H. S. Our first duty was to select those who were to lead us. Oscar Clark was selected as our Captain. After a time, however, he dropped overboard and sank from view, and a new election was necessary. This time Harold McGee, little but mighty, was elected and he has been a successful Captain. Our voyage seemed hardly to have begun when, in the distance, over the waters far away, something dark seemed to loom up. Destruction seemed approaching, but after all, it was only a test of our work done in the past few months. We sailed on and passed through the darkness. Our number was replenished with new sailors just fresh from training. We worked and toiled without end. We wanted G. H. S. to be proud of her sailors. The first harbor was rising out of the distance and with one more brave effort we advanced into port with flying colors. A reward was ours, three whole months of freedom from the sea. In September of ’24 we again set sail. Our hopes were high; our standards soaring. “Mack” was again elected as our Captain and we set to work with a will. A number of our boys became noted workers in the games on board. Some of them were Cecil Lawlyes, Raymond Savage, “Mack” McGee, Verlin Starks, Reesie Jones, and “Jawn” Ramey. Some took part in football, others in basketball. But the boys were not the only workers. Our girls’ team won the cup offered as a reward to the inter-class basketball winners. Time flies—our second goal is approaching. The rest of our voyage lies a blank before us to be sailed through day by day to a bright, glorious, and long sought harbor. A. L., ’27. Page Twenty-ove

T. H. S. when about thirty freshmen stumbled over one another as they tried to walk quietly across the assembly and slip into a seat from the wrong side without any of the upper classmen seeing them. We managed to live through the first embarrassing weeks and finally felt seasoned enough to hold our first class meeting. Leo Snapp was elected president; Joe Mahoney, vice-president; Elizabeth Baum, secretary; and Otis Edmonds, treasurer. We all enjoyed our first party in the gym given by the sophomores. Later we attempted to repay them with a camp supper, which proved a great success with the exception of the supper. There was much enthusiasm among the freshmen in athletics. A number of our boys went out for football and showed great promise for the future. There was much interest shown among the girls in basketball. During January, new freshmen entered high school and made us feel that we were beginning to be those awe inspiring upper classmen. We have great hopes for the future and will try to live up to the high standard of the school throughout our high school life. —Catharine Myers, ’28. Page Twenty-three
