Oe 2A ce hitasp ete onl el Onseo HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1936 ()x September 12, 1932, the Wheel of Education started turning as sixty-four Freshmen were all seated upon it. As it turned slowly but surely we were initiated into the routine of work. May 12, 1933, brings us around one fourth of the Wheel; while during this time six of our group fell off, leaving fifty-eight old ones to start into the second year. The Sophomore year, like the Freshman year, was a quiet one. With the ex- ception of club work and athletics there was no excitement. For us the turn was very slow indeed. The next May, 1934, we noticed our wheel was rotating faster, in spite of the fact that more had dropped off. Only thirty-six were with us now; a few new ones, but mostly the same old bunch. This year a few medals were awarded. Dorothy June Davis won the English medal. The basketball team won the championship cup. During the same time the baseball team also won the championship cup. During the Literary Contest among the county schools, Dorothy Shelton and Lucy Ferguson won the county title in debating. For three years Dan River has stood at the top in basketball, for which we are proud. As we come to the end of another year we are about to reach the end of the Wheel. Not only two of our pupils fell off but three teachers and our principal, Mr. M. C. Davis, but when we started in our Senior year, Mr. P. A. Mickel and other teachers came to our rescue. Having so many new teachers the work was rather hard at first, but when we started the Wheel went faster and faster. We had only one fourth of the way to go as “Dignified Seniors.”” When the Wheel started its rotation we were anxious to reach the end: now as we are about to do so, a sad feeling steals over us. At the climax of the year, lessons were neglected for the Senior play, “Me, Him, and I.” After this came the Junior-Senior Banquet, and following this, the day which all Seniors look forward to—Commencement Day. The Wheel was about to come to a stop. One by one we were given a diploma, the receipt for our service on the Wheel of Education. But this stop was only the first one, for after leaving this Wheel we join the Wheel of Vocation. L. Fercuson, Historian. 16
