SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Class Advisers M President Vice-President Secy.-Treas. . This is the history of the trials and worries, heartaches and disappointments, joys and sorrows, victories and defeats of the class of ’41. Two years ago on a lovely sunshiny morn- ing in September with bright and smiling faces we set forth upon the great highway of knowledge. Our class consisted of young ladies and gentlemen eager to gain an education. A few days after the school term began we elected the following class officers: president, James Cole; vice-president, Marjorie Hill; secre- tary, Sue Pickens, and treasurer, Muriel Walters. Soon came the time for the class party. Each freshmen was very much excited as it was his first large party. Several of the r. Reppert and M r. Hu ff Rosalee Mattox — Paul Frazier iriel Walters teachers came, and we all had a very good time. Days and weeks passed until finally the group found itself ready to participate in the second great event known as the sophomore year. Our class has supplied Coach Huff with several players this season. Most of the members of our class belong to one or more high school clubs. Five of the girls are members of the Girl Reserves, and four of the boys are members of the Hi-Y club. Foremost of the year’s social events was the class party given in the auditorium. We had a kid party and everyone enjoyed a de- lightful evening. We are all looking forward to next year when we will be juniors.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Class Advisers Miss Hart and Miss Shelton President Secy.-Treas The most earnest class, the most wise class, the most dependable class, the most talented class, the most modern class—that’s the class of '40. This class started out in ’36 with sixty members who knew nothing what-so-ever about rules and regulations in high school. Soon, however, they were standing among the upper classmen in all phases of school activities. We were not to be left out of af- fairs of the school even during our first year. We emerged with high grades and entered the school the second year, while a few of our number fell by the wayside. More prom- inence and more influence was issued from us as sophomores. We were represented in the school clubs and on all athletic teams. Again the summer passes quickly, and as Ralph Wallace Myrtle Hayes juniors things seemed as strange as to the Pilgrims entering a new land. The class selected as its leaders: Paul Munday, presi- dent; Ralph Wallace, vice-president; Myrtle Hayes, secretary-treasurer. At the begin- ning of the second semester Paul Munday moved and Ralph Wallace automatically took his place. The class ordered their rings after much controversy concerning style. We look forward now to the junior-senior banquet for which we have labored so hard to earn money for expenses. We have sold candy, stationery and Christmas cards, and we have sponsored a movie at the Lyric Theatre. Does this not prove that we are the most earnest class, the most wise class, the most dependable class, the most talented class, and the most modern class of all classes

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY President Vice-President. Frances Gaylor Carol Wallace Secy.-Treas. Elizabeth Foivler Student Council Representative Jean Shomo When our present class entered the seventh grade, you should have seen the smiling faces. All these big smiles were for the privilege of getting to change classes. Our first year in junior high school was very successful. We passed through the eighth grade with success. Several members of the class joined some school clubs, band, and orchestra. Our ninth grade class, in spite of being called “green freshies,” was successful. Two splendid programs were given in as- sembly under the direction of Mrs. Houdy- schell and Mr. Shipley, our class advisers. Several members of the class belong to the band and the orchestra. Since we entered junior high school in 1937, fourteen new members have been ad- ded to our class roll. They are as follows: Buckland, Moody; Collins, Ellen Jean; Crist, Charlotte; Gaylor, Frances; Inge. Mary; Jef- feris. James; Margaret, Jefferis; King, Hel- en; Miller, Donald; Samples, Clayton; Sho- mo, Jean; Santrock, Isabelle; Talbert, Elea- nor; Wallace, Carol.
