Class History N 1915 there goes forth from the Greensboro High School a class which is unusual in many respects. First, this is the first das.-; which has attended the four years of High School life in the pres¬ ent building on Spring Street, it was the first Eighth grade to be in that building. Second: This class has always been noted for its originality and class spirit, which it has manifested on many occasions. Therefore, is it not well that they should leave behind them a history of their achievements, in order that the coming generations mav read therein, and “copy their virtues bold?” In September, 1911, the High School building on Spring Street was opened for the first time to students. Of the many girls and boys that thronged the yard, waiting for the doors to be opened, the majority seemed to he Eighth Graders. When the bell finally rang, the students poured into the various rooms. A good many of the Eighth Grade pupils crowded into the first room they came to and found themselves in Miss Howard’s room, others were attracted by Miss Sum- merell ' s smiling face, while still others went into Mr. Flick’s room. How new and strange eyerything seemed! To learn Latin and Algebra seemed almost impossible, and it was most confusing to change teachers every period. Most of the pupils felt too “new” to be very bad. Nevertheless, several bright days a crowd of Eighth Grade girls slipped through a hole in the fence and ran down into College Branch Meadow where they spent the recess hour peacefully in some mossy dell, feeling that they were “most blood-thirsty law breakers.” After tin first “Bi-monthlies,” several boys from the Ninth Grade joined the Eighth Grade. After that there was something continually “doing.” The bri ' liant remarks and daring insolence of these new members delighted the hearts of the more timid, in whose eyes the new comers were real heroes. In the spring of that year, the Eighth Grade History teacher was unfortunately taken ill and had to leave, and during the few weeks that followed her departure the class had six History teachers. When school opened the following year the Ninth Grade was much .smaller than the Eighth Grade had been. Several had failed on their Final Examinations, and many had not returned, so there were only two Ninth Grade rooms Mis-, Sutton’s and Miss Jordan ' s. It was a most delightful sensation to feel that there was somebody at the High School in a lower class, and when the Ninth Grade pupils actually joined tin Literary Societies several heads expanded wonderfully. This Ninth Grade, strange to say. had the reputation of being a class of hard rases: so about Christmas time when several fire crackers, in some mysterious wav. went oft on the play ground the Ninth Grade boys were suspected. Sad to say thc were found guilty and the school was entertained several mornings by hearing the apologies of the culprits for their outrageous behaviour. 20
