Russell High School - Pointer Yearbook (East Point, GA)

Page 32 text:

HISTORY The Class of 1933 entered into a new and unknown realm as freshmen in the fall of 1929. This class was composed mostly of students from East Point, College Park, Hapeville, and Ben Hill. At first we had only rather vague ideas of our new standards. However, we became acquainted with the faculty, were fully initiated by upper classmen, and began our work in an energetic spirit. Our first vacation was a joyful one, but we were all more anxious to be in school than we believed ourselves. We had learned the meaning of school spirit, and were beginning to take a real pride in chear 01d Russell? When our second years work was started in September, 1930, we re- newed old acquaintances, welcomed many new students, as well as teach- ers, and settled down to another year of hard work. We were more than happy when time for vacation came. We had three glorious months of summer sports and gaieties. During our junior year, although we took up several new subjects and had to study harder, we found time to entertain the graduating class, and for other activities. According to usual procedure the year drew to an end and we were given another three months to pursue our own pleasures. We began our senior year with a new principal, Mr. Paul D. West, whose new policies have been very much to our liking and advantage. This has been a busy year for us with our numerous activities and our more advanced studies. We may point with pride to the achievements of our class in scholarship and athletics carried on during our years at Russell. Our class is fully represented in the various literary endeavors and all phases of athletics. And now the end approaches. A few days more and we cross the threshold of a new life. That will be the real test and we trust that the future holds for every member of this class of 1933 as much pleasure and real success as our school days have given.

The rocks and reefs around us whirled, The foams came dashing high, Yet we drove on through all this swirl And passed all dangers by. Our way was blocked by many snares, Our future 0ft grew dim, But we were victors through our dares, For we fought with greatest vim. The way grew shorter than before Our journey was to end, The future held a waiting door Just past the river,s bend. The goal was won by trials fought Which often seemed severe, But now that we are safely brought We hold them very dear. Now, as we stand upon the shore And view lifeis far-wide land, We,ll strive as we have done before To conquer foes at hand. SARAH IVEY, 733. xi; -iagyrdayrwy; -e - - - ere- - e - -'- ewe e; .....
