Harrow of the f'F0rzj1-Nmezff' of My High Several years ago we, the Forty-Niners of Clay High School, began an adventure which is now about to end. How well we remember that fateful September morning in 1945 when, one hundred fifty strong, we boarded the wagons for the gold fields of higher education. It took us four years to get there, but now that we've arrived, we're glad we stayed with it. We were plenty green that first year, but we gradually became accustomed to the new ways and began to make a name for ourselves. By the time we were really start- ing to roll, summer vacation came along and forced us to take time out for a breather. The next year, things got off to a flying start, Our whole group worked hard and made a success of everything we undertook, Our wagon train had now reached the half way mark in its journey and we were feeling pretty good about everything in general. Gathering momentum at every turn, we set out on the third lap of our jaunt. Our hnal destination was now in sight. Wfe tried to build up our financial reserve for the final year, but were not quite as successful as we had hoped. However, we made up for lost time during the last year. We are now within a few steps of the end. The class has determined to use its money for the completion of the gateway which was begun by the class of 1948. We look back with pride over the years spent in striving toward our goal, and hope to make our fortunes in the world, as did the original Forty-Niners. 14
