+ HI-WAYS + 1940 + ; CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1928, we, as a group of rather shy youngsters, began our journey on the good “‘Hi-Way of Knowledge.”” Accompanied by our devoted parents, friends, and guardians, we were taken to school and placed in charge of Mrs. Liles and Miss Plunkett, who led us with much patience over the first lap of our long, difficult journey. Miss Nall and Miss Webb carried us safely through the second year. As time rolled on, the road became rough and more difficult to travel. We were led over the third road by Mrs. Gray and Miss Cameron. Miss Gulledge and Mrs. Bennett led us through the fourth lap. After completing these four years we were very happy, indeed, because we were transferred from the grammar building to the high-school building. Every year the road seemed to broaden, but with a grim determination to broaden our knowledge also, we continued traveling. This year our teachers were Mrs. Allen and Miss Kate Leak. During our sixth lao we had advanced so far in the school of learning that we had five teachers. They were Miss Stallings, Miss Hanff, Miss Pinkston, Miss Cunningham, and Mr. DeHart. This was our first year in junior high schoo], We continued our junior high career wit h Mrs. Kanaga, Mrs. Dockery, Miss Cunningham, Miss Dunlap, and Mr. DeHart as cur leaders. Now we were a proud group of boys and girls, for we received our “passports” to the Big Hi-Way, high school, on the memorable junior high commencement day in 1935. We entered the Big Hi-Way very eager and yet rather green. The road seemed terrifying to all of the freshmen. Most of the new subiects seemed hard, but our teachers, Miss Redwine, Miss Stansell, Miss Pitts, and Mr. Snuggs led us a long and helpful way. We continued our journey but under new leaders, Miss Boles, Mrs. Meyers, Miss Abbit, and Mr. Thomas. During this lap our superintendent, Mr. F. R. Richardson, resigned his post, which was taken over for the remainder of the year by Mr. Caddell. Mr. Snuggs then became principal, the responsible position of which he still holds. Continuing our eventful journey, we found the third year in high school a very pleasant one. We were very fortunate to have Mr. V. W. Lewis as our new super- intendent, the position of great service which he still holds. Miss Daniels, Mr. Reinhardt, Miss Austin, Miss Thompson, and Mr. Wildermuth led us over this lap. Indeed we felt our importance when we became juniors. During this year two important events took place. We presented the play “Home Ties,’ under the direction of Miss Thompson. Then we spent all our efforts in preparation for the junior-senior banquet, which turned out very successful. We were directed through this lap by Miss Davis, Miss Johnson, Miss Trotti, Mrs. Reinhardt, Miss Hinson, Mr. Hicks, and Mr. Wildermuth. With all the seniors combined into one class, we are all very happy to have Miss Eva Holder as our devoted home-room teacher. Mr. Howell, Mr. Wildermuth, Mrs. Morris, Miss Spence, Mr. Snuggs, and Miss Morris are also very helpful to us. Now, facing graduation, we see not the end of our journey, but the beginning. We, the senior class of 1940, will forever cherish the happy and successful days we have spent in the Wadesboro School. —FRANCES Gray, Historian. Page Ten
