CHRONICLE OF THE CLASS OF '41 19511 'VVHAT A MOMENTOUS YEARI History was no longer doubtful, and people could not speak privately-they could only think, for the Law of Conservation of Energy was conclusively proved by the perfection of the speech-return machine. No history class was Without one. I cared much more about hearing the clear, young voices of the class of '41 than Colum- bus' exclamations in ltalian as he sighted land in the Western Hemisphere. My ambition was realized, and my school days came back to me like a radio playlet. In September of 1930, some sobbing, others rejoicing, We entered grammar school, feeling much more important than we did on coming to G. H, S. Here We learned respect for that all-powerful personage, the teacher, and also that life requires a certain amount of Work. The biggest shock of these first seven school years was the tornado. This also resulted in the mingled blessing and sorrow of seventh period at high school. The catcalls and rivalry of Candler Streeters and Main Streeters gave Way in the fall of 1937 to a united front against the sophomore oppression and the jeering cries of Freshiel We had been rather dubious before going to the great unknown-high school. We dis- cussed the old days at grammar school like octogenarians. But hazing virtually did not exist, and everything was so much nicer than We had hoped. Changing classes was such fun, even if We did get lost at first. Although our plans for a freshman-sophomore prom were defeated, the year was happy and successful for most of us. lt transformed us into what were upper-classmen to the freshman, at least, and We could reply to their title of ''Slop-more-and-more-and-mores with a taunting Fresh meat! Dream- ing of the junior-senior, We conceived the brilliant idea of having the freshmen give us a banquet. We were unable to sell them the idea. The basketball tournament, in which our girls' team reached the finals, was a boon to the junior store. The junior play, l'1Everybody's Crazy, made a record-breaking amount of money for the junior-senior banquet. When We juniors presented gifts to the seniors on class night, we realized that just when we were learning how to get the most out of school our own departure was not far off. When We were freshmen, we had thought that we should feel rnuch more grown-up than we did as seniors. Nevertheless, our senior year was one of the most enjoyable and memo,- rable of our lives, culminating in graduation, the biggest thrill we had ever experienced. A great many things took place during our sojourn at Gainesville High-the custom of taking baskets to needy families at Christmas instead of buying useless things for our- selves was begun: we cheered champion football and basketball teams: a first-class band and a school boy patrol Were organizedp the student council came into being, We saw the introduction of the commercial courses and industrial artsy We made Gainesville a much more Well-read community by our magazine salesp no longer could we flunk because of our extra-curricular activities-studies came firstg the school acquired, among other things, a motion picture projector and a public address system. We had many excellent chapel programs. No matter what may happen to succeeding senior classes, they cannot possibly have more fun than We have had. The faculty should be presented With medals, for they have not only endured us four years-they tried to improve us, Many thanks for their efforts. Let's do our best to be a credit to them and to G. H. S., an Alma Mater of which to be very proud. Anne Palmour, Ir. Historian THE RADIATOR 23 194-1 4
