HOLT HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY On September 12, 1933, the plane High School landed in Holt. We stepped aboard to begin our journey to the town, Senior Year. Our pilot was Mr. H. L. Nipper, with Miss Sadie Bell Johnson, Mrs. H. L. Nipper, Mr. James Gates, Miss Rose McKenzie, Mrs. E. L. Asbury, and Miss Edith Pool as co-pilots. We were over joyed at being high school students. The journey was often rugged, but in May, 1934, we landed at the city, Junior II. In September of that same year, we again chartered the plane to continue our journey. Mr. Nipper, with his same crew and two additional co-pilots-Mr. George Camp and Mr. M. H. Sherer--continued to guide our plane. We lost Glen Ryan, Jeanne Tyson, and Imogene Winchester, three members of our party, during this year. In spite of the many clouds and other flying hazards, we made a success- ful landing in the Junior III City on the 24th of May, 1935. Again came September, the month when all such expeditions begin. We chartered our same plane, but the crew was not as the year before. Mr. N. F. Nunnelley became our pilot while Mr. Nipper assumed duties elsewhere. Mrs. M. H. Wilbourne, Miss Adell Clements, and Miss Dorothy Atkinson took their places on the staff of our plane. Erma Gray Hogue, one of our passengers, was not among our band as we started this yearg newcomers, however, were Maudell Bryant, David Wurm, Opal Smith, and Hobson Chandler. During the year we were sorry to lose, through illness, another one of our members, James Cowan. As the year passed we became very happy for it meant we were half way to the great city Senior Year. Our plane landed and each of us carried a diploma stating that we had successfully passed through the Junior Cities. With high hopes and determination we renewed our voyage on September 14, 1936. No longer were we classed as mere passengers, but had attained the rank of sophomores. Mr. Nunnelley re- mained with us as head pilot, but we lost our former home-room teacher, Miss Clements. Miss John- son and Mr. Denton were added to the staff because of the many additional duties that needed to be performed. With the aid of Mr. Camp and Mrs. Asbury we struggled through the clouds of biology and algebra. This year Eva Pearl Hinkle boarded our plane a short time before mid-term. About the same time we lost another of our passengers, Maitland Knight, who left us to go to work. This year was made brighter by the coming of many good classmates from Alberta City. The fourth lap of our journey was completed and we landed with happy thoughts, for this meant we lacked only two more laps before we should have attained our goal. Mr. Nunnelley continued to pilot our plane as we took flight on September 13, 1937. His new assistants were Miss.Mary Louise Bell and Miss Alma Merle Pierson. This year, we losr another of our classmates, Alah Mae Darcey, who was transferred to Florida. Our number was not decreased, however, because newcomers to our class were Peggy Johnston, Bob Porter, Ella Stokes, and Elwood Martin. Our class spirit was at low ebbg but when Mr. Camp, our home-room teacher, reminded UI that we had only one more year to travel, it was renewedg and we left our plane in the spring of 1938 with high hopes for the coming year. September again! Could it really be that we had been promoted to the senior rank? While the engines were warming up we noticed two of our party were missing. By inquiring, we learned that Pat Brady, had left us to work, and Ella Stokes, to become Mrs. Farley. We were off! Was it really true that our next stop would bring us to our final destination? It seemed as if it were only a dream, but after nosing into sociology we realized that it was an actuality. Three additions to the crew were Miss Loutrelle McCall, Mrs. M. A. Taylor, and Mr. Raymond Christian. Miss Johnston and Miss Pierson had left the staff. Looking around we discovered the number of passengers had increased too. Newcomers to our ranks were Ray Boling, Bonnie Pearl Farris, Ralph Collins, Louise Johnson, George Jones, Ray Keene, Sterling Kizziah, Sally Sherer, Ruth Skelton, Lonita Smith, and Kathleen Williams. Alfter a few weeks sailing, Bob Porter left us to work and Maudell Bryant to become Mrs. M. I... C ristian. Our plane has landedg no longer can we travel in the plane High School, for it has reached the end of its journey. May we be successful as we board other planes that will carry us to various places in various fields of employment. BEATIICE PIITCHETT. of Thirty-nine Page Thirteen
