Climaxing activities of the year, sober faced boys and tearful girls looked upon graduation breathlessly and a little willfully, for it gag hard to leave the dear old grammar scheol,of which we had so long been a part and enter an entirely new phase of life-the high scheel.Home room teachers were Mrs.Dan Ogletree,Mr. St. Elmo Powell and Mr.Lloyd Harris. Our class had no valedicterian nor salutatorian, for out of one hundred eleven graduating students, twenty seven were honor stu- dents. The honor students were:Carolyn Baldw1n,C.T. Beckham,Dorothy Nell Burlesem Belva Cerbitt, Wendell Densen, Marzelle Fields, Dorothy Ross Gibson, Christine Heath, Wanda Jean Henry, Truitt Jones, Wilma Jean Jones,Billie Kidd, Wayne Lawler, Billie Faye Leamen, Virginia Luker, Marianne McBride, Ted McCollum,Patr1cia Meech, Lorayne Morris, Dorothy Jane Nelson, Bill Nix, Bobbie Oates, Wilma Lee Robertson, Janet Rogers, Maurine Sharp, Jennie Muriel Smith, Jean Stanfield, and Biddy Whnm. Our first day in high school introduced devasting changes. How different to ge to the teacher's class, rather than have her come to ours! As lowly nslime,N we obeyed our superiors'.every whim, however hazing wasn't as rough as we had ex- pected, for some of it had been done away with. As Hprexyu of the Freshman class we elected Jennie Smith, Nvice-prexyu was Biddy White.Det Burleson and Tom Branon reigned as favorites. The Sophomore year was headed by R. E. Haggard as pres1dent,'Biddy White as vice-president, and Dorothy Ross Gibson as secretary-treasurer. Edgar Lee Hawkins and Dot Burleson were chosen as favorites. Jennie Smith was Sophomore nominee for Valentine Queen. Proudly we reached the mark ef upperclassmen as Juniors. Ted McCollum was chosen as president, Fannie Lee Jenes,vice-president, and Jennie Smith, secretary treasurer. Outstanding events of that year were the Junior Play, N Our Girlsn, which was a huge success and the Junior-Senior Banquet to which we had looked for- ward for so long. Jennie Smith and Bud Eudy were favorites. At last we are Seniors! All of those one hundred eleven graduating from gram- mar school have not remained with us due te various conditions. Despite these con- ditions, we feel that our class is the best--second to none. Bill Matlock holds the position of president, Pat Patterson, vice-president, and Fannie Lee Jones, secretary-treasurer. One of our own Seniors, Jennie Smith, was crowned Football Queen. Speedy Nieman is Best All-Round Boy and Jennie Smith, Best All-Round Girl. Biddy White and Bill Matlock reign as favorites. Several of our boys have distin- guished themselves in various sports, and we will long remember them. And now, we leave L.H.S. carrying fend memories which will remain with us forever. '
