VVe love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently. Nancy is always ready and willing to do what she is asked to do, especially when the request is for playing the piano or for chauflering. VVe regret that Nancy's family waited until the midd'e of this year to move to VVinston-Salem-our associations with her have been too short.

Mllllhie History of the Senior Class T was in the ninth month of the twenty-sixth year of the twentieth century that a stray group of girls crossed the portals of Salem Academy for the first time. VVe were so absolutely green looking that we were immediately given full possession of the title, Freshmen. After drifting around awhile we began to catch on to the ways and means of the place. VVe had hardly arrived, in fact, when we found that the first thing any class did was to have an all-important class meeting to elect officers. VVe were fortunate in choosing for our class sponsor a faculty l'lre5l'nnan, Bliss Lucille Reid, who sympathetically covered our blundering steps. VVe selected the three members of the class who were less green than the others for our officers-lllary Taft as president, Gertrude Stockton as vice-p1'esident and Sue lXIcCluskey as secretary and treasurer. VVith these leaders We worked very hard. especially in athletics, but we failed to capture any of the trophies. However, with the help of the juniors, or l should say, the juniors with our aid won the speedball championship. After the spo1't season we made our debut socially when we tried to show our sister class, the juniors, just how nice we green things were by taking them on a back-to-nature picnic at Peter Pan. Thus ended our green efforts. This class of 1930 really began in the sophomore year since Gertrude Stockton was th: only member of the Freshman Class who had strolled shyly into Salem the year before to experience the thrill of returning as a worthy and wise sophomore. The larger part of the class went to New York to spend the fall when Penelope Allen decided to try her fate in the said metropolis. The fascination of the city evi- dently wore off rather soon for Penny since she returned to Salem after Christmas to help Gertrude train the eighteen new girls to become very bold sophomores. Before she arrived, however, we had, under the very able leadership of Bliss Dorothy Knox as class sponsor, got on our feet and accomplished a few things. Elvira Hudson, our president, and hlaude Johns and Dorothy Ryman, our other officers, had done much in assisting this leadership. They organized our athletics, but all our attempts were again thwarted by the illustrious Class of l2Q. Immediately we began building our hopes on what we would do when this class was removed from our midst. Our efforts finally were rewarded when our class mimerals were engraved on the athletic percentage cup, for we had gone out one hundred per cent for sports. Again the time came for us to enter the social world and show our sister class that there was only a faint sign of greenness left. This time our party was a luncheon at the Blue VVillow Tea Room. After this and our inevitable examinations we said good-bye to Salem for three months. VVhen we returned to the realm of Salem Academy in September, '28, we found many changes that had taken place. How anxious we were to see the eight old girls who had returned! And how eagerly we sought the six new girls who were to join 14 -r-.Q v -1
