This desire gathered together a group of boys and girls who, through four years of association together, became a well- knit, understanding, and friendly group. During the time of our freshman and sophomore years, we were combined with the sixth and seventh grades, as our school was then a junior high. Although electing no class officers, we were well represented in the student organization, During our sophomore year we were fortunate in having four of our classmates elected to the four big oflices of the or- ganization. They were: president, Ben- nett Noell, vice president, Lessie johnsong secretary, Marian Vaughng and assistant secretary, Harold Southern. Qur class was organized during our junior year. Under the leadership of l-loyle Mann, president, Lessie johnson, vice president, and Wilmoth Lemmons, secretary and treasurer, we were soon high in organization work. james Wall, Harold Southern, Lessie johnson, and Marian Vaughn had outstanding school jobs that year. Throughout our junior year our social life was not neglected. We had many parties and banquets which were enjoyed by all. During the spring of our junior year we had with our sponsor, Miss Eleanor Cain, many good times. lhxqi- sf ly I ln the fall of 1935 we reached the top , and were accorded the coveted sen- ior privileges. We placed the leadership of our class in the responsible hands of james Wall, president, Ralph Leonard, vice-president, Richard Cline, secretary, and Lessie john- son, treasurer. We particularly enjoyed a Halloween party given by the social committee of the class at Sara Alspaugh's home. During this period of our class, we again enjoyed the privilege of having a great number of our workers holding high positions in the organization. james Wall, Harold Southern, Ralph Leonard, Sara Alspaugh, jessie Mae Wall, and Wilmoth Lemmons took prominent places again. The school sponsored a pep song con- test, and we won with the song Are You from South High? written by Roland Lakey. With this we cheered our first football team on to victory. In the second semester of our senior year we reelected james Wall president of our class to serve with the following officers: Clyde Whicker, vice-president, Wilmoth Lemmons, secretary, and Fred York, treasurer. We greatly enjoyed the junior-Senior Reception. There was dancing and ex- cellent food. The time to leave our Alma Mater has come all too soon. We are separated now, but still united in one thought- Back our hearts shall turn to praise thee, Dear South Senior High. BLACK AND GOLD
