GRADUATES... HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF I94O In the fall of 1929 sixty-two small and rather bewildered second graders gazed in awe upon the seemingly huge halls of this new school, after one year in several one- or two-room school houses scattered over the nearby country. These over-awed students started their new education under the guidance and supervision of Miss Helen Smythe and Miss Nancy Laugh. Coming back into the now familiar halls of Anderson the next year, we were welcomed by Miss Catherine Smythe and Miss Elsie Harmon. After a few days we gradually learned the faces and names of our fellow classmates. In the fourth grade we considered ourselves very grown up, since we were upstairs on the same floor with the high school. This year our home room teachers were Mrs. Bessie Ayer and Miss Elsie Harmon. Time marches on! We are now fifth graders, under the tender care of Miss Eleanor Powers and Miss Marjory Sturm. This year we started moving from class to class for the first time. In the sixth grade, under the auspices of Mrs. Georgia Ayer and Miss Marjory Sturm, who passed us to Miss Gertrude Addicott and Mr. L. W. Hurst, home room teachers for the seventh grade. Here we reached the place where we looked down upon the lower six grades, because now we were in junior High School. In the eighth grade, under Miss Gertrude Addicott and Mr. M. J. Ellis, we looked forward with mingled hopes and fears to the eighth grade state exam. Passing, as a whole, with flying colors, we reached the end of our elementary schooling with our eighth grade graduation. Pew-nfv-four of us entered the sanctified, and hitherto, prohibited halls of the high school as green freshmen, who were initiated with a vengeance by the sophomores. We were steered through these troubled times by Miss Elizabeth Hines and Mr. E. E. Miller. As sophomores we were denied the privilege of initiating the next freshman class. In our second year we were under the guidance of Miss Vera Nash and Mr. L. W. Hurst. As juniors, we produced the very successful class play, Going on Seventeen . This year, under Mrs. Mary Struke and Mr. Charles Brown, we pushed many an organization to success because of the solid front we showed. We gave for the seniors a colorful banquet built around the theme of Mexico. In our last year, with Mrs. Florence Bath and Mr. J. G. Srofe as our advisors and helpmates, we enjoyed a very prosperous year. Mrs. Mary Struke directed our class play, the comedy, Footloose As seniors our year has been one full of joys, hard work, and successful venturings. The class of 1940, the second to break such a precedent in ten years, wore caps and gowns at their graduation. We, the senior class of 1940, will always remember the help, advice and friendliness we have received at Anderson, our school for eleven years.
