The History of the Senior Class Preface: The following account is not complete. Like all histories, it can hut trace up to the present time the accomplishments and actions of its subjects, and can only pray for what comes later! A decade or so ago there burst forth in the heavens a bright new group of stars which all fell to earth and became, in time, the present Senior Class. Cynics, unbelievers, and doubting astronomers that question this can blame our existence on Adam and Eve. What catastrophe put us here is unimportant; we’re here, we’re Seniors, and we have a history. In the month of September, 1944, we first saw the assorted gods and goddesses called Seniors. and we hoped that some day we would attain such heights. Since that was two years away, though, we decided to become traditional high school students. Driven by violent loves and wild passions of jealousy which shifted weekly and weakly, we slowly became accustomed to the accepted rules and acted accordingly, for belter or for worse. We were industrious learners (for a while, anyway), but soon learned our best lesson—that learning doesn’t pay! Clubs and social groups flourished, and all was well. That summer, several were arrested for stealing watermelons. We were all shocked, for we could not picture such lawlessness. The Junior year was a conflict. Being the in-betweens, the dates with both Sophomores and Seniors were numerous. VVe tried to act our age, but never quite got around to forgetting parties, boys, girls, and true, undying love. More clubs invited membership, and things in general seemed brighter. Many stole glances at the illustrious third-floor clan of teachers and anticipated their fiscal year of avoiding the hazards of work. We looked after the graduating Seniors with an attitude of both respect and good-riddance, for we knew that only the summer stood in our way. Ah, bliss! Ah, peace! Like so many mighty monarchs we tread the sidewalks last fall and knew that all eyes were upon us. We watched leaves wither in our presence, as did the freshmen. The marathon love affairs droned on. and a few new ones broke the monotony. At-social functions our appearances were of much interest.” Several new clubs were formed, each adding a little to our lives in some way. The Senior Meeting, that congress of wisdom and knowledge, was held to elect our officers and to decide the texture, design, and color of our graduation clothing. Final tests were passed overwhelmingly with that flourish so common to our school, and the last fling of dances and parties afforded our taxed minds the needed relaxation to insure our composure for the’’ night. Came the march music, and we gracefully walked down the glorious path of honor. We nodded to the spectators out of our hearts, and proceeded to graduate. Knighted with out diplomas, we joined King Arthur’s Multiplication Table and ended our high school da .e.
