 Y A LXXXXXXXXXAA ryxXXXXXXjQpUWVxX History of Class ’27 T T T K of the Class of ’27 know well the history of our high school career. The successes, failures, joys, and sorrows are imprinted on the minds of each one of our number. Xo doubt our minds will often revert to the scenes and events of our school life at our Alma Mater during the past four years. However as we go out from here into different environments, we wish to take with us a record so that others may really know tin paths our class have trod; hence we place before you the storv in four volumes. On the first you see engraved an anchor, emblem of hope; for our hopes and aspirations were high, when in the fall of ’23 we met as a group of Freshmen and organized, with Mildred Jones as our president, and with Miss Thornton as our able adviser. Certainly we needed a competent guide to point out the unknown pathway before us. Volume 11 hears a heart imbedded in its cover, telling of the love which hound us together. Since working toward the same goal we learned to go hand in hand with sympathy and understanding. We had caught the high school spirit and prided ourselves on reaching this second step—the Sophomore year. Again we needed willing helpers. For this we chose Maxwell Garner as president and Mr. Dalton as our Facultv adviser. Volume 111 carries a cross signifying the faith and courage gained along the way. As we had gained confidence, we now felt that we would endure to the end and 1m prepared to take up more difficult tasks. Belvin Blalock was selected President and Miss Harville director. This mile was not so hard, for in the distance was a glimpse of our Senior year. On the last volume we display a palm-emblem of triumph and victory, and al- though some of our original hand have not followed us on to the end, we stand thirty- three in number. We realized that the long-looked-for goal was nearby, so Beivin Blalock, having shown his ability as leader in our Junior year, was again chosen counselor. It seems impossible that this trying part of the journey could have been overcame without the faithfulness and untiring efforts of Mr. Paper, our Faculty adviser. Closing this last volume, we the class of ’27 will our love and promise to ever be true to our dear Alma Mater. Kmookxk Baitom, Historian. Twenly-six
