CLASS HISTORY A S we come to the end of our High School career, our thoughts drift back over the four years spent in the China Grove High School. Not every day was rosy for there were many disappointments and obstacles which we had to overcome, but we feel that it was worth the struggle, to have reached the goal toward which we have worked during the past four years. Early in the fall of 1929, about seventy boys and girls from this county and others entered the China Grove High School. We were typical Freshmen, believing our¬ selves to be as important as anyone, but keeping our thoughts secret. After fiinshing a very successful Freshman year we were ready to begin our second year of high school work. Under the guidance of Miss Bernhardt and Miss Fleming, our class advisors, we began our Sophomore year. Voneile Bostian was chosen president of the class. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the weiner roast which we gave the Seniors. When we entered our Junior year, we felt important indeed. Miss Marshburn and Mr. Jones were our advisors and Bruce Sloop was our president. In October we sponsored a Hallowe’en carnival, the “spookiest’’ carnival you can imagine. The peak of our Junior year was the banquet which we gave in honor of the Seniors at the Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury. With the encouragement of Miss Neely and Mr. Brown and under the leadership of our Senior class president, Leonard Gillon, we have now completed our last year in China Grove High School. After weeks of concentrated work, we presented our class play, “Once in a Lifetime,” and were rewarded a few days later by being de¬ lightfully entertained by the Sophomores at a weiner roast. The Junior-Senior banquet, given at Hotel Concord, most effectively carried out the appropriate theme, “April Showers.” There were many times when the class could not agree, but when the invitation to a theatre party was extended by our mascots, Ruth Long and Charles Brown, it was unanimously accepted and the party was thoroughly enjoyed. That our class possesses unusual talent is evident from the number of honors won by members of our group at the State Music Contest, the State Stock Judging Contest, and our splendid representation on the athletic teams. So, here we stand, our faults confessed, our triumphs emphasized, and our eyes on the glory of graduation. We are glad that we have not caught up with our ideal, that we may climb higher because we can imagine heights beyond that which we have already attained. In the future, as in the past, may we be true to the ideals of China Grove High School and remember “Give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you.” —Kathryn Sloop.
