GLASS HISTORY OF 1942 We, the class of ' 42 commenced our journey at Rosenwald four years ago. Four years seemed endless to us as Freshmen. By the end of our Freshmen year many had become disheartened and tired, some had been transferred to other schools, matrimony called others. A few misfortunes has befallen others, but there were a faithful few who were determined to reach their goal. Our freshman year rolled around quickly. Soon we were sophomores, the wisest people in the world. Miss Mary Lee Rhodman became our president, various other members became affiliated with the Red Devil football team. Those outstanding were, Robert James, Norman and Richard Morris, Wesley Eliott, and George Washington. Not only did we excel in football but also in Dramatics, Debating, Girls Reserve, and the Choral Club. Mamie Gore was elected secretary of treasurer of the Girl Reserve in the eastern colored district. Dramatics held a place for members during this journey, outstanding were Queen E. Cornett, Robert James, Norman Morris, Mamie Gore, Norma Jean Parks Ralphie Amos and Wesley Eliott. The almighty junior year rolled around, the journey was a long and tough one but we were still fighting. Our extra curricular program offered us so much diversion and entertainment until our worries were made into minor ones, at last we were seniors only seventeen in number. This is the land mark in the history in the lives of the graduating class. It marks the fruition of their first milestone of 1938. ! i I
