THE CARDINAL CLASS HISTORY •A VOYAGE IN EDUCATION” It was a bright, sunny day, to be sure. It was the seventh day of September, in the year of 1926, when twenty-nine gay, frolicksome youngsters assembled on the bank of the School Campus. They gazed with wistful eyes at the great ship which was going to take them on a four years cruise of Education. The name of this good ship was “W. C. H. S.” We had often fancied ourselves walking along its stately deck, and how happy we were to think that at last our dreams were to come true. Sharply at 8:45 o’clock, our leader, Joe Major, shouted, “All aboard!” and we entered the assembly, to be greeted by our captain, Mr. Orr. At first the days seemed long and toilsome. We thought we should never become accustomed to our duties; but after the first month, the time flew too fast. Our journey was made safely and without many severe storms, but we ran into several hurricanes which our sh’pmates called Exams”. Finally we sailed into the harbor of Vacation. On September 6, 1927, we resumed our journey, with only eighteen classmates. On October 8, Madge Littrell appeared on the deck of our ship. Cecil Andes became our leader and, under her guidance, we entertained the Freshmen at a party held in the ball room gym. We took part in the social activities, such as Glee Club, Basketball, Societies, and the Cardinal. The following year, we set out for the port of the Junior Class. Early on September 5, 1928, we reached our destination, leaving behind us six of our fellow passengers. A new man, Marion Cheffer, had become a member of our crew, and James Wharton was our leader. We moved along over the smooth waters of the Class Rooms, until we again entered the harbor of Vacation. On September 4, 1929, we set sail for our last port, the Senior Class. Our number had decreased to eleven, but the remaining people were hard workers and good fighters, and Madge Littrell was chosen as the leader. At last our journey is ended, but we shall never forget the short, happy days we have spent aboard the “W. C. H. S.”, while we watched her gay-colored flag of cardinal and gold, floating out on the cool breezes. Now, after a few months of vacation, we shall soon set sail on another voyage, which shall determine our usefulness in the future, to our fellow-men. Madge Littrell.
