Hlass Prvphevy By Mary Nell Smith Although it has never been publicly announced it is generally known that I possess the remarkable power of projecting myself through the years into any given time in which I am interested. Tonight, being restless and weary with the cares of the day, I longed for a change of scene and tune. So, closing my eyes and re- laxing one night with the moon shining bright, looking at the stars and wondering to myself how I wish I could predict what my fellow classmates will be doing five or even twenty years from today.

For awhile I was afraid it was too dark for me to move because I could not see anything. Then out of the darkness came one little star shining very bright, and with this star came a great voice, of course this frightened me because I could see no one and like a wish coming true out of no where this voice said to me, l shall grant your wish. With only one star in the sky shining very bright all of my classmates came before me very clearly.

We were represented among the best again when Chester Sumbry won second prize on Talent Hunt , which was held at the Spencer Senior High School Auditorium, this was during our Junior Year. The end of the four year period is drawing near and as our motto states: We have crossed the bay, but the ocean lies ahead. We take the opportunity to say now, that in our far from humble opinion the Class of 1961, is the most brilliant, attractive, and talen ted of any class known to history and will be always remembered by the faculty of the South Girard High School and the people of the community as That wonderful class of 1961.
