SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 15, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred thirty-eight, a group of settlers, three hundred and thirty-one in number, ventured into a new phase of their road of life when they settled the country of Cannon High School. 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
