Rosenwald High School - Torch Yearbook (Harlan, KY)

Page 27 text:

In the year of 1944 the now almighty seniors were beginning as Fresh- men, knowing that we would face many hardships and many misunderstandings, in the years to come, but we lived up to our motto which is: HE WHO CON- QUERS, CONQUERS HIMSELF . In the beginning, rourth - and fortieth year of our Lord, in the ninth month there entered into this land of learning six- and- fifty seekers of knowledge. Some came from one school and some from another, but never-the- less we were grouped together as one group. And as we dwelt together we became acquainted with the behavior and the ways of our fellow students. Our first year we were honored by having Miss Geraldine Tye as Quaen Attendant and Miss Alberta Robinson as Sweetheart of Rosenwald. During this we were well represented in the Who ' s Who in Rosenwald, with students from our class winning such honors as most versatile, most popular, friendliest, ' cutest, smartest and the prettiest. As we started our second year our class was somewhat smaller with a number totaling eight- and- thirty. Some of those that were missing had gone to various other schools and some had quit. And that year we were honored by having the Football Queen, Miss Bet tye Sue Mills, and also the Sweetheart Kiss Evelyn Martin. This was a year of progress and success and all the students enjoyed it very much. Ir our third year we were honored by having the Co-Queen Miss Stella Thompson and Miss Bernyce Jackson Sweetheart. Our class had the most outstanding athletics and this was also a prosperous year. We were honored by having the Football Queen Miss Mary Puller. We were again victorious for the fourth consecutive year, in having Miss Sarah Copeland as Rosenwald ' s Sweetheart. We found our Senior year very pleasant excepting French when the vag- ueness of it crept through our wondering minds. We were looking forward to our graduation and are proud to graduate from Rosenwald High. ROSA PEA GIN AND LOR EN Z A CHAMBERS 13
