CLASS HISTORY It was September, 1957, that the good ship Archer City High School stood at an- chor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom, but this day was a gala day in its history. for some of the passengers were already aboard - Larry Canady, Harrell Cross. Fern Deen, Judy Glenn. Bud Lowack, Lena Petit, Tony Pollock, David Schiabs. Lee Roy Smith, Carolene Allen Pryor. Jeanie Bratt, Carlton Deen. Donna Findley, Tommye Jane Mullis, Jimmy Pitts, Brent Proffitt, Ronnie Reed, Gayle Stewart. Jerry Walsh. Gwen Yeager, Judith Thurber, and Butch McLemore. And we were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest for the Fountain of Perfect Understand- mg. As the ship stood at anchor, the last passengers began to arrive for the voyage which we all realized was to be the most important of our lives. We were enthusiastic and asked many eager questions about our voyage. Our Captain assured us that if we were diligent and persevering in out duties, we should easily reach our destination at the end of four years. So it was with hopeful hearts and smiling faces that we bade goodbye from the deck to those left behind in the Grammar Grades, steamed out of the harbor, and embarked on our Voyage of High School Life. We were young and socially inclined. so it did not take us long to become ac- quainted with our fellow passengers and the Crew. Our shipwreck fears were wiped away by the assurance that an able staff of Seamen had us in their charge, and in no time we were sailing smoothly over Freshman Sea. When we made port at Junior Bay. Rex Jarvis and Eileen Marsh boarded our ship. We then settled down for a long cruise, for our next port would not be until we reached the Isle of Seniors, where Suzy Abercrombie was waiting for our arrival. It would be interesting to tell the numerous delightful experiences of our voyage, the friendships we've made, the lessons we've learned, the innumerable pattings of various shipmates for other shores, with the why and wherefore of it all; but it actually has little significance except to ourselves - the few who still remain together to land at Commencement Wharf. We must not divulge the secret of our ship. We must not forget the loyalty to our class colors valiantly flying at the masthead. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given to the world. So it must be with the Class of 1961. But we shall go on writing new logs of greater adventures and more wonderful dis- coveries, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end. the Voyage of Real Life is just now at its triumphant Commencement.
