Class History CKWARD. turn backward, oh. Tina , in thy flight —and wc see ourselves as green sophomores. The first event that made us feel a part of things was the 1 OH party given in our honor in the school gym. Then there was that wonderful, wonderful Activity Ticket Rally that went over so big with the student body. After a fair football season of four up and four away, we began to look-forward to the 0| eretta The Refugee. Basketball season started olT with a bang. We tripjjed up our opponents left and right but then came the day when Coach Eugene Wolanski was called to the service of his country. Things still seemed to be on our side until that fatal day Lady Luck took a j mvdcr and we lost the game to West Tech and the play-off too. We did gel to play in the runner-up game at the Public Auditorium and we defeated East Tech 4( -37. (Could it have been because good old Hank was back in there playing?) Our sophomore year closed with the presentation of the Annual Spring Play The Arrival of Kitty. Then came the hustle and bustle which accompanies the end of school and with fond memories of the past year and high expectations for our next year we hurried home for vacation. After a wonderful vacation, we returned and were greeted not by the familiar faces of Mr. Wixom, principal, and Mr. Walton, assistant principal, but Mr. Decx and Mr. Lee who were taking their places. The only colorful point in the entire football season was during the Lincoln game when we scored our one and only touchdown of the season. The surprise of Mr. Yingling's sudden death was a shock to the entire student body. With the successful presentation of the original production “Show Boat we became basketball minded once again. After the grudge game with West Tech, we walked away victorious and the ix int of who had the letter team was proven. (The teams were composed of the identical players who opposed each other the year before). With the backbone of our team leaving in mid-season things got pretty rough and wc took it on the chin. When the excitement of the big Bond Drive had died down (we succeeded in buying a PT-19 trainer), we looked forward to another Annual Spring Play “Charm School” in which a number of Juniors had parts. Our Junior year closed with the celebration of South's fiftieth anniversary. So off we went to our last real summer vacation from school. But even our Junior year was dimmed in contrast to the glory and magic of being a senior. At last we had attained our cherished goal. What strange things did this senior year have in store for us? Officers were elected and the class became organized. We now set ourselves to the tasks we had assumed. There was a lot of hard work still to be done. An average but rather uneventful footlxill and basketball season passed. There was the 12B-I2A Social and then came the Operetta H. M. S. Pinafore which was worth all the time and effort put into it. Time sped on and before we knew it the Annual Spring Play Arsenic and Old Lace” had been given and all of the Seniors were looking forward to the Senior Prom. When the time came wc were not disappointed. Just a few more days of school and then Commencement. The time of parting had come. It is difficult to express the feelings of Seniors. We are happy because we realize we have succeeded, yet we are sad when we think wc must leave forever. But so it must lie—happiness with sorrow— 25
