It was then that scruffy little boys first met bashful little girls and showed their undying de- votion by tormenting them till they screamed with delight. ln a more serious vein they all strove to master the syllable sounds, the multi- plication tables, the names of continents, and the story of George Washington. They learned to work and play together. Progressing to iunior high school, the Forty- niners unwillingly acquired a new duty, Night- work, which has plagued them ever since, but together they got into things like football, bas- ketball, track, band, chorus, orchestra, and plays. These gave the ring's band of Friendship a chance to grow faster than ever before. They learned too their first step in democratic self- government by campaigning and voting for the officers of their choice. ln the fall of T947 more than 325 Forty- niners came together for the first time from Clair- ton, Wilson, and the townships, and the circle of Friendship was complete. Together for three years they added the final touches of Knowledge studying diligently geometry theorems, verb con- iugations, Shakespeare's plays, chemical formu- las, and typewriter keyboards. Now each Forty-niner wears a gold ring symbolizing both Friendship and Knowledge. They look hopefully to the future when all Na- tions will be bound by one ring-the Golden Ring of World Peace. I
