Senior History President — — James Nichols Secy.-treas. — Gwendolyn Howard Class Colors — White and Blue Class Flower — Yellow Rose Advisor — — Mr. Lundber Mo tic: Don’t try dying, but die trying In the fall of 1937 a group of green, frightened, Freshmen stepped into the doors of the Riddle High School. We were Gwen Howard, James Nichols, Carl Glanville, Henry Rigsby, Elwood Townsend, Lorraine Parker, Jean Hiles and Myrtle Griggs. We were initiated into the school by an unusual freshman initiation for, instead of the usual pranks, the upper classmen gave us a very nice dinner. After the initiation we took more part in the school activities and our class helped out the athletics in a big way. The second year found us without Lorraine Parker. We were not so green as the first year and helped the school to carry on. The third year we had a new member, Eugene Carpenter. This year was a busy one for us as we were upper classmen. We helped with the “Green R” and the annual, also in the plays. Some of the events during the year were the Junior-Senior Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The last year was one to be remembered throughout our lives. One of the main events was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held in the Domestic Science room on May 23. A lovely turkey dinner was enjoyed by all. We had the same class with the exception of Henry Rigsby. The members were Gwen Howard, Jim Nichols, Carl Glanville, Elwood Townsend, Jean Hiles, Eugene Carpenter, and Myrtle Griggs. -(15)- O
