61644 Jfidl Bi' ANNIE Evaivosiisr Youmz -All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time: Some with massive deeds and great. Some with ornaments of rhymef -Longfellow. Cn a certain Septemher day in the year 1937, we, a group of highfschool graduates, entered Georgia State In- dustrial College. We were given the task of guiding the stately Ship of Education over the rough waves of the Sea of Knowledge. With heiit hacks we gathered up the nec- essary equipment, then set sail for our destination. The first year ahoard the ship was spent in making prof grams of impression for the long journey ahead of us. A few of the passengers decided that they wanted to go hack. The reason for their decision we'll never know: hut hack they went. The first stop made on the journey was at Sophomore. Isle. Here we niet Louise Laurier and Ralph Young and Paul Dixon who wanted to go with us to the Isle of Graduation. After assuring them that we were happy to have them in our midst, we cont nued our iourf ney. Then things hegan to happen on hoard the ship. It was discovered that Leroy Bolden was talented for ora- toryg that Ladell Tiller, Miss Letha Tarver and Mr. Grover Euhanks were destined to hecome star haskethall players: that Marjorie Pughsley was a great songsterg that 'lohnnie Marvin Wliite, Jordan could play a saxaphone: that Charles Lyons and Alonza Ninons were memhers of the Collegiate Orchestra, that Annie Young and Louise Lauf tier had talent for writing. All of these things were dis' Why we develf covered in one year! What did we do? oped a program in honor of the school chairs. That's what we did. While Annie Young played soft, sweet music, Leroy Bolden in his resonant voice made a speech dedicated to the chair. Right at that moment a wireless came from our Guiding Star, President B, F. Huhert say' ing, Sophornores, how are you coming? Our Captain looked around from his helm and said, Tell him we are rising Shortly afterward we heard a terrihle scream coming from the Chemistry Lahoratory. Upon rushing there we found that Elizaheth Wells had heen hurt. She was immediately put ahed where she remained for quite a while. As the cloud covers up the sun, so this unfortuf nate accident covered up our trip to junior Isle. How- ever, the gale was weathered and vie soon reached Junior Isle. Here we met Elizaheth Livingstone and Matthew Burke, Harvey Walden and George Hall. We asked them to join us, and this they did gladly. Then off we started for Senior Isle! A lusty voice was raised singing: Shipmates stand together, Don't give up the ship, and immediately the whole ship seemed to he singing. The trip to Senior Isle was indeed a glorious one. During this trip Leroy Bolden, prominent memher of our crew, hegan training for the Ahhot Sengstacke Gratorical Contest. Did D. . he win first prize? You het your hoots he did. Whoever heard of a meniher of our class heing defeated? These good sailors worked for scholarship. Uur Captain, Edward Peterson, told us that we would have to enter' tain the inhahitants of Senior Isle, so we worked together for this gala affair and set the level for the -lunior-Senior promenade. We reached the Isle safely where we were received hy Mrs. A. M. Hall, Mrs, Mildred johnson, Mrs. Hattie Reese, Miss Frankie Golden and Miss Rohert Greyar. Soon after we set rail for the Isle of Graduation raking our hostesses with us. We arranged a numher of programs for the entertainment of our guests, the Fresh' men, Sophomores and hluniors. Matthew Burke was chosen our Captain for the year. More diligent and conscientious workers than the Senior Sailors were not to he had. Under the leadership of Mr. Burke we made a few dis' tinct achievements which will attest to the potentialities which for sometime lay dormant in this great hody Through our efforts we defeated the juniors and Sophof mores to crown Eli:aheth Wells 'iMiss Georgia State Col' lege 3Sf3fl. We followed this up hy reviving the Stu' dent Forum, and fostering a numher of wellattended gatherings. VVe were also instrumental in designing and standardizing the college class iewelry. The fact that the group worked so well together does not say that there was no individual achievement. In every activity these stalwarts were standing out. In instrumental music. George Hall, Harvey Black and Annie Young distinf guished themselves as did Marjorie Pughsley, Rufus Spenser, Roscoe jones and Richard Bennett in vocal music. Nathaniel Mayes served for two years as assist- ant coach of girls haskethall, with Letha Tarver and Ladcll Tiller hecoming two of his star charges. Harvey Wztldeii, Leroy Gordon, Samuel Byrd and Rutherford Lockettee hecame mainestays on the foothall aggregation. Leroy Bolden hecame editor-in-chief of the Georgia Her' ald. Annie Young, Louise Lautier, Nathaniel Mayes and Leroy Bolden hecame outstanding in Dramatics. The crowning achievement on the part of this nohle crew was the puhlishing of the second edition of the I'Iuhertonian. Now it was learned that one of our lively passengers. Ladell Tiller, had heen taken with a serious illness, and had to he sent home. Sad at heart were we, hut sail on we must. A little tired and weary from our long journey. we docked at the Isle of Graduation where we collected our materials and passed off the ship. Proudly, if a little tearfully, looking at our stately Alma Mater, we recited in a hody from Longfellow: Thou, lou, Sail on, G Ship of State! Sail on, O Union. strong and great! Humanity with all its fears. W'ith all the hopes of Iuture years. ls hanging hreatliless on thy fate! Page 23
