SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page Senior Sense and Nonsense How it feels to be a Senior When anyone asks me if I am going to school, it gives me the same feeling as if I had just inherited a million dollars from an old aunt, to be able to holler back that I am a senior at Southside High School. I think it is a great honor to be a senior, knowing that under-class- mates are looking up to me for what is right and wrong. Norman Seeley. Life goes on and I with it. That night will come and I will live xt. Tears within and smiles without, A funeral in my heart, The joy of a wedding in my face, A rose thrown, Caught, And a thorn in my finger- The next day I will write a friend That last night was Commencement. Kathryn Bacon. My Senior Year Until now, my senior year, I had never realized what school had really meant to me. School never began to show me what a good ,place it was until now, when I realize I must leave it. I realize that this is the last senior play, the last senior prom, and other senior functions I shall ever attend in high school. It makes me wish I could start all over again and be a freshman just to be able to have another senior year. Wouldn't it be glorious to live again these four years-especially the last one? Helen Worster. Advice to Inferiors O under classmen, take some advice from one who knows,-a senior. You, O juniors, do not strut around next year telling of your high position in school,- for actions speak louder than words 3 you, sophomores, do not try to bluff in your classes- for a word from the wise is sufficient , you O freshmen, do not laugh at those above or below you who fumble,-for he who laughs last laughs best . Take this advice and in future years be a worth-while senior. Bernice Guile. 28 Never could I guess how it might feel to be a senior? Of course when a fresh- man I was sure I knew, when a sopho- more, I thought perhaps I knew, when a junior, I knew I didn't knowg and now that I'm a senior, I'm afraid I really don't know, even now. I have gone through all the changes, mental and phy- sical, from the freshman days, yet now Ehat I have become a senior, how does it eel? Freshman, you'd never guess. I have, to a degree, lost your self-confidence. Where are those happy, carefree days I spent with you, O Sophomore? It was while I knew you, my j,unior days, that I found myself lacking in all those qual- ities I most desired. You, senior days, the last days of my girlhood, have been filled with the realization that-I know nothing. Mary Catherine Heron. How I Feel About Commencement Having lived aboard the good ship Education through four years of changeable weather, sometimes flounder- ing on the high turgid waters of mathe- matics and Latin, sometimes riding leisure- ly ont the sunny, tranquil seas of French and English, I finally approach the end of my high school career. However, I am fully realizing that I am nearing the clay when, with lingering handclasps and many tearful auf revoirs , I sadly turn away with but a roll of parchment to ease my sorrows. I turn to our success- ors and believe I can truthfully say in behalf of my fellow class-mates, Juniors, we envy you. Kenneth Snyder. Commencement, I have been told by certain wise persons, means the end of school days, those happy days which par- ents refer to as the happiest days you will ever have , and the beginning of life. At the mere mention of word com- mencement , I immediately experience a queer, sinking sensation, which is best described as the feeling a student has when speaking in assembly to that grin- ning sea of faces for the first time. Would that I were a soph once more, looking forward not to the end of my happy days, but to two full years more in dear Southside! Need I discuss further my opinion of commencement? Drusilla Walters.
