SENIOR YEAR BOOK We have edited this Year Book with the idea of giving to the graduating class and members of the school a souvenir that will he kept as a remembrance of the many happy days that have been spent in Greenville High School. The advertising in this issue is necessary to the class in a financial way that the book might be published. It also brings the advertiser and the high school student into a closer relationship to each other. The advertisements of the local merchants contained in this issue, whether large or small, are greatly appreciated and show the loyalty of the merchants to the school. We wish to thank those, who in their hearty response have helped us solve the financial problem which has been greater this year than ever before, owing to the various demands made on the public, and to the present conditions brought about partly by the return of the bovs from the army. To the class and readers of the Year Book, we wish to say that it is your duty to patronize these firms. We wish to thank Mr. C. M. Henderson of the Arc Engraving Company and others for the aid that has been so kindly given in the preparation of this souvenir. Business Manager 19. Twenty-six

SENIOR YEAR BOOK The Senior Year Book STAFF Editor-in-Chief ............................ Dave Hopkins Assistant Editor..................................... Helen Dickson Business Manager.............. Daniel DeArment Assistant Business Manager.............. Wallace Campbell Athletic Editor............................. Kathro Jones EDITORIAL It has long been the custom for the Senior Class to put out the School annual called the Year Book. As in a good many undertakings the greater part of the work falls upon a few. But since we are now in a position to look back over the years we have been preparing for the work which is to come when we have left this hall of learning, we feel that we can give the time gladly to make this the finest book yet published by a Senior class. The members of the graduating class, who have for the past four years or longer been trocling the sometimes wearisome paths of knowledge, have arrived at the completion of the first lap in the race course of life’s journey. We have laid the foundation for the more arduous one which is to come that will at times present obstacles seemingly unsurmountable and which can only be overcome by those who shall have been armed with the sword of training and the shield of knowledge. This journey has been of much more value to some than to others. Everyone has received exactly what he or she has put into it. And now, as we look back over these years of study, we can see where we have fallen short, where we could have made better use of our time. To some this journey is not complete. There are some who seek a higher education, but for others it marks the end of their years of preparation, and they must journey forth on the highway of life. We look back and see the classes that enter and then graduate in a never ending stream. These classes are forgotten in the hurry of life, but the school goes on. This class has the privilege of being the first class to graduate in the new high school building. We have not had the opportunities that are afforded by this new building, but we are sure that the classes that follow will use this new hall of learning as it should be used, which is a fitting monument to the worthy citizens of Greenville, whose efforts have given us these splendid opportunities for education and development. —Editor.

SENIOR YEAR BOOK Class Prophesy I. as junior member of the New York Brokerage Co., was to be sent to Paris to corporate French and American bonds. In order to obtain my passport, I went to Washington the next day to interview the chairman of the foreign relations’ committee. Imagine my surprise, upon being ushered into his office, to see my old school mate, David Hopkins, one of the most prominent Congressmen on the committee. Needless to say I received the passport and set sail the next day. At lunch the second day out I noticed a familiar face at the next table. Later, I went for a walk on the upper deck and there asked an old gentleman who this young man was and was informed that he was Marvin llombeck, a brilliant young lawyer going to Paris to complete his studies. I immediately introduced myself and after a friendly chat I questioned him concerning his cheerful appearance and he said that he had been married a short time before to the sweetheart of his senior days. Marvin asked me if I had recognized the captain of the ship. I replied that I had not and when 1 got up on the bridge whom should I see hut Albert Jennings. Albert said that he had already seen much of the world hut was determined to see the rest. With two such enjoyable companions the time passed quickly and on the seventh day out of New York 1 arrived in Bordeaux. I went immediately to the American consul and procured a passport to pass the custom official and was advised by him to stay at the American Hotel in Paris. When I arrived there, 1 hired a taxi and drove to the hotel. After registering I asked for an interview with the manager. I was conducted to his office and there, to my amazement, sat Elmer Stanton. I had noticed that the prevailing color scheme in the hotel was green and gold and in answer to my questions I learned that he had just returned from a convention of the Irish Independents, of which another schoolmate, Thomas McQueen, was the chairman. I learned from Elmer that Agnes Henry, the noted dramatist, was at that moment in her suite writing a play based upon the customs of the French people. I called upon Miss Henry at her apartment and was delighted to hear that she was not engaged that evening and made arrangements to accompany her to the opera. As the curtain went up our chum, Mademoiselle Durais, no other than Kathro Jones, appeared in the leading role and charmed the audience with her delightful dancing. Assisting her whom should we see hut Claribel Grove and Stanley Phillips. Later in the evening at a supper party we were informed by Miss Jones that Katherine Andrews, the movie star, was in California posing for a new picture, and that Albert Wagenman, a second Charlie Chaplain, was in a hospital in Twenty-seven
