IUNE CLASS HISTORY Rachael Payne, Historian Now in the beginning, in the fourth and thirtieth year of our Lord, it came to pass that there entered into the Val- ley of Learning a band of fifty in quest of the Heights of Knowledge. And as they did enter into this land they were met with great clamors of rejoicing from those who had journeyed before them and who decreed that the wending by-ways would be slippery, like unto a road-way moistened by spring rains, for a band so youthful. But these seekers took heart and did bravely set forth upon their journey. Their trials and tribulations were great in the first year. But lo, after a length of time, they did attain the heights of the Sopho- more Class. And in the second year the band val- iantly struggled over the rough soil of they sor- the Land of Learning. At times were greatly oppressed and were rowful in their journey. But when they did gain vision of the junior Year they felt rewarded for their great struggle. And in the seven and thirtieth year, being the third year of the journey, it came to pass that there went out a de- cree from the School Board that the school should from henceforth be known as the john W. Hanes High School. And when these tidings were made known great cries of rejoicing were sent up into the skies. And the band did labor hard and put forth great effort to gain the heights of the Senior Class. And as this band did pass into the fourth year of its journey it overtook certain ones who had strayed from the l'.'1g4' uni' liilmllvil lurly classes with which they had gone forth. And the Class of Eight and Thirty, see- ing their great sorrow and distress, did look upon them with pity and gathered them within their band. Now it being the custom to choose one of the wise and mighty to lead the band, the Class of Eight and Thirty did thereby elect Miss Carrie Dungan as sponsor. And she spake unto them Sai'- ing: Organize yourselves that ye might become strong. And in response the class did elect its leaders-Robert New- some as president, Frances Tucker as vice-president, Hilda Futrell as secretary, and Eleanor Tesh as treasurer. Now in the midst of these seekers of knowledge there dwelt certain persons who did attain great achievements. Among those were three mayors of the School-Robert Newsome, Cvray Sher- mer, and F. L. Wooten-who did wisely lead the student body. The great suc- cess of the triangular debating was due to three of those who did journey with that band-Margie Fulp, Doris Poindex- ter, and F. L. Wooten. ln the third year Raymond Holder, being swift of foot and alert in mind, was chosen cap- tain of the basketball team. Now Edwin Clark, being gifted in the art of jour- nalism, was made editor of the Pine Whispers during the forth year. And so it has come to pass that this Class of Eight and Thirty, after climb- ing four years toward the Heights of Knowledge, does gain sight of the Pro- mised Land and enter into the Plains of Life and Experience.
