THE HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS What was the Hargrave Class of 1942 like? Well, I'll tell you, son, I don't suppose it was any different from theipreceding classes, but each of us is prone to think his class is best. I am no exception to that rule. Bring me the '42 annual, my boy, and I'l1 give you a resume of our activities leading up to that crowning year-senior year at Hargravel Wide-eyed, unassuming freshmen, the great class of '-1-2 entered the portals of Hargrave keenly desirous to learn anything such a notable institution would advocate. The first and hardest lesson was obedience to upperclassmen. It was not an uncommon picture to see a poor, defenseless fresh- man turning over a prize cake just sent from his mother's own kitchen to a relentless, greedy junior or senior. But in time we learned to console ourselves by saying, Ah, just wait until we get to be seniors lu That was the one fantastic dream, the dominant aim of each and every freshman. Those Hrst few weeks and months seemed an agonizing succession of bugle blasts, difficult class- es, tours, and reprimands. VVe were mixed-up at every turn-especially were our feet mixed-up dur- ing those preliminary drills. But gradually the light of knowledge dawned upon our horizon and we caught on. From that time forward prep school life was tops, and Hargrave had established its shrine in our hearts. VVe developed a love and loyalty for every phase of life at Hargrave. The variety of subjects offered could have made intellectual giants of us had we so applied ourselves. Then, for those not so studiously inclined there was the athletic aspect, giving future Jack Dempseysu an opportunity for keen competition. On the other hand, social-minded cadets found ample expression of their interests in the S. O. S. Club. Lastly, the most important, was the religious emphasis on the camp- us. Every boy was challenged to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. So you see, sonny, no phase was neglected. NVe were encouraged to grow mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Three Septembers came and went. First we were insignificant freshmen, then gradually through many hard knocks, we distinguished ourselves as sophomores and juniors. By that time we were ready to believe implicitly the old Hindoo saying: There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. Yes, for the most part, we had grown as Jesus grew- in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. Then the gods ushered in the September of Septembers, delegating to us as dignified, self- respecting, senior cadets the responsibility of writing our last chapter upon the walls of memory in our cherished Alma Mater! Son, never shall I forget that senior year at Hargrave. True, there was the same old routine of reveille, chapel services, classes, drills, meals, study halls, and taps, but somehow the fact that it is your senior year makes a difference. A great many of us found ourselves involved in too many activities, such as glee club, athletics, religious organizations, and social clubs. Consequently, we had to learn with Socrates: It is better to do a little well than a great deal badly. In the twinkle of an eye the dreaded final exams were over, and graduation day loomed before us with all its pomp and circumstance. It was as though we of the senior class stood on a hilltop overlooking the world about our feet! There it is, son-the history of my class. Now you are conscious of the life that awaits you as you step across Hargrave's threshold. May you treasure each hour of each day as an intangible jewel. tucking each one carefully away into your heart. My son, I pass the Torch to you. God grant you the ability to carry it with the dignity and self-assurance of a true Hargrave man! WILLIE LEE WATLINGTON, Class Historian. 29
