Those who guided the class through this year as able leaders were: President ........................ Loren Grimes Vice-President . . . ...... Mary Cohee Secretary ..... .... H azel Anderson Treasurer .... . . . Frances Amick Sponsor ..... . . . Miss Beulah Smith The dramatic part of our Junior year was marked by the presentation of the Junior class play It Won't Be Long Now. The social activities of this year were the Junior-Senior Reception and the Class picnic. The Reception was an event long to be remembered by all who were priviliged to attend. The Country Club was beautifully decorated in green and silver and the banquet, which was daintily served, was followed by a formal dance. Q We started out with eighty-flve in nineteen twenty-eight. There's seats reserved for fifty-eight on this good Ship o' State. Well here we are-nearing the end of nineteen thirty-two, drawing closer to the goal to which we all aspire, and on the nnal step to our astral destination. This, the last year, is by no means the least-it is the greatest in activities and achievements. Those who omcially have guided us through this ilnal year are: President ...................... William Taylor Vice-President .... Loren Grimes Secretary ....... .... M ary Cohee Treasurer ....... Laura Gilliam Sponsor .................... Miss Beulah Smith Some of our class mates were enthusiastic members of the debate team coached by Mr. Lloyd H. Wagner and won several victories over other schools in our state.

3 'fa ,. ' J' s ua SENIOR CLASS HISTORY QContinuedj their four years of high school endeavors. Yes, our motto is- Earnestly Endeavor Eternal Education. Our colors are crimson and silver and the tulip is our flower. 'Though it, has taken us four years to reach our nrst star, we have only begun, and we intend to have many stars to our credit before we reach our eternal home. In September of nineteen twenty-eight, eighty-five Freshmen began the attempt 'to reach the stars. Oh, yes, we may have been called Green Freshies but behold! When they dyed us green the coloring was poor and in a little over a year it had faded. Our Freshman class was the nrst to be initiated under the supervision of our faculty and an organized group of upper classmen. This plan of sponsored initiation was introduced by Professor C. A. Smith. It was indeed an event to be remembered by every little Green Freshie . We are proud of it though. We have established a precedent which is an honor because the upper classmen can never tell their children and grandchildren about initiation night as we can. Our President meekly got out in the middle of the floor and gave an address to the Silly Sophomores, Jolly Juniors, and Dignlfled Seniors-at least that is what we called it. Our omcers who led us through this embarrassing year were: President ....... .... Fr ances Amick Vice-President .... ............. W m. Taylor Secretary . . . .... Mary Frances Dobbins Treasurer .......... Tom Hannell Sponsor .................. , . . Miss Naomi Pruitt In-the years 1929-30 we again took up the unfinished task which lay before us, and mounted a step higher toward our aim-the stars and eternal education. Our omcers for the year were: President ..... .... Fr ances Amick Vice-President .... . . . Thomas Hannell Secretary ....... ....... H azel Anderson Treasurer .. . .... Mary Frances Dobbins Sponsor . .. .... Mr. Paul R. Lostutter We took part in all school activities. Though our boys were young, they were energetic and helped send our Basketball team to the State Toumament. Couldn't you just hear our yells and tell that we were on the path to victory? Another honor in the Sophomore year came when Genevieve Wise won the Dame Oratorical Contest. The grand finale to our Sophomore year was a delightful picnic at Ideal Beach and at Loy's Camp. In 1930-31 we were a bunch of Jolly Juniors. Oh, how we worked to keep that honor roll list the longest. But Chemistry kept sixteen of our classmen from getting their names :J 4 ,ffl R. 1 5, 1' nr. ... h s I '.-Y, Y VIUII ll 'WM 5
