SENIOR fClLASS lHIlIS'll'OlEt'iY Graduation! It hardly seems possible that the 66 eager. green freshmen of 1943 could have evolved to form the 41 dignified, well-educated, prospective alumni of 1947. But, by recognition of the great power of time, we realize that this is possible and an actuality. We were a typical wartime class, made up al- most entirely of youngsters and young women. With typical wartime speed, we organized within two months after our arrival. Our first ofiicers were: Charles Farrar. President: Doreatha McHardy, Secretary: Mayme Shuler, Treasurer. Immediately, we began to make ourselves felt in all activities and classes of the campus. Two-thirds of the class went into the pre-medical department, and the balance went into either French, Music or English. On the basketball team, our athletic prowess was adequately displayed by Jesse Boston and William Jackson. When organizations began their periods of initiation, our academic and social standing was exemplified by the large number of us who achieved mem- bership. As the year sped on to an end, we were the recipients of several of the prizes given at commencement time. Eunice Tucker received the Biology prize: Erma Ligon, the prize for improvement in Freshman English: and Corine Wright, the prize for Qualitative Analysis. We returned our Sophomore year minus many of our classmates for numerous reasons, especially the eternal draft. Martha Goodson came back as Mrs. Jones, thus giving us our first marriage. We began that year with the following officers: Hugh Marshall, President: Ruth Edgecombe, Secretary: and Mayme Shuler, Treas- urer. We had several new members replenishing our depleted ranks. From North Carolina State came Beatrice Carter. Doris McKinney, Lily Hicks, Doreatha Baxter and Juanita Pullen. From Alcorn A. St M. we had Adriena Carter. There were also Vivian Harris and Helen Gill. As this year rolled on, we held our various prominent places with ever increasing dignity and pride. The Clionic Society was organized this year and we figured representatively among the charter members. In the field of prizes. Eunice Tucker received the first prize for excel- lence in literary composition and Frances DeYoung received the first prize in the dramatic expression contest. Before we realized it September 1945 arrived and we were privileged juniors, or so we thought. The end of the war had come and with it veterans-filling our new class membership. They were old St. Augustinians-Bradford Marshall. George Foxwell, Waymond Burton and Chester Byrd. New young women in- cluded Marian Lundy, Delores Peebles. Edith Taylor, Lucille Patterson, Pearleen Moore, and Hattie Watford. Immediately, plans got under way for that most important activity of all Junior classes, the Junior-Senior Prom. Our officers for this year were: Helen Payne, President: Harriet Lee, Secretary: and Erma Ligon. Treasurer. We were represented well on the official staffs of the various campus organizations, befitting our academic maturity. Hugh Marshall again was Director of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew: Corine Wright, Vice President of Les Elites: Martha Jones, Vice President of Zeta Sigma Rho: Sarah McClamb, Secretary of the Veledas, and Helen Gill, Vice President of the Veledas. We rambled on through our junior year, leaving our marks indelibly on the honor roll as well as the memories of St. Augustine's family. Again we stood out as recipients of several of the awards. Bradford Marshall received the prize for the best record in the advanced field of the Natural Sciences: Helen Payne, for excellence in Dramatic Expression: Mayme Shuler, the Delany Scholarship: Leroy Thompson, for excellence in Biblical Literature, and Helen Gill, the Latham award. Our Senior Year! Here we were at last. We didn't know what was to be found on this last rough mile. but we determined to walk it. New members were: A, Richard Henderson, William Fax, Leonard McCarthy, Gwendolyn Cox, Beulina Roberts, Jonah Davis, Gordon Robinson and Oliver Morse. With this new. excit- ing blood we organized for the last time. Officers were: Oliver Morse, President: Helen Payne, Vice President: Eunice Tucker, Recording Secretary: Harriet Lee. Corresponding Secretary: and Richard Henderson, Treasurer. Again we injected ourselves into vital positions on the Campus. George Foxwell became Lord High Chancellor, Sarah McClamb was President of the Veledas, and Helen Payne, Pres- ident of Les Elites. George Foxwell also captained the football team and presided over the Varsity Club. Bradford Marshall and Oliver Morse successfully reorganized the Student Council. Into Greek Letter organizations went Gordon Robinson, Oliver Morse, George Foxwell, Waymond Burton, Corine Wright. Delores Peebles, and Marian Lundy. This year has passed so swiftly! On into the frightening, enveloping world we are going. Ever before us our motto stands, 'Success is not won by wishing but by hard work bravely done. 14
