81444 Jain It was a bright day in September of 1944 when our court of thirty-five princes and princesses began a journey to the land of Education. With the name of Freshman in the first mile of our journey, we selected as leaders: Margie Poe, President, John Reynolds Harris, Vice-Presidentg De- lores Gaines, Secretary and Treasurer. For most of us this was an eventful and successful mile, however, many began to make excuses: The first said, I am poor in health, therefore, I can go no further . Another said, I must needs toil at home, therefore, I must turn back . A third said, I am dull and cannot learn. I beg thee have me excused! Still another said, 'fl am going to be mar- ried, and therefore I need go no further . So thus did the members of our court decrease until there were only twenty-one at the beginn- ing of our second mile. We had now begun the big show of our journey under the name of Sopho- mores with Marietta Gates, Presidentg Kilmer Cheek, Vice-President: and Millicent Beal, Secre- tary and Treasurer. In this exciting mile our members really became active. Some joined the basket- ball team, many were -student librarians and lunchroom workers, others were members of the Student Council. Eight of us went through two of the most horrible days of all our journey-initi- ation into the Beta Club. Nevertheless, in September of 1946 we began our third mile with more zeal and ambition to succeed. A new member, joining our court at this point, increasing our number to twenty-two. For our leaders we chose: Millicent Beal, President, Delores Gaines, Vice-President, and Margie Poe, Secretary and Treasurer. We realized that our journey was growing harder, yet more excit- ing. It was on this mile that we received our class rings. They came just before Christmas and seemed like a Christmas present, except they weren't free. A rather memorable event was -the ban- quet we gave the class of '47. The Dutch theme was carried out in all our decoration plans, and with Millicent Beal as toastmistress, everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion. Hurrah! Our last mile was reached! Realizing that we were nearing the land of Education, our excitement grew keener and we traveled under the name of Seniors with a new seriousness. Margie Poe became president of our court, while -Ollie Seagroves became Vice President, Joy Ruth W - Yr Secretary and Kilmer Cheek was our Treasurer. Our motto was Not Sunset but 37 Dawn, lj colors were green and white, and our fllower was the red rose. During these four weary miles to the land of Education, several outstanding honors were bestowed upon the members of our court. Margie Poe won third place in the state in the National Forestry Contest. Ollie Seagroves won the local recitation medal. John Reynolds Harris and John Kilmer Cheek won the local declamation award. Marietta Gates was editor of our paper, and Delores Gaines was editor of the Goldstone. Our members were officers of the Beta Club, the 4-H Club and the Student Council, while others were bus drivers and lunchroom workers. And so the history of our journey ends, our memories cease, and we look to the future with great expectations. Joi-IN KILMER CHEEK, Historian Page Eleven
