H11,1.ilfifi wily Senior History Chapel Hill High School Chapel Hill, N. C. May 25, 1937 Dear Janet, IV1y same old excuse, ffwould have written but just haven't had time, must be used again, but now that I am writing, I want to tell you something about life in C. H. H. S. It hasn't been at all as we used to picture it-going to parties or shows every night, then getting to school the next morning just in time for recess, altho' I'll admit we have been tardy enough to keep Mac informed about the bad health of our alarm clock. Although proud to be high school students, we were rather disappointed when we were directed to the old school building rather than the new one. It was hard to smile when the upper classmen called us f'I reshies. The other day I met Mr. Giduz on the top step after climbing two flights of stairs. Much to my dismay he told me to go back down. In answer to my questioning look, he informed me that these steps were used for going down, the flight at the end of the building for going up. As soon as I got out of his sight, I ran down the hall and started up the right stairs. As I entered the door for English, I was met by lvliss Penny's freezing glare and Did you not hear the tardy bell? To add to the confusion, we were transferred to our new building before we had even learned where our classes were in the old one, thus having more than our share of Freshman headaches. Billy Thompson has been elected President of our class. Besides this serious business of concentrating on studies, we have been well represented in the Hi-Y, the 4-H Club, and on the Proconian staff, as well as in sports. june will soon be here and with it exams. If I survive I'll write you but now I have to memorize some more of Julius Caesar. Much love ELLEN SMITH 7 . P 7 June 4, 1938 Dear Janet, This year we were greeted by our new Superintendent, Mr. Honeycutt.

If she's in a good mood you know it, because she can be the happiest person around. The basketball team wouldn't have been complete' without her, especially when playing Hillsboro. That team always did make her mad. 4 FRED WRIGHT spot-43, 133,533.13 43, 41, Dramatics 443, 4-H Club 433.

Illl.I,II-'li---1941i Senior History-Contzhued For many of us Dr. Gwynn has become our new instructor in Latin II. Yankee Mr. House tried to teach us the hidden truths about the area of a parallelogram, which few of us could comprehend. Although we haven't had Miss Penny this year, everyone agrees that Mr. Leggette and As You Like It have been equally as hard. The Class of '40 has contributed immensely to the extra curricular acti- vities of the school. Our glee club, under the leadership of Mr. Templeton, made a good showing at the Music Contest in Greensboro. The Hi-Y's have done outstanding work this year, under the leadership of Carol Cobb, Presi- dent of the Junior Girls' Hi-Y, and Billy Thompson, President of the Junior Boys' Hi-Y. Mrs. Jensen initiated a new kind of entertainment this year in the form of school parties. The entire school was invited to these socials which proved quite a success. June has finally come and with it a faint hope that we may soon be juniors. Someone told me that next year will be the most eventful in our high school career. If anything really interesting happens, Pll write and tell you about it, but for now Pll say good-by. A friend, ELLEN SMITH June 6, 1939 Dear Janet, On the opening day of school, Mr. Honeycutt introduced us to the new teachers. They were: Mrs. Maaske, instructor in music, Mr. Ruth, coach, Miss Moseley head of the new home-economics department, and Miss Ben- ton, teacher of commercial subjects. Many of us were confronted for the first time with French and Mr. Giduz. Miss Penny has come forward again to instruct us in Junior English. VVith Miss Benton's coaching, many of us have come to believe that it is possible to type on a typewriter that doesn't have any letters on it. We elected Melba Ray as President of the Junior Class. To Charles Gooch was largely accredited the success of the Junior-Senior dance. This climaxed several night clubs. All of the Student Council ofiices were filled by members of our rising Senior class. Marvin Hogan was elected President, Everette Cheek, Vice- President, Ruth Ellen Andrews, Treasurer, and Frank Blocksidge, Secre- tary. This year the boys' basketball team reached the semi-finals in the state con- , l fl? ij, M V Page Tu-gfzty-:ix mi I l 7. 5 pl , lull dw. -'b
