CLASS HISTORY Poets are fond of referring to life as a great sea or ocean. Very well. 1 hen what are the rivers that supply the sea but the colleges of the country? And tracing the colleges back toward their sources we find each one originating in the junction of the little streamlets issuing from the schools of the land. Our own class history indicates such a riverlet, one that has (lowed steadily along until it Iras reached the meeting place appointed by the course of study. It may be traced down through the classes to a certain day in September 1936 when we presented ourselves at the rooms of Miss McFee and Miss McCormick. We knew not what the years to come held in store for us. As the stream expanded we had emerged into the second grade under the guidance of Miss Goldie Kale and Miss Ida Rankin. Each year the course of our riverlet changed and we found ourselves flowing to a more prosperous future. 1 he realization of school activities came to us in the sixth grade. Our first basketball tournament was held and some of our bovs went out for football and other sports. I his attitude stayed with us until the night to which we had been looking forward for so long a time: the night we graduated from Junior High to Senior High. As freshmen our class was increased bv a number of students coming down from Lucia. Our leaders were Mrs. Hill and Miss Montgomery. An honor was bestowed upon six of our students. They were chosen Beta Club members. This was the first time that freshmen had been chosen as members. Having mastered (we thought) the school, we reentered the next year under the leadership of Miss Lipscomb and Mr. Sigmon. By tire time we had a party in the bee hive, we knew full well that we had much more to learn at dear old Mount Holly High. With Miss Norris and Miss Lipscomb as our sponsors, we found ourselves the next year following the tradition of jolly juniors with vague contacts of the dignity before us for the coming year. Our ingenuity blossomed with the inauguration of the first annual I Iarvest Lestival. After many months of hard work came the long-awaited Junior-Senior Banquet at The Ship-Ahov in Charlotte. By the time we became seniors, the cost of broadening our knowledge had narrowed our number to forty-seven, under the guidance of Miss Norris and Mr. Lowler. This year our minds have become more mature, and we are seriously thinking about entering the turbulent ocean of life. At the first of the year some of us had not fully decided which boat we would take; but whatever our destination we are determined to “strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and high.
