35 CLASS HISTORY—Continued Our negative debating team is entered in the State Contest in Charlottesville, having won in the district at Richmond. Our boy reader was also sent to Charlottesville. The Athletic Association was very successful this year. We won many victories in the various branches. Many football and basketball games were won, and we hope this will be a re¬ cord year in athletics. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to all our teachers, especially this year’s Home-Room teachers, who are Mrs. Dorey, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Smith; for their whole¬ hearted aid and assistance. We also wish t o thank Miss Burch and Mr. Mallonee, and each teacher in the faculty for their cheerful assistance in our glorious ascent through high school. We are working very hard to make a success of our Senior Play, “Miss Cherryblossom.” This is an operetta, in which nearly all the Senior Class is represented. With the aid of Miss Lazenby and Mr. Smith, we hope to run the play for two nights. This year we are very proud to be the class with the high¬ est grades ever made by one student for four consecutive years. The whole class has one of the highest averages attained in the history of this school. We are at the very peak of our High School career and very soon we march forward into the days beyond, into our many, varied futures. —BETH ARCHER BARNARD. liltllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page twelve
