,ff L1- 'seif RENOCAI-II lse- CLASS .HISTORY -As told by the Lighl of EKIIICIIHOII. Seniors of the Class of 1936, I do not say that you are the best class of Reidsville High School, neither do I say you are the largest and best looking, but I do say that you are one of the most well-rounded classes that Reidsville High School has ever produced. During the year 1918-1919, the proverbial stork had many a troublesome load, and in spite of protest from the gods of fate, you were born into a world just recuperating from the World War. Time flew on: Your formal search for the Light of Education began in the fall of 1925, when with your mothers and fathers you entered grammar school quite bewildered. Those first days were lovely, but soon you learned that there was more to do than play. Reading, Riting and Rithmeticn were taught to the tune of switches and paddles. Miss Lizzie Showalter was your teacher in the first grade. She made three little girls stay in one afternoon for turning over in their chairs. The next day she fell over in hers while the class was having their reading lesson. Louise Moore, a member of the class, moved to Madison. Miss Margaret Womack was your teacher in the second grade. She taught you to divide four into forty-eight. In the third grade you lived for the fifteen minutes when Miss Ethyl Glidewell would read to you from 'KMiss Minerva and William Green Hill. Bill Lane, a class chum, moved away. Perhaps you can remember when he put a tack in Pam Oliver's chair. Miss Knot, the fourth grade teacher, moved you continually to keep you from talking, however, she never succeeded. In the sixth grade none other than Mr. Jerome Douglass was your teacher. He was loved and admired by all his pupils except Ed. Meeks, the class villain. The outstanding event of the year was the forming of the Better English Club. Elton Lively used as many aints and gits as the class put together. Marjorie Sprinkle, a favorite pupil, stopped school. Due to sickness Pam Oliver's name was taken from the roll book. You went to the seventh grade with a grammar school certificate firmly held in your hand. Miss Hollowell gave the lowdown on the World War. At last!!! What you had worked, dreamed and hoped for! A Freshllmli in Reidsville High School!! You entered with the usual hopes and aspirations peculiar to freshmen. But the Light was too bright to last. Suddenly, big black clouds, which seemed to completely obscure all the Lighf that you had won, gathered above your heads. 'You went scurrying hither and yon, trying to recapture your priceless possession-each of you with a particular task to perform. Slowly but surely, with each daily quiz and monthly test, the clouds broke, and with their breaking, you received the first true rays of Light, the first true seeds of Knowledge. A red-headed belle from Burlington entered your class that year. You have already guessed-yes, Nancy Price. You enjoyed your freshman year, but it was destined that you enjoy your next year more. While Sophomores, stumbling blocks were shoved under your feet by well-meaning teachers. The Latin course was the pitfall for many of you, yet a large number of you persisted and finally passed. It is needless to say that you were unusually green.,' But you have long since learned that since a thing is green it is growing. Yes, of course, you were growing! And learlzifzgf You were gradually grasping bit by bit, piece by piece, Klzozulcdgr, and storing it for future use--thus, you began to grow in Wisdom. You learned many thnigs that year, and when it came to a close, you were Juniors, wise and courageous enough to have your say. -..sig 16 al
