The Seniors may get the honors, but the Freshman get the applause, whether in jest or in reality. Our Freshman classes are getting larger and larger all the time and again this year the class was divided into two sections. One section of forty girls, took their places in Hi School in Miss Slemp’s home room. There they labored, won and lost as the year slowly passed. There may be some truth in the statement that no labor is ever lost — if this is true — this class may look to a brighter day. This group of girls is a hard working group, and the majority of them take their school work quite seriously. As in all life we have here our good students and our poor ones. Elizabeth Morris has proved herself a commendable student. She has been rewarded the honor conferred by the Kiwanis Club to the girl making the highest grade in High School. The class may well be pleased by the record of this pupil. The girls showed a very good spirit in athletics and each one of them did her part to further the cause of Basketball. The class was represented by the following girls: Mabel Allen, Cleo Willis, Evelyn Fritts, Anne Witt, Anna Claire Winslow, Pegpw Cambios, Marjorie Winston, Buna Johnson. Betty Ray, Jessie Farmer, Margaret Potter, Evelyn Taylor, Mary Johnson, and Sara Chesnutt. The class gave to the varsity squad one player, Marjorie Winston. We expect much in the Basketball field from Marjorie. Another year a number of these girls may be found on the varsity squad and do their part for the school in the way of victorious Basketball teams. As a whole the class possesses quite a bit of musical and dramatic talent. Some quite creditably took parts as chorus girls in the Kiwanis play, “Miss Blue Bonnet.” This same group participated in like manner in the Senior play, “The Whole Town’s Talking.” During the year they have en- tertained the school by a number of chapel programs. Just before Christmas the class gave as a chapel program, “The Tree That Talked.” Those taking part were: Goldie Neeley, Sara Chesnutt, Peggy Cambios, Elizabeth Morris, and Marjorie Winston. The last program was a musical program giving all the music pupils in the class an opportunity to participate. As a class and individually we believe in our motto, “Little by little does the trick.” To us it means that we must climb to success slowly and not by leaps and bounds. )(c I used to think the bravest guy Was the President of Nicaraugua He’s surely surpassed undoubtedly by The guy who lives in Chicago. Schoolmaster — “Son, what is a highway?” Modern Youngster — “The space between the bill-boards.” ¥ V ¥ ¥ I ¥ ! ■ ' - JL ! t ¥ «r ¥ «- ¥ ¥ JJLm ¥ • ¥ I ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ «• I ¥ I I £ «- I l y ¥ «- -W ■w Y’ f i i Twenty-five T- -t -T- Ft- -T -t- -T ¥

I hrf FRESHMAN CLASS-Boys The Freshman Class of 1931 has an enrollment of thirty-two boys with Miss Gardner as their adviser. You would think a class made up entirely of boys would be a disciplinary problem to its teacher, but they are as meek and quiet as lambs. We are not to forget there is also a class of Freshman girls under their adviser. Miss Slemp. The seniors call us a bunch of “green saps,” but they are wrong. We are green and admit that, but we can show them what we can do. So why look down on the “rats” they, too, will some day be seniors. From the beginning of school the members of this class of boys have shown their ability in the various activities of the school and have! shown a willingness to co-operate in every phase of school work. They have pursued with diligence the several branches of athletics offer- ed in our school. They were represented on the gridiron by Paul Trent, Tom Wheeler, Jack Tucker, Roy Willis, Ralph Callahan, Felix Parrott, and James Miller; in basket ball by Arnold Blaylock, Jack Tucker, and Ralph Callahan. They have also displayed dramatic talent in presenting the school with some very interesting programs as: “Amos ’n Andy in Their Thanksgiving Dinner,” and “The Filming of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” There are several outstanding members in this class : Don King and Teddy Collier are algebra sharks; Ortly Wolfe is very dependable in all the class activities. The Freshman Class counts itself fortunate in having two of its members make the highest averages in high school for the month of March. The Kiwanis Club entertained Don King and Elizabeth Morris at their last dinner as a reward for this distinction. Beleving that progress is the plan of the universe, we, the freshman boys of 1931, shall strive to make the senior class of 1934 one which will break all previous records of our school. — Jack Tucker, ’34. ! t t ■fr l I 4- Xl. £ jX.
