The l938 Freshman class of Lincolnton High School was indeed a motley assemblage of individuals. And it is a safe conclusion to draw that they felt as unnecessary and out-of-place as they looked. But events happened in rapid succession and it was not long until these students knew that they too were a part of the makeup of l-. H. S. However, to make the reader think that we remained in this state of un- sophistication would be to mislead him. For a while our ignorance was bliss, but ere long we discovered that to be ignorant-especially as a Sophomore- was no longer bliss, but blisters on our anatomy. Teachers came and went. We lost Coach Block Smith to Guilford and Misses Yoder, Mauney, Ciamble. and McClain to matrimony. All the while we were learning the fundamentals of education and life. We passed English, completed algebra, had a good year in athletics. The year had been a prosperous one. The Junior year was the most exciting yet. For the first time in what seemed ages and ages. we had a Junior-Senior banquet. Everyone helped. Yet we heard many rumors: lt can't be done. lt can't be done. But it was done. And successful? Just ask any Junior, Senior. teacher or invited guest at the banquet. And we as Juniors did what couldn't be done. Then some- time in the spring of '-PO we dropped the name of Juniors and took on the title of Rising Seniors. At last, September ll, 1940 saw us assembled for the first time as the Senior Class of l-. H. S. We were no longer scared, green or quite as carefree as we had been before. ln a lapse of three months we had taken on the dignity of every Senior Class that preceded us. This year was our busiest and happiest one. Electing oHicers. buying rings. selecting invitations, having pictures made, and preparing the '-ll PINE BURR kept us occupied for the whole year. This year, too, saw many changes. Mr. Wiley Pickens, long our very able superin- tendent and friend. resigned to give his services to his country. Mr. Lowder succeeded him and Miss Hoke was made principal. Student Government grew stronger. School dances were originated and one chapel program a week was set aside for student activities, presided over by the students themselves. Now we are graduating. From the sheltered halls and class rooms of L. H. S. we must go out into a world that is faced with a crisis unequaled in the history of man. But our motto now as it has been for the past four years and will continue to be is ONWARD. Etsiii Maia SUMMIQY. Class Historian. Page if ulen I Ll
