ell-in THE PLUTOCRAFT all--in ard, Harold Kinsey and Walter Evans. The Juniors went to work in earnest for they had much to do. Shortly after starting out upon the third lap of the journey three members of the Class of '32 decided to leave the Junior ship and go aboard that of the larger one named Seniors '31 . Cap- tain Sharp had a wireless sent out and the three, Evelyn Pruett, Russell Apple and Arthur Lockwood set out in a motor boat for the other vessel. The Juniors bade them farewell with much regret. The most important frolic of the year was the Juniors' reception for the Seniors on an island. lt was here the Juniors realized they were nearing their own goal and as they watched the great boat sail away they decided to fight harder than ever. Following another brief vacation ol' four months the remaining boys and girls of the large Freshman group came on board a ship with 'tSeniors '32 paint- ed in huge blue letters on a white back- ground. They found that Mabel Cook, Edith Osborn, Mary Stevens, Anna Eastridge, Lucille Dove, Gladys Juniper, Samuel Sharp, Elmer Brown, Ted Ballard, Clif- ford Lashbrook and Charles Lashbrook had left them for other ports. Paul Chilton and Herbert Bledsoe were new members of the class which was now sponsored by Mrs. Lashbrook and Mr. Messick, and the captain, Audra Flick. ln February of 1932, Lorabelle Camp- bell decided to leave the ship for married life. The last year was the happiest, yet the saddest of all the other years for thcie were many activities, but the last ones for the class of '32. With their work finished, the Senior Class of '32 stood at the railing of the ship and as it plowed through the water the voices of the Seniors came back over the waves with the words: THE FU- TURE IS STILL OUR OWN, Class Will Vance Morgan and Glenn Leonard .We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-two, do make this our last will and testament as follows: To Mr. Singer and Mr. Pershing we leave the primary right to use our mor- tal remains for scientific work at any time they think necessary. To Mr. Crow and Mr. Chilton we leave the privilege of being official score keep- ers for all athletic contests in which F. L. H. S. is a participant. To Mr. Messick and Mrs. Lashbrook we leave the sole right of sponsoring the Senior 'Class of 1933-34. To Mr. McDonald we leave the privi- E 71 lege of speaking in convocation when- ever he desires to do so, and can find anything to say.

in-l n THE PLU'rocRA1f'r n -lg Class History by Nina Hazel and Berniece Bledsoe Ship Ahoy! A whistle sounded. The good ship Freshies was leaving the port of Grade School and setting sail on the Sea of Knowledge for the City of Graduation. Captain Samuel Sharp Jr. hailed Miss Hartman, the class sponsor, to weigh the anchor and the ship sailed off. Upon the sea the eighty Freshmen be- gan to feel their importance. Three other ships had already left the port at other times and were waiting at islands along the course, to sail alongside the Freshies. Of these ships Freshies was the largest. During the first storm of monthly tests many Freshmen became sea sick and for several days afterward kept to their cabins. One night Captain Sharp issued orders to prepare the life boats. They were approaching the most danger- ous channels of the course-Semester Exams. For two days, the great ship tossed madly to and fro upon the wild waves, then it sailed onward into a calm sea. Captain Sharp's keen eyes, as he stood at the prow, saw land in the dis- tance. As the mists cleared the ship anchored at an island. Here a halt was called and four months were spent in vacation. The year that had begun in September 1928 had come to an end and the Freshmen had said farewell to one another at a party and were off for a good time on the island. In the fall of 1929, with Eleanor Mavity at the helm, the ship once more set sail. During the four months vaca- tion it had been repaired and now huge letters announced to the world in gen- eral, that this was the ship Sopho- moresf' Page 12 III Miss Hartman and Mr. Tuley were in charge of the class and upon calling the roll it was found that a number had left the ship as Freshies. They were Zelma Duggins, Berniece Agans, Cather- ine Waggoner, Lota Apple, Dorothy Bledsoe, Imogene Hay, Ruth Hendrix, Michael Fair, Al Parker, John Saunders, Elbert Thornton, Wayne Wininger and Paul Tarr. A little sail boat with five people in it hailed the captain of the ship and a rope ladder was lowered. Lois Kaiser, Ma1'y Woolums, Gladys Summers, Mae Williams and Woodrow Atkins came aboard the ship to join the passengers. They related how they were abandoned on the islands of English Hi and Birds- eye Hi and had been sailing for weeks to catch the Sophomores. Leaving the good times and the storms of the year before in their mem- ories only, the Sophomores now devoted themselves to their new duties and a number of them entered into athletics, oratory and music. lt seemed almost no time until an- other halt was called and the Sopho- mores hurried ashore for a good time for four months. September 1930 came and the olfl Sophomore Class was greeted by their former Captain, Samuel Sharp. A new ship was anchored at the pier and ori its side was the word Juniors Miss Kirk and Mr. Pershing read tnc list of those who had left the Sopho- more group. They were Betty Light- ner, Olive Walls, Esther Cox, Velma Beaty, Ruth Hall, Beatrice Lytle, Gladys Summers, Paul Bennett and Dale Dish- ion. There were three new members added to the list, however-Glenn Leon- H El
