-Class History-
(Continued from Page Two")
second year, there came an alert
teacher of mathematics who be
came our record teacher along
with Mr. Kornegay. He was Mr.
Earl D. Lowery. During this
year some of the boys began to
feel the call to service and went
into Uncle Sam’s Army leaving
us with only forty-two class
mates.
At the beginning of the third
year we were fortunate to ob
tain our same teachers, Mr. R.
O. Kornegay and Mr. E. D.
Lowery. That was the year we
gave our grand Junior-Senior
Prom, an event long to be re
membered. Yet, there were
other gala affairs mingled with
our education.
Saddest of all the events af
fecting our high school career
was the loss of one of our record
teachers, Mr. R. O. Kornegay.
Bobby Hagood. a former stu
dent of Hillside High School,
decided that he wanted to be
graduated from a school of
worthy reputation, so he joined
the last stage of our journey.
Again in our Senior year as in
other years, we lost more stu
dents, now we have an enroll
ment of twenty-four.
To sum up the history of this
class I must say that we were
outstanding in every branch of
school life. In sports, we had Ed
ward “Jackie” Battle, Johnny
“Junebug'* Goins. Ross Farring
ton, Nelson “Red’’ Riggsby,
Benjamin “Reb” Jones, Ola Mae
Farrington, and Inez Alston.
In music-James “Scott” Pen-
dergraph, Betty “Chunk’’ Doo
ley, Nelson Riggsbee, Bernice
Johnson, Ola Mae Farrington,
and Charlie Mae Booth. In dra
matics—Inez Alston, Emma Har-
riston. Walter Jackson, Ross
Farrington, Ernestine King and
Ola Mae Farrington, secretary j
of club. I
Inez Alston became president {
of the Student Council and Ola 1
