F ?'x' Q' g ,io . ' 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.
