To us, the Seniors of ’40, 1929 was an eventful year in another way. In that year about thirty youngsters entered the first grade of Smoaks Public Schools. As the years went by we lost quite a few members because of various reasons, yn the other hand we gained about as many as we lost. Of the thirty that began in 1929 there are now only seven of this number in the senior class. The first of these seven is Jeff barren. Jeff has not grown much physically, oat mentally he has been a great asset to us. If it were not for Jewel Smith's excellent work one would net kuCW that she was present, for Jewel's behavior has always been of the best quality. One of our greatest assets in the athletic world was found in Mendel Smoak. There is hardly a sport in which he has not been a participant. Ruth Varnadoe cones under the heading of our oependaol quiet, and very industrious students. In most groups there will be found an artist, Earl Bamsey has this ability coupled with the desire to be a part of all fun. Proa the records on file since 1929, Jack Connor has been an outstanding student through the eleven years. He was not athletically inclined but he was the life saver for the entire class when it carae to difficult problems. The first new member of oui class was Jack barren. Jack is an excellent student and has always worked for the best of the class. Hazel Harrell, the next student to ioin us has always been above average in her work and activities. (Jur luckiest year was 1936 It was then that we gained seven new students. 1 i - ; j !2222772Z 77777777777ZZZZZ22ZZZJ7ZZZ2 SBHlpR CLASS HISTORY Sfdwin Barnes has been one of our athletic” Is very canable. Lillian Smoak has added nucli to the life of our class. Harold Spell was one of our power in the field mathemetics and English. Our inseper L'ble, sisters have been Annie Lois and Dorothy Hutto. They have always co-operated with the class. Martha Sauls ha s been outstanding in Home Economics and is one of our hardest-working and most faithful members. Our tallest girl, Mildred Maxey, has been one of our most outstanding athletes. Edward Lyons is one of our, quietest members. His motto seems to have been to rtmlnd his own business”. 0 ®uv usually merry class increased its merriness about two-folds with the addition of Virginia Culpepper and DotllSmith. Virginia is our outstanding musician and Do: has been a friend of all and it is impossible to be around her and not be her friend. Our comedian and second Will Rogers i s Bruce Harrell. There has never been a dull moment since he joined us. Billie Hadgett is our tlDizzy Dean” but he is not a holr out. He is very cooperative and has n very fine spirit. cack Steedly and his guitar have become inseparable is our Romeo;r He The last student to join us was Bdwiii Crosby. He has always been attentive in class and has never been a disturber of the peace1.' ■ e were very unfortunate to have lost Alva Linder, one of our members, due to illness during our Senior year. vie are glad learn thou h-that Alva v ill return rext year and continue his course of studies • L Y V A ✓ ■ Y .
