CLASS HISTORY LeT’S roll back the screen of time and look into the past history of the Class of 1936. The progress of the class makes an interesting study. It was in the school year, 1932-1933 that we came to high school. The first few days were an ordeal of abject terror— fear of the persecution of the Sophomores. Finally, however, we became accustomed to our new surroundings. We learned which steps to use in going up and down and a few of the most intelligent learned how to decipher Mr. Briggs' cryptic handwriting. It was with a great deal of pride that we moved up to the status of Sophomores. We were now entitled to home rooms. For a few weeks we enjoyed lording it” over the newly-arrived Freshmen. This was the first time that we felt we were really a part of the school. The next year of our life as a class was truly a great one. It was in this year that we were given the privilege of attending the Senior dances started by Mrs. Gee. One outstanding event was our Junior Class Play, South is South,” which we thought was the best ever given in Florence High. But the crowning success was our Junior-Senior Banquet. Our rainbow theme was carried out in speeches and in the gaily-colored decorations. Everyone had a good time, for which we must give all credit to Miss Anderson, our sponsor, who worked faithfully and hard throughout the year. Finally we reached the coveted grade of Seniors. At this stage we became very dignified and walked around with an air of knowledge. The first thing we did as a class, after the election of officers, was to open a booth at the Pee Dee Fair. For four days cries of r-r-r-r-r-red hot, hot dogs!” filled the air. Another big event was the election of the annual staff and the Senior class statistics. In the spring we gave our play, One Delirious Night,” and elected a May Queen, who was crowned at an impressive ceremony. Throughout the year we were given the privilege of having dances in the High School Gym. We also enjoyed a most delightful banquet, given for us by the members of the Junior Class. Toward the close of our school year the Commencement speakers were elected. Anxious boys and girls began to ponder History and Literature books. When our annuals were sent to us from the printers, everyone felt that the memories they will bring back in after years made them well worth the effort spent in publishing them. Those of us who were lucky, or wise, enough to get by, leave the school with an air of genuine regret but feeling that our four years in high school have placed upon us an indelible stamp of culture and refinement. Covington Hardee, Historian. 23 )« —
