A ways and means committee composed of Toni Lupton, chairman, Horald Montague, Chase Johnson, Ike Manly, and Miss Downing, ad viser, was appointed by the president. The class voted to sponsor the motion picture, “It’s Love I’m After,” and though they did not become wealthy, they were very proud of the $10.60 that was cleared. A class so widely known and so continu ously in the lead could not maintain its ex istence much longer without choosing a class motto, flower, color and song. “No prize without a struggle” was the representative motto, chosen from a group submitted by the motto committee: Sara Jeffreys, chair man, Teeny Mansour, Bill Kemp, Ray Rouse, and Miss Hamer, adviser. The flower and color committee made up of Sarah Dees, chairman, Sibyl Blalock, Fai son Thomson, Herman Perkins, and Mrs. Cox, adviser, helped the class to pick purple and gold as colors and the iris as a flower. These were changed in the junior year to the colors maroon and white with the lily of the valley as the flower. Jackie Campen, chairman, Shirley Pears all, Ed Smith, Carrie Helen Best, and Miss Tomlinson, adviser, composed the song com mittee. “Hail Class of Forty” to the tune of “Anchors Away” was chosen by the class as their spirited anthem. When the Yuletide season rolled around it was the up-and-coming Sophomore Claiss that volunteered to present the annual Christ mas program. A committee of Martha Best, chairman, Rena Graham, Bill Cobb, Edna Pelt, and Miss Ezzell, adviser, was appointed. Miss Ezzell directed quite successfully a pa geant, “The Dramatization of the Birth of Christ.” Characters for the production were: Ike Manly, Joseph; Virginia Lee, Mary; Son ny Boney, Bill Nufer, and Harold Montague, wise men; Robert Denmark, Lamuel Sum merlin, Herman Perkins, Noah Bass, and Cliff Spruill, shepherds; and Martha Best, Harriet Kelly, Jennette Garrison, Sara Jef freys, Edna Pelt, Teeny Mansour, Mildred Lee, and Helen Boyette, angels. Other soph omores on the program were Kala Rosen thal, Catherine Smith, Ann Daniels, Carolyn Evans, Edna Grace Fulghum, Ruth Herring, Chase Johnson, Cora Jane McMillan, Helen Kannan, Toni Lupton, and Grace Alexan der. Mr. L. T. New’s band and glee club gave several Christmas numbers, and Bill Cobb read the script while the pageant was taking place. The political interest of the group was growing and the class now had members on five of the SA standing committees. These were: Cafeteria, Rena Graham; Social, Mil dred Lee; Bulletin Board, Sarah Dees; Home room Organization, Ike Manly; and Hand book, Bill Nufer and Toni Lupton. The fol lowing represented the class at Council in the fall: Ike Manly, Bill Nufer, Jimmie Woo- ters, Ray Rouse, Cora Jane McMillan, and Toni Lupton. Those who served in the spring were: Cora Jane McMillan, Toni Lupton, Bill Nufer, Bill Kemp and George Simpson. The election of class officers in the fall was supervised by the nominating committee: H. A. M.—s. c. j. Virginia Lee, chairman, Ike Manly, and Sonny Boney; the registrars, Ray Rouse, chairman, and Bill Nufer, and the election judge, Victor Hess.
