SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1937 a group of boys and girls arrived at the Florian schoolhouse to begin an entirely new life. We were awed by the large building and knew only the way from the first grade room to the outside door. Later, however, we had occasion to spend at least nine months in each classroom. Now, in 1948, we are preparing to leave this schoolhouse, probably never to return. After the first few days at school we decided that it would be best to settle down to work.Year after year we were rewarded by stepping a grade higher until we reached the seventh grade. There we met Brother V. K. Fletcher. He vas a stern teacher but at the end of the year the class was doubly rewarded by being promoted to the ninth grade instead of the eighth. Was it be- cause of the extremely intelligent pupils, or was it the new school system? Somewhere along the path we picked up the nickname of the NBaby Classn, not because we acted like babies, but because all the teachers liked to work with us and because of the small number of pupils in the class. This being our last year, we have worked harder than ever to leave a good name on the records at Florian High School. Some of the pupils who have been outstanding in attendance are Helen Lee, Laverne Slater and Bobby Lee Leach. Each girl has been absent only two days In eleven years. Bobby Lee has been absent three days. Our class officers are President--Bobby Lee Leach H! I Vice President--Ray Goss iff Secretary--Helen Lee Treasurer--Laverne Slater Reporter--Bonnie Lowe Our sponsors are: Miss Betty McLanahan H Hrs. T. M. Phillips Q Mr. L. B. Skinner W? Our flowers are white carnations. Our colors are blue and white. Our motto is: 'The strongest principle of growth lies in the human cho1ce.' Although there are only twenty-one of us, we have gradua- tion rings from five different schools--Hornbeck, Plainview, Fisher, Mount Carmel and Florien. Whatever ring we wear, we think FLORIEN HIGH SSHOOL is the best gghggl glgg. 12
