CLASS HISTORY On Monday, September 16, 1935, two hundred and forty-seven boys and girls registered as Freshmen in Leaksville High School and several days later they embarked upon their careers as high sc hool students. Fearlessly they shouldered their burdens and plunged forward. They were happy, so happy, in fact, that their teachers some- times had difficulty in keeping their joy silent. After several months of hard study they elected as their president Conrad Shinn, who proved himself to be a capable leader. Despite the fact that there is a big jump from the grammar grades to high school, no subject except Latin gave them any trouble. They surmounted all other obstacles with ease and soon found their first year in high school at an end. Only one hundred and eighty-six members of the class returned to resume their studies in the fall of 1936. Again they needed a leader and this time Margaret Little was chosen to be the chief executive of the class. This year many girls of the class became Home Economics students and both the girls and boys became active in the various clubs and organizations. Some even showed promise of becoming leading athletes in the school. Caesar again counted his annual toll and left many stranded by the wayside. As the year rapidly drew to a finish every member felt himself to be a veteran in the quest for education. When the class returned to school in the fall of 1937, it found that still more of its members had dropped from the ranks. Only one hundred and fifty-nine of the original number remained. This year turned out to be a year in which everyone had to work hard, but yet it was full of fun and play. The president of the class was Lee Siler, who in his efficient manner supervised one of the best Junior-Senior banquets ever ' given in Leaksville High School. The class also became more active in school activities, making several valuable contributions to the athletic teams. The whole class experienced a happy and successful year. It had been such a happy year that everyone was somewhat sad when Commencement rolled around bringing an end to the year. In September, 193 8, one hundred and thirty-seven returned to enjoy the fruits of their three years of labor. These few who were left were dignified Seniors and they were determined to achieve even greater things. Under the leadership of John Hodges they forged on into the realms of knowledge. The class rings arrived in January and they further strengthened the bond that bound the Seniors to dear old Leaksville High. In March Conrad Shinn was elected Editor-in-Chief of the Annual and immediately the class was plunged into the preparation of their yearbook. At the same time the class began looking forward to and making plans for their Commencement. Thus comes to an end their experiences in high school. The way was sometimes rocky and steep, but yet every member of the class of 1939 will always remember these years in Leaksville High as the happiest years in his life. 1 Kenneth Thomas. -4 25 }■ •- Belk-Cline Company
