Class History Part I On September 6, 1918, as the doors of the Roxboro High School opened, we the nearest you know, rushed in to take possession of the room deserted by the last years Freshmen, fearing lest some one might get there before us. To our delight, we were placed under the supervision of Miss Grace Osborne, one of the sweetest teachers ever. During this year, we, with the rest of the High School formed two literary societies, the E. K. Graham and O’Henry. On St. Valentine Day the O’Henry society entertained the E. K. Graham in the school auditorium. Everyone seemed to have greatly enjoyed this occasion as it was the first real party we had attended that year. Also in this year we joined the athletic clubs and won many games of basketball from teams of nearby towns. Thus gloriously ended our first year. Part [1 We entered into the second year of our work whole-heartedly. It was during this term that we were placed under the care of our honored and much loved Miss Mildred Satterfield. We went to work thinking of the goal before us and our second year slipped away, as most Sophomores, happy and joyfully. PAGE TWENTY-TWO

With the help of Miss Talbutt, our room teacher for the year, we organized our class. Eddie Perkins was elected President; Edwin Eberman, Treasurer; and Elaine Goode, Secretary. In Febru- ary, with the aid of Miss Goode and Miss Talbutt, we gave our class play, the proceeds of which went to entertain the Seniors and Faculty near the close of school. Part IV With Miss Mildred Satterfield again as our guide, we are now “dignified Seniors” on the “home stretch” of our long four years race, almost ready to grasp those coveted Diplomas hanging alluringly in front of us. At the beginning of the year our former officers were unanimously reelected. However, the first of the year brought a deep regret to all of us, for Elaine, the best class-mate of all, moved to Reidsville leaving us minus a Secretary. Later “your humble scribe” was chosen secretary in her place. Now the class of ’22 bids farewell to the High School that is so dear to the hearts of its members.
