CLASS
HISTORY
By JANICE DINKINS
We now look back to see ourselves wide eyed with
amazement, as we surely must have been when we en-
tered Snowden Junior High. Some were people who had
attended Snowden before, and still others came from
other schools. During the three years we have spent here,
many more have been welcomed from other cities.
We were all excited over the school activities of our
first year. Assembly, football games, and election of Stu-
dent Government officers were especially thrilling to us.
On
a
following September morn we entered with an
in-between feeling. We were students who watched with
interest the wide-eyed freshmen and the superior seniors.
That year we watched the older students closely, for we
were soon to take their places. It was during this year that
we began to notice our boys shining on the athletic
teams, and feminine hearts began to flutter.
Time, as always, marched on and we became sen-
iors. We, of course, imagined that everything depended
on us and it went to our heads a little bit. However,
spring came and we organized our class, electing Gran-
ville Gates as President. Then everything became a rush.
We sent out an SOS for ads for our annual and a few
became doubtful as to whether they would hold up
under final exams. Some of our studiously inclined be-
gan to cram, but a few depended upon their present
knowledge.
Then it was all over, final exams, our play, and the
exercises. Some looked back to the memories of junior
high days, but still others were looking forward to the
time when they would enter senior high school.
