The Class of 741-O The Class of '40 is different. they say. But though in size we are not great, From all the others in many ways. We never hesitate to State First, we could have left Hugh Morson High The show weiye put on as we labored here But preferred to let another year by Will set a high mark for many a yearg Before departing from its classic doors, And when other circuses come this Way, Leaving its halls forever more. The faculty will recall our dav. 4 Then. in numbers small we may beg And out into life as we do go. But others may our glories see We'll pay to Hugh Morson the debt we owe, Who follow us in years ahead And on into the future years And seek our worn paths to tread. Weill hold her morals and precepts dear. GORDON LYNCH History of the Senior Class Ever since. we. the Seniors. entered Hugh Morson six years ago we have been on a merry- go-round. As sub-freslnnen we asked Mrs. Morrow to be our adviser and ride the lion, the king of the beasts. When the music started. we began our work and elected our officers. We chose blue and silver as our colors, the gladiolus as our flower. and 4fWe can still do betterf, as our motto. When the merry-go-round gathered speed as well as many newcomers, we had become freshmen. Miss Laura Bell and Miss Nancy Beddingfield held the reins for us this year. We elected Hugh Marr as president. Myrtle Brown as vice president. Ruth Brown as secretary, and Sally Beal as treasurer. Hugh soon left for preparatory school, and Myrtle Brown took over as president. The merry-go-round broke down. But during the summer our merry-go-round was remodeled. Mr. Claude F. Caddy Was our new operator while Mr. George H. Arnold was our new conductor. Our officers that year were: president. Harriet Jones, vice president. Nancy Fordg secretary. Mildred Lewisg treasurer. Lydia Stronach. We had two socials. a picnic and a dance. The merry-go-round continued its circular way the following year. We became Juniors. Our advisers that year were Mrs. Morrison and Miss Leah Godwin. We elected as our presi- dent, Billy Williamsong vice president. Kathleen Thompsong secretary, Mildred Lewis, and treasurer, Charles Mims. We gave a banquet for the seniors. We had begun to get that ffupper- classmanii feeling and to look down on underclassmen. Another summer came and went. For four years we had been riding the merry-go- round, but all that time we had been striving to reach one goal-graduation. At last we were Seniors. We rode proudly, with our heads thrown back and our eyes on the future out of which came the supplement. This meant an additional year to many of our high school ca- reers. Uur class officers were: president, Frank Turkal. vice president, John Millsg secretary, Margaret Honeycuttg treasurer, Mary Alice Moore. The editor of our annual was Edward Murray. We celebrated Senior week, which opened with a banquet. It was followed by a tea and a tea dance and closed with the Senior Play, ML Pim Passes Byf' The play was di- rected by Miss Marian Hartshorn. At the close of the year when the merry-go-round stopped, many people got offg but some were having so much fun that they stayed on for just one more ride. This year has been an enjoyable and full one. We elected as our officers: president, Billy Williamsong vice president. John Lumsdeng secretary, Kathryn Cunninghamg and treas- urer. Charles Minis. We voted to have a yearbook of which Afton Daniels is editor, Mar- garet Parker, business managerg Mildred Jennette, advertising editorg Ruth Olmstead feature editor, and Jack Field. photographer. We gave our Senior Play, Peg ,O My Heart, directed by Mr. John Paul Nickell. A senior chapel, HAntic Springf, was also directed by Mr. Nickell. We have had several socials. among which were a steak fry, a party, and two dances ill the gym after school. Yve are looking forward to Senior Week, Class Night, and graduation. The merry-go-round is slowly stopping. ln a very short time it will have ceased to rotate, and we will all be looking for another ride, but none could be so enjoyable as the old merry- go-round. - 24,
