As we turn back years of memory, To the days when we first met, It seems as if it were yesterday,- They're days we cannot forget. , Just four years ago we were Freshmen, The greenest that could be found, Climbing the famous high school ladder, We had to start at the ground. We thought we were the stuff as Freshmen, Till we reached the Soph'more Class, Just think, next year we would be Juniors, If we should happen to pass. The next year rolled around as usual. We had reached the third mile-post. We were near the end of the journey, Why, we could see it, almost. Then next year we wereimighty Seniors. Our goal we could almost see' I' T We were just beginning to finish, ' Our school life so gay and free. V Now we have reached the end of the road, And the glorious prize is ours, As we take one farewell, backward look, At those golden days and hours. And with mingled joy and sadness, We are glad that we are through. We hope that a fond memory of us, gl Will forever stay with you. So here we are, each one, as a -class, Through all this struggle and strife, g We've finished one smallimportant part Of. the great' game of life. ' . . , , -Nina Cranford. FEELINGS OF A SENIOR GIRL She roasted on her way to school, She thought she'd faint 'cause she hadn't her Spanish,' She was horrified over a look- Received from Mr. Marvin J. Hall,' But still she must live thru it For there was Latin-regardless of feeling! She melted' during French, S And thought she'd die from When Miss Townsend was informed That she hadn't a sentence. Yet,'she must go on V For there was yet' Math and History! Fm going to die, wailed that poor fish, I f something don't happen, for my head issplit ting. , Alas, poor Senior, if you haven't your History For they say Miss Annie's in a dreadful rage. Cheer up, old gal, say the boys, do like us- Don't give a darn. ' She was so squelched by Miss Willis, That she felt she could easily Have gone thru the floor To the Eighth Grade .Section II Nevertheless, she sat at her desk And in vain tried to. At last! The buzzer! It was three twenty-nine, Everybody tried to refrain From giving vent to his feelings, But, poor Miss Senior-+there was still An hour for her-with Mr. Sijford. - -Lillian Eudy. CLASS SONGS. S l Tune: Just a Girl That Men Forget. f We are now leaving the A. H. S. We wish so much that we could stay We know that you are the very best. And will be forever and aye. CHORUS. We're ending the days we can't forget Dear old days that always be 1 To us just a thought of golden hours And deep in our hearts a tender mem'ry We'll always recall ' Thedays of old. And the' things that now we regret And 'now we say good-bye To our dear old Hi And the friends we can't forget. it IAFOUR 1 rr-v ,K-wr , f , ,T ,,,, .,. . Y ,1-, - - , ,-ef Q4 .

This success was due to the co-operation of the entire Senior Class, and the excellent ability displayed by the cast. Without the fidelity, and patience of the directors, the play would have been a miserable failure. wr :ac :ac Pk As in everything else, the Seniors surpass in clramatics. The class of '27 is proud of the fact that within its walls are found four persons who excell along the line of dramatics. This statement was proved, when Mr. Hall and Miss Lewis took Nina Cranford, Katherine Milton, Lois Watson, and Macon Rowland to Charlotte, and won second place in the state contest. One of the most enjoyable events of the school year, both for the Jtmiors and Seniors, was the junior-Senior banquet. It was clearly shown that the Juniors had co-operated, and worked very hard in order to make every Senior have the best time of his life-and everyone did. An enjoyable pro- gram was carried out, while the most appetizing eats were being served. In behalf of the Seniors, we appreciateevery- thing you have done, and hope the coming Juniors will repay you for the kindness you have shown us. The Seniors cannot be outwitted. There is nothing we can't do. We can play ball, take part in plays, skip school and sing. It is known that we can sing because the greater part of the cast in The Gypsy Rover was from the Senior class. The choruses were very pretty, and the beauty of them was added to by the numerous and attrac- tive costumes. All costumes were made by the mem- bers, which showed another sign of work. P Although we compliment the Glee Club on the entire operetta, we must add an extra word to the Seniors. On November 15, the twosectionsof the Senior History Classes presented the pageant, The Spirit of Independence. The pageant proved to be a great success. This was due to the faithfulness of both major and minor characters. The entire drama was given in colonial costumes, which added reality to the scenes. The couples in the minuet and Virginia Reel wore typical colonial costumes, perfect in every respect. :ne Pk wr ac Of course there is no hatred or jealousy among the two sections of our Senior Class, but Section I does feel proud to have defeated Section II in the school pep meeting. It is said, Hthat you can't keep a good dog'down. So Section I sprang to the front. We've got our rep, welve got our pep, and we've got our picture too. We have the cheer leader in our class which is an advantage .over the others. With Nina Cranford as leader, who could help but do his best? And too, we have only two. boys, and as the usual saying goes-a bunch of girls can make the biggest noise of anything. A number of poppy yells were used which were later adopted as class yells. We have nowyell We need no yell But when we yell - We yell like-S-e-n-i-o-r-s ! ! . Randy, dandy, handy Pete, Senior Class is where we meet, And when we get there We all say- S-e-n-i-o-r-s l-S-e-n-i-o-r-s! Yea, Yea, Yea!!! The Ambitious Senior. When ice cream grows on the sycamore tree, And Sahara's sands are muddy, When fish walk around enjoying the breeze, That's when I like to study. fx: Pk ik D Bill: Do you dance? Lib: Yes, I love to. ' ' Bill: f'By gosh, that beats dancing anytime. Irvin: g I've got lots of electricity in my hair. Bill S.: Why not? It's hooked up to a dry cell. - wr Pk wk Miss Whitener: What is meant by the 'Ma son and Dixon' line? Bill S.: It is the dividing line between light- bread and biscuit.
