' guy' M llll lll l lll lu III un l n uu a Senior Class History INCE NOTHING could be of more interest to us just now than a pleasant reminescence of our high school career, we shall for a few fleeting moments, review our four years' sojourn here in Rhea Cen- tral High School. lt was on the tenth day of August, nineteen hundred and twenty-six, that we, the present Senior Class of seventy-two members, set sail on the good ship Schola to explore the vast seas of Knowledge. For the first few weeks we braved the terrors and hardships that are com- mon to young seamen. We entered for the first time the waters dangerous with the crags of Latin and Algebra. We gathered on the deck of the ship and elected as our captain, Ben Purser, and as first mate, Robert Kidd. Slowly the waters became calmer and we were sailing safely along when suddenly, in the midst of the sea, the skies grew dark and the winds howled. For one whole week we were tossed about by the raging hurricane of Exams. After the storm had finally spent itself we found to our sorrow that several of our comrades had been lost. Efforts were made to rescue them, but all in vain. After spending three pleasant months at the port of Vacation, we pro- ceeded on our voyage, guided by our new captain, Robert Kidd. Although many storms and difficulties were encountered, after nine months of continuous sail- ing we came in sight of the beacon of Leisure Island. In the latter part of 1928 we again set sail and enthusiastically pressed on- ward. Now we began to feel our importance, for we were -second only to the best seamen. In the midst of this sea were the dangerous sand bars of Geometry, but most of us passed safely through. When a great number of the older seamen, having almost completed the journey on the seas of Knowledge were preparing to leave their ship, we prepared for them a splendid banquet, which was declared most successful and enjoyable by our superiors. This completed the third lap of our voyage. We are now first-class sea- meng we have experienced the hardships of a life at sea and now gaze forward to our goal, and at the helm stands our captain, Robert Kidd. As we come to the end of our high school days, We feel very sad to realize that we have reached the closing chapter of our history as a class. Our class has weathered many storms of adversity, and we continue to sail out of the Bay of Inexperience into the Sea of Life, with our heads up and our eyes looking forward. R1cHARp C. XVILBUR.

Although we are conscious of our limitations, we have put forth every effort to make this, the pioneer volume of the 1930 Illenznries, a success. VVe hope this issue will be an in- spiration to those who succeed us in carrying 011 this work in the years to come. lt has bCCIl the dream of the members of our class to edit this book. Any degree of success that this book might attain is proof of the hearty co-operation of the stu- de11t body in responding to those frequent calls to have your picture made today and patronize our advertisers. Seniors of '31, may you take up the work which we will leave when the Class of '30 becomes history. May you realize that it is your duty to do your best, to try to make your class and senior year the finest ever. We entrust to you the honor of our beloved schoolg may you always keep its name free from shame and its banners spotless. To our dear lllOtllCI'S and fathers who have sacrificed much that we might attend this school, we ca1111ot express in printed words our thanks and devotion. To the members of the faculty: we ask that they forget our faults and only re- member that i11 our hearts there will always be a memory of their untiring efforts to help us. VVe will take this opportunity to thank all those who had in any way a part in producing this memory book. Especially, we wish to thank our advertisers for their liberal support which has made possible the publication of this annual. It is hoped that the reader will enjoy this book and when the last page has been turned, will have caught a glimpse of the spirit that prevails in our school. So We ask appreciation of our efforts, toleration for our faults, and a tear for our memory, as the curtain falls on this, the last act of the Class of '30, THE EDITOR. 33 H u 1- 'IE Swv- M -x 'fb lp' 'Qi o.' , as mmm :last 1 m rn ef ll un umm H l l 1 .1 I- ' 4 f ,,':w ,:S afll.

Professor Weir ffdoptezl by the Fllrulty anal Sturlfnt Body at I1 Sjlfwirll fllerting in the Providence of Almighty God our beloved principal has been taken from ns by the hand of Death. We are conscious that in such an extremity human consolations do not avail, but we desire to spread upon our records some expression of our affection and esteem for our devoted leader. He was a scholar of rare attainments, a preacher of eloquence and power, and his deliver- ances in our chapel were of the noblest influence in molding the lives of his hearers. He was a teacher by instinct and training. He kindled the flame of learning in the breasts of all his pupils. He was an administrator. He took his decisions with unswerving courage and carried them out with unfailing courtesy and tact. A He was a gentleman. He embodied the virtues of his Puritan ancestry, supplemented by the traditional graces of the best manhood of the South. He was a Christian. If we were to define Christianity, we would do well to say: Chris- tianity is the way Professor Weir lived. He was our friend. The world will never know how often individual members of this body went to him and not in vain for counsel and encouragement. Therefore, be it resolved, That this faculty and student body hereby record its sense of per- sonal bereavement and official loss in the death of Wilford Franklin Weir. And Be it further resolved, That we extend to the members of his family our deepest sympathy in their loss.

