Harris Diamonds in the Hough On August 16, 1948, two hundred sixty-two green, trembling freshmen with knocking knees and thumping hearts entered the austere portals of L. C. H, S. for the first time. All were diamonds in the rough, sadly in need of a good polish job from the adept hands of the Law-Co-Hi faculty. At a noisy class meeting held soon after school opened, Inez Sandusky was elected president, Tommy Downey, vice-presidentg George Lanning. secre- tary-treasurerg and Misses Annie Mary Springer and Fran- ces Smallwood, sponsors. Nothing of importance occurred that year, though many of us did, during the first quarter. purchase study hall seats at exorbitant prices from certain high-pressured, slick-tongued senior salesmen -- in spite of warning from the principal, Mr. Coffman, that the study hall was not owned by the seniors and consequently was not theirs to sell or rent at any price! There were only two hundred one of us at the beginning of our sophomore year, sixty-one having fallen by the wayside because of grades, love, work, and other reasons. Some rough edges were gone and we were beginning to showdefinite signs of possessing intellects. All of us were resigned to the fact that it was almost useless to try to play hookey. Some of us had learned the hard way -- by experience -- that Mr. Coffman possessed an all seeing eye and knew what mischief freshmen were planning even before they didl Our sophomore officers were Charles McCrory, president, Billy Joe Graves. vice-presi- dentg Martha Scoggin. secretary-treasurerg our sponsors were Mr. Beard and Mr. Frazier. As juniors, we returned in 1950, with a class of one hundred eighty. Our officers were Charles McCrory, presidentg Margaret Martin, vice-president, Tyson Robert- son, secretary-treasurerg our sponsors were Mrs. Kirkland and Mr.Crews. As is customary, we published the Wild- cat , from which we realized a profit of iB140,78. We gave the senior class S100 toward the expenses of their trip to Memphis, at the end of the year we enjoyed a recreational patty at Fairview Park. After all expenses had been paid, we had 5513.32 to start our senior year. Somewhat polished and beginning to gleam with knowledge, one hundred fifty-four of the original class returned as seniors in July, 1951. Our officers were Bobby Brewer, presidentgGene Rayfield, vice-presidentg Cecilia Evers, secretary, J. B. Perry, treasurerg our sponsors were Miss Helton, Mr. Henson, and Miss Old. In order to finance our class project -- the purchase and installation of the backboards in the new gymnasium ata cost of approximately S3600 -- we worked tirelessly throughout the year. The gross sales of the annual mag- azine drive topped those of all previous classes and we netted about S1100 from the sale. The Tennessee Team, led by Miss Old, edged out the Vanderbilt Team by a few dollars. Funds derived from the sale of food at foot- ball games, at basketball games, and at the District and RegionalTournamentsheld in our gym, helped us to rea- lize our projected goal, Not the least of our labors during our senior year was the publication of the 1952 Law-Co-Hi , not only was it the largest L. C, H, S,annual to date, but more copies of it were sold than of any previous edition. Gur class had the distinction of conducting the first assembly of the whole school in the new gym at the sixth period on Tuesday, January 15, just before the dedication of the building that night. We also helped brake in the stage of the new building, presenting several plays in the spring. The final grinding and polishing processes were ad- ministered to us during the last week in April -f exams -- but all this was past and forgotten when we marched by and received our diplomas! We were at last really polished and glowing with our newly acquired dignity as graduates of L. C, H. S,!
