Senior of ’41 will always remember
that we gave them a REAL Junior-Senior
reception, using a timely nautical theme.
A new plan for elections was adopted
in the spring of this year, to elect both
SA and class officers. Previously class
officers had been elected in the fall. Bob
Kemp was elected SA president and
Tom Shaver, SA treasurer.
Our Senior Class officers elected in
May were; Bob Powell, president: Her
bert Barbour, vice president; Lizzie Mae
Adams, secretary; Billy Charlton, treas
urer; Margaret J. Thornton and Frank
Broadhurst, cheerleaders.
As another year came to its close, we
realized that our Junior life was over and
that we were really faced with problems
that came to every Senior Class, but we
would tackle them when September
came.
Chapter Four
Due to the election of- our class officers
in the Spring of ’41 we began work right
away when school opened. We knew
we had much work to do if we accepted
the role of the leaders of GHS. We re
solved to make this the best year yet.
A Senior Council made up of representa
tives from each senior room together
with the class officers and our adviser,
Miss Ida Gordner, began regular meet
ings and set the first Wednesday in each
calendar month for the regular Senior
Class meeting.
Swelling the ranks of the Class of
’42 were seventeen twelfth graders wiio
had asked for another year in GHS.
They made fine additions to the class,
furnishing the treasurer, Billy Charlton,
as well as several committee chairmen
and a number of outstanding athletes.
Besides Billy, the group included Clif
ton Daniel, Albert Handley, Bobby Hey
ward, David Hinson, Marian Hinkle, Eu
nice Highsmith, John Holmes, Clyde
King, Edwin Lee, Graves Lewis, A. J.
Oliver, Bud Pate, Tom Shaver, Gray
Whitford, Carl Wilson, and Billy Wynn.
At the first Class Council it was de
cided to have monthly instead of v/eek-
ly devotional meetings. So one of the
first committees to get busy was the
inspirational committee headed by
Hazel Brady. The programs planned
and carried out by this committee proved
worthwhile.
The good ole Hi News, that we have
stored away to bring out again some
rainy day to read and be reminded of
pleasant things, had a swell staff, many
of its members from our class. Carolyn
Hollingsworth, and Effie Ruth Maxwell
were co-editors; the make-up editor,
Helen Denning; editorial editors. Betsy
Cade, Ruth Minton; feature editors Lois
Smith and Dot Perkins; sports editor,
Herbert Barbour; sports writers, Lin-
wood Harrell, David Hinson; picture edi
tor, Bob Powell; business manager Alice
Graham; co-circulation managers, Bar
bara Edwards and Dickie Weatherly.
In November the Hi News received a
First-place Award among Class C News
papers at the seventeenth annual South
ern Inter-Scholastic Press Convention at
Washington and Lee University in Lex
ington, Virginia. Students representing
the Hi News at this convention were
Effie Ruth Maxwell, Carolyn Hollings
worth, Alice Graham, Helen Denning,
and Barbara Edwards. Mrs. N. A Ed
wards, Barbara’s mother, took the group
to Lexington.
The Senior Class, being well repre
sented in the SA Council, claimed many
standing committee chairmen and com
mittee members. Effie Ruth Maxwell
was chairman of the reception commit
tee. Seniors serving with her-were. Bob
Powell, Carolyn Hollingsworth, Bud
Pate, and Dorothy Grice. Other com
mittee chairmen were: Eleanor Jones,
