HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1939 In the Autumn of 1935. school opened with about 700 students. approximately 300 of whom were Freshmen. What times we did have trying to find various classes and to leam teachers and schoolmates. Some of the events of this year were the organization of the Freshmen Literary Club of which Elizabeth Hogg was President: Margaret Reagan. Vice President: Era Davis. Secretary: and Kath- erine Iohnson. Treasurer: the Glee Club in which Nessmith Lytle. Evelyn Iones. Polly Branch. and Vivian Ables took part. More freshmen, I presume would have been taken into the Glee Club. had they not been too frightened to utter a note. Retuming to school in 1936 with our spirits high. we glorified sophomores took a more active part in the school activities. We were more fortunate this year in that more members made the Glee Club and Nessmith Lytle made the Sextet. Two distinctions of the sophomore year were the organization of the Sophomore Literary Club with Betty Iones as president. and the selection of Katherine Iohnson as a cheer leader. Thus. ends our Sophomore Year. As iuniors we hopefully began our third year, taking part in most of the clubs and other activi- ties. Katherine Iohnson was elected President of the Spanish Club and Mary Anne Garrard was elected Secretary ofthe Glee Club. Juniors edited one issue of the school paper. The Roman. We were victorious in the Iunior-Senior Debate. the Iunior debaters being Frances Howell and Bobby Battle. But. as seniors. we regret to say. we lost the debate. However. we can truthfully say that our representatives. Amy Ruth Bradfield and Raymond Broach. went down fighting. A big event of this year was the completion and inauguration of the new lighted football field. The High School Band. a new organization that is now one of the best in this section of the coun- try. made its first appearance. About two weeks before school was out. one of our most beloved teachers. Miss Grace Erwin. was taken ill and passed away. She was moumed by all who lmew her. And so. as dignified seniors. we enter into our last year at Rome High School. With Virginia Carson as President of the Senior Class: Walter Ross. Vice President: Marie Iones. Secretary: Dunlap Scott. Treasurer: Mary Anne Garrard. Historian: Polly Branch, Prophet: Ruby Iewel Baugh. Poet: Nessmith Lytle and Bob Martin. Giftorians. One of our classmates. Raymond Breach. was made business manager of the football team. Several of the senior boys played such good football that Rome High won the Seventh District Championship. Both boys and girls took an active part in basketball. The clubs in which many seniors merited their memberships were: French Club with Betty Iones as president: Spanish Club headed by Betty Ann Yates: Glee Club with Violet Moak as pres- ident: Commercial Law Club directed by Alton Pruitt: Tri-Hi-Y Club led by Elizabeth Hogg: Hi-Y presided by Bobby Battle and Scribblers' Club with Era Davis as president. Virginia Carson. Anne King and David Andrews were three new cheer-leaders to ioin Kath- erine Iohnson and Mary Anne Garrard. Some of the maior activities of our last year were football. basketball. Kid Day, Iunior-Senior Debate. Basketball Toumament. Scribblers' Banquet. Roman Staff. Senior Play and Circus. The Roman won its second Certificate of Distinction. awarded by the Henry W. Grady School of Ioumalism at Georgia. A new school for girls is being erected and the old building has been remodeled. As soon as the work on the old building had been completed. the building burned so all the work had to be done over. School was closed for a week. We Seniors have had a grand time here at Rome High School and it is with our heads held high that we step out of our places to make way for the iuniors. -Mun: Amr: Gnxuuutn
