ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS. One bright morning in September, about four years ago, a starry-eyed group of youngsters decided that they would like to go on the stage. To the casual e ye of the observer, these youngsters seemed merely a group of ordinary girl sc and boys well dressed, reasonably good looking and badly frightened. But to the trained eyes of the dauntless and experienced explorers, these strangerss seemed distinct and widely separated individuals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies and capabilities decidedly worth finding out. Gently attempting to dispel the fears of the strangers, the faculty bade them enter and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friendship. They succeeded after grea t difficulty in accomplishing this. During this year, our class officers were as follows: President, Gertrude Lewis; Secretary, Queen Johnson; Treasurer, Mr. Harris; Reporter, Ruby Moses. During the year, we presented a one-act play, entitled ‘ Who Murdered Who under the sponsorship of Mr. Greenville Harris. Our second y.ear we advanced to property managers. The routine of the class room was now familiar and we found studying easier than before. The Sophomore Class organization was as follows: President, Rosalie Smith; Secre- tary, Dorothy Hall; Treasurer, Mr. Harris; Reporter, Ruby Moses. The talents discovered the previous year were developing ranidly, and the exploring teachers found much to please them, but also much to displease them. Our hit for the school year was the one-act play entitled Rumors Wanted. Our next promotion put us in our Junior year. We had looked forward to this because being a Junior would make us feel that gradually our high school days were coming to a close. Our officers were as follows: President, Gertrude Lewis; Secretary, Annie Adams; Treasurer, Mr. Harris; Reporter, Ruby Moses. We were under the supervision of Mr. Harris, with Mrs. T. J. Ware as assistant. Our class chose as its class colors, blue and yellow; class flower sweet pea; class motto, Success Awaits at Labor’s Gate. As a class project ’ we sponsored a Baby Contest which was a great success. It was also during ’ this year that our class raised the most money in the school’s Lunch Room Pro- ject, for which we received a prize. The most outstanding event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, which proved to be quite a success, thanks to the ' untiring efforts of each Junior, in putting the work over. Finally, we reached the goal for which every Junior had been striving- that of Dignified Seniors. We feel as though we are kings and queens in shin- ing armour. We are striving to make this year the most Joyous and happiest ever. Our class officers are as follows: President, Gertrude Lewis; Secretarv Annie A dams; Treasurer, Mr. H arris; Reporter, Ruby Moses. Mr. Harris is still the pilot of our class and we believe that we would not have attained the sue cess that we have attained without his guiding hand. Already by reauest v ' e have presented our sophomore one-act play entitled Rumors Wanted at Central Hi and Pikeville Training School. The greatest event of our class thus far has been winning the prize for having raised the most money on the school’s Bus Drive Project. This bus is for the purpose of transporting ounlls extra-class activities- We have diligently labored four years and in accord with our SUCCESS AWAITS AT LABOR’S GATE, we have now achieved success. motto -
