l' NX . - - ,M-, fly ff..f,, 'I L that it was Mrs. Abell's birthday and no one need practice. South skipped out joyously to build snow forts with the shameless Miss Pickens. Being happy over her recreation the story was related by the victim at dinner. Miss Gray heard a11d as a result, South vowed she'd meet Dip behind the barn before the night was over. lflvidently Miss Gray doubted the veracity of Mrs. Abell's birthday. One occurrence that we never could understand was why a teacher should object to us parading into class with our books in the largest suitcases we could find, when she had distinctly ordered that we collect them in a satchel of some kind and refrain from dropping them all over the place. Our pride was sorely wounded, we l1ad aimed to please and again had missed the mark. Needless to say whenever the least thing went wrong or anything was upset, the word went around that it was that 'teighth grade again. The report -was seldom wrong. During '29 '30 and '31 we accuired a touch of so ihistication , l 21 7 for so we called itj, shoes with a two-inch heel tand were we proudj and a certain swagger that sadly proved though we would not have termed it thus, that we were in the awkward stageiof ttgrowing up. NVQ organized our class, selected lovely red roses as our class flower, proudly waved our red and white banner, wore our red berets with our numerals, and Haunted our class pins in the most conspicuous places, entertained our sister class, procured a classadvisor, and paved the way to the splendid organization now prominent in every class. Yes, we started every thing, good or bad. Now we stand proudly, but nervously, the graduating class of Gray t'ourt D. P. our veteran with ideas of becoming a foreign correspondent in the back of her mind. ' Marge someday hoping to be a famous physicist Cmaybe she 'll be able to explain the Einstein Theory to usb. 4 Bet and lgou ready to join their horse-ranch. Grace choosing a domestic life in preference to the public eye. South ready to enter the literary field. Barbara with plans for the stage, and Ruthie with no definite plans but having acquired a selfiassurance and self-confidence that will get her where she wants. ln our hustle and bustle preceding our departure from our pals and advisors, one might wonder over a certain choking teehng as we call to mind our past years, and try to forget it with a laugh. lVe leave a11d yet we take w1tl1 us always the memory of our class, our youthful joys and enthusiasms-tears. And who of us shall sit with dry eyes when Gray Court bids Fare- well to the Seniors. ' 29
