games. Although the girls were not seniors, it was something new to us. With more elaborate costumes and greater experience, the twirlers should become one of the finest units in the State, just as our band and orchestra have become such with only a scratch start. A feature of Albany High School is its literary societies. Both the boys' and girls' societies do much toward literary and social life in the school. Those of us who ever attended one of the society dances will long remember it. In our senior year these dances were particularly fine. School history was made in regard to them. Since the begin- nings of the societies, Philodoxia and Theta Alpha had been regarded as brother and sister, with a like relation between Philologia and Theta Sigma. This last year, however, Alpha and 'Logia joined to present their dance, and Sigma co-operated with 'Doxia. A precedent was broken and a new one instituted. Will we ever forget some of the audi- torium programs presented to us on VVednes- day mornings in high school? We took our share of call downs fremeniber the last C. B. A. game?j, we listened to a share of encouragement speeches, and we received our share of warnings. But on the whole the programs were interesting, entertaining, and informative. For the iirst time, the Science Club presented a demonstration in relation to its work. Hope was then expressed that in future years each club or organization could present a program to the student body. Another outstanding chapel program was a talk by the great runner, Glen Cunningham. ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL 1Q4O Perhaps a few of our high-school fads will bear remembering. Our days were the days of the jitterbug, days of slave bracelets and junk jewelry. Sport clothes were in vogue. Saddle and slipper shoes, sport jackets and more sport jackets as well as numerous other sporting ensembles appeared. Con- fucius say was the international password in our last year, and no one without a library of these sayings was socially correct. Some were funny, others not told in the best of company, but everyone used them. And so we have traversed the path of grammar and high-school life. For some this is the end of formal schooling, the greatest scholastic triumph in life. Others of us will continue and supplement our education with a rich college training. For all it is a milestone in life-one successfully passed. From here we continue better equipped than when we started, more eager to accept responsibility. Where do we go? Some to college, some to work, some to fame, some to oblivion. just as we started some years ago, all separated, so we will end, all in different ports and occupations. But no matter how we have fared, no matter what we shall or do achieve, no matter where we go, and no matter what hap- pens, for better or for worse, we will remember our days spent in Albany High School. We have left our mark on the school and the school leaves its mark on us. We have gotten out of the school just what we put in. But again I say, we will not forget our life here no matter how short or long a time we spent in these halls. RALPH FREDERICK lzgl 'fart
