Class History |T X 1925 at the opening of the fall term of Cary High School, there eagerly waited a band of forty-five students. These students were waiting to become Freshmen; and these same students now compose our Senior Class. To get a good start in our high school career Edgar Cleghorn was chosen as our leader and Miss Mary York as our adviser. After the excitement of the first few weeks had died out the time passed swiftly and Commencement was at hand. We watched with delight the graduating class, hoping some day to be in their place. The next year our class, with some members having dropped out and a few new ones arrived, we met and elected Martha Castlebury president and Miss Clara Xichols as our adviser. In this stage of our high school career we had a sense of freedom and importance. We could look back to our Freshmen days and see how unimportant we were. The class was saddened however, by its loss of a faithful member, Ralph Farrell. The third meeting of our class started off in a very serious way compared with last year. Margaret Curtis was chosen as our leader and Miss Pearl Jones as our adviser. The gay school life featuring the Society Reception and the Junior-Senior Banquet, helped eliminate the nervous mood of the class and the year passed very rapidly. We were again enjoying Commencement, watching with eager eyes the movements of the graduating class for we were to be in their place the next year. At the beginning of our fourth and last year together we met in a businesslike manner to prepare for the work of the year. The class, now thirty-five strong, elected Frank Batts President and Mr. L. E. Raper as adviser. The members went to work with a will and the Chsitk. with the students working hard under the leadership of Mr. Raper, began to take shape. Too soon the final examinations were at hand, and with a feeling of sadness we realized our high school days were numbered. We had always looked upon the graduating exercises as a thing of enjoyment, but there was a feeling of regret when we thought of leaving our grand old high school. We arc now gone and look back to our by-gone high school days. We leave with the hope that Cary High School is a better place for our having spent four years there. Twenty-four
