105 0839 It was a beautiful autumn day in 1938, when we laid within ourselves the first cornerstone for 3 Tower of Knowledge. we were an eager group of young children as we laid our foundation for education in the first year of school. During the following six years we worked diligently and arduously to build this inward Tower of Knowledge with the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic, which seemed very deep to such small students; yet this work was comparatively easy with a few days' rest for programs and entertainments at Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Of course, everyone also enjoyed their summer's vacation each year. when the autumn days came once again in 19kb, we were delighted at the thought of crossing the bridges which spanned the ravines between the grade school and the high school to add to our Tower of Knowledge with new subjects and teachers. The subjects seemed harder to us, but with the help of our teachers the obstacles soon vanished with careful planning and study. The first day at the high school building was a definite thrill. The Assembly Hall seemed massive to us since we had Just come from the small grade school rooms. we went to a different room for each class, and there we met a new teacher for each subject. The rooms were numbered and our principal, Ir. Harry A. Jones, had fully explained to us just where each class was to be held; but we were constantly getting confused and ending in rooms with upper classmen. we looked with awe upon the great Seniors and dreamed of the day when we would be like them. When we reported to our first class on Monday morning, many new faces were present in the group. Nineteen students answered the roll call: Anna Mary Coats, Meleta Grim, Jimmie Dudley, Anna Dunn, Pauline Eurton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Vere Jackson, Billie Landreth,i Judy larre, Marilyn McKinley, Donne Honey, Betty lull, Isabell Mull, Ramona Nicholson, welter Scott, Joann Taylor, and Ottie wright. Those who Joined our class from other schools were as unaccustomed to the new ways of study as our own group; so we helped each other, and, in this way, we soon became friendly classmates. we devoted our thoughts end time to our studies throughout the year so that we would build our Tower of Knowledge higher and higher and add more and more knowledge to our education. Thus we completed our seventh year of schooling and made our tower one year nearer its coupletion. In the fall of 19h5, we started back to school again with fourteen students answering the roll call. Seven classmates from the previous year

10 C339 had not returned. They were Jimie Dudley, Pauline Phrton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Billie Landreth, and Walter Scott. To partially fill their places three new students entered our class:'rhressie Garrett, Wayne Gray, and Jackie Whitson. We studied very hard throughout the school months; and when the hat day of school came in the spring of 1916, we were very excited. That was the day we had been looking forward to because we were graduating from Junior High School. Happy, but just a little nervous, we marched into the msium; and after the Seniors were presented with their diplomas, we, the Eighth Graders, were given our diplomas which showed that we were then eligible to become high school students. Returning to Wm. W. Borden High School in the autumn of 1916 seemed just a little diverse. Hany new students entered our class, but only a few had dropped out. The Freshman Class now consisted of: Vivian Mr,- Charles Bierly, Teresa Book, Florence Brownknns Mary Coats, llelets Grim, Patricia. Denny, Anna Dunn, Wilford Faske, Wayne Gray, Elvin Jackson, Vera Jackaon,.Jane Kopp, llarilyn McKinley, Dotty Maddux, Judith Harts, Donna Money, Betty Mull, Isabell MulLRamona Nicholson, Joan Odle, Kenneth Popp, Nettie Watson, Jackie Whitson, and Ottis Wright. Subjects seemed to have made a considerable change also. It was no longer Arithmetic-but Algebra. English still stood unchanged; but with it, Latin. Geography existed no mre, and in its place was World History. New subjects such as Home Economics and Agriculture were undertaken, and during the first week everyone and everything was in a general uproar. But by the end of the first month under the careful guidance and planning of the faculty, subjects and students alike were progressing rapidly. Since we were Freshmen and in high school, we were entitled to two parties a year. The class looked forward to these for their recreation. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, our sponsors, took us on a wiener roast which everyone enjoyed very mch. Next came Christmas, to which we always looked forward with great delight. The privilege of decorating the Christmas tree was given to us, and even the Seniors looked upon this privilege with envy. The only dark cloud in this bright sky of vacation was the thought of the semester examinations, which were to be given as soon as we returned from our gals holiday. On January 1, everyone made a New Year's resolution to study harder and nuke better grades in the year of 19h7. After finishing our semester ems, we felt very relieved, settled down to work for another month, and made plans for our last party of the year. On the night of February 11;, Donna Honey was the hostess st our Valentine's party; but some of us did not get to attend because of the snow and the icy roads.
