History Ulf The Class Ulf 1941 Now as the class of '41 draws so near to graduation it seems a long way back to those days in 1930 when we were timid little first graders in Miss Erickmann's room. Remember those demerits she used to give? As we passed from grade to grade there were Miss Brown and her circus, Miss Speigner and her spelling, Mrs. Aarrowsmith and her notebooks, and Miss Edwards and her geography. In the sixth grade we had our first ex- perience in departmental work. Miss McDaniel taught us drawing, Miss Reynlplds, Math, Miss Edwards and Mr. Godbold held numerous spelling matc es. In 1936 we came up to high school to enter the seventh grade. That year Miss Louise, Miss Susie and Miss Harley were our teachers. With the use of cold cream and cocoa we became make-believe Indians in Hiawatha, an operetta presented by Miss Louise. The next year we were real high school students. VVe continued to climb from class to class. There was science from Miss Swails, math from Mr. Pierce, Mr. Rampey and Miss Crook, history from Miss Crockett, Latin and English from Miss Forrest, French from Miss Roberts, home economics from Miss Oosterbann, physical education from Mr. Welch, commerce and choir from Mr. Sherfey, shop and diversied occupations from Mr. Darby, music from Miss Daugherty, Miss Drumwright and Mr. Middleton, agricul- ture from Dr. Doar and Mr. Creel, and English from Mr. Montgomery. Miss Patterson was our librarian and advisor for the annual. This class has had stars on our football, baseball and basketball teams so ably coached by Mr. Pierce, Mr. Welch, Mr. Coker and Miss McClure. VVe've had a band to be proud of. Through our high school years Mr. White, our highly esteemed super- intendent, who succeeded Mr. Swittenberg in 1935, and Mr. Montgomery, our beloved principal, have always seemed so willing to help us. And so may this entire class remember these happy days which are so valuable to us. May we use our abilities as we should and may we bring honor to our school. Page Fourlcen
