PageTen THE RECORD CLASS HISTORY ANY years ago, in the fall of 1920, we, as the Freshman Class, came to Pikeville College. A wonderful bunch we were tin our own estiinationj, having learned everything there was to learn, and being the most handsome class that ever assembled. But, alas! Our day dreams were but short-lived, for in a very short time the everlasting names of Freshies and Greenies, were bestowed upon us. After consulting the dictionary tconcerning the meaning of the two wordsj, we decided we were not as popular as we had thought. All through these long four years those two horrible names have terrified us by day and haunted us at night. Although kicked and kuffed' at every turn during that first terrible year, we 'be- came a real class, forty-two in number. This was the largest class up to that time in the history of the school. We elected the following oliicers: Philip Hall, President! Elizabeth Smith. Yice-President, and Bill King, Secretary-Treasurer. The next year as Sophomores we elected John Beran, President: Harry Gantz, Vice- President, and Philip Hall, Secretary-Treas- urer. To us this was a wonderful year, for we were proud that we were a class with noble thoughts and high ideals. In fact, it is our belief that we were the model class of the school. As juniors again we came to the front, and our desire to learn was augmented by the fact that we were approaching Senior- hoodf' Qui' Junior play was an overwhelm- ing success, and the Lyceum as a whole C of which we were in chargej proved 3, Credit to us and to the school. VV e elected the fol- lowing officers: Philip Hall, Presidentg Faustina Pauley 1' now marriedj, Vice- Presidentg W7 alter Hughes, Secretary, and Harry Gantz, Treasurer. This year was an- other wonderful year for us, and we made good use of it. Our Senior year was the greatest and best of all, even though not the most pleasant tfor we studied too hard to be pleasantj. However, we have had our fun and pleas- ure as well. Also we have learned more in this year than we have ever before in our lives, and that is what counts most, after all. We have burned the midnight oil night after night in preparing our lessons Q ??'?j for the next day. After four long years we have won out and are full-Hedged Seniors. The following officers were elected at the begin- ning of the year: C. B. Farley, President, lva Mae Roberts, Vice-President: Fanny Combs, Secretary, and john Beran, Treas- urer. lVe have fought for P. C. for four long years, and have upheld her standardsial- ways: now, as Seniors, we are proud to be the Class of '24, ,g A F 5 ,spy -,J '-13 Qsfjlfa nj
