NEWS EVENTS OF THE CLASS OF ’33 It was in 1929 that this year's grad- uating class first began participating in the activities of Charlotte high school. For this first year they were led by: Almon Murray, president; Donald Sparks, vice president; Mar- guerite McGrath, secretary; and Billy Day. treasurer. Athalia Waddell and Almon Murray were elected as the representatives to the council for this first year in high school. The second lap of the four years’ Journey was begun after a short vaca- tion and as most of the greenness had been worn ofT by the rather severe experiences of their freshman year, the class began to enjoy more and more the good times in old C. H. S. This year Charles Garvey was chief executive, assisted by Marguerite Chevalier; Beryl Bryan wielded the pencil, and Martha Ransom held the purse. The aldermen were William Cox and Marguerite Williams. Knowing that their junior year was to be even more exacting then either of the previous years the class of '33 returned prepared for a real battle. The junior class officers were: Presi- dent. Dorothy Smith; vice president. Ruth Stringham; secretary. Donald Collins: and treasurer. Clifton Kelley. The class was represented in the student council by Hubert Stevens and lal Keefer. This third year proved to be very strenuous and full of activity. The first event of note was the Junior play, Oh! Kay! The class was called upon by tra- dition to put on a banquet in honor of the graduating seniors. Then later they had to decorate for both bacca- laureate and class night. However, as this was the last token of esteem which could be paid the class of '33. It was not regretted. This last year in school has proven to be one of work and pleasure and triumph. The leaders are Roger Wil- cox. president: Marguerite Chevalier, vice president; Esther Jacobs, secre- tary; and Clifton Kelley, treasurer. Aldermen are Duane Tuckey and Myrtle Day. Commencement marks the end of a bng and never to In forgotten Jour- ney but it is hoped that it will prove hut the beginning of a more eventful career for all.

President’s Message For a moment, the class of 1933 pauses to review the past four years of work. fun. and friendships, regret- fully realizing that they are about to close. We have completed our high school course always trying to do our best. May our life’s work be faced with the same high purpose: as we have enjoyed school, so may we enjoy life. Many friendships have been formed which have been a constant source of inspiration. After graduation, may those friendships continue with re- newed influence. On behalf of the class of '33. I wish to thank each member of the faculty who has hail a part in guiding and bringing to a successful close the activities of this class. Only the ! future can prove the worth of their atience and helpfulness. The whole class joins in wishing , those who follow, a record of abund- ant achievement. Roger Wilcox. President of Class of '33. Pugc 3
