Memories of important events and the realization that carefree youth was past brought lumps to many throats. l5arger's was caused by the sad- ness of parting, Franles occurred when he thought of the waiting job. Over all this joy and sadness hovered the shadowy forms of the faculty, poised to destroy seniors' hopes with a liberal sprinkling of Es. This was the month of waiting and dreaming, plan- ning and spending. Each time that the goal was realized the efforts expended seemed worthwhile. May-slow coming, fast going-was the most impressive of them all. Patience and fortitude are at last re- warded as Betty Faison receives her annual from Dot Nixon and Mrs. Mary Barnes. in

Twelve years of study is rewarded as Robin Clair receives her diploma from Mr. Littleton. The last month. Finis. All year long we had appre- hended it. Now that it had come we were not too sure. With graduation we would leave the environ- ment we had known so long, the home we had helped to make. In the past years we had been molding wisdom and knowledge and character that now must reach completion. The Finishing touches were all done. Graduation acts as an unveiling ceremony. An artistis masterpiece complete to the fullest extent, every minute detail of Manhood. Graduation and the breaking away were a part of it. We were building memories, fulfilling dreams, and later we would mar- vel at the ecstacy of it. We stood on a pedestal that the school had built for us. Though we little realized it, the basis of everything we knew and loved was learned here. Our friends, they have come and gone. We will remember, perhaps not their names, but who could forget Anson and his trumpet awing the crowd so that their souls rose and searched the heights with the notes. Senior calling cards arrive and the days following are as busy as a fron- tier exchange post. Engaged in this type of barter are Charlotte Hackett, Drkzne Seay, Barbara Grigg, Mary Carole M izelle, Blenda Erickson, Mir- tice McCormick, Deanna Cox, and the one lone male, Benny Etheridge. Graduation always brings a rash of sparklers. Senior girls privileged to receive such do-dadsl' were Toni Puma, Annette Lane, Nancy Spivey, Rose Mason, Helen Smith, Adabelle Shirley and Ieanny Smith. 1' Z . 1+ 5'
