Class History In September, 1932, a large number of students entered the White Plains High School. We were very ambitious to reach our future goal but at the beginning of the second semester a dark shadow crossed our path— schools closed. We finished our last semester’s work after we started back to school in September, 1933, and was promoted to the eighth grade in January. We saw the Senior Class graduation in January. The exercises were very beautiful. When we entered school in September in 1934, we were eager to start back on our rough journey. We completed our eighth year’s work and was promoted to the Freshman class in January, 1934. As we started in our advanced path our hearts were filled with hope and pride. Our dearly beloved principal, Professor M. A. Vickors, resigned in the spring and Mr. Harvey Nelson filled his vacancy. He has been our guid- ing hand since. We were glad when the time came for us to enter school in September, 1934. We had four new teachers to guide our footsteps. They were: Mrs. Rice, Miss Rivers, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Hamric. We were reclassified at the beginning of the term. We were pro- moted to the Sophomore class thus leaving the last half of our Freshman year unfinished. We have completed this work as the years have passed. In the Spring we lost one of our dear classmates. Tommy Houck, whom we missed very much. He was called home to rest. Canola Whiteside and Evie Brown joined our class at mid-term. We were glad to have them with us. Miss Rivers cast her anchor and plunged off into the sea of matri- mony. We were very happy when we started back to school in September, 1936, for we realized we were near our goal and that one step in the wrong direction would end all of our dreams. Mrs. Adderholdt, our English teacher, whom we all loved dearly re- signed in November. Mrs. G. K. Holston took her place. Mr Season, our history teacher, whom we classified as a flirt, resign- ed at the end of the first semester. Mr. S. L. Prickett, who was dark and handsome, filled his place. Our class has been represented many times as being on the honor roll and the members have been represented in all spores. We were promoted to the Senior Class on June 1, 1937.
