CLASS SONG It all comes back to us now, The days we spent at school And learned the golden rule—together. It all comes back to us now, The jovs that we found here, The friends we'll love so dear—forever. Tt wasn’t all fun and laughter ; Sometimes we had to work hard. Well dream of it all ever after, But now we've come to get our reward. It all comes back to u s now, The teachers ’long the way, And when we’re far away we'll pray That it will all come back to us someday. Lucy MITCHELL CLASS POEM OUR STAR WILL SHINE The heavens sparkle with a thousand stars, A star for every class on earth below; And in the everlasting night of time By aims and deeds each class its light doth show. Our aims are high; our deeds have yet to glow; So this our start in thee, dear school and fine, Can only have result in glow, then flame, For thoughts and acts of youth in man will shine. With thy ideals and hopes our minds are filled; To build for character and not for fame And watch the wid’ning horizon as we climb ‘Is our desire, our hope, our fondest aim. And when the great astronomer shall call The roll of brightest stars to light the sky, Our star shall head the list of heav’nly beams Because of this—we do not wish; we try!

Hi-Ways 1941 CLASS HISTORY September, 1929, saw a strange, bewildered group of small children wending their way to- ward the grammar school building. This was the class of 1941 beginning their journey on the highway of education. The first year passed pleasantly with their becoming acquainted with Baby Ray, the alphabet, and the simple funda- mentals of arithmetic under the guidance of Mrs. Joe Liles and Miss Mary Plunkett. Miss Nall and Miss Cameron, in the second year, took them deeper into these subjects. Bill Little, Marcus Garriss, and Jimmy Davis joined the class that year. Grade three saw them still studying chiefly reading and writing and arith- metic. Mrs. Baughan and Mrs. Gray helped them over this lap. Mrs. Allen and Miss Gul- ledge, their teachers in the fourth grade, intro- duced them to New Day Arithmetic and Essen- tials of Geography. Albert Hickman became a member of the class. History and health were new subjects in the fifth grade. The teachers were Mrs. Allen and Miss Kate Leak. An in- teresting feature of the activities in Mrs. Allen’s room was a live alligator, which was kept in a tub. The sixth grade introduced them to junior high school. That year they had four teachers instead of the customary one. Studies broadened out. Miss Dunlap, Mr. DeHart, Miss Cunning- ham, and Miss Stallings worked with them that year. The seventh-year teachers were Miss Cunningham, Mrs. Gulledge, Miss Boggan, and Miss Dunlap. Also the class was glad to wel- come Susie Diggs as a new member. This year was marked by two important events—first, the superintendent, Mr. F. R. Richardson, resigned; and Mr. Caddell, principal, took over his post hile Mr. Snuggs became principal; second, the ass was graduated from junior high and en- ered high school. |; The class of 1941 marched into high school vith Mr. V. W. Lewis as superintendent. High school—what strange things could be in store . for them! Latin, algebra, science—these seemed With the aid of Miss Pitts, the homeroom teacher, Miss Stansell, Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Myers, and others, the subjects were, how- ever, tackled and mastered. Meta Lewis, Eliza- beth Bennett, and Charles Roy Smith contrib- uted much to the class. The ninth year was a surprise year. The class was still the fresh- man class! This strange coincidence was brought about by the addition of a twelfth grade. This addition was due largely to the unceasing work 2 of Superintendent V. W. Lewis. Miss Se ye it and Miss Thompson guided the class this year} Wy Aiding them in mastering Latin, biology, his. uw tory, math, etc., were Miss Johnson, Miss PUSS Se 4 tin, Mr. Rheinhardt, and Miss Corey. 4 a In the sophomore year the class split. All ( a oy the girls were in Miss Daniel’s homeroom while the boys went to Miss Trotti’s. Studies con- sisted of geometry, shop work, commercial work, etc. Other teachers were Mr. and Mrs. Rhein- hardt, Mr. Snuggs, Miss Johnson, Mr. Wilder- muth, and Mr. Hicks. Miss Morris was home- rcom teacher the junior year. Two big events happened that year—a class play and the junior- senior banquet. The class play was given to raise money for the annual junior-senior ban- quet. The play, Lena Rivers, was acclaimed by many as the best ever presented by high school pupils. The social highlight of the year was the junior-senior banquet. Drawings by Charles Roy Smith and Bill Little to represent scenes from Gulliver's Travels decorated the gymna- sium. At the banquet held, Reverend Paul Hardin was guest speaker. Following the ban- quet was a dance. Teachers helping the class that year included Miss Hinson, Miss Holder, Miss Woodson, Miss Davis, and Miss Spence. The class was delighted to have Elizabeth Cole- man join them that year. The senior year for the class came at last. They had the senior privilege of using the front steps at recess, and the lower classes honored them by standing in chapel until they came in. Their homeroom teacher was Miss Holder. (Continued on Page 52) Page Hight
