THE OAK LEAF , 1922 3qT Senior Class History a ipi HE ship of the Class of ’22 sailed into the harbor of the first year of high school IE in 1918 with full sixty-six passengers on board, the commanders being Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Whitt, Mrs. Graybeal and Miss Moser. We found the waves of this harbor rough and troublesome, and we were surprised when our first reports were received that we had been so successful in our first fight for knowledge. 1 he year passed quickly and we found ourselves sophomores in the year 1919-20, leaving behind us many pleasant thoughts of the days just passed. d hose who had fallen by the wayside were replaced by other members who proved to be loyal classmates and very efficient in their studies. We were wiser now, and having profited by eight long years of experience we could overcome the waves more easily. We were successful not only in our studies, but in filling places of leadership in school activities. As juniors our number had gradually diminished and those who had filled their places in life were wiped from our memories. Geometry proved to be the highest wave of the high sea and many found it difficult to cross. And now the sixty-six who had entered the Freshman Class in the fall , of 1918 became the Class of ’22, with forty-three members, the largest class to graduate from Radford High School. With Anthony Giesen, Jr., as class president and Miss M. D. Johnson as class adviser we have accomplished much. Our class has distinguished itself as being the originators of 1 HE Oak. Leaf. As we go through life, each on his or her separate walk, we may turn the leaves of this volume and live our school days over again, and then has the funda- mental object been obtained. And now as the Class of ’22 passes down into history we go forth with gladness, though sorrow steals into our hearts as we realize that friendships of a lifetime must be dissolved. Our dreams as freshmen, our hopes as sophomores, our prayers as juniors have been realized; our future belongs to the “Great Unknown.’’ There she stands with all her failings and faults; with all her virtues and accomplish- ments — the one class of all classes — the Class of ’22.
