THE MIRROR, 1922 Shirley Williams President Freshman Class History m N the fall of 1914 our class began its long tedious journey. Many were lost by the wayside, but we still can boast of having eleven of the originl members. They are Louise Fitz, Bernice Wilmouth, Willie Weston, Edna Ward, Gladys McKinney, Elizabeth Wood, Virginia Bowers, Haskins Eubank, Virginius New, Aubrie Ward and Bailey Wilson. Marguerite Smith was our only addition in the second grade. Terry Lee Roberts, Evelyn Atkinson, Mildred Melsheimer, Lucy Hershman, William Finch and Charles Emory joined us in the third grade. In the fourth grade our new members were Shirley Williams and Lucile Wildman. At the beginning of our fifth year Rachel Lawson, Gene Staples, Waddie Jackson and Delmas Owen attached themselves to our band. Annie Bevil was our next entree. Margaret Brame, Lucile Carter, Ardell Willis, Ruth Orr, Maynard Beales, Claude and Garland Owen and Byron Rockwell joined our happy throng in the seventh grade. In September, 1921, we began our freshman year, in which we were joined by Alice Williams, Madeline Downey, Catherine Spencer, William Boswell, Hunter Crenshaw and William Chandler. While the mysteries of Algebra present themselves and we are charmed by Latin and amazed at the wonders of science, we are realizing our position as Freshmen. As the doors of history are closing on the past, we are looking forward to the future with high expectations. Mildred Melsheimer, Historian . Page thirly
