CLASS HISTORY On September 13 in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-five, there landed upon the shores of High School Land 281 explorers and wisdom -seekers. Tired after a long, hard journey on the sea of inexperi- ence, they were frightened by the three tribes already living in that territory. There were the Sophomore, the Juniors, and the Seniors. These elder tribes called this new band, Freshmen, meaning “green” in that realm’s language. Despite their inexperience, these Pilgrims made rapid progress under the capable leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth Severence, Miss Estelle Farris, Miss Julia McLendon, Mr. Roscoe Eller, and Mr. W. A. Masten; with Mr. W. J. Bullock, the chief ruler, and Mr. J. W. Harbison as his governing principal. In order to protect the land from outside invasion and promote better fellowship among the four tribes living there, the Council of Student Participation in Government, and the publishing of a chronicle, “The Cannon Report,” was begun. With no great catastrophe and much success, the first year of citizenship in the Land of High School drew to a close. During the next year the Freshmen advanced and took possession of the strongholds vacated by the Sopho- mores when they succeeded to the Junior territory. The Freshmen hardships had taken their toll for now there were only 216 colonists, 96 boys and 120 girls. New fields of learning were conquered and annexed. As time passed the Sophomores found their pilgrimage easier, for their previous experience and the aid of such understanding leaders as Mr. Thomas MacLean, Miss Margaret Boylan, Miss Margaret Franks, and Mr. E. K. Lewis. An as- sembly known as the Alpha Chi Sigma was begun. May Day and Forensic Day were two of the contests which the united tribes engaged in just before the close of this period. Several changes were noted in epoch three. These valiant pilgrims now rose to second in power and occupied the territory which the Juniors had occupied. They chose Henry Lipe, Jr. to preside over them as chief executive with George Gillon, Inez Walters, and Albert Sloop to assist him. The number of members was found to total 156, 71 boys and 85 girls. Faculty rulers during this period were J. W. Harbison, principal, Miss Helen Dugan, Mrs. Kate Lewis, and Mr. J. D. Taylor. An outstanding event was the Junior Class play, “The Impatience of Job.” Important “revelry” functions were the Senior-Junior party, the Senior-Junior Alumni party, and the Junior- Senior Banquet given at the Yadkin Hotel in Salisbury. The historical period four was marked by important revision, for the band who had invaded Freshman Land were now Seniors, the mighty leaders of the whole realm. The pilgrims now numbered 159, 79 boys and 80 girls. They chose Henry Lipe, Jr. again as president; Harry Dayvault, vice-president; Inez Walter, secretary; and Albert Sloop, treasurer, with Miss Helen Whitley, Miss Loraine Gray, Mrs. Julia Neal, and Mrs. John Oehler as guides. George Gillon was chosen “chief” of the Council of Student Government, with Lawrence Seymour as “under- chief.” This organization had as its guests, delegates from most of the tribes in the whole Land of High School and entertained them royally. “The Cannon Report,” under the editorship of Thomas Anderson, was given second rating by the National Scholastic Press Association, and the Girls’ Glee Club won third place in the State Con- tests. May Day and Field Day were also successful. This pilgrim band has conquered all the hardships the Land of High School has to offer. They are trained for a higher and greater battle — The Battle of Life. Yet they take their departure from the Land of High School sadly. n i inmimi i niiimi ii m i iii m i mu n mini mi mimum ni Lmm.mn u rn mn uimniummim ninmna i 20
