H. S. in September with high spirits in spite of the fact that staring us in the face was what former students call the most difficult year in high school, with such subjects as Historyll, Latin II, and Algebra II. Final exams sent some of us back to the Freshman Class, but we gained new classmates from the Juniors by the same route. At the beginning of the year, the class elected William Fitzpatrick as its president, and Peggy Alphin and William Magee as members of the Executive Committee, in December we collaborated with the Seniors to issue the first copy of the Echo. Soon came Christmas and the longest holiday of the school year, but when we returned, we walked “into the jaws of death,” for waiting at the door was the dreaded demon, examina- tions. The “weeping wall” was patronized constantly for a week, but then back came the smiles. Another six weeks of hard (?) work and our efforts were rewarded by the appearance of reports; in fact, many were made more attractive by the addition of a few red lines. March arrived and while we watched and laughed. Seniors hurried around writing theses. Another fine holiday, Easter, has come and gone, and we now have only our final examinations barring the way to the Junior Class. — Stanton Blain Page Twenty-Eight - The 1940 Crystal

H. S. When we were freshmen the Home Economics Department was started under Miss Dunlap. Dances were held in our own gym. Our Soph- omore year rolled by with a few additions such as: Manual Training installed; the Echo revived; and two new teachers, Mr. Lynch, head of the Manual Training Department, and Mr. Brewbaker, teacher and ath- letic coach. That same year we were all puffed with pride to have Forrest Walker, George Macheras and John Faison as players from our class on our first undefeated football team. This year has not been especially eventful except for the installation of the loud-speaking system. We hope to carry on the traditions of the class before us by giving a Junior-Senior Prom at the end of year. — Koonah Kidd The 1940 Crystal - Page Twenty-Seven

As time went on, however, we became accustomed to our school life and various activities and settled down to a regular routine. Some joined the Library Committee, some went out for the different sports, and still others were appointed to the Echo Staff or contributed to it. Our class gave a program in assembly on poetry. The seniors reached the conclusion that the ignorant little freshmen should be taught several things about the Constitution, so they organized a Freshman Committee and gave several assemblies for us. We learned quite a bit and profited by this undertaking. We had a member on the Girls ' Basketball Squad and one on the Varsity Football Squad, who received monograms.
