The way has often been hard but grand And high ideals have paid the fees. Toil is forgot as we sail away We cherish the fun and joy ’What in each year came day by day Golden moments without alloy. No matter how far from Port we sail In fair or stormy weather Not a single senior aboard will fail To remember these years together.’ Some years together, be it so. Our motto on our minds is carven Ours the Victory we've chosen as we go. Some years together, be it so. Whether clouds be dense or skies be blue Our motto we’ll follow as we go Ours the Victory !

Of this number who are graduating in this class five started in gram- ar school eogether at the Oxford City School. They-were Mary H. Moore, Ercell Turner, Allen Kerr, Herbert Williams, and Bobby Morgan. Our grammar school days ended almost before we were aware that they-had begun—and we were sixth grade graduates, looking forward to September when we’d be members of the high school stu- dent body. Finally it came—our advent into high school and how big we felt as we climbed the hill to high school. And how soon we came to love it and be as true to it as we had been to our former school. Although our junior high school days were uneventful, our senior high school days have been crowded with act- ivities—the junior play, the junior-senior banquet and dance, the senior play, term papers, autobiographies, pop quizzes,• blue Mondays, oratorical contests, kid day, and graduation. In our senior one year, our class grew ' much larger because Friendship, DeArmanville, Coldwater, Mechanicsville, Eulaton, and Easta- boga furnished us many of their finest'pro- ducts in the persons of Martha Thweatt, Car- olyn Evins, Catherine Jobson, Loarene Den- son, MaryMartin, Mary'Ellen Wilkinson, Lil- liam Pugh, Iris Martin, Peggy Stovell, Donald Carter, J. C. Rogers, Pelham Hubbard, Lynwood Anderson, Kiron Browning, and H, C. Willingham, Our senior one year was filled with act- ivities that took us on a road to adventure th.-.t was at first peculiar to us but later we adapted ourselves to them so that now we feel that they were a high school respon- sibility. First came our entrance into the field of home making. Several girls were outstanding in their v ork and journeyed to Montovallo for the Inter High School Meet. They were Carolyn Evins, Martha Thweatt, Loarene Den3on, Catherine Jobson, Mattie Jones, Iris Martin, and Ruth Short. One of the highlights of our junior year was the Coronation of Calhoun County High School’s Q,uoen and King. Y e were proud to furnish both of them. The King, Warren Par- ker, and Queen, Ercell Turner, were both pro- ducts of the junior class. Another highlight of the year was a member of our class, Martha Thweatt, won first place, School and County, in the Anniston Civitan Club Contest and first and second niece in an essay contest sponsored by the Elks Club. Our last year in high school together was packed with activities that only a high school senior can experience. Our spirit of coopeation reached its summit in that year because we, realizing that we were soon to graduate and enter fields that separate us forever, wore bound together by a tie of love. Our strongest memories of this year are the election of May Queen, Frances Broughton; Good Citizenship Giel, Mattie Jones; the senior play, Antics of Andrew ; and most of all our excitement and preparation for Commencement Day. We leave Calhoun County High School with many regrots. Ercell Turner It must be the old school spirit that lingers with me I think of my schoolmates and wonder where they could bo, I’ve decided to pack up my thoughts and travel, And soo how many school memories I can unravel. I’m off on my trip from east to west. To find my schoolmates I'll do my best. I may have to travel all o'or the seven seas But then I'll come back again and dwell In memories! Levy Arthur has become an army nurse 3he'11 3tick by the sick for better or worse Her training has taken many of her days But she doesn't mind--Loolc what it pay3J A housewife wo find i3 Mitylene Bowman George didn't fail to choose the right woman She's devoted to cooking and washing dishes But has plenty of time to do whatever she wishes. Y7e pick up a magazine a nd what do we 3ee? It's an old classmate