i9eIIutn Zatket beninr Clilass ilaistnrp In the fall of 1934 sixty-six maids and pages assembled at Landis High School with the ambition to become knights and ladies. VVe knew there was a hard struggle and much work ahead of us before we could reach our goal, but with great determination we began our climb from pages to knights. That seemed like a large class then. VV e were very meek and good for the first few weeks, or most of us were, because the high and mighty sophomores had promised to initiate us. I suppose we seemed very green to the rest of the High School, but we learned quickly and were not so still and studious as we had been at first. VVe elected as our president, J. L. Sloop, vice-president, Franklin VVilliams. secretary and treasurer, Ramelle Liles. The next Year we came back, sophomores! Quite a few had dropped out. Perhaps they didn't know how much fun we were going to have that year. Vlfe were braver still, and in the spring of that year we had our first party. This made us still more important. For our class officers we had Franklin VVilliams, pres- ident, J. L. Sloop, vice-president, and Mary Katherine I-Iinceman, secretary and treasurer. In the fall of 1936 forty-three of us were back to take the name of jolly juniors. The hrst thing we did was to begin our junior play. After three weeks of hard work Cpracticing a play was harder than we had thought it would bel we gave Crashing Societyn. Of course 1 thought it was good. Then it took much work and many worries to make more money to give the seniors a banquet. Finally, on March 19. 1937. we entertained them at the Concord Hotel with a trip to Ireland and afterwards took them to the show. VVe then began practice for the class day program and we were busy till school closed. This didn't give us much time to think of mischief. W'e had again as our president, Franklin W'il- liams, vice-president, I. L. Sloop. secretary, Helen Deal and treasurer, Della Mae Alexander. Our class advisers were Miss Black and Miss Earnhardt. XV hen we began O111' senior year in the fall of '37, there were only thirty-seven of us to reach the final stage in working toward our goal of becoming knights and ladies. James Bostian joined our group. I don't know why so many had dropped out. A few had married since our freshman year, some moved away, others became disgusted, and some must have inherited a fortune or something. This year we elected as president, Johnnie Beaver, vice-president, Harding Dial, secretary and treasurer, Franklin Williams. Our helpful and patient class adviser was Miss Burge. The staff for the annual was announced and many of our class had hard work to do to make it a success. The second volume of THE YELLOW JACKET won second place in the 1937 Southern Interscholastic Press Association. ln the fall we selected our rings: this made us full-fledged seniors. Then we began to sell magazines. Soon after this the cast for the senior play was announced and we began to work on our play. just before Christmas we gave The King Rides Ry. On Saturday. February 12. 1938. the juniors entertained us at a banquet at the Yaclkin Hotel in Salisbury. It was a night to be remembered. Then came commencement-we had at last reached our goal. Now true knights and ladies. as we go out into the world. we hope to make others realize the importance of education. Instead of a sword as our reward, we have received our diplomas. Now we can face the world as true knights. -EVELYN SMITH Class Historian 1 9 3 8 Page Thirteen
