Tfze QJY6lI77ZZ.7'd! 0 1939 CLASS HISTORY El El N the year 1935 we walked into Cradock High School, proud that at last we could enter high school. That pride left us as we soon realized our position as lowly freshman. We had no class oflicers that year and we were under the joint supervision of Miss Wiley and Miss Codd. The year passed uneventfully and in June we at last became upper classmen. Returning in September we gloried in frowning on the lowly freshmen. Among the chief frowners were the president of our class, Rudy VVheatleyg the vice- President, Wlinfrey Arnold, and the secretary-treasurer, Charles Ferrell. Our sponsor was Miss VViley. VVe settled down to studying after a few clashes with the freshmen and before we knew it June was here. The third milestone had been reached and in September we decided that for our president we would like to have James Mills, for our vice-president Alfred Price, and for our treasurer Norma Harrell. Miss Byrd was our sponsor. The time slipped by until the great Junior-Senior held in May. It was a gala affair and the class was complimented on the success of the dance and on the excellent choice of an orchestra. Came June and with it the goal of everyone's ambition. VVe were seniors at last. In September we came to school for our last term in C. H. S. We chose for our ofiicers Gilbert Light as president, Buddy Jenson as vice-president, Audrey Kirkman as secretary, and Norma Harrell as treasurer. Miss Byrd was chosen sponsor and Miss Wiley co-sponsor. 'ln October We had our Supreme Court, which was a very delightful occasion. After a hard session of deciding what kinds of rings, invitations and calling cards we should have, we passed the period of mid-term exams and then started on an arduous session of picture-taking. VVe selected the staff for our Annual and also our Hall of Fame. Came a senior dance and then the senior play, which was pronounced a success by all who saw it. The glorious Junior-Senior came in May and we were honored by the grand festival tendered us. Having gone to press in April, the Annual was issued in May and was acknowledged to be the best in the history of Cradock High School. VVe buried all our grievances at the Senior Burial and toasted our successes at the Senior Banquet in May. june has rolled around and now we are sorrowfully bidding adieu to our alma mater. We hope C. H. S. will continue to improve as it has done and, with this wish, we say good-bye to one of the grandest schools of our native land. DONALD DUECKER. l 16 l hifi
