HISTORY September in the year 1939 is a month that all of us like to remember. At this time we were truly beginning a new experience. No longer were we to sleep late and play at home all day long, always with Mother right there to tell us what to do. Yes, it was a new experience to have to live according to bells, to carry books to and from school, and learn to get along with not just a few play- mates, but with thirty-seven girls and thirty-five boys. This group was divided into two sections - one in Mrs. Richardson's room, and the other with Miss Bailey. How we enjoyed drawing, singing, cutting paper, and learning to read! We were taught to count and even write a little. Our second year was unlike the first, for now we began to have homework to do and were sometimes kept in at recess for misbehavior. We discovered our singing talent when in the fourth grade. Miss Wofford taught us many songs, but our favorite was Deep in the Heart of Tokyo. When we entered the fifth grade, both sections were combined into one grou which was under the direction of Miss Driggers. There we became familiar witli sticking gum on our noses. This was the punishment we received when we were caught chewing it. This was also the year that Harold bit the teacher's finger. When the next few years passed we found ourselves about to become a part of high school. Though it was only a matter of changing teachers each period, we were very pleased to become members of the Freshman Class. There are some things we shall never forget: Algebra with Mr. Woodbury, which was Sam's favorite - Herbariums in Biology, and French under Miss Polatty - Conjugations, term papers and notes, notes, and more notes for Miss Cox - That quiet, restful Democracy Class with Mr. Seignious - Speed-tests and Work-sheets for Miss Floyd .- State Fair trips - Ninth-grade Puppy-loves - Acting like monkeys at Senior Play practice - Senior girls being at absolute peace and rest last period with no boys around to worry them - Those long, long, dreary hours of Junior Play practice, which finally resulted in a masterpiece fOr so we thoughtll - Those wonderful rainy days during the Junior House Party at Pawley's Island!!! And now we've come to our final ,year and the day of Caps and Gowns is about here. We are all very happy because we have looked forward to this day for twelve long years. But when we glance back into those years, the forth- comin Graduation Day brings a little sadness also because it will probably mark Sie last time we will all be together. We feel that Andrews High School, Mr. Garris, Mr. Millard, and all the teach- ers have done their best in helping mold our futures so that we might all be good citizens. Our class will always remember A.H.S. with many smiles. Bobby Watford Historian 20
