SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As sophomores we were just a group of young people that were looking forward to a goal, a goal to reach that would make us realize our place in the world of men. Yes, as sophomores we hardly realized, but hoped that someday we would attain all the chances and mannerisms of the seniors. Way back then, as we look back, there were many things done that were imprinted firmly in our minds — there were the many dances, those English classes ond most of all, all the fun we had with our home room day programs. Those skits we planned carefully and carried out beautifully even though our acting wasn’t given much acclaim. Then there were the days of the cafeteria races. These were times when a bundle of humanity came storming down the steps and came roaring down the hall. These days are gone now. The race has slowed down considerably. We realized we were getting older and getting nearer to the dignity of the senior class as we were getting ready to move closer to the goal. Maybe some wouldn’t make it, some would drop along the road of education, but most of us walked the straight and narrow and found ourselves juniors. Juniors at last. Well, we were even closer to the heights of fame. We realized even more that we were gaining on our goal. The junior class that year was more than fun. We remember the chemistry classes — boy, we really showed those chemists how to mix stuff. Of course it didn’t come out right all the time, but we tried again and it wouldn’t come out right again so we tried again. Then there were all those intramurals — we were trying to get a team to beat the Killers. We did, with some help. There were the senior prom decorations, and when we all had to help, we kind of thought we were getting on the inside of the senior class at last. There was the unforgettable trip to Big Pond which was very eventful for all concerned. Then, when some of the fellows in our class pulled up stakes and went to the armed services, we felt that the world affairs were getting even closer to us. When we had all settled down to the work that school offered us, we were sure we were gaining knowledge that would help us some day become seniors and help better ourselves so we would knowhow to govern ourselves when we reached our place in the front of the train. This, we realized, brought us even closer to our goal. We thought that everyday of our work in the junior class brought us even closer to being able to set the standards of the senior class. We took more interest, or so it seemed, in our classes so we would be better suited for the time when we would become the noble class that will be setting examples for the underclassmen. We wanted to accomplish, when we got there, a standard for classes behind us to aim at, to give them a goal to try to reach, such as the one we were trying for. We wanted to show the classes that graduated ahead of us that we could establish as high or higher standards than those that they set for us. This we realized was a goal that we were to reach; if we reached it, we knew we would have accomplished something very worthwhile in our lives. Then the year passed and we became seniors. As we came back to school, we took the front seats in assembly; we also noticed a greater feeling of responsibility as the people of the day coaches looked to us as we were in the halls, in assembly or in meetings. They, you might say, were thinking then what we were thinking not too long ago about that goal. They were thinking too of all the things they would gain being seniors — the liberties and other things of that type that come with being seniors. They thought they would be able to reach the goal we would set, but we believe the senior class of 1952 will set a record that no other class will come close to reaching. 21
