were much in evidence. But, all in all, it was at the P. A. dances after exciting games that everyone cut loose and had a hilarious time—dances that will be missed by the newest alumni. In review of their last year, its work and play, these Seniors feel deeply thankful that they are Americans in an American school and not living in countries helping to destroy man's progress, achieved after heroic struggles through the ages, and aiding in the substitution of imperialistic avarice for man’s finer instincts. They are grateful that they have learned that only through the acceptance of responsibility and the knowledge that theirs is the harder but more worthwhile way will they carry forth the banner of that peace, liberty, and equality which has been so aptly expressed as follows by one of Greenville High's own students: Heigh Ho! Come To The Fair! America, how sweet the name 'Tis my beloved home. How sweet the peace that we do feel, As o’er this land we roam. No censorship of speech have we. No ruler over all, No government that orders men To heed the army’s call. How thankful we should always be To live here in this land. Where we will not be chastened for The taking of our stand. Yes. though we know we have our faults. And hard, sometimes, the way: I like to hear the people tell, I'm for the U. S. A.!” America, God bless our land, 'Tis peaceful all around; Here justice flows like rivers broad And happiness abounds. —Ruby Clark OF THE 3 N THE PAGES

Of Gross Section o f OUR SCHOOL YEAR ONCE UPON A TIME a new group of young people launched forth upon their glorious adventure”—their Senior Year. Each one of them was challenged by those who had already traversed the road that stretched out before them, challenged to do as well and just a little better than any preceding group. Banded together by their common ideals, ambitions, and the tie of friendship which had stood the strain of years, these young people shared in the pitfalls and rewards which came to them. As they stood on the brink of their last year only a few of them realized that the ensuing months would terminate one of the happiest times in their lives—that never again would they share as indiscriminately the friendships and confidences of so large a group. The gaining of knowledge, in order to prepare them for the experiences which lay ahead, was acquired through daily meetings in the classroom. Outside of this formal education many activities rounded out their school life. Guided by advisors, they dipped” into all the benefits which the school had to offer. Orators and debaters alike felt their keen competition for top honors. In occupying the executive offices, they led the Student Council through one of its most successful years. The Girls League progressed steadily under the leadership of a most ambitious and energetic Senior. Because of their participation in Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, sports, and other activities affiliated with the school, they satisfied themselves that they gave as well as received and would not soon be forgotten by those remaining behind. Parties were one of the chief ingredients in this recipe of enjoyment. The annual Fall and Christmas parties as well as the C. C. C. and Honor Banquet were well worth the effort expended in their preparation. Of course the Prom was the big dress-up event where full skirts and pastel shades 2 Football Training's Over!
