I’HE CLASS CALENDAR t Life is a full-blown year, with all things in I Loir season I lius. in our school career, each change hath rhyme and reason: I he seasons come and go—each with its gifts in hand. I hat we may see and know-how well all life is planned. io FRESHMAN YEAR • SPRING is the time of all green and growing things: what more fitting, then. I licit the Fresh man. in this green time of his life, should enter college I he March winds and the April showers were very necessary to the budding of the shoots of knowledge !! the hreshman mind. And we. so green in our dewy innocence, received at this lime the first seeds of knowledge and fell the lirst pull of tl re plow and the cultivator in this spring of our career. And this was the year of nineteen hundred and thirty live. Summing it all up we might say with the poet—that Once came sixty babies— I hrnugh our magi gales to pass— Scattering If you please. and Mavbcs — Weren I they as green as grass ioV - 7 SOPHOMORES © SI JMMER— I lie March winds and April showers brought forth an abundance of May flowers, and the Summertime came upon us almost before we knew: so dclightlullv did the one season blend into the other. We found that the skies were much bluer and the sun shone more warmly upon us. We held our heads very high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. I hey were not yet so heavy with their accumulation of wisdom and so did not droop with the weight. But our flowers were unfolding little by little. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light ol day. We gayly marched along lor we had such personalities to join us as the Misses Eleanor I landberry and Sara Burroughs, and Messrs. Charles Pickett and Roland Niles. Misses Pearl Watkins. Edith Brown and Willie Mae Spann broke ranks with us. leaving us to long for the new I fomain where Juniors ruled so royally. Our buds had become blossoms and the color ol our dominant characteristics had changed with the unfolding ol the larger blooms. 1937-38 JUNIORS • Al II J.MN—But verily, in school life, even as in nature. Leaves have their lime to fall, and (lowers to wither. Wry brilliant was our foliage that year, very rich our fruitage, as the little buds ol the- I'reshman year, grown into the Mowers of Sophomore development, became the richer, and more satisfying fruit of the Autumn. It was indeed the harvest of our early planting—the reaping of the- results of all our dreams and hopes and efforts. Regretfully we accepted a farewell from the Misses C lara Bright. Ida Rutherford. Ruby ( denn. Pearl Wilson. Louise Lee. Alva Murray. Lillian Kirven. Ruth Briggs and Daisy Bell and (»corge I aimer, as they chose to pursue dif-fercnl avoc ations of life, leaving us with our dreams and visions of soon becoming Seniors. New troopers joined us in the persons ol Mr. Win. Swinton and Miss Josie I insley. But it was not all glory and wonder and splendor. I here were tests, cultivations and the I'nil planting, and with all our wisdom, there was muc h to be desired. 19)8-■ SENIORS • WINTER—But even this stage passed on into eternity: the fruit was all gat I cored and stored away with our memories, and with the snows ol all the past in hoary wisdom upon our heads, we wolc ome the appro.ic h of Winter. Rugged in our young manhood and womanhood. lad in spot less snow and frost, protec ting the- yet immature germs of developing life from the- blighting atmosphere. we stand al the end ol our course. More of our c lassmates succumbed to the call ol Late. namely: Misses ( rrie L. Shephard. Mary Raiford. Anna Ross. Geneva Hickson. Louise I lastie. Anna Jenkins and Messrs. Randolph Weight. ( liarles Pickett and Reverend Horton. In their stead we welcomed the- Misses Janye Maltison. Margie I homnson. Yernice I aylor. Marylvn Dean. Elizabeth Dantzler and Messrs. ( liarles Logan. Grover Belton. Jack I arleton. It scorns a sadder lime than we expected. I L»- world outside is cold. e know not what to expect from its bleak, bare atmosphere. Hut we must not forget that tomorrow we will all enter into a renewal ol life in .1 glad, glorious, new springtime. And so we go forth, robed in the snowy emblem ol our purilic alion. no longer green, nor red. nor even blue— Lor the last year satisfying— must al! shadows safely blow: Senior life- is purifying, and we pass—as white as snow. —Ri-iioi.da Garner. 50. 14
