How important we felt when we started out for school that first morning of our new school year in 1949. We were Seniors! As we walked along, we saw some old friends from the year before. There were others, too, who felt important, for they were Freshmen. We were reminded of our own Freshman year and remembered how anxious we were to do great things, With it came memories-memories of our first officers, who were elected with such pride under the able leadership of Mr. B. Lahr. Our officers were: P7'6,ll:6l!fllf .. ..,, George Francisco Serreiary ..,, .. ,Theresa Gaiotti 'I'1'e11.r1n'er , , Johanna Tockett
