ll r. QLM.. HISTORY OF IANUARY CLASS OF 1937 julian Daye, Historian It was in nineteen hundred and thirty- three-a cold winter-filled with joyous promise-that the good ship Reynolds High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a school year. This ship had carried many passengers to the land of Great Wisdom, but this was a day to be re- membered in history. A number of charming young ladies and gentlemen stepped aboard, for they had been told that they were to sail over new waters in quest of The Fountain of Higher Edu- cation. To me was entrusted the important task of writing the log of the voyage- the voyage that all realized was the most important of their lives. My narrative begins with the trip through the Fresh- man Islands of smaller learning. We chose for the first voyage Howard Sel- lars captain, who proved his capability of undertaking command. We cheerfully rolled on waves of Al- gebra, Latin, and English. There were a few cases of seasickness, but the stew- ardess assured us that we would have to consume these indigestibles over and over until they were assimilated. Intellectu- ality was aboard disguised as Rodger Avery, who attained high honors in his studies. There is little to relate concerning this trip, as we were inexperienced voyagers whose ambition was to complete our tour in style, ln january, 1934, one-fourth of our journey was complete. At the now fa- miliar wharf we reembarked upon the Reynolds High to sail upon the seas to the land of Sophomore. We encountered typhoons of triangles, tangents, and forty-five degree anglesg we were destined to face storms of Latin and English. We sailed bravely on, and only a few met disaster. How proud I was to be chosen captain for this voyage. Over the four seas, we, the class of 1937, were to sail, we had now steamed BLACK AND GOLD over two. New and more delightful ex- periences were ahead as we greeted our Iunior year in january, 1935. The helmsman set his course for the large Iunior Peninsula that jutted out from Sophomore Land. From bow to stern, we frolicked about, forgetting all bash- fulness that accompanys the lowerclass- men. Whom could we have chosen bet- ter to take command than Edward Dize? Possibly the seas inspire music, for Stan- ley Fishel won his share of honors with his inseparable clarinet. We had become careless in our confidence and were stu- dying with much less vigour than we had as lower-classmen. We had been carefree and gay just as the traditional junior, but in time our instructors warned us that soon we would be seniors and must buckle down to hard and earnest work. With dignity and pride the Class of 1937 steamed away from the wharf for our last cruise on the Reynolds High, We chose as captain William Murphey. This last stage in our voyage was the most important. We had no time for gayety, for we had all we could do to fulfill our school activities. We began to stand out in the various activities. To athletics we contributed Thompson Woodall, lim Swaim, George Page, O'Dell Childress, james Phillips, Dunn Midyette, and Edward Dize. Carl Dix- son was chosen captain of the 1936 State Champion Tennis Team of Reynolds High. Records from my log of the cruise show Ruth Hauser and Harry Nunn to be most intellectual of the voyagers. The end of this year brings to a close four happy years of educational voyag- ing and beginning of the Voyage of Real Life that all must some day embark upon. We have stood together through storms and gales, and not once did we give up the ship. The tides of ourbvoyage have fContinued on page 204j Page one hundred fifteen 1., i
