We were the oldest class in the school, and we appreciated our prestige. Things were reversedg freshmen looked up and addressed us accordingly. Our first place in the lunch line Went unquestionedg they thought us infallible. The football season ended in an undefeated blaze of glory. Our own little puddle was shrinking. Mid-years held a new fear as our diplomas hung in the balance. In a short time, football and basketball rallies were over forever, then the lllinuet, and finally the Senior Play. We tacked a period to the end of many things. Before we knew it, the year had almost gone. The last assembly touched many a hard heart. We knew at last why seniors cried. P. H. S. was no moreg we were Alumni. TQIVXJ
