Logan High School - Voice Yearbook (Concord, NC)

Our foregoing years, which seem to have had no start, no life, and no ending, suddenly developed into the best years of our lives. That was when we reached High School. We were always on top, and striving hard to keep it that way. Often we would sink below our goal, but would never rest until we replaced it. Four years ago, we had the largest class in High School. We practically covered the entire High School Department. A number of ninety-five (95) pupils, striving hard to overcome the difficulties of being freshmen. Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Banner, (our homeroom teachers), who so nobly, pleaded and sympathized with us throughout the school year, set us on our right path in our High School career. Mr. Banner and Miss Rutledge were our tenth grade teachers. Under their supervision, we came very close to winning ‘Miss Tigerette’ and ‘Miss Logan.’ By this time our number of students had dropped to a total of about seventy -five (75). Although this decrease seems strange, even then we still had a large class. Our hardest working years, and most talked about years were our last year, and third year in High School. Miss Jones (our eleventh grade homeroom teacher) gave us our first lessons in how to stick together and work as a team. She was so successful in her teaching this to us that we practically won every enterprise which took place at Logan High School. After winning ‘Miss Tigerette’ , Mr. James gave us a one -day Holiday for our splendid achievement in winning this recognition. This was the year in which we were to give the Seniors a Prom. This, we worked hard for until the last minute. How proud we were when we discovered that we had put this enterprise over in such a large way, that everyone who attended it would never forget it. We are now in our final year. With our wonderful President (John W. Cave) and Miss Rutledge (our homeroom teacher), we have successfully won ‘Miss Tigerette’, practically doubling the highest class next to us. We surprised every- one. We even surprised ourselves, because we were the only Senior Class that had won ‘Miss Tigerette’. It took hard work on the part of the winner, Miss Sarah Miller, to put across this project, knowing too that we had to sponsor our yearbooks and other projects, but with our faithful and dependent Class, we did so. We love this year best of all of our high school years. Now we feel that we have climbed successfully to the last step of the ladder. Falling now and then we grasp our- selves and begin again. Now we are up there, looking down at the hard struggles we came through, to make our school proud of us, that others may see our light and follow in our footsteps, while others will follow in theirs, because that is how the world should be.
