THE LAUREL LEAF 3 istimt uf the Class at ' 2tx Early in September 1922, Prof. W. H. Crawford guided his flock of about thirty Freshmen through the entrance of their High School career. After many ups and downs, change of teachers, battles with higher arithmetic, and an epidemic of flu, most of us became Sophomores. How important we did feel! But we were soon humbled, for Mr. Measles came along and knocked us flat. You can’t keep a working man down though, and our spirits were soon soaring high in the political campaign, in which we went “whole hog” for the People’s Party,” only to be brought down by the death of our dea r little teacher’s mother. But Miss Gallman returned to row us over the Latin River into J uniordom. Oh, how Mr. Richards blushed when he saw what a silly looking bunch he had to contend with! It’s no wonder that Miss Mahaffey, who was usually so good-natured made us memorize the Gettysburg Address backward, for our backs must have looked even worse than our faces on April Fool’s Day. We almost coughed our heads off be¬ fore the Junior-Senior reception given at the home of our charming sponsor, Miss Margaret Rogers. But somehow we managed to become Seniors. In ’25 a new principal, Prof. A. L. Bramlett, with a new faculty and regulations greeted us. We lost our English teacher and sponsor after Thanksgiving, much to our dismay. But Mrs. Sam L. Franks, who iust seemed to belong to us anyway, re¬ lieved us of our anx ' ety by coming to us after Christmas. We really should have had a half holiday, at least, when we finished Burke’s Speech on Conciliation, but no such luck came our way. Mumps did not quite “get our goats,” although we had a sweet time for a while. Parties and dinners brightened things up quite a bit, and at the end of the year we unanimously proclaimed our four years at F. H. S. a period to be re¬ membered throughout all coming time. If our diplomas could have uttered sound, there would probably have been a great groaning as we squeezed them almost in two, for fear they would leap away from us after all our struggles for them. No matter what the future may hold in store for us we doubt if any thrill could equal this last one at F. H. S. MARY LOIS FERGUSON. -’age Twenty-cne
