Senior Party This most magnificent event took place at the home of our superintendent on the memorable and time esteemed night of Friday the 15th,March 1956. As the notorious flu was at that time visiting our community. All our class members were not able to attend. As the class was small and there being more girls than boysg each person was to invite a guest of the opposite sex and to present the food committee with 25 cents each couple. A The meeting was called to order by a well known red haired person who at the moment was master of ceremonies An enjoyable evening was had and many forfeits were paid. The food committee outdid itself when it planned the excellent refreshments- fruit salad with whipped cream and cake.Mrs Craig deserves much credit for the prepar- ation of the food.Dishwashers volunteered.Many and various snappings and shrieks issued from the kitchen. Those in the other room were uneasylbut they calmed them selves thinking thatnmurder will outnflf anyone wished to learn the art of popping a cup towel to the best ad- vantagelsee Miss Baker after school for lessons! We must have been a terrible outfit for Mr Craig was ill the next day.There was one guest the night before that was not invited- the flu.

r,.,,, party,but the phrase?Sophomore partyn,bore signif- ance. Needless to say,by the end of our second year we felt almost as important as the Seniors. As yet,the juniors have received little attention, but as a rule they may be considered a very civil group,and are at least more sophisticated than the Sophomores. We now made certain that no one commited the unpardonable sin-of'mistaking us for students in the lower classes. To those unfortunates we mere- ly nodded,or else said nothing,as the occasion de- manded.The crowning of our egotism was a great and wonderful play called U Special Delivery W. The pre- sentation of this magnificent drama was a happy oc- casion,or at least, so the assorted spectators said. With the proceeds from the above named play, we took the Seniors to St. Louis,to behold the wonderd of that great metropolis. There we visited certain places of interest, and to the great amazement of most people, none of our usual specimens were detained to be ex- hibited at the zoo. The social event of the year was a Weiner roast held on the Auxvasse Creek near the home of Forrest Turner, and we arenft kidding when we call it the best party we ever had. And last,but by no means least,comes the thrilling narration of events in our Senior year. At last we were H the top U, and succeed in making that fact very evident when we again assembled on the first day of school. We swept magestically into the halls,looking neither to the right nor to the left,and with solmen dignity took our places in the auditorium,where we were made to realize a new sense of our responsibil- ity and were told to set examples for the lower classmen. Only a few days later the peacful quiet was broken by the cryu Senior Class Meetingn.Thence began our struggles with jewelry salesm n and man- ufacturers of invitations.diplomas,and other heter- ogenous articles, which,according to mily Post,are necessary for graduation,and we might also mention the desperate struggle with finances. After this first trying week events were much the same as they had been in other years,eXcept that our minds were more con- cerned with the future than they had been before. The following is the class roll as it was in Sept. 1952 :- Lewis Berry, Katherine Chism,Virginia Chism, Clifford Fox, Elton Hape,Albert Kidwell,Sallie Dean Hatcher,Curtis Humphries,Henerietta McCluer,Louise Meyer,Henry Mills,Marguerite Moore,LeRoy 0'Brien, Paul Owen,Virginia Pasley,Mary Ross,Orville Sheets, Mabel Yates,Luoille Wilkes,John Hatcher.
