iC77i( A RIftOT CLASS POEM We hold our standards high as forward we tread And try to lead ourselves and others gallantly ahead; We’ll face our future bravely, for experiences we have shared Have helped us wondrously to “Be Prepared”. We can’t forget our motto, nor the golden rule Which we have been taught all the way through school; As we now leave this place we love and adore, We hope that success finally will come to each one’s door. To teachers, friends, our school, farewell! How proud we are of you we ne’er can tell; Our school we shall continue to praise And boost and cherish all our days. —Oline Sloop

' A $ $OT CLASS HISTORY To the average reader, no doubt the year ’32 is not an outstanding date, but to the senior class of ’36 it is indeed important for in the early fall of ’32 we began our high school career. Our class advisors were Miss Breeden, Miss Fleming and Mr. Warlick. Our class president was C. D. Barringer. Although many pranks were pulled we did not stay dumb very long. Our enrollment was nearly 100. The summer months following our first year in high school were unusually long, for we were anxious to return to school and begin the second year of our journey. This was a year of much joy and happiness to us. We chose again as our class president C. D. Barringer. Our advisors were Miss Bernhardt and Miss Mackie. During the latter part of that year we were hosts to the seniors at a theatre party, the feature being “Little Women”. Our junior year passed very rapidly. The nickname “jolly juniors” indeed fitted us. We worked hard and long for this was a year of importance. The halloween carnival which was sponsored by the junior class was a huge success. Our class president was Herman Cauble and our advisors were Miss Gayman and Miss Barrow. The junior-senior banquet was an event that we can never forget. We had much fun planning for this banquet, and the seniors as¬ sured us of its success. This year, our last year of a long but enjoyable journey has seemed maybe a bit long ' . We have had our ups and downs and have overcome many obstacles but we have worked to¬ gether toward our goal. Our capable president for this year was Herman Cauble. Our effici¬ ent advisors were Miss Neely and Miss Fleming. Another enjoyable event of the year was an evening spent in fun and frolic with our mas¬ cots as host and hostess. Games were played and contests were held. Later during the even¬ ing refreshments were served. The sophomore class took us to the theatre to see “Captain January” . This was a pleas¬ ure to each of us. One of the high lights of our senior year was the junior-senior banquet held at the Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury, N. C. The theme for the evening was “Pleasure Island”. The decorations were very appropiate. Delightful music was enjoyed throughout the evening. The entire pro¬ gram was linked with the theme. Our trip to Pleasure Island was enjoyed immensely. We feel that in this class of ’36 we have many valuable members who in the future years will be of much service to the world. Our journey is not completed. These four years have only been an opening to us of the knowledge to be gained as we go forward into the march of life. We are glad for these years in high school they have taught us many lessons, we have had some experiences which we will never forget and as the day for closing the door on our four year journey, and the open¬ ing up the door of the future approaches, we perhaps are a bit sad but with the knowledge we have attained in high school we feel that by using our class motto, “Be prepared”, we can overcome all obstacles that come before us. —Alyce Clawson 19
