CLASS HISTORY I his, the graduating class of ’40, began its eventful climb to fame six years ago when they entered the seventh grade. Very little happened to them during the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades; but they really became famous in what they thought to be their junior year. That year a play was given entitled “Lena Rivers” and the proceeds were used to give the main event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Certainly, there is not a gayer occasion on record. When this spirited class resumed studies in the fall of 38, they were all ready to don their robes of dignity and become the proudest seniors in Tech; but fate took hold by adding another grade. The would-be seniors slid reluctantly into their second junior year but with their hopes still high for a successful senior year. At last the time arrived. In September of ’39, this faithful class did attain their goal when they assumed the rank of dignified seniors. Never in all history has there ever been a more wide-awake senior class. They fulfilled their one desire — the publication of an annual. Looking backward over the years, these seniors are proud of their success and challenge anyone to equal it; looking forward, we have no doubt but that we will reach the top of the ladder of success. To dear old Tech High we leave our love and thanks for making all our hopes and dreams come true. Willie Suddreth. Historian . Pag 2 T welve
