Senior Qlass history Twelve long, short years ago a happy but shy bunch of little boys and girls came to the large brick building which was the only school building Fort Meade boasted of then. Some came alone, some with loving mothers and proud dads; some walked, others came in cars and the rest in Fords. Slowly the years came and went and each year saw us struggling on. When we began to understand what school meant and began to tire of it, the World War, which plunged our nation into blood and sacrifice, inspired us. And as we sat at our firesides at home and heard our people talk of the needs and necessities to carry on the war to a successful close, then with renewed ambi- tions we pursued our studies. In the fifth grade our class purchased a basket-ball and football and with these a majority of our present High School athletes (both boys and girls) learned the fun and skill of the games. Our class has furnished F. M. H. S. with more athletes than anv other since we have been in High School. At last we were “Rats,” but were respected as much as the rest of the classes. We immediately organized and prospered much throughout the year under the ca] able leadership of Milo Holden, our president, and Robbie Dean Pennington, our vice-president. We chose green and white as our class colors, and have kept them every year. It was during this year that we entertained the Seniors at Kissengen Springs. Next, we became the Sophomores, and elected the following officers: Mrs. S. W. Keen, sponsor; Robbie Dean Pennington, president of the “Jolly Bunch”: ! Miriam Head, vice-president, and Hazel Overstreet, secretary. Soon we gave the Seniors a Kid Party.” It is with genuine pride that we recall the fact that our class won the loving cup and fifty dollars offered for getting the most mem- bers to the Chamber of Commerce. Then we became Juniors, with Robbie Dean Pennington, president; Miriam Head, vice-president; Hazel Overstreet, secretary; Alleen Mayo, treasurer, and Miss Miriam Slaughter, sponsor. As Juniors, we were entertained at the home of Nellie Mae Meek by the rats. At the end of the year we gave the Seniors a banquet and all pronounced it the best ever given in our fair “City of Smiles.” Now after all these years we have at last reached our Senior year. To be grand old Seniors has been the height of our ambition for so long. Our class officers are: Richard Langford, president; Alleen Mayo, vice-president; Ce- leste Edwards, secretary and treasurer; Alleen Hancock, class reporter; Miss Hazel Black, sponsor. We have given of our best to our school, and we have had a wonderful class these last four years. And may Graduation, the Com- mencement of our real life, only make us more determined to “keep faith with the high ideals we have held during our brief High School career. The past four years are history; it is for us to make the future even more worth while. Page Twenty-three
