(GES; History ‘WuetHer it was a warm, sunny day in Sep- tember or a cold, bright February morning, our coming to the “great” Huntington High School was climaxed with many bright smiles and high ambitions. The eighth grade classes from both Dunbar and Booker T. Washington schools were assembled into classes with Mrs. Cobb, Mr. McGhee, Miss Duncan, Mr. Miller, Miss Venable, and Mr. H. N. Johnson as our instructors. Al- though we were somewhat appalled at the thought of being initiated, we found here a feeling of mutual interest and good will among the mem- bers of the body. Although we were deprived of the privilege of being in too many organiza- tions, William Davis was successful in holding the office of assistant secretary. All of us will remember his unpredicted campaign speech. This, our eighth grade year, passed swiftly by with not too much action. In September of the next year we were fresh- men. Classes from Dunbar, Booker T. Wash- ington and Huntington were united in the gym- nasium and were given the following instructors: Mr. Rollins, Mr. Frazier, Mrs. Cobb, Mr. Miller, Miss Riley, and Mrs. Lucas. responsibilities, more activities, and increasingly difficult subjects. Those joining the Math Club were John Williams, Addie Abrams, George Crawley, Chester Whittaker, Lester Gordon, Lo- renzo Grant, and Theodore Palmer.

Many of our classmates joined the various organizations. William Davis was elected secre- tary of the Student Council. Joining the choir were Delma Robinson, Ralph Phillips, David Lawrence, Sylvia Jones and Gleason Glover. In the band were Edward Williams, Charles Scott, Calvin Hobson, Theodore Palmer, Cornelius Braxton, William Scott, Ernest Clary, and Alphon- so Bellamy. Juanita Lee and Sarah Jackson were our high stepping majorettes. On the cheering squad were Jenever Hill, Gladys Anderson, Ber- nice Carter, and Margaret McGhee. Our sports- men were Robert Jones and Harold Hundley, foot- ball; Calvin Hobson and Chester Whittaker, bas- ketball; Robert Dobbs and Harry Marrow, track. We gave a very successful Easter pageant this year with Miss Weaver as our directress. Our junior year was one of hard work and a busy schedule. We organized our class as follows:
