Howe TO THE CLASS OF 1940 Mv YOUNG FRIENDS: I have a feeling of mingled joy and sadness as | give you this parting message. I share with you the joy you feel in having reached the goal toward which you have striven since you entered school as little tots eleven years ago. I experience the twinge of sadness that always comes to me when the classes graduate year by year. This bit of sorrow is born of the knowledge that I shall miss the joyous daily companionship of so many of my best young friends. It deepens somewhat when I realize that you are leaving the sheltering walls of your high school to take upon yourselves Ше responsibili- ties of life in a wider sphere than you have heretofore known. A few of you will enter college to begin training for the careers of lead- ership and larger usefulness. Most of you, however, will enter immediately upon the duties and responsibilities of life in the world. And what a world it is today! Carnage and destructio n are raging in Europe and in Asia. Men, women, and children are perishing by the thou- sands in the awful holocaust of war. Ruthless dictators are leading their con- quering mechanized hordes through country after country, leaving death and desolation in their wake. And European civilization trembles on the brink of annihilation. Here at Huntington High School you have been steeped for four years in the principles of democracy. You have learned the value of cooperation. You have been taught to respect the rights of others. You know even in your young years that the personality of every individual, of whatever race or creed or color is sacred and inviolate. You know that these are the principles upon which our nation is established. You know, too, that these democratic ideals are the hope of the world. As you leave Huntington, hold fast to this faith which your stay here has built within you. Cling to the ideals of democratic living which your school has tried so hard to give you. By so doing, it may be that you and the thou- sands of other graduates of American high schools can save America for democracy, and civilization for the world. L. F.

Њ El 22 ШИН am al CLASS HISTORY Hear, уе a tale of delight and illusions: (Though we leave it to you to draw your own conclusions). 'Tis the Senior Class tell- ing of four years we spent. We began them quite heartily but ended them with backs bent. In September 1936, eighty-five exuberant greenhorns boarded the Huntington section of the Train of Knowledge for what was to us a mysterious journey to the state of High School Education. However, we were not the only new per- sons aboard for three new faculty members, Miss Spivey, Mr. Hines and Mr. Johnson climbed on board with us. Once safely in the coach we began to look around and we were surprised to find some eighty odd scholars who had already gotten a start on us by becoming Freshman B's. Once our train got under way we also found that the Virginia Curriculum had recently been in- augurated in the school and that we were going to be among the first educational quinea pigs. By February of '37 some of our greeness had worn off and we were able to sit with ease in our classes. By autumn, however, we were full-fledged sophomores and could now look with scorn upon the incoming Freshies. This same fall Mr. Stephen Howe and Mr. Mozart Frazer were added to the faculty. Now all freshmen and sophomores had to take gym and music. We donned our little blue gym suits and began to take our tumbles on the hardwood. The faculty de- cided we had wisdom enough to organize our class, so we selected the following of- ficers: Marie Lipscomb, president, and Don- ald Barnes, secretary. As we progressed in school we began to participate in the many school activities — Geneva Taylor, James Baylor, Johnnie Kel- ler, Richard Edwards, and Margaret Knight affiliated with the band. Susie Travis, Mar- garet Knight, Alberta Rooks, Helen Watson, Eva Copeland, Iris King, Martha Diggs, Georgia Atkins, Bertharine Spratley, and Mary Jordan joined the chorus. When we reached our junior year we were introduced to three new faculty members; Mr. R. L. Nelson, Mr. Charles H. Jones, and Mr. Montgomery W. King. We were now known as the know all juniors. Boy! Did we think we were something! John Snipes, Elbert Parker, Paul Holloman and Archie Williams were now playing football. Jessie Corbin was just the waterboy. Our class officers were: Elbert Parker, president; Alma Wiggins, vice president; Margaret Smith, secretary; and Alexander McAllister, treas- urer. We were now studying French and we used to show off our knowledge of the lan- guage by trying it out on the “Freshies.” In February 1939, we stopped our train long enough to take aboard Mr. Elmo Davis, teacher of English and Virginia Curriculum. With May came our Junior-Senior Prom, for which we had the Hawaiian scenery and gave leis as favors. The Prom was a huge success and everyone enjoyed himself. We prepared for our senior year by an- pointing a Senior Class Play Committee and advertising committee. During the summer we waited anxiously for the coming fail so that we could be back in school as seniors and prospective graduates. When we re- turned in the fall we elected Elbert Parker as our president, Robert Harris as vice- presi- dent, Susie Travis as secretary, Willie Bee Hil as assistant secretary, and Margaret Smith as treasurer. Two new faculty mem- bers in the person of Mr. J. W. Ivy and Mr. Frederick Lewis also climbed aboard. As we look back over our four years of travel in the Pullman Huntington, we che- rish fond memories and leave the coach with regret but with our eyes turned toward the future.
