We finished the term. And alas! Much bewailing was heard in the land of Sopho- mores even though nearly four-fifths of us passed. C11AP'rr:R III Now we were Juniors. We looked backward and saw two years of work pastg we looked forward and saw two years of work to come. Only, of course, we expected more pleasure in the future, for we would be allowed more choice in selecting our studies than in the past. As soon as the class gathered, we selected and ordered our rings. Almost before we expected them-certainly before we had saved enough money, they arrived. The next ten days were full of waiting, collecting, and threatening the slower members of the class. But how proud of them we were when we did get them! They were the most beautiful ever owned by a class in this school. Everyone, even the Seniors admitted it. Soon after, the class received an unexpected though pleasant surprise. The Seniors, having considered us such an intelligent and fine-looking class, decided to have our pictures published in the annual. Early in the month of May, in face of certain pointed suggestions and remarks on the part of some of the Seniors, we called a class meeting to determine the style of enter- tainment to be offered to them. On only one thing could the class agree. We must do something original this year. However, we found that everything original cost a great deal of money. Several days later we debated again, and decided to take them on a picnic to Sparrow's. Though the water was frigid, some went in for a short time. Afterwards we roasted weiners. When everyone had eaten till he could eat no more, we got into cars and went to Pittsboro to see a show. Again our class was represented in all the athletic branches. The captain of the football team came from our own ranks. At the close of the year we found that very few of us had fallen behind. Indeed we congratulated ourselves again when we discovered that one of our members had made an A under Miss Penny, and that most of us had passed Math III. All of us agree that we owe this last pleasure to Mr. Munch's unfailing willingness to help us when we struck a rough spot. CHAPTER IV At last we were Seniors, and only nine more months before our graduation! Realiz- ing what a short time remained to us, we quickly settled down, chose officers, a H11.1.1ri-: staff, a sponsor, and all the other things necessary to a well organized class. As the time flies by, we realize that June will soon be here, that commencement will soon be upon us, and that we will be leaving the school, as pupils, for the last time. We hope that we will be better for the things we have learned and the friendships we have made within its walls. 1 Fimxclcs WII1'l'lC. lH'lSf0I'lf1.7L. Seventeen

Class History of 731 CHAPTER I 0X an early day in September 1927, forty-six little Freshmen gathered out in front of the school. trying to look a little bigger than we were, in hope that we might be taken for Juniors or at least Sophomores. Not that we thought it an honor to be Sophomores. We just wanted to be considered of some importance in the high school, and we had been told many times that Freshies did not count. However, after we had been in school for a short time, we found that we did count. As most of the upperclassmen and teachers were watching closely to see what kind of a group the new class was going to make, we attracted as much attention as any class except perhaps, the Seniors. The news of the boiler's bursting was received nowhere with greater joy than in Room 11, the home of the Freshmen. This extension of the Christmas holidays was really a great joy after four months work. Considering that we were Freshmen, we took an unusually large part in the school athfetics. Four of our boys were on the football squad, two on the varsity, and two girls on the regular basketball team. Besides all this, much to everyone's surprise, our girls won the inter-class basketball championship. At last when exams were over tsome of us having done well, and some not so well P, our teachers breathed a sigh of relief and turned us out of school. CHAPTER. II The following fall we came hack to school full of pep and feeling that we were it, tl fear we tried to make the freshmen feel that we were also.l We were an enormous class-so enormous that it took three rooms to hold us. Early in the term a class meeting was called for the purpose of selecting oilicers, colors, motto, and flowers. After much debating, more energetic than dignified, blue and gold became our colors, Where there's a will there's a way, our motto, and daisies our ilower. When the first excitement of settling down and of teaching the Freshmen proper respect for the dignity of the mighty Sophs had died down, a gigantic war broke out around us. Strangely enough, it was the Junior class that started the trouble. One sad day some of its outstanding members erected a purple and gold banner on the flag-pole. Naturally the Seniors resented this. Up the pole they swarmed. In a trice bits of that gorgeous banner were fluttering in the breeze. With patience and perseverance, worthy of a better result, the offending party raised another flag so high on the pole that it couldn't be reached. At last they were triumphant! However, in their joy they made the mistake of overlooking the Sophomores. The very next day one of our members came to school with a gun. At the first shot the banner came down! Realizing what an ingenious crowd they had to deal with, the Juniors gave up the fight, wisely ac- cepting the defeat. During this second 'year the class made the rest of the school sit up and take notice. With representatives on the football team and basketball teams, with a num- Sixteen
