CHAIVIHIAN one of our young maidens off to the minister. In a very short time he made another visit and his arrow struck again. We all missed these girls greatly and thought surely that we wouldn't lose another but just as we were finishing our annual the Hold love bugw hit again and our hearts were saddened as we heard wedding bells ringing. We had lost another. Although the end is near and we will soon he leaving dear ole Chamblee Hii' we shall always remember her. We have enjoyed so many pleasant hours within her shadows we could not possibly forget. We have Mr. Smith and all the faculty to thank for this and we do so from the depths of our hearts. Our hearts are saddened as we think of leaving but we realize we must go. As we look off into the distance and see the road we are soon to travel we shiverg hut are we going to let this get us down? No! We are not going to stop now but we are going to remain true to our motto and HKEEP ON KEEPING ON. G. P. GROGAN, JR., CLASS HISTOIIIAN. 1937

CHAMHIAN SENIOR CLASS I-IISTCDRY T LAST we have attained the height of our ambition-the ambition to be SENIORS. We have long looked forward to the time when we would become Seniors and wondered how it would feel to be one, but now that we are Seniors we feel no different than before. In a way we wish we had not as yet attained this height for it means we must soon leave the highway that we have trod- den with the carefree crowd of our contemporaries and pass into the jungle of life to cut our own trail. Often times we have thought the way was hard and sometimes almost unbearable, but when we see the rough and rocky road ahead of us we realize what an easy life we have really had. Our little caravan of ambitious students first blazed its way on to the highway of high school life in 1932. Our number was small but our accomplishments were great. With our advent on to this Highway of Education we ran into two new subjects-Algebra and Science. They evidently proved fatal to a few but were conquered by the most of us. When we entered our second year we had gathered a little more courage and began to feel our importance as '4Sophs,'. This time we were greeted by Biology and Ancient History. Our number had decreased somewhat from our Freshman year but we fought the battle bravely. After two years of hard grind in high school life we became Juniors,'. This year our number was increased by shining faces from Brookhaven. At the beginning of our Mluniori' year our class numbered 67 but some were lost by the wayside and we entered our Senior year numbering 58. As we entered our third year the most of us were snarled at by Geometry and French but, as before, we only laughed at their furiousness, tucked them under our arm and hurried on. And at last we are Seniors. We have reached our goal. That is, our goal of yesteryears, for our goal is now, of course, a higher one. LTHOUGH we have set many records, we are modest concerning our accomplishments. We have produced outstanding students in several fields. Our outstanding stars in athletics are: Robert Dove and Roy Head, whose skill in handling the ball has won us many games for the boysg Anne Black- well, Ethel Dove, Margarete Chesnut, Dorothy Daniel, Byrle Gay, Rose Mary Sealy, and Martha Wal- lace have contributed much skill to the girls' games. Several of our number are also talented musi- cians. Our outstanding agriculturist is J. W. Purcell. J. W. has won many trips about the country because of his accomplishments in that field. When we started our annual our eyes were opened to the fact that one of our number is an outstanding salesman, or rather saleswomaniltflargarete Ches- nut. Margarete has helped us out greatly in soliciting our ads. Just as we were getting settled down to Senior life Cupid swept down into our midst and hurried l 9 3 7

CHAMI-IIAN CLASS PROPHECY EAR THE END of a summer day in a large arm chair, I sit, somewhat weary, yet happy, after tucking so many motherless boys and girls into bed. I am still a Brown, but called 4'Aunt Loisv or 'glVIamma Lois by many little orphans. I see from my window the crescent moon and numbers of twinkling stars above me. As I sit and look, my thoughts carry me back to my happy school days at Chamblee. As I think of those class- mates, I fall asleep and as I sleep, I dream a dream. I am taking a trip to Los Angeles, California, to see a dear classmate of Chamblee, ROSE MARY SEALY, who returned home after graduation. Soon after I am seated I hear a familiar voice say, '4Tick- etslw and I at once glance up to see WILLIAM MALONEY, still a business man and fond of his ancestors. Who should come into the car, where I am now, but a lady handsomely dressed and carrying a bag. I at once recognize her to be STELLA KEY. She is a traveling Y. W. C. A. worker. As I enter the station, I walk toward a window over which is written 'glnformationf' I immedi- ately see a smiling classmate, JOYCE DRAKE. She is still serving others in her kind and friendly way. Here it is that I receive my information, concerning the other members of the class. MANNE BLACKWELL teaches domestic art in Chamblee High School, and is making a success of her work.
