Glau of '40 J ' BY One bright day in September, l936, we the senior class of '40, entered Rule School for the first time. Our high school career lay before us like an open book. We spent most of the first year getting acquainted. Nothing of unusual interest happened during this year but when the end of the term came we hated to part, even though three months. September, i937 found us back ot Rule. in the auditorium we were token to Miss Elsie Moe Peters, our home group teachers. it was for only After gathering Banks and Miss On arrival we found a few of our number missing, but most of our class- mates were bock. The year slipped by too quickly and we regretfully went home for three more months' vacation. But there was joy in knowing that we would return in the foll. ln September, l938, we were eager to get to school be- cause it was to mean more' than just greeting old friends. Our first football team 'woilld carry the blue and gold banner on the gridron. In June our first graduating class would step out in the world. After meeting in the auditorium we were token to our new home group teachers, Mr. Sompley and Mr. Davis. We chose the following class officers. Mr. Sampley's group, President, Lester King, Vice-President, John Black- stock, Secretory ond Treasurer, Kathleen lngle, Reporter, Mildred Compton. Mr. Davis' group: President, Robert Mon- ley, Vice-President, Ross Roberts, Secretary, Agnes Stair, Treasurer, Alvin Thornton, Reporter, Ruby Swaggerty. The big event of our junior year was the senor class picnic at Tyson Park. This was o very enjoyable occasion for it set a new standard for other classes-that of o Junior- Senior social function to which each Senior class looks for- ward with much pleasure. The end of another year rolled around. Rule High was proud of her first graduating class of thirty-one members. The Baccalaureate Sermon was delivered by Rev. Louis Melcher. For Class night, o beautiful pageant entitled, Youth Marches On was presented. The following night, after an inspiring address by Dr. Charles C. Sherrod of State Teachers' College, the senior class received their diplomas, presented by Dr. H. E. Christenberry, Chairman of the Board of Education. Now they have stepped out into the world to take their places as worthy ond honorable citizens. ln September we were back in school for our senior year. Our home group teachers were Miss Dowell, Miss Gibson, and Mr. Coile. The big event of the fall term was a Halloween party on October 30 here at the school. Also last fall several of the boys of our class participated in sports which they enjoyed very much. In January we finally stepped into the complete role of seniors. We elected the following class officers: President, Robert Manleyi Vice-President, Kenneth Roby, Secretory, Barbara Fritts, Treasurer, Edna Arnwine, Social Chairman, Alberta Childress. On February ll, we had o Valentine party to which we invited lost yeor's graduates. April 26 we were the guests of the Junior class at the first Junior-Senior Banquet at Rule. The Junior class remem- bered the teachers, who had helped make the banquet a success, by giving them gifts. Gene Bullard was toastmaster. May 3 the senior class presented the play, Don't Eever Grow Up. The leading characters were: Beatrice Teffetteller, Bob Smith, Estelene Bateman, Kenneth Roby, Edna Arnwine, Paul Summers, and Walter Williams. On May I6 we had o chapel program. The following class documents were read by their authors, with the excep- tion of the prophecy which was written to be dromatized. Song-Kenneth Roby, Will-Barbara Fritts, Prophecy-Kath- leen lngle, Poem-Bob Smith, Creed-Earl Hodges, and His- tory-Velma Underwood. On May l7 came the gala event of the year, the long looked for senior banquet at the S. Cr. W. Cafeteria. lt was o beautiful sight to see the girls in their new evening dresses and the boys in their new suits. The program, consisting of music and readings, was enjoyed by everyone. Kenneth Raby made a good toastmaster. Moy 24 we had the senior outing ot Norris Lake. We not only enjoyed the beauty of the lake and its surrounding scenery in spring bue we had the thrill of being out on the lake in a cruiser. We left school after the fifth period and got back late that night. The end of our high school career is here. Although we hate to think of leaving Rule and our classmates we have a sincere joy in our hearts because we ore a little higher up the ladder of success. Our Baccalaureate Sermon was deliver- ed by Rev. Harry Cook in the auditorium of the school. Class night we presented a pageant entitled, A Southern Rosary . The following night we received our diplomas after an in- spiring address by Dr. John A. Thackston of the University of Tennessee. Now we step out in the world to take our places. May we be worthy, honorable citiens of whom Rule High can be proud. Moy we have a strong determination in our hearts to succeed but keep cheerful smiles on our faces because, as one of our poets tells us: Smile and you o friendship, Frown and you make o foe, Weep and you lose your laughter, - Lough and you cure your woe, Love for the joy of loving, Fight for o battle won, Live for the sake of living, Work for o tosk well done. SENIOR CLASS POEM WE CAN'T FORGET Our play is over. the curtain falls Upon our final act. When we are done, no beckoning calls Ring out to bring us back. Four years it has taken, to reach at last The climax of our play. Four acts in which the scenes has past Rapidly upon their way. As we take our bow and leave the stage, We leave with much regret: Knowing we're turning the final page On memories we can't forget. Of't times we've forgotten and had to be told, When perhaps we missed our cue- But the lessons taught under the Blue and Gold ' Only increased our love for you. As years roll on and we drift apart. The ideals will always seen nigh, Deeply embedded in all our hearts The ideals we've learned at Rule High. By Walter M. Williams. Ir. Page Twenty-one
