The curtain had fahen on the last act, and the play had ended just right. The heroine rushed off the stage, and running up to the coach, she said, Oh please let ' s have another play tomorrow. We thought it was the last act that she wanted to repeat, but were unable to accommodate her. ■ During April of this year, our entire class was saddened by the sudden death of Annie Brock, one of the sweetest, most gentle, and best-loved members of our class. We have never ceased to miss her, and she will never be forgotten by her friends and classmates. Those of us who survived Geometry, Cicero, and Journalism, started, with the aid of Miss Nellie Cobb, upon the hard path of our Senior year. We made a success of a school paper, an entirely new venture in G. H. S. Under the direc- tion of ATiss Kornegay and Miss Wheeler, and also with the aid and staunch support of Miss Doub, we presented a Senior Play that was a credit to the entire school. Then, too, we took a long step forward by having an attractive Senior Memory P ook instead of the expensive Tarpitiir that other Seniors have had. In only two instances were the members of our class bound by set rules and customs. For years it has been a tradition in G, H. S. that the Seniors should give a Christmas entertainment in Chapel. Our class presented a beautiful and impressive pageant, which was enjoyed by everyone. We also followed the still older custom of having a Senior party on our graduation morning, given by Miss Nellie. l{ach member of the class and of the faculty, while lighting a candle, made a wish for the happiness and success of the Seniors. We think traditions are fine when they are like tliat. Friends, this is the end of our history, and even though we have none to speak of, our class may go down in the records as one Senior Class whTch did not have a history. We bid you farewell. t Hklkn Dortch, ' 25. Page Fifteen

Well, Your Majesty, my boat leaves in an hour, so I must be going. (He goes to door, then turns.) Oh! by the way, John Fuller has been made Poet Laureate of Wayne County and has become famous for his sonnets to Julia Minor Wood. ( T. shows signs of distress.