or my eye3 deceive ne, She's modeling clothes-Oh, what a mixture! There's Frances Broughton's name right under the pic-’ ture! Walking down the street one day we passed abeauty shop Our hair was in a terrible fix so we jU3t had to stop And whom do you think that we found there? It was Minnie Lee Dempsey styling someone'3 hair. Our next stop is at an Economist'3 meeting And there was Loarene Denson delivering the greeting She wa3 just getting set to give a demonstration On Home Economics and food preservation. In a large Department 3tore in a leading Southerntown I walked into one day-just to look around. And the first saleslady that walked up to me Y as Mary Nita Hubbard, the 3amo old she! I went to Church and to a Missionary League who should be chairman but Rcba ioa ue Juanita Strickland was her assistant xliey wore carrying their work to many points distant. 1 took a trip by plane in June xhe hoste os was no one but C-eraldino Loone Robert Searcy was the pilot--to my surprise Instead of on land, in air he now flies. Carolyn Lvins I found was working in Washington, D.C. She was secretary to some bigwig from Tennes :ec Cloro Brook3 I saw in the same place Sho was making lectures on tho problems cm race. One day in Miami I saw a sign that said Dancing ri'ho teacher was Glenn Dor sett who had xorsaken rona Bobby Morgan was his most promising scholar But trying to learn, he had spent many a dollar. I then wont to see a vaudeville Revue . Jack V illiam3 was a comedian and Chester Reaves, too. The managers were Pelham Hubbard and Kiron Browning Who were responsible for their professional closing. In every large town Lester Almaroad had. a mark „ Wallace Reaves had a auto junk ''hop called Par., I . Frederick Martin was now Admiral on a ship And J.C. Rogers was in Alaska on a leisure trip. As I leave the big cities and enter the little towns 1 come to a village school and decide to stick around As I step inside, there to my realistic vision The teacher, Catherine Jobson, teaching long division. And. now I come to the business section xo sec the ones who have made thi3 selection I see the offices of many-lawyer, doctor and then photographer I look inside there's Mary Hazel Moore, the stenogra- pher. • : next wont whore; a popular band was playing Allen Karr was tho leader and we hoard him saying I introduco to you, the; soloist of tho day ;t’s Charles Hutto—take it awayI Herbert Williams was editor of the Birmingham News ;iis editorials wore on Marlowe Johnson’s political views larlowc was running for New York 8ity Mayor But everyone liked him butter as an operetta plryor. picked up a loading book on how to decorate r thought it was just a lot of advertising bait Jut it was by tho famous decorator-Mattio Jonos too had decorated tho White House and many famous lomes • I then turned through another book X didn’t intend to refd, just look fend there before my eyes as sure as you are born Vt.s Annie Lou Searcy’s name under Advice to Lovelorn'.' )nc day I wont into Chicago’s largest bank, I think iflv funds tho day before had begun to sink fit first I w: s undecided and very hoditant 3ut all went well because Durwood Stitt was President, Frank Boullemet was now busy with his drugs He had taken up pharmacy and quit dissecting bugs lis assistant chemist was Mattie Mario Wade 3ho was the nation’s loading and also the highest paid, read an announce mont and much to my satisfaction I was that at a musical Ercell Turner was the min attraction, ■ , She played as magic were in her fitters' Peggy Stovall and Mary Martin were her featured singers, I may have traveled all o’er the seven seas But when I hoar a certain Number Please I know that always this occupation was her choice That was Mary Ellen Wilkinson’s voice.

My next 3top was at a swanky place to dine The place wa3 very modernistic and the food wa3 ex.ra Cut3no wonder-the proprietorwas-ye3- Lillian i’ugh Iris liartin was the head dietitian and her assistant too. That night I attended a large theatre Lynwood Anderson vra13 the sole creator His plays were produced on a very large scale 'written by Jack Short, Professor at fale. Hi3 scripts v ere of the melodramic kind Estelle Sprayberry tried to see how many mistakes he could find t . . .
