Lafamac 1023 FAYETTEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Qlllass nam .3 I JU any years we're been together, First in childhood, now in youth, In earnest hours of work and study, Seeking knowledge, skill, and truth. Not the least of happy mern'ries Are our friendships through the years So long we've been friends and schoolmates That thoughts of parting start our tears. ! II Bright with promise seems our future Though yet untried are we in life, Perseuerance tried by schooling, Will prove equal to the strife. Spurred by thoughts of our motto Impossible, We'll nerer say,' Carrying out our mothers' precepts, We'll do each task as best we may. III To our instructors, wise and patient, We owe a debt we cannot payg For they hare helped with words of counsel, Inspired us all anew each day. Succeeding classes take our plaees,' To them the streams of knowledge flow, Our last farewell, dear old High School, We fondly bid you as we go. ELLEN GRAY JONES sql 2 3 Ig.,

1923 Lafamac FAYETTEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Qlllass Ilaistnrp .99 N the fall of 1919 our class began its high school career. We then numbered seventy-five, and were divided into a Latin and a Science section. The class was very green. But in the midst of our greenness and ignorance we were the recipients of many manifestations of regard and esteem, for we were in High School. At the close of our Freshman year, we were much pleased to have Frank Craven, one of our classmates, win the scholarship medal. A year passed, and we emerged from Freshman obscurity into Sophomore im- portance. We again occupied two rooms, for our class had an enrollment of sixty- five. During that year we made very little visible progress in school activities 3 but we were preparing ourselves for future conquests. The record of the Junior year is somewhat more conspicuous. In September, 1921, when we came back to school as Juniors, there were sixty in our class. We organized early in the fall with Louis Fortson as President, Marcelle Lyon, Vice- President, Elizabeth Larkin, Secretary, and Duval Frye, Treasurer. We pros- pered in every phase of school life. We were well represented in athletics, having seven men on the State Championship football team. We placed four men on the basketball team, and four on the baseball team 5 also, two girls made the basket- ball team. Of the four officers of the student body. two were Juniors. Two of the Junior girls were among the oflicers of the Girls' Athletic Association, which was organized February 17. In the debates, our debaters gave promise of a future thatwill mean much to our class. Toward the close of the year the Juniors cn- tertained the Seniors at a delightful banquet at the Red Cross Cafeteria. In every phase of school life, then, we have been successful, having stood out in athletics and in intellectual and social activities. September 11, 1922, arrived. We returned to school and were joined by several new members. The number of our class had gradually dwindled from seventy- tive in our Freshman year to thirty-eight in our Senior year. The class chose as their officers Charles McDiarmid, President, Ruth West, Vice -President, Eleanor Tomlinson, Secretary, and John Albert Colvin, Treasurer. In September, the Boys' Athletic Association was organized and Lloyd Seawell was elected manager, with Roaber Wright and Truman Clute assistant managers. This year three of the officers of the Student Body were Seniors, Louis Fortson being President 5 Elizabeth Harrison, Secretaryg and Natalie Thomas, Treasurer. ..qI 2 9 Ip.. V
