Twenty entor VISCO WISH Lary SEPTEMBER Sixty-four green freshmen assem- bied under one roof. The sight of us should have discouraged our class advisers, Miss Verna Mae Hahn and Mr. C. G. Farmer; but instead they took us under their wings and set- tled us to work. OCTOBER ended and we found ourselves an accepted part of the high school. Many of us had be- come members of various clubs and were really enjoying high school life. Initiation NOVEMBER We needed some class leader so we chose our officers. We selected Hattie Wright for president, Rachel Linn for vice-president, Norman Shue for secretary, and Elvie Mc- Creary for treasurer. DECEMBER This month was a mixture of joys and sorrows. We had our first high school exams and many of, us were ‘‘in red.’’ The Christmas holi- days didn't come before we needed them. Santa Claus was pretty good to us considering that we had to show our report card first. JANUARY We were only half green now. Hattie and Wayne had been making a name for themse!ves on the basket- ball court. FEBRUARY By now we were becoming fa- mous. We made headlines by taking the class trophy in athletics. This was the first time anyone gave us credit for much ability. MARCH “Beware the Ides of March’’ we schoo! was almost out and many of us were hanging We really did do some last minute cramming. were told. Yes, on the fence. great deal, but worn off the green. APRIL Vacation came, and we separated from our classmates for the summer. Perhaps we had not accomplished a least we have 1937 1936 SEPTEMBER Fifty-seven of us answered the ringing of the school bell. And what fun we had pointing a mocking finger at the host of ‘‘green fresh- men.’ Mrs. John Fox and Mr. C. G. Farmer were our advisers. OCTOBER Our sophomore officers were: Har- o!d Sechler, president; Lee Brown Sloope, vice-president; and Margaret Jane Alexander, secretary-treasurer. We were quite interested in our first school fair. NOVEMBER The old turkey had a hard time. We ‘‘married off’’ another English teacher. Maybe we should have charged for the privilege of teaching us English. DECEMBER Christmas time again and our interest in social activities began to grow. Why shouldn't we celebrate? Another set of exams had been fin- ished and we could wait another four months to ‘‘catch up’’ on our studying. JANUARY Our class seemed to be athletic- minded. The basketball team boasted the names of several of our boys and girls. FEBRUARY Our girls basketball team came out as county champions again this year. Various members of our class served as sponsors for the basketball tournament. This had come to be a happy occasion for all of us. MARCH We were really making a record for ourselves. Again we captured the cup for intermural athletics. APRIL “April showers bring forth May flowers.’’ So said someone. We were ready to look forward to being jolly juniors now. With this in mind we planned ta sponsor some shows dur- ing the summer in order that we might begin a much needed bank account, 1940

Soe Diary 1935-1939 OCTOBER We began seeking ways and means for financing our big event of the year, the junior-senior banquet. We found that this was easier said than done. SEPTEMBER Fifty-one jolly to begin what turned out year of much dispute and many arguments. Our officers were Lee Brown Sloope, president; Wayne Fleming, vice-president; Joe Roberts, secretary; and Herman Weaver, treas- urer. NOVEMBER Now we had established a real reputation for ourselves. Our third high school English teacher embarked upon the sea of matrimony. returned to be a juniors DECEMBER Basketball practice was well un- der way and our star athletes were making a name for themselves on our teams. Our class meetings were becoming famous for their long and heated arguments. The only thing we agreed on was that we didn't -agree with anybody. JANUARY Our bank account was growing slowly. We now had a real subject for debate; namely, where should the junior-senior banquet be held? We shed tears, made enemies, and lost friends over this. FEBRUARY Finally, the hotel-minded group won, and we went to Salisbury (by boat) to a very delightful junior- senior banquet. This was the first time we had a real dance following the banquet. To say we had fun is expressing it mildly. Mrs. Doron breathed a sigh of relief, MARCH For our first dramatic efforts we selected ‘‘Full of Youth.’ We didn’t have any Clark Gables, but at least we lived up to the title. APRIL Our grade parents honored us with a junior-senior prom. Com- mencement time rolled around again, We found ourselves gathering flowers for the daisy chains. Those hard- hearted seniors refused to weep. We hated to see them go but we were glad to look forward to taking their places next year. MOS IGANG, SEPTEMBER In all our senior dignity we re- turned to prove that we were capa- ble of filling our places as leaders of the student body. Norman Shue was our very capable president; Mar- garet Sloope, vice-president; Okla Butts, secretary; and Harold Sechler, treasurer, OCTOBER Hattie Wright and Wayne Flem- ing became very ‘‘business-minded’’ as they operated the store. We be- came magazine salesmen in order to increase our bank account. We are still waiting for that ice-cream sup- per which we were promised. NOVEMBER The members of the annual staff were announced. Some of them went to Washington and Lee University for the S.I.P.A. convention, and to our delight brought back the cup, first place award for our annual. DECEMBER We rushed the season and gave our senior play ‘‘Spring Fever.’’ Oh, well, according to our teachers we had a chronic case of that. Our rings finally came, and we felt our- selves a very select group now. They really were pretty. JANUARY Snow and more snow! We didn’t know we did like school so well until we had to take two snow vacations. Believe it or not, we had our Easter holidays in January. FEBRUARY The juniors entertained us royally with a banquet followed by a dance at Hotel Concord. Twas an occasion to be remembered by all of us. APRIL Those long awaited caps and gowns finally came out of hiding. We were really going to receive our “sheepskins.’” As we could not MARCH We needed some extra days in this month. Basketball tournament, last minute work on the annual, final book reports kept us so busy that we almost forgot that we had classes leave without leaving our best wishes to attend. to the underclassmen and faculty members for all the things they have done to make our high school days happy.
