S., and as we look back along its halls for one last glimpse to carry with us as a mem- ory of high school, a series of scenes appear before our minds’ eyes. First is a likeness of ourselves as a thor- oughly green bunch of sixty-eight innocent Frosh entering high school with comic dignity in 1929. Twenty-one of these are still with us, twenty-three have left school, one has grad- uated, 1929 being his second year in the fresh- man class due to sickness, and two are married. Others have joined our ranks from other schools to fill the places of those who fell by the way. With what scorn we gazed down upon unelevated ranks of grammar students, as though we had never been affiliated with them under the staves of other assuming freshmen! Over this magnificent collection of colo ssal conceit Miss Winn and Miss Yancey held sway. I imagine they have visions of such scenes as coming into the room to find someone, with an enormous grin, struggling on top of the desk with wrists and ankles tied together, or bound securely to the door post in the hall. Yes, we did play those childish tricks at times. We were only freshmen. Wasn’t it a glorious feeling? As this vision fades, another takes its place — a snapshot of a somewhat subdued look- ing bunch of awakened Sophs, who, having got- ten over freshmen thrills, are waking up to the fact that they aren’t half through yet. How- ever, enough old pep was left to rally through to a bunch of good times. And don’t you re- member how we wistfully watched the Juniors and Seniors at their party? It was that year that Betsy Morrison left us for a trip to Char- lotte, North Carolina. Miss Winn and Mrs. Hudson were home room teachers, Miss Winn having decided that she couldn’t leave the class after becoming so attached to its freshman antics. 1932! What a year for C. H. S.- An out- line of its activities would require rolls and rolls of film. “The Pepergram’’ started as a project of the newly created Poe Literary Society — Dramatic Club organized and put on a play — Hi-Y Club and Monogram Club organiz- ed, oh, numbers of things. An old student would hardly recognize the place. There was the usual furor over the selec- tion of class rings — a majority of thirteen to twelve finally being obtained. “A Mysterious Thanksgiving Guest” was presented as the class play. Just before Christmas the Red Team, winners of the magazine subscription selling contest, were entertained by the Greens who gave a lively party. Virginia Heflin was chosen from our number to be maid of honor for the May Day exercises. In entertaining the Seniors we followed in the footsteps of our “Maiores,” giving a picnic at Germanna. Miss Miller was class sponsor that year and our officers were Betty Willis, president, Leon Seigneur vice-president, and Nancy Jones, secretary and treasurer. Then, holding our noses high in the air, we came to the last year of high school life. Dig- nified Seniors — Imagine! With periods off and the front seats at assembly! Miss Burton ruled over a class of forty-eight, the largest Senior class ever assembled at C. H. S. At an early or- ganization meeting, Sue Guinn was elected class president, Mary Inskeep vice-president, and Wallis Lewis secretary and treasurer. On November 1 there was a big squabble over in- vitations (no serious injuries were sustained.) As a result of the popularity contest held by “The Pepergram,” Nancy Jones was elected the most popular girl in school. Ray! Rah! Nancy! Mary Inskeep was chosen as Queen of the Health Pageant. We were entertained by the Juniors at a most delightful banquet and dance. Now we draw near to the end. Caps and gowns have been ordered, practice has been begun on the Senior play, “Pay As You Enter,” commencement invitations have arrived, and the doleful strains of commencement music, rendered by tuneful undergraduates getting much needed practice, float down to our ears as we rush about frantically on last minute er- rands before exams. Thus we leave our dear old “Alma Mater” with a sigh and a last wistful glance, but through the coming years we shall bear ever with us happy memories of high school joys, and so, ADIEU! llllllllinilHIIIIIIIMIIIIIIillMllllllllllMlIltlliiMMIIiaMIIIIIHIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMHIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIHIIIIIIIHIIMMHHIHMIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMIIIII
