SENIUR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1947 has undergone days of war and days of reconx ci sion We entered our freshman year as veterans of a horrible w ar con tributing our efforts and our time to win the war We learned what to do in air raids and blackouts how to applv Hrst aid how to stretch ra tions and what the war was being fought for While our brotheis and sisters gave their lix es on the war front we learned in school how to mike saci 1flC9S worth while and how to preserve other liy es During our sophomore year the world became aware of a poweiful new weapon the atomic bomb That summer of 1945 the bomb was used the war completed and a new era of hlstorv was beginning A milestone had been reached and it was up to us to determine the right path in cross ing it It was a gamble and our liy es were the stake While the world commenced to settle down to a pe ice time routine schools were endeay oring to teach us the necessities for a democratic world Now we were growing up we were iuniors The pangs of adolesencc were sharpened with the realization that zdolescence must be skipped tnd maturitv must be reached New faces appeared in the cl xsses faces of xetei ins Some had been wounded and some had suffered other horrois They knew what must be done to keep our principles of democrxcy tnd they helped us to comprehend the graye responsibility Other new ideas were made prominent that year Two new courses of study were offered radio and iournalism They became the most frequented rooms ts well as beneficial Improx ements weie also made in the yocational md agri cultural programs Ifinally our dream came true We were seniors' Several new and wonderful changes had become apparent in the portals of H H S A new principal had come to help guide us and another school of knowledge was opened in our building It was the beginning of the Junior College Bang ing 1nd pounding was heard throughout the building The office was en luged to accommodate the dean of the Junior College the guidance oflice and the principal s office. The Radio Workshop was moved and improy ed the library was enlarged and new stoves were bought for the larger home economics room. It is incredible to think of all the wonderful things that happencd. A democratic student government was set up. Laws were made and enforc- ed by the representatives of the students. Campaigns were run and el c- tions were held. A series of guidance programs were staged to help the pupils choose careers or colleges. A school band was organized ind '1 larger orchestra assembled. The highlight of the year was the first unde- fe zted football team in twenty years. Yes it was a great ye lr. Four years of high school might be compared to a ride on a swing. When swinging you begin on the ground and gather momentum. After you have sailed as high as possible you glide back to earth and get off. The ride begins in the ninth grade and gr idually works up enough force to p rss through the tenth and elex enth grades until you reach the last year the peak or climax. Then slowly you come back to earth when you are grid- u xted. The ride is over but there are others ahead. The ride you ve re- ceived is very precious' it is an education. Now you re ready' to stxrt something unfamiliar. You re prepared to take the first step into the ex- citing unknown the future. ESTHER RIDDLE. PAGE SIXTEEN 1 1 111 ' 1,4 1 IA A A .IA - vi .
