One of the most welcome incidents of this year v as the receiving of the news that there would he no exam inations And there have been none since. In the third year, owing to an old educational custom, the Sophomores became Juniors. This year they were organized under the leadership of Mary Hamner, with Richard Sydnor as Vice-President, Jane Beasley as Secretary, and Audrey Wright as Treasurer. This was a year of hard work and a great many of the class engaged in extra-curricular activities. A girls Hi-Y Club was organized and Kathleen Jones, Mary Hamner, Amy Parley and Mary Willson were cliarter members. The debate teams were victorious at Richmond and went on to Charlottesville. Elsie Wills, Amy Parley, and Mary Willson were members of these teams. The contest play, which v on the cup again this year, had an all Junior cast made up of Elsie Wills, Mary Hamner and Richard Sydnor. Three of the members of this class were among the representatives sent to the State S.C.A. Convention in Roanoke. A Library Club was organized and Ola Ruth Arrington, Virginia Maxey, Ethel Major, Mary Hamner, Amy Parley and Mary Willson v ere members. An important event of this year was the entertaining of the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. At the State Hi-Y Convention, Amy Parley was elected Secretary for the next year. She has the distinction of being the first girl ever to become a State officer. Ann deKrafft and Audrey Wright were on the basket ball team, and a number of the boys were on the baseball team. And now they come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the class. They automatically became Seniors in September, aiid with the gaining of this title, they began to take them.selves more seriously than ever. And when I say ’’seriously , I mean, seriouslyl”. As the year drew to a close there v ere some v ho were positively dizzy v ith dignity, and a few others who could never be dignified.
