During the years we have spent in high school we have come to realize the importance of books in our everyday lives. In the years to come these friends should play an even more important role in our happiness and success. As you add this book to your collection, our hope is that in looking over the pages of this little volume you may be reminded more vividly of days spent at Harding High. If perchance you close its covers with reluctance, then we shall not feel that our eforts have been in vain. CONTENTS BOOK I ..............,,,..... CLASSES BooK BooK BOOK II ..,,,.

Tl-IE BOOK OF LIFE Life is a book that we study -Seven true and significant words That from life's very entrance, we are taught to understand and observe. We've passed the chapters of infancy and child- hood and at last we've come to Man And today, classmates together. at the crossroads of life we stand. Somehow it takes a lot of study to learn what's meant by Life. lt's full of love and sunshine but it has its pain and strife. We seniors started out together to study each and every part Of this Book of Life, wherein We're found: Mind, soul, and heart: Each day has found us learning more about what life demands. The way to grin and bear it and how to lend a helping hand: To share our joys with others, from hurting them to refrain: To make a smile the welcome we receive as they mention our names: To study how to be a friend when friendship most is needed: How to choose companions. just as flowers. not from gardens left unweeded: Instill forever in our minds Harding's fine. true Creed Thus to prepare for the future that none as yet can foresee. And because we've' studied faithfully the chapter in Comradeship too, Vile shed a tear for those behind: Our buddies loyal and true! YVe learned to talk over nroblems with friends in grades below And we won't forget their helning hands as we on this journey go: We have our teachers' guiding words instilled deep in our hearts. They'll be with us throughout our lives Cach day a message to impart. We can't forget the instructions they've tried so hard and long To teach us, How in all we do to distinguish right from wrong. This chapter in the Book of Life is ended: its final page appeared: The crossroads of Life is just ahead. to it our feet in unison steer. With a steady tread we walk to its gate. pause- and swing it wide: We turn again for a moment to say to Harding a sincerely sad goodbye -lVlARGARET BLACK.

Even the remains of tear drops are visible on some pages, but one finds mostly an account of victories well won and dreams come true. where only signs of happiness and joy abound. On the first pages of this book the names of school friends are found, with an expression of what they hope to accomplish in the future. Even after a period of five short years, in looking over these names, one sees that many have given up the dream of completing their high school course, others have graduated and gone away. and some have just drifted out of the life of Harding and no one seems to know where they are, We were among the charter members of our school. Our activities started on September 18, 1935, the year the school was established. We were in the eighth grade. Our Honor Society, Public Speaking Club. Creative Writing Club. and Dramatic Club were organized that year. The year closed with the publication of a yearbook, the ACORN, by the Creative Writing Club. On turning another page, we see that we were ninth graders joining all of the new organizations of our school. At the beginning of the year the Physical Education Department was organized. The Harding Hi-Lights, a monthly paper, was first published. The second edition of the ACORN was published with Doris Kleckley as editor and Frances Ramsey as business manager. On St. Patrick's Day we entertained ourselves royally with a party at the school. The drawing up of a constitution for our student government marked the end of the year. It seems that up to this point the outstanding events had been merely an introduction to Harding High, but now with an organization, the work of the class was started with an earnestness which will leave its impression DOI only on the pages of our Memory Book, but also on the hearts of all its members. The tenth year was a very eventful year. With swaggering pride we occupied the new addition of the school! The student government was organized this year with a few tenth graders managing to get themselves in it. At our Valentine party held at the school we had a wonderful time trying to teach Miss Watson, our adviser, the Big Apple. The year closed with examinations and with the publication of the third edition of the ACORN with Margaret Caudell as editor, and Frances Ramsey as business manager. As we turn another page we are attracted by these words, We're juniors, yes juniors. we're proud as can be, and if you don't know why, well, just wait and see. This bit of information prepares one to be on the lookout for signs of great achievements during the year '39, and if one looks closely, one is not disappointed. From the very atmosphere of this section of the book, it appears that this class has put away many childish things and, realizing that this year holds many important events that require not only class unity but also ability there seems to be more determination and seriousness than ever existed before. Our first social event of the year was a weiner roast at The Old Mill. The fourth edition of the ACORN was published with Eloise Abernathy as editor and Carolyn Stone as business manager. The junior marshals were chosen with Edna Linder. Chief Marshal. We see also a glowing account of the junior-senior banquet that was given at Thacker's. Thus closes another year full of work and play. There is a glow of anticipation as we turn to the last section of the book. One immedi- ately feels that a great change has taken place and that a different atmosphere exists. The care- free juniors are now dignified seniors. The very spirit of this section of the book seems to express the feeling of seriousness and purposefulness, as this class, under the leadership of Edna Linder, our president. started on our last year in high school, When our rings came in October. we were almost beyond control. We elected our superlatives and performed the many duties which only seniors have the privilege of doing. Here comes Charlie, the senior class play was a great success. One has now come to the last page of the history of the Class of 1940. It is full of write- ups about the commencement sermon by Dr. John A. Redhead. Jr.. our senior breakfast, our class day. and the day of all days. our graduation day. As we close the Memory Book we have the feeling that the five most eventful years of our lives have been spent at Harding. HELEN NORRIS. Class Historian. Page Sixlecn HARDING HIGH SCHOOL rP,.'
