Bolton High School - Bruin Yearbook (Alexandria, LA)

Now we realize the truth that lay in the advice given us. We know that high school life is over and we feel that nothing we will ever do or think will be as much fun as those days. While some sat by calmly and let the days go by without getting the best out of them, others did not waste these precious moments, but strived to fulfill their cherished ambitions. Many names will be added to Bolton's Hall of Fame and long remembered by the faculty and future graduating classes. Those who used every agency and resource in the school to develop character and intellect will walk in the pleasant ways of life. Thus, because this class has become such an integral part of the history of the school, it can be assured that it will bring credit and fame to the future alma maters of its members. Not only may the class of '40 secure fame and prosperity in the future—but may the class of '40 forever remember Bolton High. yrfe ■'fti t ' 'd cerr rr f eu or.i. 23

Most of us, in the days in which we first entered the portals of Bolton High School formed an ambition to do something worthwhile and be recorded in the history of this school. Now that the time has come for us to leave we are able to recall the past four years and see whether or not our ambition hos been fulfilled. Out of a class in which there was distinction even at first, have risen able school leaders and willing followers. Many honor roll students, Big- gest News prize winners and rally contestants, business managers and editors of school publica- tions, outstanding athletes and campus leaders may be traced to this class. There was much work, but along with this work there has been plenty of fun. Remember? The football games, the basketball games, the cross- country trips, four grand carnivals, the marvelous dances, the lovely campus beauties,—we'd better stop now, we could go on and on remembering all the things we did. Yes, those days are gone forever. Quite often we have been told that we would rue the day when our high school life drew to a close—but, needless to say, those noble people who sc worthily advised us in this matter were ignored in a most convincing manner. We had amb'ticn, but nevertheless, we knew that we would L' a!cd when it was all over and we were out of th:s dump. 22
