SENIOR CLASS POEM You are the emblem of Attica High, So as through life you go, Make your motto Do or Die , Don't quit when the going is slow. You are the spirit of our school, So always do your best, Keep this as your Golden Rule 'Ll'll do every task with jest. Nothing can be too hard If you have the will to wing From no success are you barred, If you have the spirit within, The spirit to keep on trying And work on inch by inch, With a courage that is undying, That will never weaken or flinch. Through these years of learning Many a friend you have met, Keep the fires of friendship burning That's one thing you'll never regret. Let this be your consolation When you face the trials of life, Fight on to your destination, Unmindful of trouble and strife. To the land our fathers won, Be loyal, brave and true, One for all and all for one, Keep flying the red, white and blue. Page 22 By Marian Geise

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four short years ago the embryo of a successful senior class entered Attica High School. We carefully selected the outstanding students of the class as our officers. Under the capable direction of Mr. Kniffen, the freshmen class placed second in Stunt Night. We completed our first year with five dollars in our treasury. As sophomores we broke all tradition and were the outstanding class in the school. This year, not contented with second prize, we established ourselves as the number one class by taking first prize in Stunt Night. We created history by being the first of the undergraduate classes to collect dues. Mrs. Sands did a wonderful job as our class advisor. Our third year in high school was our busiest one. Leo Denault, the most ambitious president we have had, really kept us on the move. Our Junior play This Genius Business was a superb production. Bill Flanagan furnished the music for our event of the year, the Junior Prom. ln June we bade the Seniors farewell by toasting them with a most delicious banquet. Miss Martin and Mrs. Ranger were the class advisors for this memorable year. At last we were distinguished Seniors. The class officers for our last year were: George Schreiber, President: Virginia Jensen, Vice-President, Robert Schreiber, Treasurers Frances Myers, Secretary, Vernon Rifenburg and Jean Bishop, Class Representatives. Our conscientious advisors were Miss French, Mr. Fox and Mr. Hewlett. The Fall Hop was our first dance and it was a moderate success. The ring committee was chosen in November. After a short wait, we received our class rings, which are really the smartest that have been worn on the finger of a senior in a decade. Miss Charlotte Woodworth directed The Ugly Duckling to an unprecedented height. Once more Bill Flanagan furnished hot and sweet music for our Senior Ball. Gorgeous decorations changed our gym into a palacial ball- room. Doing our part for our country burst forth in the spring. Nearly five hun- dred dollars in defense savings stamps were purchased by seniors. During the year paid entertainers were brought to our assemblies to make them more enjoyable. Having worked hard for four years the sun is beginning to set in that memor- able heaven. June will approach and disappear. Baccalaureate, Class Night and Graduation will pass before us. Yes, Seniors, we're through. The four best years of our lives have been spent. Let us keep first in our minds, what we have exper- ienced for four years, the teachers, the knowledge we have acquired, our fellow students, and most of all the doctrine of democracy that we cherish.
