AS TIME ROLLS BY Since the world has been in existence, there has been a form of literature known as history. Some history is more important than others, but you will agree that no material affords a better subject for history than the Class of 752. In the early days of September of the year 1940 a group of excited boys and girls marched into the Grammar School building. We were welcomed by our first-grade teacher, Miss Grace Hill, who assisted us in the begin- ning of our education. For seven years we marched eagerly to our classes with long hours filled with work as well as play. “As time changes everything,” our school system was changed. A Junior High was set up in the fall of 1947. This enabled us to become accustomed to high school life. This year we entered the eighth grade without a graduation, which we had all looked forward to. ; When we became Freshmen we still had not grown out of our “giggling” habits. This year we made new friends and such nicknames as Mickey, Hoogie, Mumbles, Jasbo, Peg, Boyd, Neal, Jeannie, and Susie were heard on the campus. Some of the events of the Junior year were the planning of the Junior and Senior Banquet and selecting our class rings. We have always been well represented in athletics, dramatics, music, and other activities of the school. There are twelve who have been with us the entire twelve years. They are: Myrna Boyd, Lois Harden, Nell Hearn, Beulah Patton, Mary Ruth Snyder, Peggy Wright, Margaret Neal, Jack Wood, Jack Malone, Glen Smith, Joe Mack Reeves, and I. Our Senior year has been filled with many outstanding events such as: receiving our class rings, publishing “The Purple Tiger,” Junior-Senior Banquet, selecting our graduation announcements, choosing the yellow carnation as our class flower and purple and gold for our colors, and our motto: “Never acknowledge a failure until you have made your last attempt, And never make your last attempt until you have succeeded.” We have reached our goal—“Graduation,” and to our sponsors, to our principal, Mr. T. W. Bruce, and to the entire faculty go our appreciation for your. untiring guidance during our high school days. Phyllis Patton Historian
