Senior History i i I It was the seventh day of September, 1939—a calm peace- ful day, radiant with the sunshine of hope cheer and joyous promise, that the ship stood anchor at Carter high at the wharf of a new school year with 51 green freshmen aboard. It was rumored that we were about to set aail over new and untried waters in quest for the Fountain of Understanding. Even then we realised this was the most im- portant voyage of our lives. Mrs» Hunt was chosen sponsor; Evelyn Carter, president; lone Parks,vice prct- ident; Lola Speelmon, secretary; and Lucille Kennedy, treasurer. One gala day found us beautifully attired in long dresses, nice braids, short pants and attractive green bows, due to the thoughtful sophomores.

Then came our junior year. We were very proud to say that we were upper classmen. Miss Withrow was chosen class sponsor; Donald Townsend, president; James Marty, vice president; and lone Parks, secretary and treasure» We began plans for the annual prom, and used a patriotic and spring theme combined tfox4 originality wi introduced a new idea of crowning a prom iueen which was Ruth Albert. Lola Speel- mon won another scholastic letter that year and Anabel Whitney was nominated class queen. It has been a most wonderful voyage and now we come to our senior year. We have accum- ulated many souveniers from every port Geraldine Clocksin and Margie Hubbard were chosen Co-Valedictorian while Gloria Gundlach was Salutatorian. Of the twenty- nine members, Zoe Dague, Gloria Gundlach and Margie Hubbard received scholastic letters. The tides have come and gone and the waves of examinations have sometimes tried their worst to overwhelm us; but none of them succeeded.
