CLASS HISTORY (CONTINUED] At last we walked up the steps of St. Matthews High just as seared as we were when we entered the first grade. We didn't stay that way for long for we soon became known as “the meanest class in school” and we still live up to that name. We shall never forget our health lessons which were really lessons in fishing from Mr. Hite. This year we added a whole new clan of students: Lois Bozard, Jack Bozard, Laurie Hair, Edward Rucker, Harry Hammond and Betty Francis. Margaret Rowell left us this year. By the time we reached the ninth grade Sarah Bates and Allan Bruner had joined our class which made it complete. We shall always remember tbe patience Miss Pendarvis had with us as be- ginners in Latin. Next came the tenth grade. Nathan, Clyde, Lawrence. Nolten, Bobby, Henry, and Reeves turned out to be champions in all sports. Shaking the floor was our hobby and the radiator had to take the penalty. Then we were Juniors and had many problems but the worst of them was money for a Junior- senior Banquet. Somehow the money was raised and one of the best Junior-Seniors SMHS ever had was given, even though all the girls had sore fingers from making tulips for the tulip gardens, and the improvised pool leaked and we had to mop most of the gym before Mr. Sadler and Mr. Garris discovered the water on the floor. The boys were practically worn out what with all the carpenter work and hanging crepe paper. The Junior Play, Jane Eyre, was a great success with a packed aud- ience of course, a drawing card in addition to the play was our usual Boys’ Chorus. Now as dignified seniors, the typing room holds many memories. One of the most hilarious of these was the day Lois and Sarah sat on the table and it fell on the floor along w ith two typewriters. It’s a wonder there are any typewriters because Reeves, Lawrence, and Allan almost tore them up every day (not with speed either I. The French class was small but if you were to walk in. you would always find Ben. Carolyn, and Reeves struggling over a translation or trying to get Grace to do it for them. We couldn’t forget the shorthand class and how we dreaded dictation, and the awful part about it is that’s almost the only thing Mrs. Sadler would give us. Lawrence and Clyde made headlines when they played in the Shrine Bowl Game in Charlotte end along with Nolten and Nathan in the Horse Bowl at Camden. Now our school days are almost over but we will always cherish the many memories we have of our ole SMHS and the many friends we have made during our years of learning. We regret to leave you SMHS and each of us will hold dear to our hearts the many wonderful memories we have of you. CAROLYN ClLCLASlRE H istorian
