Senior (£lass Hietnry As I briefly review the four years that form the history of the class of ’ 25. I can think of no great deeds that we have done, no unusual things accomplished. The things which have helped to make our history are not of vast importance. As a band of green little “fresh ies. fifty-four strong, thirty-four girls and sixteen boys, we came to Hartsville High School in September 10 21. This was the largest class ever welcomed at the doors of the II. II. S., and excelled, not only in quantity, but also in quality. The superiority of this class was recognized by every one from the first day. At the very beginning the athletic fields attracted our attention. During the year the Freshman Class overcame every other class in girls basketball. From what we did at the first we were inclined to believe that the champions had better look closely after their hard-won honors. In our Freshman year we were the worthy students of a faculty of six much accomplished members, all of whom we became very much attached and loyal to. As Freshmen we looked forward to our Sophomore year with eager expectation. Then we would no longer be called “a green little Freshie” or “a rat. In fact we would be able to give those “much revered' names to some one else. When we returned to H. H. S. our band had decreased to the number of fifty-one. We had lost eight and picked up five. During the year we lost two more of the class. One of these preferred the “troubled waters of matrimony rather than the “calm sea of education. We were old students and enjoyed to the utmost displaying our knowledge by telling the new pupils what they should and should not do. Nothing of vast importance took place during the year. Our class was well represented in athletics and took active parts on Literary Society programs. During our Sophomore year our faculty was composed of eight members. Two of our former teachers had left and in their places there entered, with the Sophs, four new ones. At the beginning of our Junior year, our band had decreased to about forty-nine. During the year some were lost and others picked up to fill their places. Another one of our class had ventured on the seas of matrimony. The fact that we were Juniors prepared every one to be on the lookout for signs of great achievements. Our class stood high in the organizations of (he school. Members from our class were in athletic fields and on the staff of “The Megaphone, our school paper, which was published for the first time that year. Others of our band were meml ers of the Student Council and of the Glee Club. That year the Girls Basketball team won the Lower State Championship. Special features of the year were the Glee Club Contest, the State High School Debate, the Declamation and Expression Contest, and especially tin Junior-Senior reception. 21
