CLASS HISTORY In tl1e month of January 19-LG a new class was in the making at Payne's Business 8 Secretarial School to venture into the field of business. As members of this begi11ni11g class, we found a hearty welcome coming from the upper class and a warm reception from the president, Mrs. F. P. Payne, and her assistant instructor, Miss Louise Vvilliams. At this time we were no lo11ger tl1e young tots entering school for the first time, but we are those who have graduated from high school. Some of us have even studied ill various colleges. -Xt this age, and with the knowledge that we have acquired throughout our school days up until IIOW, we are the so-called Scream of the crop stepping out as youngsters into tl1e field of business.

Henry, vicespresident, Miss Frances llloore as secretary, and Miss Xannie Hanks as treas- urer. 'illlftlllglllllllf the spring months we struggled upward toward our goal. Although tl1e work was hard, yet we found time for our social events which included tl1e most delectable prom held at the Y.M.C..X. ln the latter part of May, while the upper class was preparing themselves for tl1e final initiative before entering the business world. the under- graduates were striving with tl1e bcst of their ability to follow in the footsteps of those who had gone on before them. On the 2-ith of June the school closed for tl1e season of 19445. Be- fore we put away our books for our summer vacation we had been cautioned by our instructors not to let tl1e knowledge we had built up during tl1e first part of our course at Payne's Business N Secretarial
