THE 1938 TAR-BO-RAH IT HAS HAPPENED HERE First Edition 1938 FOREWORD The companionship of books — what greater gift have we received from our high school eciucation? Books are true friends giving us pleasure, information, and ideals. Therefore, it is in the form of a book that we are presenting here the history of the Class of 1938. To Sinclair Lewis ' s much publicized book It Can ' t Happen Here, we are indebted for the suggestion of our title It Has Happened Here. INTRODUCTION In 1927 a group of six year olds — some timid and nervous, others boister- ous and bold — assembled for the first time under the roof of a school building. From these early school days of A, B, C ' s and 1, 2, 3 ' s, they passed through the maze of multiplication tables, spelling matches, health club charts — all forms of readin ' , writin ' and ' rithmetic until in 1934, they finally became high school freshmen. CHAPTER I — High School Freshmen September 17, 1934 was a green letter day (red letter day to them, but green to those who knew them) for a fresher, greener group had never before entered the portals of the eighth grade. To begin with they thought that since their daily program dropped from nine to four subjects, they would have plenty of time on their hands for play. Consequently, demerits were a common occur- rence in the first six weeks. The group numbered one hundred ten. Without doubt, Mr. Biggers, Mr. Marriott, and Miss Foley were kept busy. This was the first year that the class was represented at commencement. Therefore, Don Nicholson and Anna Winslow felt quite honored to be chosen by the Seniors as Marshals from the Freshman Class. CHAPTER II — High School Sophomores As Sophomores, the Class of 1938 calmed down somewhat Pupils usually try out new teachers, but from the very first minute Miss Octavia Jeter, the home room adviser, walked into the room, those pupils knew that she meant business. As instructor in Ancient History she demanded neat notebooks written in ink on unlined paper, and those she received without question. Miss Sylvia Levy was in charge of one section and they must have worried her terribly, for she left the profession of teaching for that of matrimony. Sophomore Marshals chosen by Seniors this year were Mary Vanicc Laugh- lin and Toby Webb. A high spot in the history of this year was the choosing of sophomore wait- ers and waitresses for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Dressed in costiimes of the Old South. Don Nicholson, Anna Winslow, Clarence Lee Ruffin, Mary Laughlin, Robert Sumerlin, Virginia Parker, Herman Jenkins, Pat Savage, Claude Hart, Carolyn Perritt, Lyn Williamson, and Helen Hall served the guests of the Misses and Massas of the great house in true Southern Style. CHAPTER III— High School Juniors As Juniors, the whole class assembled in one group under the leadership of Miss Jeter. The class will never forget their presentation of a class play, At Page Thirteen
