(Mariha Stringgellow) E are about to reach the goal toward which we have been working for approximately twelve years, so let us look back for a moment on the four years which were the last lap on our journey. It was in 1928 that we entered high school, feeling quite grown-up, smart, and ultra-sophisticated, but looked down on by the sages of the sophomore class as mere infants. We thought that we had the world by the tail and now that we were here C. H. S. was infinitely richer. That year our home-room teachers were Miss Winn and Miss Rhodes, and most of the term we had our classrooms scattered about town in three different places, namely, the Second National Bank Building, the old Willis Building, and the graded school. We pretended that this was a great hardship scarcely to be endured, but in our hearts we enjoyed going from place to place and losing a few minutes of time between classes. Late in the semester we moved into the new building, known as Ann Wingfield. In 1929 we became almighty sophs and in our turn looked back at the current fresh- men with disdain. We thought we were twice as smart as when we were freshmen. We showed it by high-hatting the freshmen and trying to “make” the juniors. It was a great feeling! The home room teachers were Mrs. Kilby and Mrs. Hudson. When we entered Miss Miller’s junior class in 1930 we no longer thought of our own importance, but entered wholeheartedly into the life of the school and did our part in our school ; but we did not fail to watch out for our good times, too. We were the first to make the Junior-Senior party some- thing besides a dance. After long delibera- tion, we gave a picnic which turned out to be the biggest failure in the way of a party in several years. This year, too, we had a big scrap over our class rings and, after a little tearing of hair, selected the emblem which was to be a link with our past C. H. S. days for several years to come. It was this year that our president, Tish Nelson, first began making a name for herself. Having, by the hardest, lived through our junior year, in 1931 we entered with zest into this, our last year, and took the front seats at assembly. In Miss Burton’s room, with our diplomas a shining goal in si-ht, we have almost reached the top. This year has brought several new activities into our school life, the most interesting of which has been the Pepergram. And again our own Tish Nelson came to the fore. A ain president of her class, she was also editor-in-chief of the Pepergram staff and president of the Junior League Council. At the beginning of the year several new mem- bers were added to our number, these com- ing from other high schools in the county. This year’s field day was held at the ball park and the health queen, Catherine Jones, was selected from our midst. And so we reach our goal. We have had our ups and our downs, but in spite of the downs we have enjoyed our high school days, and it is with mingled regret and ex- ultation that we leave our C. H. S. days behind and go on to newer things to come. We have made friends in our classes and now we have to leave them too ; but we wish them the best of luck and happiness as we turn our faces toward the future.

Last Will And Testameet (Beulah Mae Inskeep) E, the Class of 1932, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, and we do hereby make the following bequests: Item: To the faculty who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams; also all the amazing knowledge and startling infor- mation that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Item: To our superintendent, Mr. Hen- drick, a bunch of forget-me-nots, so that when teachers are needed, the class of ’32 may be remembered. Item: To the Junior Class our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all its seriousness and gravity. Item: To this same Junior Class, San- ford Nelson’s unbounded knowledge on all subjects. We trust the class may be able to survive it. To Glassell Stringfellow, Lillian Bickers’ gift of gab. To Nancy Jones, Letitia Nelson’s flir- tatious personality. To George Beattie, the example of all the members of this class ; namely, the Seniors’ ability to keep quiet on all occasions. To anybody who needs it, Garnett Bruce’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. To Judson Miller, the pictures of all the pretty girls in the graduating class. Item: To the Sophomore Class, the ability to smile when the teacher says, “Test tomorrow.” Item: To the Freshman Class, our extra quality credits, hoping that they will con- tinue to increase them. Item: To the Pepergram, the spicy bits of gossip which we have kept secret for the past year. Item : To the Junior League, a vote of thanks for their unceasing efforts for the welfare of the school during the past year. Item: To the Dr amatic Club, some time to practice for their rehearsals. Item: To the boys’ baseball team, a next year, a basket twice as large as the present one, hoping they may be able to throw the ball in it occasionally. Item: To the girls basketball team, the balance left in the treasury, as we under- stand they need funds. Item: To the boys’ basketball team, a new score took, since their opponents have filled the old ones. Item: To the girls’ baseball team, new uniforms. Item: To the boys’ football team, the memory of our past defeats as a spur to greater efforts next year. Item : Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will show them the same kindness and at- tention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interest in their at- tempts and success; and the same sorrow when they fail.
