ooo Oooo CLASS HISTORY On July 18, 1940, sixty-two boys and girls registered for a high school course at Union. To some of these students, Union High School was entirely new, while to the rest of us the building and the teachers were familiar because we had attended grade school here. The first few days we frightened freshmen wandered about very confused, frequently asking “Where do we go now?” By the close of summer school, however, we had become accustomed to high school life. Thus b egan our four years of high school, which are about to reach a climax. In our Freshman year some of us joined the 4-H Club. Others chose basketball as an activity. We were honored to have one member, Catherine Roof, chosen as second winner in the county 4-H Health Contest. Catherine was given a trip to 4-H Short Course at Raleigh, N. C. There were thirty-nine members of our Sophomore Class. Some of our group became members of the basketball teams. Twelve of the girls were chosen to be waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. At commencement the following medals were awarded to members of our class: Mathem atics, Fred Houser; Agriculture, L. B. Helms; Science, Gene Goins; and History, Margaret Lantz. We began our Junior year with an enrollment of forty but by the end of the school term, our number was only thirty-two. Six of our Class joined the Beta Club during that year. Al Stone represented our school in an Oratorical contest. Those of our class receiving medals at commencement were: History, Al Stone; French, Margaret Lantz. Along with our gains was a great loss. One of our class- mates, Janet Sain, died February 6, 1943. Janet was one of the most popular mem- bers of the class and was held in high esteem by all who knew her. The size of our class has decreased until there were only twenty of us who could claim the title of “Union’s Seniors”. The Seniors deserve credit for their cooperation in raising $15.20 for the Junior Red Cross Drive and $13.35 for the War Emergency Relief Fund. Fred Houser was selected from this school to attend a week of Boy’s State at Chapel Hill. Two seniors became Beta Club members, making a total of eight from this class. All the senior basketball players play on the teams. Twelve have parts in the Senior Play. Former members of this class who are now in service are Monroe Seagle, Marines; Vernon Smyth, Navy; Paul Leatherman, Navy; and Carmie Johnson, Navy. Our class officers for the past four years are as follows: FRESHMAN—President, Erma Deen Heafner; Vice-President, Geraldean Lewellyn; Secretary, Margaret Lantz; Treasurer, Bill Wood. SOPHOMORE—President, Margaret Lantz; Vice-President, Vernon Smyth; Secretary, Janet Sain; Treasurer, Virginia Sain.
