CLASS HISTORY In September 1936 Randleman High School was a new and exciting place for a number of little girls and boys. This was our first experience at school. Some took it with happy talking and laughter; while others found themselves in one of the tiny desks (then huge to us) and remained there hardly speaking even when spoken to by our teachers, Miss Maude and Miss Hughes. At the same time others of our present class were entering at Worthville, Providence, and New Market. Their first day was, I suppose, similar to ours. After getting arranged in the new environment we settled down to learning our ABC's. As the year passed our minds began to broaden and the next fall found us making our way to the second grade classroom where Miss Mae and Miss Mary presided. In the third grade our teachers were Mrs. Carpenter and Miss Parrish. The fact that stands out most during that year was our Toy Orchestra directed by Miss Freeman, our music teacher. Our fourth year was a delightful one under the leadership of Miss Plott and Miss Holland. During the fifth and sixth years we liked school life so well that we even played school at lunch time. We remember with a smile how one of our girls made it a habit to call her students hypocrites. We learned very much during these two years with the help of Mrs. Millikan and Mrs. Hammond in the fifth grade and Miss Whicker and Miss Walker in the sixth. Then came our seventh year with Miss Ellen and Mrs. Lineberry, a long anticipated privilege. In 1943, Mr. H. H. Hamilton who had been our principal from the start, now left us. We were sorry to lose him, but we learned to like Mr. R. C. White who took his place. That year the New Market and Worthville students joined our class. We had serious moments in the eighth grade even if some did play ball with oranges that knocked out window panes. Also, in some mysterious way the erasers got behind George Washington’s picture at the front of the room. We are grateful to Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Denham for that memorable year. In the fall of 1944 we entered our Freshman class with Miss Sink and Miss Matthews to greet us. When the Junior-Senior Banquet came that year twelve of the girls in our class were a ppointed as waitresses. This was a joyful occasion. A number of our classmates were members of the Home Economics Club, Glee Club, and various other clubs. When we became Sophomores we were a little more grown-up than before. Miss Townsend and Mr. Wall kept our class going. Along with their help and our different club activities we had a most enjoyable year. Mr. W. A. Young succeeded Mr. White and instituted some improvements for the school. Our Junior Year was a busy one. The two sections started off with the following officers: President, Betty Jean Millikan and Jean Hall; Vice President, Edith Edwards and Jennie Lou Smith; Secretary, and Treasurer, Jane Hendrix and Theron Farlowe. The initiation for our mem- bers of the Beta Club was an outstanding event. We enjoyed it even if we did think it rather drastic. We sold magazines and had programs to finance our Junior-Senior Banquet which proved successful. During this time we ordered our class rings. Our class and our teachers, Miss Gray and Mr. Wall, welcomed the students from Providence, and also Arthur Wright and Fred Redding who had been away to serve our country. We gave the Junior-Senior Banquet on April 11, 1947. The gymnasium was decorated in Old Mexican style, and everyone enjoyed our program of speech es, songs, and dances. In 1947 we became Seniors. This was the crowning year. It began with the election of the class officers, the annual staff, and the superlatives. The class officers were as follows: President, ae Allred; Vice President, Bobby Russell; Secretary, Betty Causey; and Treasurer, Mara Sue Ilred. “The Spotlight’, the school paper edited by the Beta Club members, was a high light in our school life. True to life, this year was not all sunshine. Tragedy struck hard in our midst and took our classmate, George Yow, whom we shall remember always. Since time and space have their limitations it is impossible to describe here the trip to Wash- ington, the parties and other social events in which we were honored. It is sufficient to say they made us very happy. We should like to think that we have left some inspiration to the other pupils of Randleman High School to lead them to a broader education and better ways of living. By JENNIE LOU SMITH. 5 13 bm
