Itis been a long hard struggle but we've finally succeeded in earning the title of upper classmenf' Some of our experiences have been bitter and others sweet, but all in all everyone of us has fond mem- ories of the Armstrong School. The course of the events taking place in this year has been great. Among the outstanding ones is the day when we eagerly slipped our shiny new rings onto our fin- gers. Of course we can't ignore the tedious chore of selling refreshments at the basketball games in order to earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Then came the one night none of us will forget, the night of the Prom. lt took lots of hard work and plenty of money but we had fun and enjoyed our- selves a great deal, This has been a swell year, but we are still looking forward to becoming Seniors.
