.,,. ., ..o ., N H 1 - T 1 M E s Historq of The Class of '27 GXPQJQQZO Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sand of time. -Longfellow. GXJSQLID We, the class of '27, wish to leave behind us, a few footprints on the sands of Mercer Hi Times. ' In September of 1922 we entered the Freshman class with eager and earnest intentions. The Autumn passed with no unusual events, save a little hazing by the Sophomores. Winter found us gleaning knowledge from our books, and securf ing a rank in Literary and Athletic Contests. Spring brought with it that indolent disease, spring fever, ' which many of our classmates contracted. In June most of us were promoted to the Sophomore Class. On entering our second year's work we were joined by Helen Wilson, Esther Watson, Yeager White, and Norris Burdette, all of whom have proved to be important additions to DUI. class. During the year, we advanced further into the various-activities of the High School in Literary as well as in Athletic Contests. In the fall of 1925, we entered the junior Class of Mercer Hi, we were at that time joined by Robert Bartoo. The first great event of the year was selecting our class rings. During the last of March and the first days of April, we began to plan the JuniorfSenior Ban' quet, at which we were to be host to the graduating class. However, we discovered that our class colors were the same as those of the Seniors. We changed our colors to red and white, fsince we had always been taught to respect our eldersj. ' The last events of our Junior year were the JuniorfSenior Banquet and the Baccalaureate services, for which we provided the singing. When the school bells rang on September 7, 1926, we were reminded of the fact that we were to enter Mrcer Hi, for the last year. We were joined by Betty Vath, who has taken a great part in Literary Contests. We have been very well represented in our Senior year in Athletics and forensic work. A We all worked very hard, for we realized it was our last year for gleaning knowledge in Mercer Hi. All great things must have an ending. We depart from Mercer Hi in June, 1927. We leave many friends whom we may never see again. We leave our school, concerning which we have so many pleasant memories. We leave our teachers and our principal, who have instructed us, not only along the lines of study hut in things which school books cannot express. We leave them with a feeling of love and respect and hope that we leave footprints which will not only help the institution but inspire future classes to do better. , -Christina Reed. El W L I
