Even though new to the upper realms of the building the Freshmen realize that they must elect officers. The presidential results are Willard Young. Mrs. Ruch’s section: and William Kunde. Coach Frank's. Flash!! Scarcely one hundred Sophomores are enrolled in 1935. Mary Kate Boswell is elected president of Mrs. Ruch's section, and Carl Morring of the section that was formerly under Coach Frank but is now Miss Dougherty’s. Dorothy Sandlin, of this class, wins the Humphrey Scholarship cup. The class feels non-plused on learning that laborious 2-A algebra will not be required for graduation after this year. They begin to wonder if it is such a cinch to get 16 credits in four years. Another flash! Ninety odd Juniors enroll in 1936. Dick Fleming is elected president of the entire class with Bee” Mc-Caleb presiding vice-president in Mrs. Ruch’s section and Carl Morring in Miss Dougherty’s room. The struggle for funds progresses through football games, three dances, a bridge HONOR ROLL OF SERVICE Virginia Syler. for her helpfulness to nearly every teacher in school.

Phoney Phrases (OR SO THEY DON'T SAY) Mr. Hines (in chapel): —and because you have studied so hard and the weather is so agreeable, school is dismissed for the day. Mary Catherine Hay: —No thank you. I’m not the least bit hungry. Richard Roberts: —What, only an A on history. Why I thought surely I made A plus! Bee McCaleb: —By the way. here’s that twenty cents I owe you. Dorothy Sandlin: —I don’t believe I know that. I haven’t studied for two days. Olivia White: —Let’s see. I’ll take a barbecue. a milkshake, a Hershey bar. Molly Giles (to one of her many admirers): —I don’t believe I’ll go. I’d rather stay at home and read a good book. Carl Morring: (silence). Miss Daye (to the Senior French Class): —This is about the best Senior French class I’ve ever had. Mary Alice Terry: —Lilie? Who is he? Willard Young: —Does anybody want to borrow a pencil? I have three extra ones. party, and ends with the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance at the Russel Erskine. Another member of the class. Willard Young, wins the Humphrey Cup. Flash. Flash. Flash!! and they become Seniors. There are two senior classes. Mrs. Dark’s and Miss Dougherty’s. Bobby Adair is elected president of the entire class. With much heated discussion but with noticeable sportsmanship, the class selects rings, sponsors the Rison Scout Minstrel, and gets the RED AND BLUE organized. Second semester finds the Seniors united. with Miss Dougherty as sponsor. The business of graduation begins with the selection of invitations, caps and gowns, class day details, sponsorship of the Avon Shake-sperian players, and work for and on the second edition of PIERIAN. Graduation finds only about seventy-five hesitating Seniors —hesitating about careers, colleges. and leaving their dear old Alma Mater. Now these seventy-five are left to a greater historian. LIFE. BEHIND THE SCENES OF LITTLE MISS FORTUNE The scenery is supported by one door and when the wind blows it makes it rock. The table has “stage fright” and tries to fall. Ottie Lee and Dick are constantly keeping up a din on the piano. Peyton Thrasher fills the space where a what-not should be. Walter holds Mrs. Cooper’s hand too tightly. Jean Moriarity runs around telling everybody, “I know something I can’t tell. Has anybody seen my book?” John Rison Jones acts as temporary prop man making the door bell ring with a glass and a spoon. The divan is composed of three chairs placed alongside each other. Mr. Hines tries to get Peyton to use a legal tone (as befits a lawyer). Despite the numerous handicaps the play was a tremendous success. DIARY REVEALS PIERIAN FACTS (Continued from page 1) laying precaution required more of the already short time. The seniors, however, in a feverish drive for subscriptions and advertisements. obtained the necessary amount. The class elected the editor and assistant editor. These, in turn, chose their staff, and the race between the annual staff and Father Time had begun. The staff, in three weeks time, had all the photographs made, the copy written, and the material sent to the printers. This required working until five or six o’clock at school many days and additional working at home on the part of the staff. This anonymous diary concluded its account of the seniors’ progress in publishing the Pierian with the following entreaty to the juniors: “I hope the juniors will realize the value of an annual as we. the seniors of 1938. have, and will, in 1939. publish a volume three of the Pierian which will surpass this volume two.” MANY INTERESTING CHAPEL PROGRAMS (Continued from page 1) by part of Harry Allen’s orchestra. There were many visitors who afforded us numerous enjoyable chapel periods. These were: Mr. George Mahoney, Rev. J. T. Chitwood. Rev. Neil Stevens, Rev. Glasgow. Dr. John Milford. “Pappy” Rosenau and his son Just Wandering 1948 Well, this column is being continued from 1938 when the Class of 38 graduated . . . Lots of things have happened ...
