i The History of the Class of 1930 WE all well remember that bright September day, when we with shining faces tried our best to look grown up, and turned our footsteps toward the High School. We were a haDDY and enthusiastic group of a hundred and thirty-two, but as we entered that haven of knowledge, the contemptous glances of the Sophomores and the pitying look of the rest, dampened our ardor quite a bit. Mr. MacNeel, the principal, called us together and gave us quite a little advice about walking in the straight and narrow and sent us to our tasks. We proudly chose Emma Ledbetter to lead our class and John Barlow as vice president should the need occur. Ed. Williamson was to record our many accomplishments and Walter Jones was given the honor of guarding our empty treasury. We did not want to lag behind: we did not want to be the average even, so we chose Ducamus as our motto and flinging forth our banners of blue and gold, we clambered past the first mile post and sat down to rest with a sigh of relief. II Another September brought us together again, not quite so many as before, for several had fallen by the wayside. Our footsteps were not quite so rapid this time, but more dignified, and our glances at the new freshmen were quite scornful as had been our predecessors. Those of us who had thought High School a machine through which you were passed without effort, and at the end of four years given a diploma as a matter of course, abandoned the idea and went to work. We began to think seriously about our futures and joined clubs that would help us along our particular line of work and started things going in full swing. We went about choosing our affairs seriously. Ed. Williamson was to lead us for the year with Aileen Bowles as his assistant. We thought Johnny Barlow quite capable of, both, recording our deeds and managing our capital. We kept time with our motto with Eileen Cassidy winning the scholarship medal and passed our second mile post a more dignified and enlightened group. III We entered into our third year to toil a cheerfulness thalt was surprising and ac- cepted our heavier new duties as a matter of course. Mr. Campbell had joined us as principal and affairs began running smoothly from the start. - We felt like birds just beginning to try their wings and we began to take an interest in things other than books. We gave some fine players to our football and basketball teams. We were about the same in number as the preceding year, with only three dropping out, leaving us ninety-four. To lead us safely through our Junior year, we chose Donald Armfield, so capable of the task. To aid him we named Eileen Cassidy. Dorothy Melvin we asked to be our secretary and hold our money bags. For marshals we gave Williamson as chief with Donald Armfield, John Monaghan, Andrew Motz, Seve Barden, Emma Ledibetter, Ann Gaster, Eileen Cassidy and Flora Harris, who served their positions well. We gathered in some new members and lost a few of the old, but we accomplished much, and gave the seniors a banquet that fairly turned their heads. James McLeod our flne mathematician captured the Myrdver Math medal and another honor was given our class. We passed through the storm of final examination week successfully and the third mile post loomed into view. We gave a happy shout at the final bell and rushed forth to a summer's rest and free from worries. IV Our senior year we entered with thoughtfulness with Ed. Williamson again as our president and D. T. Perry as vice president. To Rena Dupree fell the lot of secretary and to Isabel Tillinghast that of counting the dough. We all determined to work hard for the goal which seemed so enticingly near. Now we are nearing the end of our High School History, with our real History not yet begun. we are seeing a light not far distant and we all know what it is, it is the dawn of graduation, and we stand somewhat dazed at the wonder of it all. We see our happy school days gliding pastg but we have not forgotten that we have a glorious future nor have we forgotten our desire to be more than common place. So we are ready to step forth and flaunt our banners to the sky, and each follow our motto still Ducamus - LET US LEAD. PAULINE Armaaws. Nineteen
