Senior Class History The old school building under the elms settled creakingly down on its foundations. Its huge black hulk sprawled comfortably beneath the full moon that Hooded the campus with iight. I-Io hum, rumbled a voice from the buildings depths, another year almost gone. I wonder how many of my children are leaving this spring? About ninety-five I think there are. Ah, I remember the day they came here. It seems just yesterday. I felt so sorry for them. I always feel sorry for the Freshmen. They look so bewildered! They didn't make much of an impression that first year. They sort of stayed in the background. But I knew that class was going places. They had that look about them. It was their Sophomore year that they began showing their merits. They took part in everything around here. Athletics, clubs and oh, yes, that year their class raised the most money for the big new stadium out there. By the time they were juniors they had made quite a name for themselves. I remember their junior Class Play and their Prom . I think being upper classmen went to their heads a bit, but they soon grew out of it. And now they're Seniors-almost ready to graduate. This last year has really been their best I think. They led the field in everything. They started right out raising money for the Memorial Gate, early last fall. They fairly rocked these old halls with dances, beneht performances, shows and their class play. Yes, wherever that Senior Class was, there was bound to be excitement! But now it's almost over. I don't know why I always feel so bad every year. I know there'll be another class, but somehow . . . I hate to see them go. A sound like a great sigh echoed gustily through the old building's empty halls as the voice trailed awayinto silence. Once more she creaked her timbers and settled on her foundations. Then all was still and the old building called Clay High School slept silently under the tall elm trees. 15
