A'TTTS3,f .X- 1 T E -Elll' Age -'ZLa,, .g' CD SENIOR CLASS HISTORY BEGINNING A VERY SUGGESSFUL AS WELL AS A HAPPY AND EvENTFUL ScHooL CAREER. IN THE FIRST GRADE WE WERE UNDER THE CARE OF MISS MARY BURGIN, MISS DELLA WILLIAMS AND MRS. BEULAH NICHOLS' IN THE SECOND GRADE WE HAD AS OUR TEACHERS MISS STACY, WE ENTERED SCHOOL IN THE FALL OF 1937, THUS MISS BEAM, MISS HEMPHILL AND MISS BIDDLE wHo LATER BECAME MRS. GIBBS. OUR MGST INTERESTING ACTIVITY DURING THESE UTENOER YEARSH wAS THE BUILDING OF PLAY HOUSES AND THE ORAMATIZATION oF SNow WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFSG IN THE THIRD GRADE WE WERE UNDER THE SUPER- VISION OF MISS MARGARET MARLEY, MISS LAURA HICKS MISS HENSDALE. BY THIS TIME WE WERE GETTING To BE A VERY INTELLIGENT AND AMBITIOUS GROUP OF BOYS AND GIRLS CSG WE THOUGHT, ANYWAYJ. DURING ouR FOURTH YEAR, OUR TEACHERS wERE MISS HUGHES AND MISS WILSON, LATER TO BECOME MRS. HARTLEY. ONE OF oUR MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES wAs THE STUDYING OF MUSIC AND THE ORGANIZING OF OUR GLEE CLUB AND RHYTHM BAND UNDER THE DIRECTION GF MRS. HARTLEY. THE NEXT YEAR IT wAS HARD To TELL wHo REALLY wAS OUR TEACHER. THERE wERE Too MANY PURILS FOR OUR TEACHERS, MRS. BRADLEY AND MISS ICARD T0 HANDLE, AND THE SAME THING wAs TRUE WITH THE FOURTH GRADE. AS A RESULT, SOME oF THE FOURTH GRAOERS AND FIFTH GRADERS WERE PUT INTO A SEPARATE RooM FROM THE OTHERS AND MRS. COTTEN BECAME oUR TEACHER. AFTER AWHILE, MISS KLUTZ GAME TO TRY HER ABILITY AT TRYING TO TEACH Us SOMETHING. THESE TWO REALLY HAD A TIME BECAUSE AND TWO AND NOT THE OR THREE BOYS HAD TO BE WHIPPED EVERY DAY, I MIGHT AS WELL ADMIT THAT THE GIRLS WERE LITTLE ANGELS: BY THIS TIME WORLD WAR ll HAD STARTED AND NEXT TWO YEARS wERE FILLED WITH BOND AND STAMP BUYING AND SELLING SCRAP IRON COLLECTIONS, RALLIES AND PARADES. ALL THESE NDOINGSN PRO- VIDED ENJOYMENT FOR THE SCHOOL CHILDREN AS WELL AS HELPING IN THE WAR EFFORT. MOST OF THIS OCCURRED DURING OUR SIXTH AND SEVENTH YEARS IN SCHOOL. THE SIXTH GRADE TEACHERS WERE MISS LONG AND MRS. KANIPE AND OUR SEVENTH GRADE TEACHERS fx if Q KI ' I I Y,R Iv: My N X 2 I X fo X Q SIKL fx I' ,ff

THE NExT YEAR THE BOYS AND GIRLS WERE SEP- ARATED AND MISS SCOTT wAS IN CHARGE or THE GIRLS A D MRS. H ss THE BOYS. THIS WAS OUR FIRST YEAR AT CHANGING GLASSES AND wE, or COURSE, FELT OUR IMPORTANCE THOUGH WE WERE NOT YET IN HIGH SCHOOL. THEN AT LAST, GAME THE YEAR THAT WE BEGAN OUR GREAT HIGH SCHOOL CAREER. STILL OUR GLASS so LARGE THAT WE HAD TO BE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS, o E UNDER THE DIRECTION or MISS FERNE SMITH AND THE OTHER UNDER THE GUIDANGE or MISS MARGARET GRANT w o LATER CHANGED HER TITLE TO RS. AND HER NAME To AMSEY. IT SEEMS THAT OUR GLASS HAS BROUGHT MUCH GOOD LUCK AND HAPPINESS T0 OUR YOUNG LADY TEAGHERS BECAUSE QUITE A FEW HAVE CHANGED THEIR NAMES DURING THE TIME IN WHICH THEY TAUGHT US. DURING THIS YEAR, MISS GRANT WAS THE HGME ECONOMICS TEACHER AND THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SUDDENLY TOOK A GREAT INTEREST IN COOKING AND HDMEMAKING. GEORGIA EVANS WAS MARRIED WHILE WE WERE IN MISS GRANT'S ROOM. ANOTHER OF oUR GIRLS, MARGARET THDMPSGN, LEFT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF OUR TENTH YEAR. HELEN HANEY ALSO QUIT. BUT TO MAKE UP FOR THE THREE LEAVING, THREE MORE WERE ADDED T0 OUR GLASS. THEY WERE PAUL BERNETTE AND DEWEY LAWING FROM PLEASANT GARDENS AND EDITH EVANS FRGM GLENWOODQ WHEN WE ENTERED THENTENTH GRADE, THE wAR HAD ENDED, AND A VETERAN, MR. WOODWARD, BEGAME OUR TEACHER.
