juNE cmss Hisronv Bob Garvey, Historian g It was in September, 1934, that wc, the class of '38, arrived on this Hill. We were just a little greener, just a lit- tle fresher, and a great deal wiser tso we thoughtj than any of our predeces- sors. ln that year our wisdom was shown in our refusal to pay the fictitious radiator assessment artifice. As fresh- men we organized under the leadership of Bill Isley, who, like Napoleon, was small in statue, Our share of power in the Student Council was invested in Mel- muth Thompson. Now in the second year of our stay in this fortress of learning our ranks were replenished with a multitude of demonia- cal people called freshmen. Their ver- dure excelled that of spring. In striking contrast one observed the children of '38, They bore the title Sophomore, which, being translated into the langu- age of the sages, means wise fool. However we thought this nomenclature was unjust. Bill Isley, our former lead- er, again came to the front in the Stu- dent Council election. As juniors we chose our officers: Bill Vawter, president, Bill Isley, vice-pres- identg Phyllis Gosselin, secretaryg Fran- ces Reynolds, treasurer. ln this new state of our metamorphosis, we had an at- mosphere quite our own. We were nei- ther foolishly sophomorish nor childishly freshmanish. Plans for our junior- Senior dance, which had been the ma- jor topic of discussion during the latter half of the year, culminated into a suc- cessful social event. Soon after our junior-Senior dance the seniors had their graduation exer- cises in which eight of our best looking juniors served as Senior Marshalls. These were: Dorcas Poindexter, Phyl- lis Morgan, Mildred Weavil, Virginia Page scvrn fy-two Clay, Lilly Sutton Ferrell, Bettie Sprunt, Margaret Whittington, and Frances Reynolds, who was the chief marshall. When we reentered school in Septem- ber, 1937, we were beginning to realize that a little diligence must needs be ex- ercised. A history of the senior class would be far from complete without a brief review of our general activities. A- side from the classroom where our work had been commendable, there were var- ious other activities. When the elections were held this year, Charles Reece was elected presi- dent of our classg Leroy Honeycutt, vice-presidentg Phyllis Morgan, secre- tary, and Frank Smith, treasurer. ln the school election Bill Cody was elected president of the student body and Vir- ginia Clay, vice-president. In the field of journalism some of the outstanding members of our class are: Elizabeth Tucker, now serving her sec- ond term as the editor of the Black and Gold tno one has ever had this honor before in our schooll, Mary Alice Ader, managing editor of the Black and Goldg Eugenia Baynes, editor of the Pine Whis- pers, Melba Mackie, managing editor of the Pine Whispersg jim Vawter is the sports editor of the Pine Whispers. The business management of the Pine Whis- pers fell to Alice Cahill and the business management of the Black and Gold to Al- bert Wilson. Arch Taylor, who came into our class from that of '37, won the current events contest at the S. l. P. A. convention this year. Arch also won the Alliance Francaise in 1937. We have spent four years within the walls of Reynolds High School and there can be no doubt that she has left fContinued on Page 2l6l REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL

BLACK AND GOLD IUNE CLASS POEM 2 me ' ' l. Iessie Evans Brunt, Poet Reynolds, we salute thee, From our hearts salute thee. Within thy halls is knowledge found And wisdom shining, honor-crowned: With faltering steps we've sought their And often failed-renewed the fight: Today the end, the victor's hour, Proclaims thy service and thy power, Reynolds, we salute thee, Gratefully salute thee. Life, we stand to greet thee, All alone to greet theeg Each person must decide his fate And stand or fall-life will not wait: Some may attain great wealth or fame, But what are these-a purse, a name?
