Qlilass Jiatsturp Way back in the year '45, Before this age of Bop and Jive, Some green eighth-graders entered this school And immediately started to play the fool. By the next September of '46, We were full-fledged freshmen--all 106. With Algebra in the morning and history at noon, It really was enough to make us swoon. Our oflicers we had chosen without any painsg They were: Sarah Hunt, Faye Conn, and Billy Raines By our Sophomore year we were going strong As waiters and waitresses for the Junior-Senior Prom. Under Watkins, Vaughan, Dixon, and Conn, Our work we continued to carry on. 48-'49 was our Junior year: About our activities you must hear. Our Junior-Senior Prom carried out a Dutch theme, And our play, Just Ducky, was really a scream. The Student Council Congress met over here, And we also had a day to plan our career. As head of the student body we elected Pete, And Overton will always be hard to beat. Our ofticers were able, cooperative, too: They follow below-listen, will you? Freeman and Williams were two of the best, While Dixon and Robinson made up the rest Our sponsors were Baskett, Edwards, and Coley, Whom we thank for their efforts with a class so unruly. At last we were Seniors in all of our glory, And here I will try to tell you our story. To start on' with sports, we were champs of Class And even went to Florida in order to play, Our superlatives were elected: outstanding they were, For we had a special place for each him and each her.' Gur trip to Washington was quite a success, As was our class play and all the rest. The Junior-Senior Prom was that of which to boast, And to our successors we would like to give a toast. A senior class should always study and learn. We did, since our sponsors were Edwards, Coley, and Shearin. At last it is Class Day held in our honor, With graduation exercises just around the corner. Our hearts are heavy that this is the last: From now on our school days will be in the past. Goodbye! Farewell to H. H. S. The Eve years we've spent here have been the best: To our dear Alma Mater, we leave all our love. And a future as bright as the stars abovc. JOHN CRAWLEY, Historian 20
