Among these were the memlmers of the elass of '29, Some were shy, some eager, hut all looked forward to starting high sehool as something new- something whieh they had never before experieneed. lve were soon organized as a elass with Evelyn Page, president. fllass song and eolors-red and white!were ehosen. -Ks room-teaelier we had Mrs. Olsen. XVllf'll she was asked to give her opinion of us as Freshmen, this is what she said: 'tFor two reasons .Ii wonlt say that the elass of '29 is made up of the best little boys :ind girls l ever saw, first, beeause they would he sadly disappointed, sinee the height of their ambition is to he eonsidered otherwise, and seeond, beeause it wouldn't he strietly true. However, that is readily forgiven, as their pep, origi- nality, lnnnor, and fine intelligenee make them invariahly interesting and stimulat- ing. iHt1l'f'lS to them! My best wishes for happiness and sueeessf, Almost liefore we had grown aeeustomed to high sehool a new dignity was thrust upon us. Vlle were Sophomoresl Amelia Gooeh was elass president. Most of us, perhaps, found this year slower and harder to pass, in two senses of the word, hut finally it drew to a elose. VVith a great deal of elation we realized that half of our high sehool eareer was overl Mr. Muneh, who was our home- room teaeher that year says of us, The elass of '29 is a splendid group of young people, as fine as I have ever niet. il shall not forget my Hrst year in Chapel Hill Sc-hool when it fell to my lot to he your home-room teaeher. You were both eharitalile and kind toward me, a stranger in your midst. .Xnother evidenee of a fine spirit of l'l1l'lSflilll sympathy and love was given when one of your numher was taken from us hy death. The spirit of good fellowship which existed in the elass at all times and the spirit of eooperation and mutual respeet marks this elass as unusual. These are some of the things that are worth while and have left upon me a lasting impression. The elass is eourteous, kind, and respeetful to a high degree. l never worked with a finer group of hoys and girls in twenty-five years ot' sehool work. Judging lay their alrility, li should expeet some of them to aehieve greatness and perhaps some may have greatness thrust upon them. ,lust what this greatness will he my horoseope fails to reveal. ln our junior year we had lVayne Starnes as elass president. Miss Vllhitley, our room-teaeher that year in speaking of the elass says, The motto of this r-lass seems to he, 'lnJon't worry. Everything will turn out all right in the end.' As home-room teaeher of this group in their junior year, I notieed an unusual amount of elass spirit and loyalty. 'llhroughout the entire year this elass showed the fine eharaeteristies of eooperation and marked husiness alrility. Here's wishing the elass of 1929 mueh sueeessf' Twenty-fou r

We all like Vivian because she is always in a good humor. She went to Hamlet High School for two years and Ha1nlet's gain was our loss. From what we hear, however, she is still quite devoted to her Hamlet We hope she won't find life as troublesome and tiresome as Chemistry is to her, but as fascinating and full of fun as Math. Christine Wells and Hoyle Beam joined us too late in the year to be included in the Annual, but they are hereby declared members in good standing of the class of '29 Twenty-three

1-in Amid a great deal of discussion and many turbulent class meetings our rings were ordered and reeeived. The c-lass threatened to return to the worship of iron iigures in December when the boiler burst and lengthened our Christmas vaeation. Our elass established the precedent in Chapel Hill High Sehool of the Juniors entertaining the Seniors in some way. As ours was the first entertainment it was neeessarily very modest. ln spite of the changeable weather on May 25, we, the Junior and Senior classes, journeyed to Sparrow's Swimming l'ool about four- thirty in the afternoon. The sun, possibly realizing the importanee of the oe- easion, eame out and lent his presenee to the festivities. Swimming was enjoyed by most of the members of the party. About six o'eloek we all went down to the bridge where we had supper. After eating, speeehes-dry, witty, dumb, and other- wisegwere made by various teaehers and students. All who eould sang songs. As the appropriate ending to a perfeet day we were guests 'of the Varolina Theatre at the nine o'eloek show. September 1928, saw the beginning of our final high sehool year. Tom VValker was elass president. Miss Penny, who was our home-room teacher, when asked to say something about the elass responded with this, HProbleni: Explain the funeral-like ealm on the seeond floor the day the Seniors went to the Legislature. We were, perhaps, the most undignified group of Seniors that ever graeed the room. At the beginning of the year we had quite an argument with the Juniors, who sueeeeded in raising a very unsuitable emblem on the flag-pole. As usual the elass of '29 emerged vietorious, so to speak, when several of the boys removed this disgraeeful objeet after a great deal of excitement and endeavor. Christmas holidays were lengthened by the epidemie of iniiuenza. After mid- terms had been passed for flunked, as the ease might bel the Senior Vlass eele- brated by going to Raleigh to observe the Legislature and inspeet the Penitentiary and Dix Hill. Near the end of the year several mothers of the elass entertained us at parties. Hilarious times were had at all of them. As eommeneement drew near we were thrust into a whirlpool of aetivity-- parties, exams, and the elass play. Finally, all, who had sueeeeded in passing Mr. King's History IV stepped up and were handed the reward of four years atiha rd labor-our diplomas. N! ? Twenty-five
