Class Histroy
of Tenth and
Eleventh Grades
By Sara Mask and Marie Piper
On the first Monday in Septem
her, 1938. we rushed to school to
get the best desks in the junior
class room. We found Miss Lucy
was going to take the burden of
being our home room teacher
again. We worked hard that year
as juniors usually do, for money
to give the lucky seniors a ban
quet. Class officers were: Presi
dent, Sara Mask; Vice President,
Evelyn Patrick; Secretary and
Treasurer, Goodwin Tuck
We had a new department op
ened for our benefit—home eco
nomics. We were lucky in getting
two new teachers, Miss Nan Jo
Lewis, home economics, and Mr.
Bobbie Brooks, science.
And then—1939-’40 and we’re
the lucky and dignified seniors.
Mr. Brogdon doesn’t think we’re
very dignified though. We missed
two of our pupils very much this
year—Nicky Bolton and Wallace
Moore.
Another new department, a
commercial system with
typewriters and books, was estab
lished.
Miss Rheborg left us this
and Miss Clarice Whitener
into our midst as French teacher
and instructor in the new
mercial branch.
Prof. Brogdon has given us loy
al assistance in everything that
we have done. He was a great
help and inspiration to every
member of the senior class.
Our class officers also stuck by
us helping us to make money and
