the krabba o entered into the school activities with equal success in dramatics, athletics, and scholastic organizations. If you remember, our class was not officially organized until the spring of ’36 when we chose for our officers, N. K. Lee, president; Kathleen Sheehan, vice- president; and Eleanor Rosser, secretary-treasurer. As usual we had the pleasure of entertaining the Seniors with the annual prom which was made possible by funds received from class dues, food sales, and sponsoring a motion picture. As the Junior girls took part in the commencement exercises last year, and as our class president received the cap and gown from the president of the class of ’36, we assumed the responsibilities of Seniors. However, it was not until fall, that we began to undertake these duties. Our class officers for the year were: Jeanette Cooper, president; Sallie Berkeley Drummond, vice-president; Mary Gibson, secretary; and Florence Moore, treas¬ urer. Since we were Seniors, naturally the members of our class were leaders in the school activities. So as our fingers glide over the events on this last page of our scholastic memoir, visions of those wonderful football victories, “My Man Godfre ,” the movie sponsored by the Senior class, the Phenix singers, and the cheering squad are clearly presented before us. Alas, we stop at a red letter date— Thursday, November 26, 1936. It is not Thanksgiving which makes this day outstanding for us, but the one on which our boys defeated Danville, thereby winning the Virginia State Scholastic Class “A” football championship. Fol¬ lowing this, time was spent on plays, Christmas programs, mid-term grades, basketball, and other activities. With the arrival of our rings, the order for the invitations, the pictures taken for the annual, and the election of class celebrities, graduation seemed to appear closer on the horizon. The word “graduation,” which had always brought joy and expectation to our hearts, now became sad at the thought of departure. So as we place aside this record of events, we know our memories will always bring us hack to those glorious days that the class of ’37 spent within the walls of our o dear Alma Mater.
