 The Rainbow Senior O ass History One September morning, twelve years ago, some forty little girls and boys made their advent into this great institution of learning. How happy and eager were these little folks as they began their education! This was the beginning of our class. The first term was over and from year to year this class passed on from grade to grade. Many were gained, but some also moved away and stopped school. Thus, our number remained about the same until grammar school was completed. In September, 1926, High School was made somewhat larger when forty-three Freshmen were added to the roll. How fearful we were lest we would not come up to the standard. Hut we feel we did succeed, and we, ourselves, helped hold up the standard. We had four new members- Davie Jones Howard Brimhall, Womack (iordon and Pauline Homan. Allie Mae Kennedy, Jewel Montgomery, Johnnie Dobings. and Murray Winningham came to us from Levesque. Others to come were Thelma Coffman, Elizabeth Primin, Cyril Talley and Carson Brown. We started off with a bang and were scarcely started when two old members, Estelle Gordon and Virginia Campbell, joined us. Pauline Waldrep and Madge Jayner came the second term. In the second year we were better acquainted with high school and we started off in earnest. We had lost several of our class members. These were Thelma Coffman, Pauline Homan, Womack Gordon, and Helen Campbell. Allie Mae Kennedy and Johnnie Howland found themselves capable of entering the Junior Class. Frank Collinsworth decided to join the Navy. Helen Evans and Thelma Cashier joined us that year and helped us greatly. During the third year we were nearing our goal, and we strived on. Davie Jones, by acquiring an extra amount of knowledge, entered the Senior Class. Thelma Cashier was back in Helena. Bernice Bloxon and Agnes Houston came to us as excellent pupils from the Freshman Class. Now, at last, we have reached our goal. We have at last attained the name “Senior,” and we feel we deserve it. We had lost several members. John Harrell. Murray Winningham, Johnnie Dobings, and Paul Caubble had left during the Junior year. Juanita Blair had gone in the summer. On the other hand, we gained three. Evelyn Holt and Earl Chapman entered our class. Louise Sullivan came from the Sophomore Class. Nadine Brown. Doris Bostic and Madge Joyner had to leave on account of sickness. Thomas Weeks left early in the year to do other things. Thus, here we are. twenty-eight in number, at the end of our High School career. We are eager and ready to go out to larger and greater fields. Virginia Campbell.
