Student» «orefully t on bulletin boordt on the flrtt doy ot they scorch for the new hontoroom number ond locotion. Hi!” Hello. Wait’ll I tell you . . was heard everywhere in the conversation of the juniors and seniors during the first days of school. Sophomores gave themselves away by asking questions, such as Where am I? and How do I get to room 032?” We, as seniors, vowed to make the most of this year since we realized Ihis was the beginning of the end of high school. A few short days and our faithful vows had lost their original meaning. This was the year of the sarcastic retort, and so our minds began to concen- trate on subjects of importance and aca- demic merit. Actually, our thoughts turned to dances and parties and vacation time.

Then the gay hustle and bustle be- gan to settle as we plunged into final exami- nations. For us there would be a next time; for the seniors, it was the last time. Gloom seemed to hang around each senior classroom door, for high school days were over. Commencement activities would start a new life for each graduating student. Next year we knew that we’d be in their po- sition. We helped by acting as waiters at the senior banquet, serving as ushers at Bac- calaureate, and helping as quietly and ef- ficiently as possible. The seniors held their Prom at the Shoreham, held the graduation exercises in the Boys Gym, and slowly real- ized that twelve years were over. The fun and effort of those years could never be re- gained. That “they were graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase was now true of them. September’s seniors would include our names.

The world outside our high school world didn't completely escape our attention. The end of the Korean War and the resulting ex- change of prisoners were watched as closely as we e the actions of Stalin's successor, Malenkov. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles spent almost as much time outside the country as he did in Washington. The con- ferences were many; the locations, varied. We realized that future generations would find McCarthyism defined in their diction- aries, that the death of Senator Taft was a loss to the country, that Governor Warren of California became Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court, and that people were arguing about the value of the Bricker Amendment and its attempt to limit Presidential powers in treaty making. Queen Elizabeth II toured the world, visit- ing the British Commonwealth of Nations, while Naguib's role in Egypt was an up and down one. But we didn't have to go abroad for excitement. Three-dimensional movies were Hollywood's answer to TV, with new, wider screens being installed in an increasing number of theaters. Local news seized our attention with the shooting in the House of Representatives. Puerto Rican Nationalists wounded five Congressmen on the floor of the House during a session. The floods at Peace Cross were, at last, to be prevented; in B-town one of the biggest battles was over zoning. Yes, we knew the world was there, but . . .
