M iss VVilliams, Mr. Martin CLASS HISTORY We started at the foot of the mountain as freshies-eighty-live of us. We were of little importance, although we distressed the faculty and furnished the usual fun, sport, and amusement for the upper classmen. The incline seemed steep to our unaccustomed feet, but eventually we reached a little plateau where we rested for three months and acquired zest to continue the ascent. The going seemed easier. Perhaps the sight, far below, of the crawling freshmen refreshed us. The reflected glory from a few of our number who won distinction for themselves and us in athletics, music, and speech helped to light our path. We were very happy to reach the half-Way house in June. The third lap required scarcely any effort on our part. The journey was pleasantly interrupted by our play, Here Comes Charlie, and the circus. The climax was reached the night of our junior-senior party, which was held at the Hotel Grier-Lincoln in Danville. At the beginning of the last lap, the crest toward which we were climbing was not yet in sight. After we had climbed along for some time, we made a one-night stop at Dog Patch , where we entertained the juniors with a Sadie Hawkins party. Mammy and Pappy Yokum, Daisy Mae, Li'l Abner, and Sadie Hawkins were there and performed their hill-billy antics to the delight of both guests and hosts. We had no more than started before we suddenly entered the field of frenzied finance. As we gazed around we realized that our financial fences were in a sad state of repair. The returns, however, from the sale of candy, pop, magazine subscriptions, annual dinner tickets, and class play tickets, enabled us to emerge from this field to a broad highway where the ascent was not so steep. From that point, The Lone Eagle guided us onward and upward. All of a sudden as we rounded a curve we reached a point where the scenery was the most beautiful and the atmosphere the most delightful of any part of our journey. Here was an immense sign which read Junior-Senior Banquet . After we had whiled away a few delightful hours at this point, we realized that we must continue our journey. We watched the eagle disappear. In its stead we viewed the crest of the mountain, Inspiration Point, the end of our journey.
