Graduating Class. . . Albemarle High School Has Six Boys and Eight Girls in Senior Class

Friends and relatives of the members of the senior class have received invitations reading as follows:

“The class of 1922 of the Albemarle High School announce their commencement exercises Tuesday evening, May 30.

“Class roll: George Parker Harris, president; Evelyn Fitzgerald Hall, vice-president; Henry Lawrence Snuggs, secretary; Mary Ermine Anderson, Martin Augustus Boger, Ardis Casper, Annie Lee Drye, Joseph Winfred Gaddy, Mary Glovina McLauchlin, Ruth Herrin Pickler, Mary Irene Skidmore, Paul William Smith, Ethel Snuggs, Carl Lee Winecoff.

“Class motto: ‘Vincet qui patitur.’ Class flower, red rose. Class colors, red and white”

As may be seen, there are six boys and eight girls in this class. This percentage of boys is greater than is usually found in the high schools of this state and is the second time in the history of this school that the number of boys in the senior class has in any way compared with the number of the fairer sex. This is a sure sign that the people of this town and county ae beginning to realize the importance of an education.

From The Midget, by the students of Albemarle High School, May, 1922. The class motto, Vincet qui patitur, means “He conquers who endures.”
