1927 g F The Kilcokonen g The First Book of the Tribe 727 Called 723 N the year of our Lord '23 there entered the land of H. H. S., to begin their sojourn at that place, the tribe of '27, They, the Freshman Class, were thirty strong, but they were sore afraid. Misses Ayers and Carpenter took the tribe of '27 and led it through the wilderness. That year we enjoyed many respites. And it came to pass in '24, under Misses Perry and Carpenter, that we had to take part in the county commencement. Too, one of our girls won in the debating contest in this section and went to Chapel Hill to compete with other contestants from the State, she won in the senii-finals. Another of our girls won over all other competitors in the State in bread-making, she was given a trip to Chicago, where she judged bread. In the same year, moreover, we had the misfortune of losing our dear principal, Mr. Joyner. That year we enjoyed several picnics given us by our teachers. Many students from New Hope joined us, also, increasing our number to about forty. And it came to pass in the third year of the sojourn of the tribe of ,27, we had a new brick consolidated building to start in, likewise a new principal: Mr. Taylor. Students from Belvidere and Wliitestoii joined us that year, making the Junior Class fifty strong, with Miss Oliver Miller and Mr. Murray Wliite as excellent leaders, we felt able to accomplish anything. And it came to pass that in November, after due consideration, we organized ourselves. Edward Wcefks, our chosen guide, proved that he was both worthy and capable of being President of the Class. We gave the seniors a banquet, the most elaborate in the history of the High School. In April many students took a trip to YVashington, lil. C., which was quite delightful. And behold! The Year '27 approacheth. The journey of the tribe of '27 nears its end. Thus, in the last year of the tribe's journey, with its number decreased to forty-four the tribe advances with its face to the front. In the twelfth month of this year the tribe gave the foot-ball boys a banquet. November 11, the tribe dedicated a tree to the State. Two literary societies were organized in the fall. In Gctober the history class, with Misses Perry and Blount and Mr. Harris, took a trip to Jamestown, VVillia1nsburg, and Yorktown, Virginia. And it came to pass in 327, under Weeks, in the first month and the Twenty-one
