1926 THE YELLOW JACKET 1926 president’s .Address Honorable Faculty, Classmates, and Friends:- We are gathered here as the graduating class of 1926 which will probably be the last time we will all be together on another occasion of this kind. We have been together for four long, yet short, years, in high school as students and classmates, struggling with arid mastering our work and we are now here to receive our reward. We have been together through pleasant, stormy and uncertain days and have shared our troubles, trials, disappointments and joys, which has drawn us close together in a cherished and happy bond of friendship and love for one another. This makes it hard for us to part and will cause a sigh or a tear when we shall look back over our high school days and think how happy and profitable they were spent and fully realize that we will never have the opportunity of going over them again. Though we miss our classmates who have dropped out from year to year yet we are proud for our own perseverance. We appreciate each other and Tmd joy in memory and hope for the future. The future suggests something different for each one of us. Some of us. no doubt, will take up the more sized tools of life and others an apprenticeship in the most thorough of all schools. Some will grow by filling what seems to be small places at home but the best work of our nation. We are as different pieces that go into the structure of a bridge that spans the great stream of life. At this time particularly while in our youthful and carefree days we are prone to think only of sunny skies and summer weather. While we appreciate and enjoy cloudless days, let us not forget that we owe ourselves, our fellow man. and our God. the care and protection of our health and strength. In fact, one can do nothing for us without our own intellectual alertness and earnest efforts to improve and use for his services those powers with which God has endowed us. Labor, love and faith will make for us a moral equipment upon which we can depend through a life of service. Y ;e as individuals and as a class owe a debt of appreciation, love, gratitude, honor and loyalty to our parents, our faculty, our school and our friends for the) have labored, sacrificed, encouraged and provided for us the necessities which have enabled us to be here tonight, one of the happiest occasions of our whole lives. Fellow classmates, it is impossible for me to express in words my feeling of appreciation and gratitude to you for electing me as president of your class. 11 has been a great pleasure and I shall always feel it a very distinct honor. Your help and kindness, your hearty co-operation and loyalty' have been greatly appreciated while serv ing you as president. Clyde Bailey. Class President. 26. Tarrnt 4hree

1926 THE YELLOW JACKET 1926 (I lass Ufistor? Four Years ago. one night, weak and ueary Thinking, thinking as walked the floor.’ And there came strangers tapping. Some one gently rapping, rapping at mv door. Who should it be but a gang of boys and girls, fourteen in number, who had completed grammar school at various places and were now on their way to enter as freshmen at McAdorv High. They said they needed another member in order to have a lively bunch and solicited my membership. Of course, I was delighted and was immediately initiated. The first year we were very shy but having been taught how to conduct our meek selves we were not so timid and began to lay a foundation for future life. We became so wise by the end of the year you could see brilliancy in every face. We were very ably guided this first year by Professor B. E. Lee. as principal. After a very happy vacation, we entered in September as Sophomores. This year with thirteen in number, having lost John Harmon an aspirer of electrfcity rather than a student. Professor H. H. King was principal during our second year. Another September brought us back as Juniors feeling as if we were about to take our places as dignified Seniors, only one hundred and eighty days more. During these days we had as principal Professor R. R. McAdorv whom we had already learned to love while a former teacher. This year the following new pupils joined our band: Lael Miller. Phillips High School: Lorene Caffee, Edna Killian, Rubye Herring, Olan Holdsenback, W. A. Money. Louise Martin, and J. E. Reaves, of Woodstock High School. We lost Percy Parsons, who went to work. Jennie Pickens, and Irene Howton. who were fortunate enough to become Mrs. J. F. Reaves also left to enter Pickens County High School. We now numbered only seventeen. The biggest event of this year was the banquet given at the close of school in honor of the Senior Class. We reappeared as Seniors in September. '25. fewer in number than as Freshmen. These Seniors have faced courage and determination as never before but with the help of our able principal. Professot R. R. McAdory. and our faithful teachers, we stand tonight ready to receive our diplomas and to bid our dear old Alma Mater goodbye, wishing for her. all the success that any high school may enjoy. John Harmon, ’26. Ttrtnty-fottr
