+ 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

CLASS POEM (Apologies to Robert Cameron Rogers) The hours we've spent in thee dear school, Are as a String of pearls to us; We live them over every one apart Our high-school days, our high-school days. Each dav a pearl of priceless worth To treasure all our whole lives thru; We gather them, a shining strand, And hold them close—caressingly. Oh, memories that bless and burn! Oh days that pass in ecstasy! We count each one and strive, at last, to learn To say goodbye, classmates, to say boodbye. —CORNEILLE CARAWAY. + CLASS SONG (Tune of “We’ve Come A Long Way Together” We’ve come a long way together, Since we met on our first day at school; We've mastered all kinds of lessons And we've learned how to keep every rule; And now tho’ our days here are over We never shall forget our friends sincere; Well keep our hearts linked together By the joys and the friends we knew here. Weve studied hard and we've conquered. Every lesson we've had has been learned; And we've had all kinds of pleasure The good times here have never been spurned. We leave all our love to our teachers, Who from the first days our footsteps have led, And we shall love them forever, When along our life’s pathway we tread. We're ready now to get started On the life that we each have to live; Weve learned the rules of good sportsmen And some service we each yearn to give. Don’t think that our school days are over; We'll study hard to keep our minds aglow; Weve come a long way together And we still have a long way to go. —Mary EvELYN Morris. we 1—That’s “Sister with the long brown hair” over there. 2—Ah-h-h-h!
