E 19 3 8 PAR SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “The moving finger writes and having writ moves on, nor all your piety or wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a line of it.’’ Just so we cannot erase one event in the history of the class of 1938. Nor would we if we could. In the fall of 1934, approximately eighty freshmen began their high school career. Then the goal seemed far away, and at times adjustment to new situations was not so easy. Every day brought us nearer, and before we knew it we were no longer in the lowest class. Under the direction of Miss Florence Mackie and Mr. C. B. Brown we had completed our freshman year before we realized it. Our class officers were: President, Joe Frene; Vice-President, Mary Austyne Wagner; Secretary, Mary Sue Kimball; Treasurer, Ray Correll. Our motto was, “Keep fresh with the freshman spirit.’’ The main event in our second year was a theater partv given in honor of the Seniors. We took them to see Shirley Temple in “Captain January.’’ Miss Cooper and Mr. C. B. Brown were our advisers. We chose as our class officers Kenneth Shinn, President; Joe Frene, Vice-President; Kathleen Castor. Secretary; Ray Correll, Treasurer. Our motto this year was, “Press Onward.” In our Junior year we sponsored the Hallowe ' en Carnival, which was a great success. Then we began the biggest event in our Junior year, preparing for the Junior-Senior banquet which was, “At the End of the Rainbow.” The Rainbow, our class color, was carried out in the color scheme. This vear, which seemed so far in the distance when we were freshmen, has at last rolled around. This year has been a very busy one, as well as a pleasurable one. We chose as our class officers this year: President, Grady Lowe; Wee-Pres¬ ident, Kenneth Shinn; Secretary, Kathleen Castor; Treasurer, Carl Davis. Our motto was again, “Press Onward.” Our efficient advisers were Miss Neely and Mr. Fox. We selected as our mascots, attractive little Barbara Ritchie and Joe Freeze. The highlights of our Senior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury, N. C. The evening was a unique and enjoyable one. The sophomore class took us to see “Damsel in Distress.’ This was a pleasure to each of us. The management of the Grove Theater courteously invited us to see, “ I hor- oughbreds Don’t Cry,” which was enjoyed by all. This being our Senior year, our high school career is completed. We hope that this does not mean our life’s career is completed. V e hope to reach ' higher things in life in our future. We being Seniors means our last year in school, also the last year in the present building. The erection of the new building will not drown the happy memories of the year spent in the old. Indeed, we are proud of our past history and we hoj e that the future holds as many good things in store for us as the past has.