He is the inexorable creditor whose indulgence nothing in the world can purchase. Every hour that sees a new-born child laugh at the light of day sees a man die, and hears the cry of a breaking heart and the lamentations of those who sit lonely and afflicted, no longer seeing the faces dearly loved. Each of us belongs to some little colony of hearts that has a life of its own, its private and inner life, apart from that of the mass of humanity, which eddies around it, in its end- less agitations, and has with it no sympathy, nor any memories of association. When one of its members dies, it is as if a limb was severed from the body. The wound heals, but the limb is missed as long as the body lives. Thus mutilated today is the student body of Rhea Central High, wrought by the death of its beloved principal and friend, WILFORD F. WEIR, who closed his eyes and crossed the mystic stream of life into the Great Beyond on Sunday morning, February 3, 1930. He was 41 years of age. He was taken in the prime of life, but it is better to live well, as did our instructor, than to live long. The length of a man's life is not measured by the number of hours during which he breathes, but by his actions and their value. A useless life is less than a span long, though it lasts a century. So, too, even though taken in the prime of his mandhood, it is often so fortunate to be spared a long sickness and disappointments, the decaying intellect and contracting heart, that so often come upon one with old age. Professor Weir sought to rival others, but that rivalry, as was said concerning Cato, was not of wealth with the rich, nor of faction with the factious. He strove to be the peer and outdoer of the boldest in bravery, of the most unpretending in modesty, of the most innocent in abstinence. He rather chose to be than to seem good, and so the less he sought for glory the more he attained it. He was always fond of the society of young people, and the gentleness of his manners, his unvarying kindness, and his evident sympathy with their warm and ardent impulses, made all love him, won their confidence, enobled their aspirations and ambition, and when he died the student body was prostrated with grief. This love and admiration he won by no studied art, by no relaxation of necessary discipline, but by his noble bearing, his uniform kindness and the happy blending in his demeanor or modesty with self-reliance, gentleness with firmness, dignity with suavity of manner. His monument will not be built of common stones, nor will we gather such flowers to cast upon his grave as grow in common fields. Nothing that was exemplary of him was put in his grave, and his monument will need no inscription, for his epitaph is written in the hearts of the student body as well as his friends, and the tears of those who loved him do speak of him in a far more eloquent language than marble or bronze. His body was laid tenderly and reverently to rest in the family cemetery on the brow of a great hill. Let the tears of love that rained upon it hallow his grave. Leave his body lying there in its bed of honor. If the snows spread for a time their white mantle over it, they too will soon dissolve into tearsg and when the fair days of spring return again and time begins to soften sorrow into a more measured grief, the grass watered by tears will grow upon it, and the flowers planted by gentle hands will bloom there, and round it through all the com- ing years his virtues will keep watch, ranked as a guard of immortal honor. 35 H ll 'f t- 'ni Ein- M Vx 'Q ,i 1 QI!

No one is allowed to join the club unless he has been in at least three love tragedies, and he must have scars to show for all three. 2. He must believe firmly in our slogan, and give at least five reasons why our slogan is true. 3. He must meet all classes once in a while. 4.. If a member falls in love he immediately loses his membership and is an out- cast of the club. 5. If a member of the club is caught Hashing his eyes in the direction of one of the weaker sex he is fined from f-ive to fifty cents by Chief Big Boob. The club meets every VVednesday night in some secluded spot away from women. The club house is beautifully decorated with Lipsticks, Powder-puffs, Toilet Articles, etc., and the mem- bers sometimes get rough enough to drink chocolate milks. A number of Stag Parties, Theatre Parties, and Mystery Parties have been given this year. Richard Langley, a former member of the club, was kicked out because of his failure to keep rule four, and it looks as though our Chief Goofy Boob will be the next to go.
