The Indian Echo '44 CH APPER III September, 1941-we were juniors. It was hard to believe, but it was true. During the summer, four of our noble boys heard the call of Uncle Sam and went to join his ranks. NVe are proud to know that these boys represent our class in the service of our country. Several more deserted us, and there were forty left to resume classes. This year Mrs. Claude Burgess was the homeroom teacher of the boys and Mrs. Frances Benson, leader of the girls. Our class oflicers were: president, jimmy Wfilsong vice-president, Nancy Ridenhourq S6CI'CtL1I'y, Imogene Isley, treasurer, Margaret Kirk. After Christmas Mrs. Burgess had to leave us, and Mrs. D. I-I. Dulin took her place. After two months, Mr. Edward Johnson came and was given the responsibility of the junior boys. On April second, we presented a play, Just Like Cinderella. Then the outstanding social event of our high school days-the .junior- Senior Banquet on April eighteenth. For patriotic reasons, we had the banquet on the stage of the auditorium. CHAPTER IV At last we are Seniors-thirty-four members who have crossed the obstacles of high school life and are preparing for graduation. During the past two years we have learned that instead of knowing every- thing, we have everything to learnl Led by Mr. G. R. Madison, our new and eihcient principal, Miss Marjorie Moseley as teacher, Nvilliam Gales, presidentg Imogene Isley, vice-presidentg Geneva McClannon, secretary: and Frank Foster, treasurer, we have participated in all Senior activities. Now, as we are about to embark on the great highway of life, we are taking with us the possessions rightly gained and that we deem priceless-the joyous memory of our four years spent in Cooleemee I-Iigh School.

Never- theless, the events leading to the golden day of graduation have been colorful and varied. Studies, social events, teachers, and classmates-all are worthy of record. These chapters will be most interesting to those who are concerned. Cur history is here preserved that those beyond these walls may know our lives and that years may not dim our memories. CHAPTLR I In the fall of nineteen hundred and forty, we entered high school- sixty-four bewildered freshmen. Even though we were a bit green', at first, we soon became accustomed to the high school routine with Mr. George E. Smith, Principalg Mrs. Annie G. Bost, the homeroom teacher of the boys and Miss Sue Munday, that of the girls. Because of our many new experiences, this year sped by and soon it was vacation time again. CHAPTER II XY'e re-assembled in the fall of 'forty-one and began work as sopho- mores. XY'e were no longer green and we felt that we knew all there was to know. Several of our number had found softer jobs during the summer, and there were only fifty-four left. Miss Reva Painter was the homeroom teacher of the girls and Mrs. liost was again that of the boys. Our school days were darkened after Pearl Harbor, but soon we awak- ened and set to work harder than ever. Cooleemee High School
