June Class History As I gaze into the crystal ball which reveals the past, I see, in the year 43 , the East Detroit High School beckoning forth to a group of bashlul, but determined, freshmen to tread the priceless path of knowledge to an anticipated success. I can see the novel expressions on their countenances as they try to acquaint themselves with the usual customs of the school. The scene now changes, leaving these poor be- wildered freshmen, to the following year. I see the same group, now sophomores, but a considerable change has taken place. They have begun to make themselves a part of the school by participating in many activities such as sports, music, and clubs. During this year, they also increased in number to over 120 strong. Again the crystal ball changes, now to the junior year. After sponsoring their .I-Hop successfully, they seem to have encountered the Junior Play entitled, QA Little Honey , which has turned out even better than they had imagined. There is still a corner of this scene which we seem to have overlooked-It's the Jr.-Sr. Party. Even the Seniors are amazed at the wonderful time they are having. What's this appearing??'?-why I believe it is the same faces.-Yes, it isg but what a remarkable change. I think I have found the solution to this sudden recon- version--they're seniors. With Miss Wendela and Miss Buell as their spon- sors to guide them through their final year, they have also chosen capable class oliicersz President. .lack Dan- ielsg Vice-President, Bob Lenzg Secretary. Cathy Mor- gang and Treasurer, Yvonne Trevor. I see they have started their senior year out with a bang in Wedding Spells , one of the best plays the crystal ball has ever witnessed. Now everyone seems to be having a good time- yet they're not in schoolQOh, I see, they're on a boat and there're ever so many unfamiliar faces among them. It must he the senior cruise that I've heard about. Already the scene is fading, but look at this-some beauties, eh? By the appearance of the formals and corsages and the decorations it is the senior prom. I see food-a feast?? Yes, the seniors are really en- joying themselves at their banquet. Did you hear that will and prophecy? Commencement comes into view as Bob Kaiser de- livers the Introduction entitled One World, One People, followed by Shirley Kelcher's speech on Poli- tical Unity'. Economic Unity is presented by Dolores Muneio, and Social Unity by Thelma Studer. Bob Lenz proceeds with his address on Cultural Unity . The Graduate's Responsibility to the World given by Marge McLain brings the commencement program to a close. And now the climax ol this four-year episode comes as these seniors, join in singing the Alma Mater. It is now that they realize how much their friends and their school really mean to them. They are at last aware of the delinition of the phrase, the Best Years of Our Livesn, when applied to our high school days.
