Harding High School - Acorn Yearbook (Charlotte, NC)

LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow. Here we are, a new school, ready to grow just like the little acorns which are scattered about here and there cn our campus. We may be walk- ing in the woods or elsewhere when a tiny rounded nut covered with a woody cup falls on our head and startles us. If we could but take the time, and watch this fruit of the great oak tree grow, we would find a very interesting but prolonged process. The short quotation Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow is used by many poets to express what may result from small beginnings. This can very well illustrate the growth of our school, Harding High. We were planted as an acorn when our beautiful building was planned and erected. When school opened last fall, we were transformed into the shrub with small, weak branches represented by our classes. As the time so quickly passed, we found ourselves growing stronger and acquiring more and more branches, that is, our organizations. We have had sports to develop us physically and activity groups to stir our mental capacity for originality in creating poetry, and other literature. Truly, we are growing like the great oak, but much faster. XVe hope to continue our growth more rapidly during the next year, and even more so, if we are fortunate enough to receive an addition of class- rooms, teachers, and subjects. ' At this new high school we have an extraordinary amount of talent. This is evident when one realizes the results of our amateur program, and chapel programs of plays or speeches. We also have talent in creative writ- ing, music, typing, and art. Next year we hope we shall be able to have classes in art, dramatics and public speaking, journalism and creative writing, Bible, and shop work. We want to enlarge the music, typing, and home economics departments. Organized hobby groups made up of those interested in nature study, pho- tography, and collecting stamps would be much worth while. ' During our vacation months and in the years to come, let us remember our motto of growth and our desire to become like the sturdy oak, and do all in our power to make Harding High a full-fledged junior-senior high school.
