Whalwfwfpzhwen S wi IN September, 1939, a shy and-as our superiors thought-a very ignorant Freshman Class stumbled across Cleveland Avenue to that mysterious building-High School! We were divided into two groups, one led by Miss Margaret Farrar and the other by Miss Lucille Gillespie, the former elected Billy joe Franklin as president, and the latter, Mary Mason Mills. In the spring, we moved into the new High School building where we completed our Fresh- man year. The following fall, we lost both of our sponsors, Miss Farrar, to an out-of-town school, and Miss Gillespie to the junior I-Iigh. Although we were sorry to lose them, we welcomed Miss Wray and Mr. Burnett who have been with us ever since. When we elected the class officers this year, Fred Rush and ' 'Dupen Hollifield were chosen as presidents. We have been in High School only a short time, but the schools attention has been Ear ' J as --.ge e fd-59431. -Q-d.. 5 - , A 'meage- MISS WRAY'S ROOM l Lipford, Love- Z 540 all Mace, Newman, GNJQ7 2' Pace, Prillaman, ,sax-ff QIH Rush, Smith, Tut- ' ' A tle, Weaver, Whit- ZQL? ad, ne, wood, Mc- N Cullough, D.

We think they had better speak for them- selves-let's see what they have to say: That day in january, a smaller class of Freshmen followed the one which had entered in the fall, a class not so shy as the other. It was midterm and with the confusion of report cards, we thought we might slip in unnoticed, but we misjudged our upper classmen! Miss Miller was our home-room teacher that semester, and she helped us build up our class with Earl Simpson as president, who still holds the same ofhce. When we entered the new building, Miss Miller needed almost all

OW time did fly-it is really quite hard to realize that we are now juniors, and no longer have to look up to older classmen as we did in the fall of '38 when, we as Freshmen, meekly marched into high school-a place which we had dreamed of for so long a time. We were placed in Mrs. Ramsey's homeroom but before we knew it, our thoughts turned to electing officers to start our high school years united. We chose Norman Schriebfeder as our president, and spent our first year in the unwise use of valuable time, however, all through the year, many little facts and incidents were safely tucked away in the corners of our minds. When we reached the Wise Fools era, Miss Ellett became our leader, and we got down to a little serious work. Norman was elected president, and Ruth Groves, vice president, With becoming sophomores came the superior feeling towards those pitiful ..,,26iMg 5 y o A v i,l,!?i4 sb rl ' ff.
