Although these settlers had successfully passed the first phase in their life, grammar school, after much hard work and study had been completed, they were meek and shied away from the three clans which already inhabited this strange and frightening land. 1 his new clan was called “Freshman’’ by its elders, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and with perseverance and will-power they progressed rapidly under the direction of J. T. Fesperman, Jr., president; Herman Hudspeth, vice-president; Betty Lindsay, secretary; and Christine Troutman, treasurer, as freshman clan leaders, and Misses Mildred Hutchinson, Crystal Henderson, Thelma Killian, and Messrs. Howard Baker, and Lester McCarn as faculty guides, and Mr. John Dupree, chief guide. With much jubilation and excitement the settlers plowed the new ground and eagerly awaited the coming of their second year. For some, the first year had been too strenuous and the number of settlers now was only two hundred and fifty-three. Being sophomores seemed to make the work easier and more enjoyable, and with Charles Deese, president; Herman Hudspeth, vice-president; Betty Jean Lindsay, secretary: and Christine Troutman, treasurer, and Mrs. J. D. Taylor, Misses Martha Hood, Margaret Franks, Nellie Alex- ander, and Mr. Paul Hudson as chief rulers, the seed of learning and wisdom had been planted deep into the ground as phase two of their new life drew to a close. In epoch three, there was more time for extra activities, because these settlers had become well acquainted with the settlement and the procedure which was followed. Such activities as Junior-Senior Prom, Senior-Junior Party and the junior class play, “Laugh Clown, high-lighted the third year. Page Four SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Under the guidance of Billy Robertson, president; Herman Hudspeth, vice-president; Inez Price, secretary: and Anna Ruth Scott, treasurer, as group leaders, and Misses Margaret Boylan. Beulah Lassiter, Martha Hood, Mrs. Thurman Frye, and Mr. J. D. Taylor, chief leaders, the settlers advanced into the territory of seniors and the third era at Cannon High came to a close just as the field of harvest was beginning to turn brown from the knowledge of wisdom seekers. The fourth and last epoch at Cannon High was the most delight- ful and eventful of all. In December, the R. C. A. two-way com- munication system, a gift of the senior classes of 41 and 42. was installed in each home room, and the Student Government Congress was held with much success. Many social functions featured the closing period in this new but now familiar land. A most enjoyable event was the Barnwarming which followed Senior Day. The seniors entertained the juniors at the Senior-Junior Party. But the main event was the Junior-Senior Banquet given in honor of the seniors. Leaders who guided the fond lovers of learning through this last era were: Sarah Goodwin, president: Hilda Maulden, vice-president: J. T. Fesperman, Jr., secretary; and Charles Deese, treasurer; with Misses Loraine Gray, Mary E. Cox, Mildred Hutchinson. Thelma Killian, and Margaret Abernethy as faculty guides. But at last the harvest field of knowledge and learning had been reaped and the settlers realized that epoch four was quickly drawing to a close. It is with joy and sorrow alike that we say “Good-bye” to this country which has been our home for four inspiring years. As we head out into fields yet unknown and unconquered along life’s road, each of us can truly and proudly say, “I sought, I found, I mastered.” Page Five SENIORS Troy Eugene Alexander Honor Society 3, 4; Monitor 4; Business Club President 4; Clean-up Committee 4; Teacher Student Administration Day 4; Social Committee 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Hobby Club 3; Safety Club 3; Junior Concession 3; Red Cross Representative 2; Session House 1; Home Room President 1; Model Airplane Club 1 ; Marshal for Commencement 2, 3.

Our school days here have been happy ones Memories that will never pass, As we step out to greet new life Let ' s each be an honor to the Senior Class. Our teachers here have helped us much To carry through our high school years, That with firm foundation, we may step forth To be outstanding, no room for fears. We all regret to leave the past Our friends that are dear and kind. But as old destiny beckons, we ll answer the call With a free and willing mind.
