If X X CLASS-HISTORY 3 ay To relate in detail the History of tho class of 1942 ' would be to write a long, long book-. Indeed, our career g E2 1.V, through High School has been marked by various accom- x plishments and achievements, various failures and defeats, N but through it all we come, smiling at the thoughts of '- , our success, and sad at the thoughts of farewell. 'i V In the fall of 1958 a happy-go-lucky band of non- Verdantn Q as we supposedl boys and girls entered High School. We were guided through our struggles of Fresh- I mm, life by Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Warlick, Miss Puckett, Mr. V of Pittman, and Mr. Colvard. Our first year of High School i 1 life was one of keg-:nest pleasure and joy. So rapt were wo in the thrill of being in High School that no thought 1 of bein! green flashed in our minds. Nevertheless, as 1 1 the year neared its close every Freshie was joyously 'x . ,awaiting his Sophomore ranking. In the fall of 1939 we happily entered our Sophomore if v year. Our class was indeed an exception for it never up bore out the traditional meaning of the word, Sophomore . ' Our instructors this year were: Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Warlielc, f X Mr. Pittman., and Mr.. Colvard. Mr. Pittman was our home- '- room teacher and Ruth Mae Phillips was the class secretary and treasurer. We enjoyed a party given for us in the gymnasium in the early spring. As we entered our Junior . year many exciting things awaited us. Our teachers were ' Q Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Warlick, Mr. Pittmang Mr. Goodman, the 5 new agricultureteacher and Miss Anderson, teacher of X Home Economics, a subj ect which was added to our school Q that year. Our class officers were: president, Neal Nelsong vice-president, Dori s Alexander: secretary, S Mary Hunt: and treasurer, Vivian Funderburk. 1 f One notable event of this year's activities and one f which is a pleasant memory was the Junior-Senior Banquet given March 28, l94l at the S dc W Cafeteria in Charlotte, S North Carolina. -- Activities of every sort crowded this year and it A 5 sped by all too swiftly. ' Finally came that day of days for which we had striven four long, long years--the day on which we were ' officially called Seniors, wise, experienced, dignified ff 5 Seniors! We were really on the last rung of our ladder. ,,,,. . ..,-rev.---...s,?-.1,,,??g 1 'xi 59 e 4.
