Officers for "Purple and Gold" and Annual Elected, Oct. 17, 1924

Election Staff Officers Big Feature of Meeting. . . Officers for “Purple and Gold” and Annual Elected; Prospects for Year Are Good

The election of the officers for the Purple and Gold and the Annual was the chief item in the business discussed at the Senior class meeting Friday, October 10 at 6 o’clock, in the cafeteria. This meeting was the second of the year and was in the form of a supper. Several other points discussed were, first, the change of time of the class meeting. Hereafter a business meeting will be held every other month after school, and some form of entertainment every other month at night.

The matter of class stationery was brought up and referred to a committee composed of Katherine Fleming, chairman; Lenora Scott and Franklin Gaffney. The committee will report to the class as soon as possible.

The election of the staff officers was of most interest, and the results were as follows:

For the “Purple and Gold”:

Laura Mabel Haywood—Editor-in-Chief

Mary Alice Harding—Business Manager

Katherine Fleming—Exchange Editor

Frank Terrell—Art Editor

Alton Askew—Joke Editor

For the Annual:

Dallas Sherman—Editor-in-Chief

Eugenic Riddick—Associate Editor

Franklin Gaffney—Business Manager

Glenn Lassiter—Associate Business Manager

Susanne Tucker—Art Editor

Miss Holton will have charge of the magazine this year, and it is hoped that the “Purple and Gold” will have as successful a year this year as it had last year.

Mr. Wessinger spoke very encouragingly about the prospects for a real annual this year.
