QQUFR1 I , ' p C N , , at ,rv so W ' u il, . , . l I i I .. . . .. we decided that we wouldnt be 'breeniesu very long. There were about thirty-five of us Freshmen, and when you hear the remainder of this valuable history you will see that it was quality as well as quantity. The first thing of great importance which we accomplished was winning first prize on l-lallowe'en night for having the best and most original stunt of all the classes. This, of course, made the other classes have it in for us because they thought to let the Freshmen beat them was a disgrace. flvater they learned that if they beat the Freshmen it was an honor very hard to gain.l So the All-Wise Sophomores md Seniors challenged the poor little Freshmen fas they thoughtj and the Juniors for a field meet. The Juniors did not have any athletes to contribute to this big affair, but we knew we could do it without them, so we accepted the challenge. The eventful day arrived, and, with j. B., Russell, Cesco, Ray, Raleigh and Lee, who later proved to be A. B. A.'s great athletes, we carried away the victory again. After this glorious victory we were never called Rats or Greenies The next year found us a group of Know-It-Alls in the new building. This year our class gave over half of the men of a football team that A. B. A. will ever be proud to own. The team won not only in score, but they were complimented everywhere for their clean playing. ln this year our class shone in scholarship. A large number of the ones on the honor roll were from the Sophomore Class, and llliddyf' our faithful class president, won the Barnard Carroll Alderson scholarship. The year of 1022 found a large number of the class back. But how grieved we were when Vida llicfiaughlin did not come backg also Hilda, Mildred, and others whom we loved. lint Vida's absence WTIS a great loss to our class in. two ways-of course, we lost Vida, but that isn't all, we lost Deacon. He missed those brown tyes and rosy cheeks and sunny smile so much that he could not bear to stay in the class. So he moved on to the Senior Class of '23, but later he wished he had stayed, when it seemed that our class had a new member from Virginia, who in size could equal Vida. This was our peppy and well-beloved Culpeppah. This year went on with many good times as to hikes to Bakers Mill, etc., but the crowning event was the banquet given the Seniors by the Juniors. And, of course, everybody said it was the best reception ever given in a class in A. li. A. It couldn't help but be such. for the Class of '24 gave it. And there never was a Class of '24 before. Again this year our scholarship was high, and Hllliddyl' took the scholarship, and on the fxemption list were seventeen namesg ten of these were Juniors. lint now, dear Class, our history is almost over- Nol Now let me see if we have done anything in the year 1923-24. Oh, yes, there are twenty-four Seniorsg some of the old members aren't back, but we have new ones, and the largest class that ever graduated from A. B. A. is about to graduate-- The Class of '24. This tear we have undertaken a great big job to put out the first Annual of A. B. A., and by the co-operation of the student body it is a success, and we are all proud to carry our Animals home with us. And now, Class, as we have been so victorious and ever successful in these four short years, as our history shows, may the history of each of our lives be just so. JULIA M. JONES, Class Historian. 62

MW sz E?i iypf THE BOARDWALK ni32QZZ5 fc ,,Vt Class Will x AVING wearied of this school existence, and being warned by the stars and other phe- nomena that our career here is soon to end, we, the Class of 1924, of Alderson Baptist 'i or ts rsigfiq Academy, are about to make our last will and testament. Realizing that all careers, ul-Ci whether of individuals or organizations, must sometime end, we hope that this cul- mination of our own will be at least not inglorious. Perhaps it is not for us to say what measure we have attained success while here, but we must surely judge for ourselves how nearly we have fulfilled our ambitious. As a class we shall soon be dead, and our cherished possessions we dispense as follows: ARTICLE I Clansr I. To the Freshmen, our ambitions as Freshmen to achieve greatness, thereby winning favor in the eyes of Dr. Forbell. Clausr 2. To the Juniors, our anticipated attacks of stage fright at Commencement exercises, and also our desire for Senior privileges, with these provisions: First, if by some unthought of miracle this desire is ever realized, all members of the Class of '24, shall he immediately notified, the notices being accompanied by affidavits to remove doubts. Second, if las we expectl this desire is not realized, it shall be willed in turn to the class who will succeed the present juniors, with these same provisions. Clauxr 3. To Professor Cantrell we bequeath a share of our intrepid daring, that he may calmly face attempted robberies, firecracker bombardments, pains of the dentists chair, and trials of the football field. ARTICLE Il Clause I. To Miss Bailey we eagerly leave our English IV notebooks in their entirety, grammatical errors, witty expressions, artistic thoughts and individual ideas, provided that Miss Bailey will agree to take from each of said notebooks the poem contained therein and publish all in one volume. Clarur 2. VVe reluctantly will to the juniors our corner in the Auditorium for holding class meetings, and hope their decisions will be as wise and their meetings as full of joy as ours have been. Clause 3. To the Y. VV. C. A. we leave the oliice room of our Annual Staff, which will provide a place where the Cabinet can plan campaigns for funds, and members can hold truth- meetings undisturbed. EXRTICLE III Clause l. To Professor McRae we leave a portion of our youthful outlook on life, so that he may not become discouraged with the rising generation when grading Sophomore Bible examination papers. Clausr 2. VVe leave to the town of Alderson our best wishes for the growth of its population, for the progress of its industries, for the development of its institutions, and the continued efficiency of its water system. Claim' 3. To the Y. M. C. A. we cheerfullyrbequeath all money left in the treasury after the expenses of publishing the Annual have been metg providing, first, that a part of the money he used to buy new records for the phonograph from time to time, second, that the remainder be used to equip a gymnasium and Y room in the new Boys' Dormitory. ARTICLE IV lndividual property we will and bequeath as follows: Clause I. l, Boss Ilolland, will: Item 1. To Roy Damron my broom and dust pan, 6+
