THE LAFAMAC HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '26 PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT I When, as the Class of '23, We entered the first year of drudgery, We knew that through the four long years, Perforce there'd be some nights we'd spend in tears Before we reached the shining goal Of which so many stories had been told. In keeping with the school's traditions We started off with many fine missions To sustain our predecessors, And also to leave to our successors The same pathways in which to tread That we had found were robbed of their great dread. Being young and without experience, We thought to begin by making best appearance. When soon around came election day, Our every thought and aim were turned that way, For we knew it was a great event To choose Parker for the President. George Hatch we thought to be the best To serve a year as scribe for all the rest. Julian Hutaff who will never lag, We chose to hold for us the money bag. Bill Marsh, who was so very polite, Gave to his class a bountiful delight When counted votes showed us that he Won out ahead in courtesy. Ruby Mc. and Ruth Bethune did greatly beam When they both made the girls' basketball team. A. B. Williams and S. P. Armfield Were themselves a veritable shield. Bill Marsh and Luther Gentry too- These also helped us in the day's review. II Without spoiling all tradition, We entered on the time of transition. We had at last a pace out-stepped, To welcome the new name by which yclept. For we were now class Sophomore, With feeling just like birds when first they We began our second year of strife Taking a very different view of life. Entirely sophisticated We donned a role which needn't be relatedg Trying always to do our best We were able to succeed and pass every test. Now each one thinks his special pranks Will keep his name forever in the ranks, Or in his list of memories That shall br'ng comfort in coming years. Veni, Vidi, Vici became The very motto by which we'd earn our fame. But you, my dear, must not forget That we were Sophomores-conceited yet! For president we then elected SO3.I'.

PAGE THIRTY THE LAPAMAC George Raynor was vice-president: They brought us through without harm or accident. Ruby McElhannon, secretary, Was always sweet and never contrary. To Edna Adams, the funds we trusted, But with its scarcity she was disgusted. Smith, McElhannon, Hatch, and Clark On the Student Council prevented many a lark. Marsh, student secretary, was fine- On statistics handsomestg always benign. Twelve boys and girls all quite alive Were chosen for ushers at commencement '25- Fairley Clark, Walter Crowson, Culvert Hammons, Von Bullard, Bill Marsh and Tom H'ill Were the boys selected with a great good will. Mary E. Strickland, Leah Jones, Alberta Hale, Sara P. Armfield, Kelso Currie and Margaret Perry Made the group of girls so bright and merry. On LAFAMAc's staff six members we had Who were altogether good and not one bit bad. Vera Buckingham again won place As first debater in the Triangular race. For athletics not a few turned out- They were both tall and lean and short and stout. Allanach, Bullard, Patterson, on basketball team, Proved they were what they really did seem. Two boys on football team then starred, And the work they had to do was very hard. Girls' basketball team then had four Who helped in every game to roll up the score. As this year slowly passed away Our thoughts were Iongingly turned to that fair day, When we would be Seniors and reign supreme, Guarding well our motto, To be rather than to seem. IV At last arrived that happy day When 50 and more with pride could say, I'm a Senior resolved to try To reach the goal that's so invitingly nigh. Sweet dreams of yesterday are past fl wonder were they ever meant to last?j Of fourth year realism we'd heard But thought we ne'er would understand the word. We saw at last work must be done, So bravely put aside most of our fun. To finish our H. S. career Became to us a goal earnestly dear. Annie Black as president did reign With rod and sceptre: but she did disdain To rule her fond and loving band With anything akin to an iron hand. Others there were honors to win But concerning these we fittinszly make no din. Our first motto we have fulfilled, We came, we saw, we conquered as we willed. The last we're sure we shall redeem- It's better to be rather than to seem. -I'IALLIE IRWAIN WILLIAMSON, Historian
