THE CAULDRON 29 One of the members of our class, Margaret Jackson, had the honor of being chosen as candidate for the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage. One of the last events of our senior year was the Kippy Karnival. The follow- ing students were elected as Karnival chairmen: General chairman, Dale Lindseyg Entertainment chairman, Barbara Allen, Ball chairman, Wenclell Webbe1'g Booth chairman, Clifton I-luntg Decorating chairman, Betty O'Brieng and Clean-up chairman, Joseph Baum. As we look back over our high school record and read about our activities for the past four years, our thoughts carry us through many pleasant channels of memory. VVe have had a lot of fun in high school, and it doesn't seem possible that we will soon be graduating and going out into the world. We are sorry that some of the fellows, who are Hghting for their country, will not be here for graduation, but we are proud of them and our thoughts will be with them wherever they are. It is very difficult to find words to express how grateful we are to Mr. Blaisdell and our teachers for all they have done for ug during the past four years. W'e hope we haven't caused them too many sleepless nights, and that when they think of our class their thoughts will be pleasant ones. Of course, we were a little bit irresponsible at times, but the faculty seemed to understand us and we usually were forgiven. And so with regrets that those happy days are gone, we close this his- tory with the wish that the graduating classes of the future will enjoy high school as much as we have. MURIEL L. ADAMS '45 .3
