enior L tass OW many old times we have to talk over as this year closes! We recall that on September 1 , 1932, we approached our new training quarters, shy and apprehensive, like little wide-eyed, wobblekneed colts, fresh from romping in summer pastures. We shied away from those pestiferous Sophomores and stared with awe at passing Seniors. Our class officers that year were Grace Linton, president; Kathryn Neal, vice-president; Ann Fife, secretary; and Harrison Burgess, treasurer. Under the careful guid- ance of them and of our sponsor, Miss Florence Fleet (now Mrs. Francis G. Lankford, Jr.), we began to outgrow our “freshness” and to take part in school affairs. We even managed to get into the school clubs. At the end of May we looked forward almost joyously to the next school year. And then we were Sophomores! Gone forever was our timidity and our reverence for upper classmen. Now we held no one in awe; not even the most dignified of Seniors was free from our pranks and wisecracks. And did we enjoy the faculty play, The Whole Town’s Talking” ! Our class leaders that happy- go-lucky year were Barnard Dirzulaitis, president ; Middleton Freeman, vice-presi- dent ; Ann Fife, secretary; and Reuel Wiebel, treasurer. Our able sponsor was Mrs. Richmond Bell. We first became interested in football in 1934 when Lane won the State Championship. Such wild rejoicing! What an unforgettable year! At the beginning of our Junior year we put aside some of our Sophomore playfulness and, as became our rank, behaved a bit more sedately. Now we really felt that we were an essential part of the school. We were taking important places in athletics, school publications, club affairs, and other school activities. We choose as officers: Ann Fife, president; Barnard Dirzulaitis, vice-president; Sarah Buford, secretary; Guilford Acker, treasurer; and as sponsors, two very popular teachers, Miss Ada Lee Berrey and Mr. William Carter. Ah, Seniors at last! We could hardly believe it. How busy we have been this year with our various Senior activities! At our first class meeting we selected our new officers: Hamilton Smithey, president; Douglas Fife, vice-president; Crews Borden, secretary; Arthur Wood, treasurer; and our sponsors, Miss Sylvia Horwitz and Mr. H. H. Walker. We received the first real thrill of our Senior year when our rings and pins came. The pins especially made us proud because we were the first Senior class ever to have them. Our first dance added gaiety to our work early in the year. Soon thereafter came the Senior play, “The Girl From Child’s”, written by Archie Colby and A. G. Jackson. The play put us in just the right mood for the dance given after- wards. Later in the year we took advantage of the lovely spring weather to have the annual Senior picnic. And just for variety, we held a tea dance for Seniors only. On the practical side of affairs, Mr. Sulfridge arranged for a vocational guidance program to help us choose the trade or profession in which we were most interested. And then came that last exciting week, with the Senior banquet, the Senior dance, and that crowning moment of our whole four years of high school — graduation ! ! Jean Spicer, Class Historian.
