Clan Nia tory Once upon a time there was a young prince who chanced to fall in love with a beautiful young maiden, but when he inquired as to her name and family and the possibilities of an introduc- tion, he found that she was the only daughter of King Success who, although a doting father, had determined that his Princess should have no less than the finest that young manhood could offer for her husband. He had compiled a series of rigid tests to determine who was most deserving of his daugh- ter's hand, and it was his decree that the contender be tested in his own environment. So, the Prince resumed his studies as a Freshman in Saint Pauls High School with J. Brown Evans, Jr. as his faculty sponsor. He was indeed sorry when his dear friend and chosen leader, Thomasine Stroud, moved to another town, but he was glad that Jane Smith, a capable young friend, consented to fill Thoma- sine's place. Mrs. George Deans, who taught civics, suggested to the Prince that the formation of a citi- zenship club would be helpful in learning to become good citizens, so, he set about organizing the club. The many things that he learned from the programs and other activities of the club proved invaluable to him. The Prince knew that in order to be well-rounded he must receive physical as well as men- tal training, therefore, he welcomed the course in Health and Physical Education, and he re- joiced exceedingly when Sarah McCormick, Jeanne Chatley, Hilda Crenshaw, Dorothy Hollings- worth, Charles McGoogan, Jack Pittman, Curtis Jernigan, and Howard Monroe were accepted as members of the high school basketball team. There were many times during the year when the Prince wondered if it were possible to endure the tests, especially the crucial test of time, but he knew that he must fight to the finish for he would never be happy without the Princess, and with a rekindled spark of determination and courage he braced himself for the next bout. The next year found him a Sophomore with Miss Mattie Lee Rogers as faculty sponsor, and that was the slow year. It seemed then more than ever that the finale would never come. The Prince agreed to preside at the confetti booth of the PTA-sponsored Hallowe'en Carni- val. The work so-occasioned provided a diversion for several days in October. Then, came the important step of his Sophomore year if not of his whole high school career. Under his influential guidance a petition was drawn up and duly signed which stated both the de- sire and the reasons for desiring a co-operative student government in the school. This was the first concrete step in the formation of the Saint Pauls High School Co-operative Govern- ment Association which is in a flourishing state now. Since the Prince realized the benefits gained by out-door recreation, he entertained at a picnic near White Lake during the last week of the school term. For the Prince and his com- panions, this provided just the right relaxation after a rather long but busy year. A second year had passed and it seemed to the Prince that the days stretched endlessly on- ward. But knowing that to give up would be cowardly, he chose again to face the odds and con- tinue the pursuit of his only hope of happiness, and with the fulfillment of his goal still in the distance, he launched into the third year. With Phillip Meekins as his faculty sponsor the Junior year, the wheel of activities began rolling with increasing momentum, and he determined to waste no opportunity offered him. It was well that he did, for opportunities, tests, and trials began coming from every direction. The Prince's first role was that of a salesman. The object of this project was to add to his worldly treasure and by fervent effort he managed to net a sizeable income. Later, the Prince expressed his originality in the form of Dead End , his version of the House of Horrors at the Hallowe'en Carnival: and he rejoiced to see his classmate, Jeanne Chatley, crowned Miss St. Pauls Hi the same night. As he looks back over his Junior year, uppermost in his memory surges the joy of pur- chasing a class ring, the exultation of winning the intramural tournament, and fun at the Valen- tine talent show. Then came one of the major tests-that of dramatic aptitude. High Pressure Homer was selected, and after eight weeks of drudging practice, the production was staged before a large audience. On May 11 the Prince made his debut into society. He assumed the duties of host at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, a lovely affair-Hawaiian in theme. He entered his Senior year with Mrs. D. A. Roebuck, who had taught his English classes the past three years, and instead of the annual Hallowe'en Carnival he was persuaded to serve a chicken supper followed by a varied program. Margaret McDuffie was selected Miss St. Pauls Hi the same night. Now, after three and a half years of exacting tests, the Prince has proven himself worthy. Soon his journey through the halls of Saint Pauls High School will end. Soon, yes very soon, our heroic Prince, the Class of 1951, will make his final entrance to claim the beautiful Princess, Graduation, as his own. l2
