As we reminisce about our previous days of life in high school, we’ll remember the shyness and uncertainty that we knew as F reshmen. During our Sophomore year we gained the necessary confidence that comes with experience and knowledge. With the advent of the Junior year we in- creased our incessant efforts to gain the money for the social hi-lite of our four years — the Junior-Senior Prom. In the year just completed we worked with feverish efforts to present the Annual that will forever be a constant reminder of our illustrious high school days. With the memories of these days firmly planted in our minds, we venture forth confidently.
