This ' group was organized to create an interest for girls and to encourage them to live according to the high ideals of life. It has undoubtedly been success- ful in doing so for many years. There are groups of Girl Reserves dis- tributed throughout the entire world. Letters of correspondence are exchanged, thus broadening their scope of knowledge as to the activities of girls of other na- tions’. The sponsor of this group is Miss Ruth Johnson, a very diligent young woman. The officers are as follows: MEMBERS Louise M. Johnson, Bernice Hill, Mar- celine Jones, Marcella Ray, Mary New- some, Zadell Collins, Arzell Covington, Gertrude Huff, Bessie Shelby, Juanita Kidd, Thelma Jones, Marjorie Beck, Brooksie Canady, Fannie Anderson, Es- telle Williams, Anna Lee Harkless, Lu- cille Buford, Ollie Wood, Muriel Wil- liams.

CLASS HISTORY— (Continued) And it also happened that a certain great judge spake unto the class ' : “Go gather together paper and pencils and bottles of ink, and write what will be at least three thousand words !” And it will be called a ‘Term Paper’, and it must contain at least three thousand words. And it was called a ‘Term Paper’, that must contain, was so. And behold it did likewise come to pass that a certain number of the class did reach a certain height, the highest in the Land of Learning known as the Honor Society. They were these: Clif- ton Miller, Major; Freddie Pierce, Spon- sor Major, the Captains of which are Odell Zachary, Company C; Norris Mc- Coy, Company B; Lester Chung, Com- pany C; Albert Marshall, Company D. The honorary captains of which are Es- sie Garrett, Company A; Mary New- som, Company B; Geneva Whitley, Com- pany C; Estelle Williams, Company D. So it has come to pass that of the six hundred twenty-five that entered this land in one and thirty, only one hundred seventy will depart. For verily, verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate that leadeth to High School, and many, there be that go in thereat; but straight is ' the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the class of four and thirty sojourned in the land, and gath- ered in large portions from the tree of knowledge. Now, I say unto you, they must depart thence, to go each a sepa- rate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. JUANITA KIDD ’34. Page Nineteen
