' i . ,Sift Then we did not realize the good being done for us but now we see it all. You have done your part in helping us reach this goal. We are about to march for the last time down the aile that will lead us on to the duty that is calling us afar. To the teachers of the school system we thank you, for we know that you were willing to give us any advice necessary. . . Again we thank you all.

As in the word of Ibid, That which we acquire w1th.the most difficulty we retain longest. ,l,,i.,1l,l..i11- The History of the Class By MILDRED SPENCER On the 17th of September 1933, I met over a hundred classmates at Union Stat- -' ion, tickets in hand, all ready to board the trains for freshmanland. The train arriv- ingon time, all members were seen hustling toward the empty seats laughing and shouting with glee with the thoughts of their journey. Thus 140 first entered this liglass of distinction. Prior to the dates no member ever held such a position of importance. In spite of the mockerv and scorn we received from the other classes of the school on board this train with us, we joined together in an earnest persistent effort to keep our own seats and reach success. ' Well do we, members of that strange rough and tiresome railroad journey remember one passenger, one clad in chapel, a member of the faculty, whose flowing hair told one to be aware of the love! We passengers feared Miss Hatcher for her name it was, although we feared Miss Gray the more, another strong passenger, who persisted in our history class having unity. We soon won the respect and honor of our fellow travelers by being the first class to support the Declamatory Contest. X Buttglad were the hearts of the passengers when our Conductor Mr. Brown camel through the car shouting Vacation Station off we piled to join friends and parentsf elsewhere for 4 whole carefree months. . .A Mm- . The next year as sophomores we boarded the train. But this year we were allowed to take the empty seats of the third class car instead of those of the fourth. This year another honor was bestowed upon our faithful class for winning the banner attendance, six months out of eight. Since our class was divided into two divis ions' Edmund Gordon and Johnie Belle Spencer served as president. We did not have many things to participate in, nothing but that history class under Miss Gray that was enough for us. We grew along slowly waiting for our next year to come knowing that we would be jolly juniors, Miss Boney and Mr. Pickett slowly driving on with us. g The fall of 1935 found us again on board the train all fresh and bright from our three months rest, this year another honor was bestowed upon our faithful band Miss Frances Oakley took part in the finals of the triangular Debates. We were jolly juniors now but our class had dropped to the number of about ninety. The officers were as follows: President ................. .... Harold Tate, Secretary .............. ......

VVe are sorry to go but yet when we think of the duty that is calling us on we cannot help but rejoice. Maybe we have not done our best, but if there are any mistakes that we have made, we hope that the following classes will profit by them. Our teachers dear have followed us to the last step and we have them to thank for it. We thank them and cherish them for all they've done for us. We cannot thank only our high school teachers for this was not the beginning. From the time we entered school, we were looked after, guided and pushed on to higher heights. Well do we remember how we did not like to come to school and how our primarynteachers coached us and told us of the better things. We thank them all. 'llTeh comes the time for our grammar grade days. How we did love to play. But that was not all. Some work had to be carried on. Our dear old grammar grade teachers were burdened with a load of care for us that inspired us on to do our best. We did not like some of their scoldings but now we see it all. They knew that we were only boys and girls and that we would care in the future. Listen! Vie hear music. At last we are marching down the aisle for 7th grade commencement day. This means better boys and girlsg more work and less play. The ch is over, then the program ended. We rise to march out once more. Do we feel ke young men and women? This is going to be the life we think. But nay, it is the same as before. Guidance and more guidance. When you, our teachers, told us the correct steps to take we sometimes lost our heads. We regret all the mean things we and thank you for keeping us going in the straight path that has led us thus far. W listened to you sometimes with the thought in our minds of doing just the opposite r teaching. Many of us have failed from time to time for that very reason. Now ght has come when we see things clearly and know just why you did not quit. knowledge that you have suffered long that we might sip just a taste of the of life. fl now to our loving principal who has been a gallant leader for us since our here, there is an appreciation for your help. Daily we have heard you say, and not mice, or Try and make a hundred, or Don't be like that old mule. fun to walk the halls or sigh at your speeches in chapel. We've been called for cutting class or not going to chapel and probably given a good talking.
