The CHARHIAN jumoRS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Wo. the class of 1910. draw the curtain on our third year in high school and genuinely regret that we only have one more year to spend there. We hope that our senior year will prove itself to he as fruitful and enjoyable as this year was. During our term as juniors we staged the Junior-Senior Prom, the Junior Play, the Christmas Mixer, and were fortunate enough to receive first prize in the annual Thanksgiving drive sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. We deeply appreciate the labor and the untiring efforts of our class ad- visers and whole-heartedly extend our thanks to Mrs. Alleen Combs. William Austin, and Kenneth Brown, who aided us greatly in making our junior year such a pleasant one. We also think the students of the junior class did an excellent job of selling tickets for the junior play and magazine subscriptions. To this year's graduating class who are departing from the high school this June, we wish you Oceans of Success in the field which you choose as your life's work. JIM SPA.VIOLO.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As sophomores we truly entered a new and important station, also we enjoyed more special privileges, we have come into closer contact with the teachers, having won a place in their hearts because we have proved ourselves quite possible. Our friend- ship with fellow students has cer- tainly been Interesting and permanent in many instances. To those who will be taking our places next year, we wish the best of luck, and would wish to say that it is an extreme pleasure to go under the significant sounding name of “Sophs”. As we pass into the junior ranks for the year 1939-1940. we will sin- cerely try to be as loyal and capable as the juniors of this year have been. We are determined to improve fur- ther our record by meeting the num- erous responsibilities of the third year as courageously and effectively as the present Juniors. We the class of 41”. happily bid farewell to our sophomore year in Charlotte high. Now we nre ready to assume a role In any of the next year's activities. CARROLL STRINGHAM.
