Oh! how we looked forward to greeting the incoming «Froshies.” This second year found us continu- ing the activities which we had begun in the first year. At last came the time when we were Juniors. For our leaders we chose: HOMER BROWN ---------------- President LUTHER TUCKER --------- Vice President DOROTHY WATKINS ---------- Secretary BERNARD JONES -------------- Treasurer Our social activities were climaxed by a ' prom for the seniors—our farewell to the ciass of 88. During our Junior year, we continued to hold ‚ the admiration of the faculty and the lower class- men, but we were still below the notice of the dignified and noteworthy seniors. In athletics, we could boast of Harold Parker, Daniel Everett, Douglas Watkins, Homer Brown, John Diggs, Пепту Wiggins, and Bernard Jones. This year also was marked by the induction of Andrew Southerland, Alphonso Alexander, Phil- ip Walker, Riddick Pree, Bernice Watkins, Flor- ence Bailey, Ruth Bouldin, Eugenia Boney, Susie Thaxton, and Mildred Birchette into the National Honor Society. Upon that. bright background of the third year, there is a touch of infinite somberness. On July 3, 1987, two of our number, Luther Tucker and George Gray were taken away. Thus the Great Painter drew a shadow over the beautiful canvas of our joyous school career. Seniors! Isn't it a wonderful and glorious word? АП it means We do not try to explain. One thing we know, We have come to the door which opens upon the vast world in which we are soon to be a most active group. We have chosen for our leaders: ANDREW SOUTHERLAND ----- President PHILIP WALKER---------- Vice-President MABEL IRISON ---------------- Secretary MILDRED BIR CHETTE, Assistant Secretary BERNICE WATKINS ------------ Reporter Soon we shall enter the world of adult respon- sibility to make our contributions to the solu- tion of the great problems of today. Our new duties will be met in the same spirit that has characterized all our activities in Huntington High School—a spirit of service, loyalty, and of earnest endeavor to learn. ”
