Glass gfistory Twelve years ago the members of the present senior class, with bright expectant faces, presented themselves to the first grades of various schools to delve in the mysteries of Readin', Ritin' and Rithmetic. ' Of the thirtyafive or forty first graders who started to the Elementary School here in 1937 only fifteen, Nelson Dickey, Betty Creswell, Buddy Culbreath, John McNail James Dedmon, Joyce Browning, Bobby Hazelwood, Wayne Estes, Melvin Bruce, Don David Jones, Syble Vawter, Eugene Tharpe, Robert Appleton, Robert Holt, and Bobby Manner have remained to the end. The remainder of the class has joined these either in the grades or in the high school. As the trials and tribulations of elementary students tested us, we went on with our quarrels, pranks, and punishments, which were hewing out a bright future for the C1888 o In the fifth grade many new faces appeared because the Ordinance Plant brought many new people here. It was about this time that we appeared scrubbed and shining with new clothes to be in plays, beauty reviews, and parades. Many a tear was shed on that long journey to the first aid room where county health shots were given. With the motto: Wwe work while we work and we play while we p1ay,N the class made headway under the guidance of Miss Edith's chair back, which was the main factor in breaking up the pin sticking gang of that year. Entering the eighth grade, we came to the high school building with fearful faces. Our wardens for this whole year of e periences were Mrs. Minnie Blair and Miss Nola Cannon. Being fearful of the atmosphere and the environment one's first thought was: 'When will they put the bars on the windows?W The first year of high school opened with a bang. Our new Superintendent, Mr. W. B. Jones, with his friendly smile, made us feel right at home. The new experience of changing classes baffeled us for a while. Algebra seemed like a new field of deepest learning. Latin, Science, and English were classes which we all enjoyed. In this year we had many new faces who had finished some of the surrounding Junior high schools. Being silly sophomores, we had some experiences, such as having three teachers in the same class of the first three months and having eraser battles, for which we were sent to the office. Our leader ,Mr. Miles provided the punishment. g As jolly juniors, the class was well on its way to being the most learned, the most courteous, and the best class which Hilan High had ever produced. Some high- lights of the year were, the class trip to Natural Bridge, and the Junior and Senior banquet. In September we were the most sophisticated Seniors ever to roam the corridors of this great institution of learning. Here we realized that along with Senior privileges go Senior responsibilities. As we finish these golden years of opportunity we leave many accomplishments be- hind us. Though we be scattered over the face of the earth we shall always be bonded together by our love for our-ALMA MATER. Class Historian fV?'1e!V'lo,cQZ 32
