Remember when we chartered a bus to take the class to the Kings- ford-Norway Basketball game at Norway? Even though our boys lost that night our spirits were not dampened in the least as we noisily and reluctantly started for home. After a long period of practice and drilling, Nothing but the Truth, our play was ready for presentation. It was given April 18th and even though Oliver Cejka and Peter Tortelli forgot some of their lines and substituted many speeches of their own invention, the play was a success. Nobody but they and Kathleen Oas will remember how they mixed each other up in their lines. Right after the play we began preparation for the Banquet and Prom. VVe decorated the gym for the Prom and as the Banquet and Prom were so close together, we used the same decorations for both, thus killing two birds with one bullet as the saying goes. The Prom was given the next week and an elaborate affair it was. What a chance for romance amid the flowers and trees with sweet music and moonlight effect. As the school term closed we felt that we were Seniors. Nobody to look up to and everything to look down upon. Such thoughts filled us with dignity and hence the term 'tdigniiied Senior. In the fall of our Senior year we elected Jerome Williams president and Miss Miller class advisor. We realized that a big year was ahead of us and began to work right from the start by choosing an annual staff, and setting them to work. The Senior boys were given a spaghetti feed by the Senior girls one night in October. We boys thought it was rather good of the girls until it came time to wash the dishes, then we had to help. At Christmas the boys challenged the girls to a contest to see who could sell the most Christmas greeting cards in a period of about two weeks. The proceeds were to go into the Senior Treasury. The boys Won by a good margin. The loosers gave the winners a feed. One afternoon in December, the Senior boys defeated the Faculty in a game of basketball. All the fans seemed to support the Seniors which aided them to run up a high score. We decided to wear caps and gowns at graduation. George Monte raised great objections. His main argument seemed to be that he thought that no gown could be ordered long enough for him. At the end of the semester we said good-bye to Miss Miller, our beloved class advisor. A farewell party was given by the Seniors at her home. We started the new semester with three advisors, namely, Mr, Schwei for general activities, Miss Alving for the annual, and Miss Belhumeur for the class play. The Senior play It Looks Like Rain, was given April 10. It was a great success and as a result the cast and managers were banquetted by Miss Belhumeur. They greatly appreciated her efforts. James Ochetti of the Juniors found the hatchet and the Juniors demanded a party. As the last six weeks slipped by we suddenly found our high school days were over and graduation at hand. Many will be the memories of our four year sojourn at Kingsford. -Joseph Ehlinger
