PRESIDENT'S ME AGE As president of the eighth grade. I wish to express my appreciation to the teachers and supervisors, for their help and co-operation during our lirst year in high school. Our class aim during the past year was courtesy and though we may not have reached the highest point, we have tried. When we signed up our schedule for the coming year, we were greatly ex- cited because this was our first exper- ience in planning our future. We are looking forward to our freshmen year with a great deal of interest. We feel that our beautiful new school building will add a great deal of pleasure to our school life and its wonderful equip- ment will help much in our next four years of high school work. We feel that we are fortunate in being students of the Charlotte high school. PHYLLIS THORNTON. President of Class of ’42. (Jp the ladder Doers of Good Deeds Because the eighth grade has been included In the high school the eighth graders cannot be looked down upon as the lowest form of humanity . They have, the same as anybody else, a goal toward which they are striving and making rapid progress through the advisership of Mrs. Marie Taylor and Mrs. Frances Wildern. Phyllis Thornton was favored by the class to act as president, while Patty Beechler. Wayne Terwllliger, and Bruce Garlinghouse had the responsi- bility of being vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. From home rooms 251. 102 and 252 came Doris Mason. Patty Beechler. and Betty Weaver, who represented as a group, the eighth grade class at stu- dent council meetings. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Taylor's home room (252) started a health campaign. Several of the stu- dents interviewed doctors on the sub- ject and then gave talks before the rest of the students and any of the par- ents who were willing to come and listen. The collecting of class dues is a problem that is found in all classes. The eighth grade solved the difficulty by holding a dues paying contest. A furor was caused and there was a scramble to win the contest. The eight A group came out on top. Patty Beechler was chairman of a junior high assembly on January 17. The whole class turned out to a get- acquainted party which was given for the seventh, eighth, and ninth graders at the beginning of the year. Second place was awarded them in the Thanks- giving drive this year. In the election for queen of the jour- nalism carnival Barbara Rowley re- ceived the most votes and thus served as one of Phyllis Archer’s courtiers. President Thornton stated at Christ- mas time the class of '43 wishes to be the most courteous class In high school. Fine talent was shown when the eighth grade girls tied wih the juniors for fourth place in the basketball finals. Sponsoring the fourth mixer of the school year was the job of the Junior dramatics club. Near Christmas time the eighth graders found a way to make some poor children happy, and they took ad- vantage of their opportunities. Under the supervision of Mrs. Marie Taylor the grade decided to gather together all of their battered and broken toys and remodel them into toys that other children could play with. For several weeks before Christmas the students busily working to fix the broken toys so that they would make some poor child happy Christmas morn. The boys fixed the mechanical toys so that they were again in good work- ing condition. The girls brought their dolls that they no longer played with and made new clothes for them. Af- ter the toys were all in good condition and the dolls had new wardrobes, a committee was chosen and the things were all taken to the Salvation Army from there they were distributed to the poor children. r Class Personalities Best dancer....

We have a peppy crowd, and with our enthusiastic class advisers. Miss Sue Glllam and Jacob Van Ves- arm. we enjoy our meetings very much. Many of our boys and girls are active in sports and music, and are attempt- ing to become as accomplished as those who are ahead of us. This year's freshmen class has tried to do Its best to be a helpful group of students. We realize without the friendly counsel of the upper classmen we could never attain the high goal we hope to accomplish. Therefore in the future we are going to try to co-operate with all students and teachers in order to be a successful class.
