LONGAKER . , '19 f g? l A manna l fPIO' 612a ?rina'pafs GWJress Members of the Class of 1948, an enviable pleasure is mine in extending greetings to you on your graduation day. You and those near and dear to you are to be highly commended for having brought this day forward. Your high school career is ended at a time characterized by widespread and grave uncertainty-those that declare war and draft treaties reflect a serious inability to resolve problems upon Which the principles of peace may be established. While the peoples of the world are yet prostrate from the effects of the second World War, the rumor is rampart as to Where and When the third world conflict will begin. No effort is made here to alarm, rather to awaken your conscious to such potent realities as are presently operating in the social order however, be not dismayed by the nature of the times. The solution of problems and the surmountinq of difficulties have always been the way of progress. The mechanics of physical progress have already reached the point which make possible an undreamed of era of happiness; but alas, we have advanced so little in the art of social living. What then is the answer? Human nature changes very slowly. It is then your task and mine to find such social inventions as will make a better life possible. The vitality and strength of this democracy are dependent upon the thoughts and actions of its youth. Your paths will vary in your efforts to find your place in the world. Some will go to college to further study while others will remain or seek their liveli- hood in some other community. Whatever your goals may be, remember that your success will be very largely a by-product of your own efforts. Ana- lyze yourselves that you may discover your strengths and weaknesses and thereby enhance your possibility for success. What final message is there then for me to give you at this time? We have made an effort here at Huntington to develop your thought life, to stimulate your ambition and self confidence, to assist you in the selection of some worthy vocation, and to establish within you socially acceptable ideals and patterns of conduct. Be not overly concerned about leaving high school, but find glory in the exploration of new fields of endeavor. Your success is adequate compensation for whatever efforts we have ex- pended in your preparation. The commencement is really the beginning. It is like the prelude to a great symphony. I bid you go forth to eliminate the discordant that you may find the finer melodies of life. We extend to you our most sincere good wishes. May your acceptance of increased responsibilities be crowned by the benediction of the Great Teacher. W. D. SCALES OUZ FIIIWIFAI. WE IMLfI OHM 174115 F 1.8. Lff L . PA 1?ka ME BZOWN WK WSIf 7611?

For instance, we can never forget the warm September morning in 1944 that approximately 100 youngsters from the elementary schools assembled in the gymnasium. We came, with fresh hopes and ambitions, eager to explore this new land of learning and opportunity. We found here an atmosphere of comradeship, fair play, goodwill and democratic participation which at first seemed strange but which we have come to know as the spirit of H. H. Se the spirit on which our school world turns. We were divided into three groups and placed in the homerooms of Mr. I. I. Ballou, Mr. N. C. Pleasant and Mrs. E. M. Greene. Under their competent guidance we were not long in becoming orientated to our new surroundings and in settling down to some serious study. In study and hard work the first year passed. It was now our sophomore year and we be- gan to feel more at home. Many of our class- mates joined the various organizations. Julia Boone, Alqie Pitchford, Mary Blount, lean Smith, Lottie Ford and Mary Iones joined the choir. Preston Price, Marion Allen and Bernard Nich- ols, who had been takinq instrumental music were selected for the first Band. Our boys partic'pated in all the sports. On the track team were Preston Price, Alphonso Davis, Herbert Melvini and Charles Dillard. Gurney Iones, Roger Watson, Andrew Short, Charles Ricks, and David Elam starred on the hardwood court. Our crowded schedule of activities and studies caused this second year to fairly fly and we were happy to be called Juniors. This year we really get into the swing of things. Most of the class engaged in several activities. In the choir were Elizabeth Alexander, Carrie Greenlee, Corrine Bonds, Mary Haskins, Doro- thy Askew, Lillian Cottrell, Ruth Parker, Gladys Wallace, Mary Hayes! Patricia Hayes, Gwen- dolyn Elam, Delores Christopher, Orcilla Ste- wart, Zenobia Williams, Ophelia Outlaw, Mar- tha Jones, William Rollins, Alphonso Davis, Herman Williams, and Barbara Ricks. In the Band were Naomi McQueen, Helen Lassiter, Algie Pitchfordl Iean Scott, Daniel Bailey, Harvey Braxton, Beniamin Dale, Wil- bert Green, Iames Prince, Eldridge Tabb, Law- rence Wallace, Ellis Wakefield, Thornton White, James Christopher, Lizzie Bell, and Virginia Pickett. Band Major was Thornton White, and Major- ettes were Marion Hall, Lillian Lane, Alice Carter and losie Eason. In the field of sports in addition to those T 28. named above were Clinton Golden, Clarence Threatt, Christopher Bailey, and Willie Kelly. Soon we organized our class selecting the following: President ....................................... Algie Pitchford Vice President .......................... lack Frances Secretary ............................................ Lottie Ford Assistant Secretary .............. Starnell Sparaqon Treasurer .................................... Charles Dillard The prom we gave the seniors was an affair of beauty and enjoyment. Music was furnished by Dewitt Cooke's orcnestra. At last the time came when we were Seniors. We elected for officers: President ................................................ Bobby Hill Vice President ................................ Preston Price Secretary ............................ Elizabeth Alexander Asst. Secretary ............................ Sallie DeBerry Treasurer .................................... Dorothy Askew The main issue of the senior class meeting was the annual. Our rings were chosen by the Ring Committee. Most of us were so excited that we could talk of nothing but our graduation. During the first of the senior year we gave socials to raise money for the various expenses. Many of the veterans had returned to school and were now graduating in our class; among them were Ierome McIntre, George Grady, Rob- ert Vinson, Linwood Rainey, Ashby Warren. These seniors were active during the school year and added much to the Choir, Football, Track Teams and Student Council. Vinson made one of the best presidents the Council has ever had. During this last year Robert Hunter, Harvey Green and Clinton Golden joined their fellow squad members on the gridiron. Our basketball players remained the, same as did our track team. Closer and closer came the day when we were to march down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance. Our joy was tinged with sad- ness. We were happy that we had climbed this far on the educational ladder but sad that all too soon we were to leave. We shall always be grateful to our parents for providing us with the opportunity to receive a high school education and to our teachers for the sympathetic understanding and patience they have shown us throughout our four years at Huntington. We believe that the experience gained and the leadership developed here will be of de- cided advantage in the years to come. u U n S S E r. C 29 T w r: x'-- A ee- ti Glass QM!

CHI-SOX SCORES UPSET FAVORED YANKS In a hard played game the Chicago White Sox upset the New York Yankees yesterday by a score of 7 to 3 behind the surprisingly good pitching of Rookie southpaw, Andrew Short.

GRID YANKS PICKED TO REPEAT AS CHAMPS The New York Yankees, National Professional football Champs, of last year have been picked by the experts to repeat their former success.
