Although we did not make the headlines of our school papers, we were often represented in the small print. We also contributed our full share to school activities. As Sophomores, we buckled down to busi- ness right away. Our Sophomore class offi- cers, who led us triumphantly through that year were Wilbur Tuggle, President: Harold Iohnson, Vice-President: and Helen Roberts, Secretary. ln the latter part of that year, when Wendell Phillips claimed another Clean Up were very active in helping to bring that about At the same time however we were not neg lecting our studies for now many of the mem bers of our class were winning honors showing their studious traits that added luster to the class as a whole Our Iunior year was another stepping stone on which landed the malority of our members Some of us were st1ll holding our standards high in scholarship which gave us recognition throughout the school as well as ln Honor Society It was during this year that the well known William King a member of the Sight Saving Class won the first prize in the nation wide essay contest on What is a True Ameri can This year also marked by the swell times we had under the leadership of Conrad Cockran our lunior class President Ernestine Woody our Vice President Dorothy Sims Sec retary and Hortense Harvy Treasurer Our progress was now showing that our efforts were not wasted for we finished our Iunior year with an enviable record As the title of Senior was earned by the majority of us it had that tendency which forced us to carry our heads slightly higher for we knew that it wouldnt be long now This year of all years was packed to its utmost with clubs studies and numerous activities which the seniors took pride in being a part ot. The honor students in our class who had won pins since their year are still members of that society were: Evelyn Davis, Luella Wheat, Ella Mae Kelly, Cyrillia Solomon, Amanda Iones, Iacqueline Bell, Hattie Currie, Harold West, Ernestine Woody, Olivia Harris. Marion Marcelle, Marian Freeman, Herman Cotton, Lessie Mae Begley and Margaret Mackev. Other prominent members of our class were Virginia Martin: who is now the editor of our school newspaper.
