CLASS OF '4 2 RECORDS ITS HISTORY
By Mary Lou Austin
Assembly pro
grams, the Hi
Neivs, between-
period chats, ■
sharing of lock
ers, lunch room
rush, socials, an-
nouncem e n t s ,
athletics, after
school meetings
and all those
other things
' that make un
the indescrib
able atmosphere
of GHS belong- ,
ed to us at last.
The class of ’42
had arrived!
The upper
classmen re
garded us as
mere children.
But what did
that matter? We
had dfetermina-
tion that would someday make GHS
proud of us.
To guide us in our work and play that
first year we elected in the fall of 1938
Herbert Barbour, president; Bob Kemp,
vice president; Barbara Edwards, secre-
tary^ Mary Lou Austin, treasurer; Hilda
Bell and Bill Stafford, cheerleaders. Miss
Mary Craig Suiter was our adviser.
When each class began to send in its
sports prospects we did not lag behind.
We were proud to have Fanny Lou
Parker as a member of the varsity bas
ketball team, and Ben Ward was easily
listed -as a varsity swimmer. We were
proud that a great number of our class
remembered that one must start at the
bottom to reach the top. With great
interest we saw Marion Byrd, D. B.
Burns, J. R. Barnes, and Billy Herring
make the Junior baseball team.
Reporting for spring football were
John Bridgers, Thomas York, James and
John Lee, Lee Adams, George Buie,
Billy Simmons, Chester Johnson, and
Bob Kemp.
And so ended our first year in GHS,
one in which athletic participation was
the outstanding feature.

Ah! Silly Sophs at last! We didn’t
Class Song
(Tune: Sweetheart of Sigma Chi)
Dear class of 1942,
Our love to you we give.
And faithful we will strive to be
All of the days we live;
Though some hardships may come
our way
And make our days seem wrong,
We will always be true; to you, ’42,
We now dedicate this song.
Lavender and White, our colors
bright.
Before us lead the way;
Our high school days are hastening on.
But memories will always stay;
To better our class is our desire.
To strive for might and right;
We say, ’42, we love you we do.
For you we will always fight.
mind the ribbing we got our second
year in high school because we knew
that it took “Silly Sophs to make digni
fied Seniors”.
Some say that this class is just an
in-between class and that it has no
special duties. Well, wouldja’ look what
our class did!
We elected Effie Ruth Maxwell, presi
dent; James Crow, vice president; Mary
E m m a Rouse,
secretary: Caro
1 y n Hollings
worth, treasur
er; Hilda Bell
and Dickie A¥ea-
therly, cheer
leaders. M i s s
Janie Ipock was
our adviser.
While stick
ing our noses
into all the ac
tivities of the
school w e de
cided on a plan
to have devo
tions once a
week with out
side speakers to
advise u s. We
found this plan
very successful
and interesting
Very soon other
classes in school
met for weekly devotions with their
respective classes.
The school began a campaign to get
subscriptions for the Hi Ne'ivs. We proud
ly led all four classes. There was a grow
ing interest iii journalism during this
year. Carolyn Hollingsworth, Effie Ruth
Maxwell, Herbert Barbour, Helen Den
ning, Hilda Bell, and Linwood Harrell
got into this fascinating subject to find
out what it was all about.
One day during class meetin^ we were
somewhat startled to discover that we
had no class colors or song. Effie Ruth
appointed Hilda Bell chairman of the
color committee with Juanita Person
and Ben Ward to help her. From the
several sugesetions given by this com
mittee we chose lavender and white to
lead the way.
Then an idea to get all the four classes
to adopt a plan for the rotation of class
colors grew uAtil it was finally present
ed to the other classes by Hilda Bell
with the help of Miss Ipock. Under this
plan the Senior Class each year would
pass its colors on to the incoming Fresh
man Class. When the plan was accept
ed, it went into effect in the following
order: The Seniors in 1939-40, yellow
and white; the Jvmiors, red and white;
