it THE AND F TIMEW To others it was just the heginning ol an- other school year, hut to us, the two hunctrect memhers of the Class oi '42, it was of the ut- most signiticance . . . our first clay ol high school. Although we clicln't leel very important that year . . . we were the youngest class in high school, and we sat in the very haclc in chapel . . . we have a part in the activities and government of the school. We electecl our class ollicers, who were our representatives in Stu- dent Council. Athletics played a hig part in our school tile lor the l-irst time. The hoys tools part in such sports as loothall, haslcetloall, hoxing, ancl haselaallg while the girls playect tennis, haslcet- hall, ancl hoclcey. They even hact the distinction ol having a memlmer on the hoclcey varsity. The following year. as sophomores. we movecl to our new senior high school . . . narnect Eclmuncts in honor of our helovc-tl su- perintendent who hacl heactecl our schools for so many years. But the new school was not our only step lorwarctg we hact coeclucation lor the first time. Our customary class party was clilllerent' that year hecause it was leap year ancl the hoys were invitect lay the girls and enterlainecl hy them. The press Convention was helcl in Sumter in the spring. Young journalists lrom all over the state tillecl our halls and attenclerl meetings. where they discussect their papers, improve- ments, and lilce things. The convention closecl with a luanquet ancl a large clance in our gym. It was the last ol lxlay. A big tire hurnecl hrightly and we stooct around it cooking wein- ers anct toasting marshmallows. This was the annual Stuclent Council party, ancl we were especially happy because we hacl liinishect our first years wort: at Eclmuncts. anct coulcl use our time for lighter things. -1 LAW-' t ll'xx!AYS H mos .hm lx'lAl.l.ARll, lfrlilor, anal SIILPARIJ DUNN, Business iwunugvr lwlyl hut our junior year was a lmusy onet As we aclvancecl in high school, we receivect new cluties along with new privileges.
