5 THE DART, 1926 i5Q..q L- Senior Class History Cn the fourth day of September l922, forty-two boys and girls entered into a new life-that of the high school. As Freshmen we chose as cgir class advisors, Miss Nell Neel, Miss Pearl Noel, and Mr. D. F. Collins. Organizing our class, we chose as President, Karl VVilsong Vice-President, Katherine McNeerg Secretary-Treasurer, Newman Faulconer. A very appropriate motto, 'tGreen but Growing, was chosen. Our class colors were green and yellow and the class flower the yellow chrysanthemum. During our Freshman year many successful parties were enjoyed by all. At mid-year thirty new members joined our class. In September of '23 we again assembled in the old study hall, no longer as Freshies, but as Sophomores. At our first class meeting Miss Strother, Miss Neel and Mr. Collins were chosen as our class advisors. This year our class President was Melton Bean: Vice-President, Valeria Scott and Secretary-Treasurer, Ola Frazier. VVe selected as our motto, Non scholae, sed vitae discimusf' Our class colors were gold and blue and our flower the blue violet. During our Sophomore year a number of parties and hikes were enjoyed by everyone. The following September we again resumed our studies not as Sophomores but as self-important Juniors. Our class advisors this year were Miss Lula Noel and Mr. Litsinger. With Andrew Timberlake as President: Dorothy Daly as Vice-Presidentg Virginia Garvy as Secretary and Anna Laura VV aid as Treasur- er, our Junior year was very successful. This year many good times were enjoyed. The most important event of the year was the Junior-Senior party which was held at the Pence Springs Hotel. In September of l25 we again entered the old H. H. S. for the last and best year of our school life. NVe began to realize that our dear old school days in the H. H. S. would soon be ended. At our first business meeting we selected as our President, Frank Alleng as Vice-President, Thelma Lawrenceg and as Secretary-Treasurer, Anna Laura Waitl. VVe selected the same motto we had in our junior year, Non scholze, sed vitae CllSCl1'l1L1S,H as our Senior motto and our class colors red and white. VVe chose as our class advisors this year, Miss Noel, Miss V annoy and Mr. Litsinger. After much discussion we chose the local Kiwanis Club as our sponsors. Much to our satisfaction they accepted. On the night of December 14, we were given a delightful banquet by our sponsors. The big event of the year was the Senior play, The Charm School , which was a great success. Now that our High School days are coming nearer to the end we have a feeling of sadness rather than joy because we realize that our dear old school days are the happiest and shortest days of life, and that they are gone never to return.
