A s 't ' ' '2w 'J'r'Ns' HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '27 4 'P 1 f F I In the early fall of 1923 Fayettteville High School suffered the invasion of a mighty horde of mischeivous little imps. This band was 110 in number and was known as the Freshman 'Hp Class. The Freshmen, altho they had confidently expected to conquer the entire school im' 4 GI mediately, soon decided to settle down to fmore or lessj peaceful lives and to abandon tem' 1 porarily all thoughts of conquest and be as much as possible like the other classes of the school. 'ii They soon observed that these other classes all had officers, so the leading lights of the class got together and called a meeting of all Freshmen. This meeting resulted in the election off , . the following officers: Eleanor Lilly, Presidentg Fay Brown, Vice'Presidentg Annie Bowles, s X Secretary, and Margaret Hobbs, Treasurer. The first step toward becoming a regular class 1' had been taken. These Freshmen were also represented in the school statistics, thus raising D their selffesteem several notches higher. Martha Clark was chosen as the school's most beautiful ' ' damsel and Grace Clayton as the most musical member of the Student Body. The little Q' Freshmen were also represented on the athletic field, Bill Kennedy winning his letter in Foot' ball and Kenneth Gallup in Baseball. At last Commencement rolled around, and the Freshmen, gathered together for the last time as Freshmen, saw one of their number, john McLeod, march up to the stage and receive the Scholarship medal. 4 V, s After an absence of three months, the Freshmen, now known as Sophomores, returned -N J to the school, feeling like kings, and prepared to show the new Freshmen their proper place. The Class soon reorganized with joe Pemberton as Presidentg Frances Hall, Vice-President, Elizabeth Underwood, Secretaryg and john McLeod, Treasurer. This year the Class was again - represented in the statistics, but the number .of representatives had increased to four. Grace Q Clayton was again chosen most musical, Eleanor Lilly captured the title of Fayetteville's QE Fairestf' Fay Brown was voted most popular, and Joe Pemberton was found to be most courteous. When the Student Council was organized another honor was accorded the Class when Eleanor Lillw was elected President of this august body, this being the first and only time such an honor has come to a Sophomore. It was soon shown that the Class had one member I P of high oratorical ability when Fred Poag made the Triangular Debatinig Team. Again, too, U the Class was represented in Athletics, Bernard Stein in Football and Kenneth Gallup in 1 Basketball and Baseball. , The third year was entered and again the name of the Class was changed. They were D now known as juniors. Only one more year, they thought, and we'll have the world at S ' X your feet. As usual, the first big event of the year was the election of officers. Fred Poag gg was made President, Charles Chadbourn, Vice-Presidentg Katherine Purdie, Secretary, and Ken- fi neth Gallup, Treasurer. Soon the LAFAMAC Staff was elected and Crawford McKethan, Fred 'lit Poag, Kenneth Gallup and Kittie Williamson won places on this. The number of representatives of the class among the statistics rose to six, these being Ioe Pemberton, Eleanor Lilly, Annie V' Mcllwinen, Catherine Morris, Flora McNeill, and Charlie Chadbourn. The number making the Triangular Debate also increased-the members of the class represented in this activity being: . 5 Fred Poag, Crawford McKethan, Elizabeth DeVane, and John McLeod.

M. A Another vacation ended and those members of the Class who had not fallen by the way side returned to the school proudly bearing the name of Seniors At last the height of glory V had been reached' For their last set of officer the Class chose Harold Hedgpeth Eleanor Lilly Frances Hall and Flora McNeill Charles Chadbourn was elected Pres dent and George Jenkins Vice President of the Student Body Six other organizations were headed by members of the Class George Jenkins led the H1 Y Club Crawford McKethan the Student Council Kittie Wil liamson the Dramatic Club Elizabeth DeVane the O Henry Literary Society Harold Hedgpeth the Boy s Glee Club and Betty Woolworth the Girl s Glee Club. Again the Class was well rep resented in all athletics and again the class team 'made good showing. Thirteen members won pl ices on the statistics these being: Martha Clark Annie Mcllwinen Bill McQueen Fay Brown Buck Webb Flora McNeill Margaret Hobbs Charles Chadbourn Kittie Williamson George jenkins Elizabeth Underwood Grace Clayton and Alex McGeachy. All of these and many other activities were indulged in by the Class but lack of space , forbids their chronicling here Suffice it to say that after many hardships and many more pleasures we are now approaching the fulfilment of our ambitious dreams-Graduation! . Perhaps this little story of the doings of the Class of 27 has sounded rather hackneyed ' but even wise old Solomon said There is nothing new under the sun. But someone else sagely remarked that old things are best so perhaps we cannot do better than to say practic x ally what our predecessors have said. After all it is the spirit of the discourse that counts and X Q in spite of our mistakes and our failures we will carry with us through life happy memories and a lasting appreciation of the many good and fine things that have come into our lives through , . . if as fl X its X Y : r. -sg if 4 , lgt-ll ,.
