There is the saying, 1t's great to he a it's a still happier privilege to be a Senior. Yes, we have felt our importance as members of but we gaze wistfully back over our happy, carefree school days and wish that time hadnlt We began our Journey in lligher Education as the Freshmen of 1934. Often we were a little chagrined at being teased as MFreshies, but we stood our ground, knowing that before long we would have our chance to do some teasing. With plenty of studying and worrying over Algebra, Latin. and Science we soon found ourselves reaching our first goal post and proudly acclaimed as Sophomores. At last we experienced a new thrill of importance. Our Sophomore year found most of us more earnest and determined to hold fast and make the grade. lt was during this year that the new auditorium and basketball court was finished. We thrill at the happy memories of Chamblee's basketball triumphs. A few of our classmates found the grade too steep, and sorrowfully we watched them depart. ln September, 1935, our Junior caravan increased, as a large bus load of new young people came from Brook- haven. These new classmates, together with the others from Chamblee, Doraville, and Dunwoody filled the halls of dear Ole Chambleef' as they hurried merrily to classes. Our school grips were filled with mystery books of French and Geometry, calling for many hours of tedious study. But with a grin, we jumped right in and tackled these sub- jects antl won. Many of our classmates chose the commercial course and pored over column after column of book- keeping, and transcribing shorthand, to say nothing of endless hours of typing. Sad to say, some of our classmates dropped by the way. Although the rest of us found the way hard, we had set our goal on becoming Seniors. and Seniors we would be. Our Senior year has found fifty-four of us following our class motto, Upward, still upward, Weill climb, as we carry our banner of Red and Wlhite to claim our Reward as Graduates. Many of our classmates have been out- standing in their fields of endeavor. We have had our part in the basketball activities, which have contributed to the fame lof Chambleeis success, The outstanding girls are Catherine Wallace, Elsa Newton, and Bertha Frances Eidson. The boys who exhibited their skill are i'Pete Webb. George Ivey, and Morris Pierce. Our 'most talented musicians are Ludie McElroy, Patricia Head, and Mildred Lee, and Betty Swink's art will be found in our annual. The leading F. F. A. boys are Wlalter Henderson and Joe Dempsey, who have done remarkable work in this line. Our most convincing debaters are Patricia llead, John McElroy, and Robert Willis. We are happy that one of our class, Marion McCoy, Lieutenant of the Schoolis Safety Patrol, won a trip sponsored by the A. A. A. Club to Washington, D. C. Last, but not least, we should mention our honor roll students who have worked diligently and faithfully to keep high the banner of excellence. These are Louise McBrayer. Harry Ray, Patricia Head. .loe Demp- sey, Dorothy Tallant, Catherine Wallace, Katherine Blackburn, John McElroy, Mary Frances Long, Nellie Green, Ludie McElroy, Robert Willis, Elsa Newton, Mildred Lee, Ruth Moore, Blonnie Purccll, and Marion McCoy. Only once this Senior year has Dan Cupid succeeded in leading one of our girls to catch the Honeymoon Ex- press. We miss this dark-haired little maid from our class circle. but we wish her much happiness. However, it is rumored that several of our girls are waiting only for the ink to dry on their diplomas before Cupid strikes again. Vie hate to think that too soon welll be leaving our beloved Chamblee High. Although we travel near or far, we will always think of the happy associations dear faculty, for your untiring cooperation. your of our high school days. We want to thank you, Mr. Smith and gentle patience, and kind understanding in bringing us safely through. Our hearts are sad as we think of parting. Our High School journey is complete. Our goal of graduation is reached, but we will ever bc true to our motto. Hllpward, still upward. we'll climb. , Iqdb i ' HARRY A. RAY, JR., Class Historian. 7' ' L33 '17 Rita'--N1 L i
