it firm We are advertised by our IANUARY CLASS POEM Una White, Poet The highway of life is winding- Its roadbed wet with tears- Through sun-kissed meadows of beauty, O'er mountains of doubts and fears. Turning, twisting, ever onward- Every mile a courage test: Tears, laughter, sorrow, and joy- Life's uncertain at its best, Yet, bravely we've set our courses, Determinedly we've said: 'AThis be our motto-this our creed: Be sure youre right-then go ahead! The happy years have brought us The looked-for goal, at last: We stand at the fateful crossroads, Cut carefree schooldays past. Faces set to the rising sun, See the dawn of another day. With eager hearts and courage high, We start on our unknown way. There'll be many a doubtful by-path To lure us with its gaudy spread- Yet, we will pause and whisper: Be sure youre right-then go ahead! aalgif W! ' loving friends IUNE CLASS POEM Margie Fulp, Poet We give our praise to thee, Hanes High For knowledge, experience, and joy Found within thy open doors. Oft victory we did not attain Still, we reaped from failure its gain. Alma Mater we pledge allegiance Our loyalty and true obedience To high standards and ideals Maintained during years of learning To which Fate grants no returning. Now while standing on the threshold Eager for the future untold Need is felt of sage advice Given by rnore noble souls To save us from unworthy goals. True, few of us may garner fame But may we live lives without blame So that memories may corne forth Of time well spent for good of some Who needed help of small deeds done.

Government of the students, by the students and for the students. HANES HIGH IANUARY CLASS HISTORY Margaret Knott, Historian lanuary, 1939, and only seven members of our class are left to complete the journey on the highway of Education. Five years ago, we, the graduating class of lanu- ary, 1939, entered the high school grades with the determination that we really would make history! Since law and order had to be kept in our school, Una White and Gray Shermer were among those who were chosen to serve on the Board of Al- dernien and the Police Club. In 1936, Gray was elect- ed Mayor of North High School, This was indeed an honor for our class, as well as for Gray! Rassie Mae Holcomb, Margie Mashburn, and Gray Shermer have been a great help to the Music Department of our school, All three of them have been members of the Glee Club and High School Chorus since coming to this school. Lucile Edwards and Leon Goforth have been as- sistants to the librarian, helping with library work. Lucile is also president of the Library Page Club. Una White and Lucile Edwards are the two mem- bers of the class who have taken an interest in journ- alism. Lucile has served as Associate Editor of the Black and Gold and as a member of the Pine Whis- pers staff. Una has also served on the Pine Whispers stall. Taking an interest in sports were: Margaret Knott, Una White, Gray Shermer, and Leon Goforth. Una has been a member of the girls' baseball team for four years and a member of the soccer team for three years. Gray has been an outstanding member of the football, baseball and basketball teams since he be- gan his high school career. In 1937 our school's name was changed, and we suddenly found that we were no longer students of North High School, but of W. Hanes High School! Two other important events took place in this same year: Gray Shermer was awarded a Service Mono- gram for outstanding service to the school. This is the highest honor that a Hanes High School student can receive, so we felt mighty proud of Gray! The other event was that Una White even surprised her- self by learning that she could write poetry! She was awarded the prize for writing the Hanes High Alma Mater. ln the spring of 1938, when all of us should have been making plans to graduate in lune, we began to drop subjects so we wouldn't have to graduate! ln the fall of 1938, we had a very easy time elect- ing class officers and superlatives. Since there are only seven members of the class. we just made up one committee and didn't have to appoint them. After a lot of fun, class oflicers were elected as follows: Pres- dent, Lucile Edwards: Vice-President, Una White: Secretary, Rassie lkflae Holcomb: and Treasurer, Leon Goforth. In November 1938, Una White became the second member of our class and the sixteenth student of our school to be awarded a Service Monogram. The lunior-Senior banquet will remain in our memories as one of the most outstanding events of our high school days, Class Night and Graduation will always be a high light in our memories. These nights mark the time when we stepped from the Highway of Education, into the Highway of Life. As we stepped upon this new highway, our thoughts turned back to our class poem and we thought of these words: There'll be many a doubtful by-path To lure us with its gaudy spread Yet we will pause and whisper: Be sure you're right--then go ahead!
