Memories < f school days come
stealing;
Memories so dear to our hearts,
Dreams of dear school days re

Memories of school’s golden parts.
These days will live on forever;
On in our mem-o-ry.
And we shall love and remember
These days at Livingston High.

Livingston, Livingston;
School of all Our dreams,
Thru a dream of Livingston
We’ll be drifting back to thee.
Maytime days — Childhood days,
Among our friends so dear;
We leave you alone,

In our dream of dear Livingston.

Welcome Speech
On Class Day
B.y Georgia Armistead
Faculty, students, friends, the
Class of 1940 greets you all and
welcomes you this morning to the
exercises of its own great day.
It is our year, our day. It is the
last time we can sit in the some
times not so popular chapel as
undergraduates. Within a few
days we will have reached that
goal toward which we have been
striving for the last four years.
Then we will take our place as
Alumni. Yes, this is our day.
This is the first time we have:
had the privilege of standing here
in our Superintendents place,
with his prerogative of saying
anything that occurs to us, with
the pleasant consciousness that
Mr. Giles will not reprove this
same Senior Class for unbecoming
levity in Chapel. It is hard to x'eal
ize.
The Historian must go back
and the prophet must project her
self into the future, but the real
lation of my time is harder: that
this can be today, the day for
which we have longed nd plan
ned.
Sometimes I almost believe that
it is r.n illusion. No, you look real
enough.
I realize there have been other
classes which have come and
gone before our reign, and there
will be still others to succeed us;
but the Class of 1940 is different.
“Just a little different.” Perhaps
it is because we love our class
so, but there is certainly this “lit
tie something’ that makes her
different, her works and her ways,
There was nothing this morning
fateful that announced day. The the dawn crept of a j
sun up,i
with its same steady beams. The;
faculty sat there quite calm and
unpeturbed. Nothing in their,
countenance betrays that this is;
tbe exit time of their dear
only class.
However, notwithstanding the
unmoved environment, this is the
day—the Class of ’40’s last day of
high school life. A swelling pride
and a sinking heart tells me so.
The time is now at hand when
it is necessary for us, as a
to part, but we can defy those
circumstances to arise, which can
weaken these ties of friendship
so dearly formed by us during our
.high school days.
We go forth as members of a
large family to meet again when
occasion offers, always ready to
help one another, and never for
getting to honor our Alma Mater.
Let today be the brightest and
happiest of high school days and
although we have only a few
days , more together, . ,, we will .... be of .
good cheer and enjoy these last
few days while we still have them
During the exercises of today,
I bid you listen to our chosen
representatives as they project be
fore us the various pictures of our
school life, as they prophesy into
the far distant future. 1 o suen
the class of ’40 bid you welcome.

History, Which Has Way of
Repeating Itself, of Class
By Pie Almand
It has often been remarked that
history has a peculiar way of re
peating itself, and so to a certain
extent the history of this class is
much like the history of the
classes gone on before and of
those which will follow.
According to the findings of
students of educational statistics,
0 nly a comparatively small per
C ent of those who have entered
anc j finished high school go on
anc j prepare for the learned pro
fessions and for callings demand
ing extensive and specialized
training.
It is obvious , that the coming
together of any Freshman class
represents selected and quality
material. This is true even in the
few cases where the individuals
are coming against their own will
and to please someone else,
Early in our High School life,
a dass organization was formed
and the following officers were
selected by the class:
Sara Moss, President; Doris
Hicks, Vice-President; Letitia Hol
lingsworth, Secretary and Treas
urer.
As Sophomores, Doris Hicks,
SSSdmL Sara^oss^Seere’
tary; Johnie Hooper, treasurer,

Moss, President; Johnie Hooper,

worth, Secretary and Treasurer.
1 his year, the Class of’40 has as
us officers: Letitia Hollingsworth.!
President; Clyde Weldon, Vice-!
President; Sara Moss, Secretary
and Treasurer.
Socially our activities have been
a ;j fhat could be expected of is I
and perhaps all that it was wisej in-1
for us to undertake without
fringing upon thf more serious 1
business of classroom, study hall,:
etc. Among the outstanding social!
affairs to which we will all look
back with happy memories are:

Class Poem
Seems the years have gone a
straying.
Time to us has gone like playing, j
Prancing! Shifting! Now we’re
nearing
Moments to ourselves endearing.
Though bordered round in thoughts
of sorrow,
’Cause we must leave this place
tomorrow!
You’ll go your way, I’ll go my way
Out on life’s enticing highway;
There’s a byway, yonder mount
ajns,
We will drink from life’s new
fountains.
| Yes, we’ll seek from Life’s great
College
Finer bits of life and knowledge.
How we feel for grateful creatures,
Those so near us, our dear teach
ers,
They have' charted us alt through
it;
Once we doubted they could do
it,
But kindhearted Mister Giles
smiles.
He took time out to attend us,
If we faltered he would mend us;,
And assisted by Mrs. New,
We all knew just what to do.
They would stand for no eonfess
ing
That we didn’t have a lesson!
How we’ll miss Miss Julia Walk

Pretty, sweet and quite a talker;:
Two long years with us she tar- 1

Now we think she's getting mar- >
ried.
May life's better things attend
her,
And best wishes e’er befriend I
her!
For Miss Thompson we are grate
ful,
She worked hard with us and
faithful;
Not a moment’s time denied us;
Through it all she stood close b.y
us.
Though We may have caused her
sorrow;
We wish her better luck tomor

After all, this life : s curious
Sometimes pretty, often furious

Bringing days like these for part- I

But no matter what the weather
Memory holds us fast together!
Now goodbye Mr. Giles, Mrs.!

Miss Walker and Miss Thompson
too;
Goodbye but not farewell;
We plan to live on, work on, play
on,
And have many other things to
tell.

Parting Address
On Classe Day
By Mary Lee Chafin
Mr. Giles, teachers, fellow stu
! dents. Another year of' our school
life is finished, and many of us
have come to Chapel today for
the last time. But whether we
■ go on or stay, we shall find abun
dant cause to remember our school
with gratitude. Day after day we
have assembled here, and the as
sedations ’hat cluster around this
place is more vivid in our minds
today that ever before. They will
go with us through life and form
an important part in the individ
ua l experience of each of us.
The events of this day and the
past school days are to be remem
bered and recalled with pleasure,
perhaps oride, when we have
passed far down into the vale of
years. As we hear the aged of to
day rehearse the scenes of their
youth, so shall we revive the mem
ories of our school when the bat
tle of life has been fought, and
we sit down to repose after the
burden and heat of the day are
'passed. We can not take leave of
these familiar walls and point
with the pleasant associations
which have bound us together
here, without acknowledging the
debt of gratitude we owe to our
school and to our teachers for their
fostering. We know that without
the moral training that we have
received here in this school we
could achieve neither a moral nor
a business success.
Let us then remember our
school with affection and grati
tude. Ufa ..hall even fee) a noble
pride in those who have co wise
ly and generously placed the
means of education within the
reach of all. To the school officers
of the present year, and to our
teachers, we return our sincere
