CLASS HISTORY In the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred thirty-six, two hundred sixty pilgrims in search of knowledge landed on the shores of a country new and vastly different to them. The country in which they settled was known as Cannon High School. These pilgrims banded together to form a new settlement. The members of this new settlement were known as Freshmen by the more experienced settlers. Every group, whether its members be seeking freedom, precious metals, or wisdom, must have leaders. Mr. J. W. Harbison was the chief leader of this tribe, and Mr. H. B. Baker, Mr. W. E. Alexander, Miss Lollie Boyd, Miss Estelle Farris, Mr. E. H. Lewis, Miss Mildred Hutchin- son, Mr. Guy Womble, and Mr. W. A. Masten were his assistants. This new land in which we had settled was run on democratic principles, so for this settle- ment Horace Robertson was elected president; Margaret Goodman, vice-president; and Ola Mae Barbee, secretary and treasurer. In our first year in this new country, a society, the Alpha Chi Sigma, was formed to honor worthy members of the whole country. Quickly a year passed, and the band of Freshman had advanced far enough in their search for knowledge that they were ready to occupy the territory just vacated by the Sophomores. In this new territory they were known by the name of their predecessors, the Sophomores. Again Mr. J. W. Harbison was the chief leader, but Miss Mary Parks Bell, Miss Margaret Boylan, Miss Margaret Franks, Miss Mary Gaffney, and Mr. J. D. Taylor had been chosen as assistants. Paul Kearns served as president. The Freshman year had been rough, and many had fallen by the way; but two hundred fourteen, ninety-one boys and one hundred twenty-three girls, held steadfastly to their goals. Another year sped by, and the seekers after wisdom had reached Junior territory. The Sophomore year had been difficult, and the tribe had dwindled in size to now number only one hundred thirty-six. During the third year Mr. John L. Dupree was chief leader, and Miss Margaret Boylan, Mrs. E. H. Lewis, Miss Helen Smith, and Mr. J. D. Taylor were counselors. In period three, Harold Patterson was president. Since the pilgrims had become accustomed to the land, the way was becoming easier so there was more time for recreation. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a banquet at the Yadkin Hotel in Salisbury. They, in turn, entertained the Juniors at a Senior-Junior Party. The Student Council had as its guests delegates from other high schools to the State Student Council Congress. The lowly Freshmen had traveled so far in their search for increased knowledge, and had been so successful that now they were in the mightiest tribe of all, the Seniors. Mr. John L. Dupree was again chief leader, and Miss Loraine Gray, Miss Helen Whitley, Mrs. Julia McLendon Neal, and Mrs. John Oehler were counselors. Horace Robertson was pres- ident of the Seniors; Coralie Roberts, vice-president; Sarah Yates, secretary; and Murray Jack- son, treasurer. In this last year the Quill and Scroll, an honor society for the outstanding journalists, was inaugurated. Also in this year Student Administration Day had its beginning. A day exclusively for the Seniors was set aside in this, being called Senior Day. Period four was highlighted by many social functions. The Seniors entertained the Juniors at a Senior-Junior Party. A most enjoyable event was the Barn-Warming, but the outstanding social event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. With the close of epoch four, our journey through the country of Cannon High School is over, but wider and more difficult fields lie before us. As we go into the world we must conquer each arising difficulty, as here we have conquered the old, so that at the very end each of us can proudly say: “I came, I saw, I conquered.” — Myra Wilson.
