10 C339 had not returned. They were Jimie Dudley, Pauline Phrton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Billie Landreth, and Walter Scott. To partially fill their places three new students entered our class:'rhressie Garrett, Wayne Gray, and Jackie Whitson. We studied very hard throughout the school months; and when the hat day of school came in the spring of 1916, we were very excited. That was the day we had been looking forward to because we were graduating from Junior High School. Happy, but just a little nervous, we marched into the msium; and after the Seniors were presented with their diplomas, we, the Eighth Graders, were given our diplomas which showed that we were then eligible to become high school students. Returning to Wm. W. Borden High School in the autumn of 1916 seemed just a little diverse. Hany new students entered our class, but only a few had dropped out. The Freshman Class now consisted of: Vivian Mr,- Charles Bierly, Teresa Book, Florence Brownknns Mary Coats, llelets Grim, Patricia. Denny, Anna Dunn, Wilford Faske, Wayne Gray, Elvin Jackson, Vera Jackaon,.Jane Kopp, llarilyn McKinley, Dotty Maddux, Judith Harts, Donna Money, Betty Mull, Isabell MulLRamona Nicholson, Joan Odle, Kenneth Popp, Nettie Watson, Jackie Whitson, and Ottis Wright. Subjects seemed to have made a considerable change also. It was no longer Arithmetic-but Algebra. English still stood unchanged; but with it, Latin. Geography existed no mre, and in its place was World History. New subjects such as Home Economics and Agriculture were undertaken, and during the first week everyone and everything was in a general uproar. But by the end of the first month under the careful guidance and planning of the faculty, subjects and students alike were progressing rapidly. Since we were Freshmen and in high school, we were entitled to two parties a year. The class looked forward to these for their recreation. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, our sponsors, took us on a wiener roast which everyone enjoyed very mch. Next came Christmas, to which we always looked forward with great delight. The privilege of decorating the Christmas tree was given to us, and even the Seniors looked upon this privilege with envy. The only dark cloud in this bright sky of vacation was the thought of the semester examinations, which were to be given as soon as we returned from our gals holiday. On January 1, everyone made a New Year's resolution to study harder and nuke better grades in the year of 19h7. After finishing our semester ems, we felt very relieved, settled down to work for another month, and made plans for our last party of the year. On the night of February 11;, Donna Honey was the hostess st our Valentine's party; but some of us did not get to attend because of the snow and the icy roads.

105 0839 It was a beautiful autumn day in 1938, when we laid within ourselves the first cornerstone for 3 Tower of Knowledge. we were an eager group of young children as we laid our foundation for education in the first year of school. During the following six years we worked diligently and arduously to build this inward Tower of Knowledge with the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic, which seemed very deep to such small students; yet this work was comparatively easy with a few days' rest for programs and entertainments at Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Of course, everyone also enjoyed their summer's vacation each year. when the autumn days came once again in 19kb, we were delighted at the thought of crossing the bridges which spanned the ravines between the grade school and the high school to add to our Tower of Knowledge with new subjects and teachers. The subjects seemed harder to us, but with the help of our teachers the obstacles soon vanished with careful planning and study. The first day at the high school building was a definite thrill. The Assembly Hall seemed massive to us since we had Just come from the small grade school rooms. we went to a different room for each class, and there we met a new teacher for each subject. The rooms were numbered and our principal, Ir. Harry A. Jones, had fully explained to us just where each class was to be held; but we were constantly getting confused and ending in rooms with upper classmen. we looked with awe upon the great Seniors and dreamed of the day when we would be like them. When we reported to our first class on Monday morning, many new faces were present in the group. Nineteen students answered the roll call: Anna Mary Coats, Meleta Grim, Jimmie Dudley, Anna Dunn, Pauline Eurton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Vere Jackson, Billie Landreth,i Judy larre, Marilyn McKinley, Donne Honey, Betty lull, Isabell Mull, Ramona Nicholson, welter Scott, Joann Taylor, and Ottie wright. Those who Joined our class from other schools were as unaccustomed to the new ways of study as our own group; so we helped each other, and, in this way, we soon became friendly classmates. we devoted our thoughts end time to our studies throughout the year so that we would build our Tower of Knowledge higher and higher and add more and more knowledge to our education. Thus we completed our seventh year of schooling and made our tower one year nearer its coupletion. In the fall of 19h5, we started back to school again with fourteen students answering the roll call. Seven classmates from the previous year

105 C339 When spring began to draw nearer, and the trees began to Sway in the warm breezes, we became as full of life as the newly bedded flowers. The days became warmer and warmer; and when the last day of school arrived, we climbed aboard a bus which took us talong with other Junior and Senior High School studenteh to Spring Hill Park for our annual school picnic. Another echool year had come and gone, and our Tower of Knowledge had been built higher; and the ultimate goal seemed closer in view. A; the summer months drew nearer to a. close in the fall of 191:7, the subject of school, new books, and teachers once again reeounded among the hills. The old familiar din of the school bell rang loud and clear as it called us back to school. Happily we trod up the well-wern path to greet the familiar faces of our classmates. . Due to various reasons we found that new of our old acquaintances were not among the group when Mr. Trainer seated ue alphabetically 1n the Assembly Hall as follows: Vivian Balmer, Teresa Book, Bobby Bibb, Florence Brown, Anna Mary Coats, Meleta Grim, Wilford Faeke, Threesie Garrett, Barry Hill, Vera Jackson, Denetri King, Edward Kirchgeeener, Dotty laddux, Judy Marx's, Marilyn McKinley, Donna Money, Rainna Nicholson, Jerry Waterfill, Nettie Watson, and Ottie Wright. During the month of October, before the winter winds began to blow, Hrs. Craig, our sponsor for the year, took us down by the old iron bridge east of Borden for a wiener roast. As the cold north winds blew and snow flurries filled the air, time drew near for a Christmas vacation. Before we were dismissed for this festive holiday, we exchanged gifts endxeeng carols in the Assembly Hall. After an enjoyable week' a vacation we went back to school on New Year's Day. In a few days we were given the semester exam, and everyone's report card showed that he was building his inward Tower of Knowledge in a. broader and more extensive manner. When the birds began to chirp happily in the tree tops, the time was coming for school to be dismissed for another year. The spring days bed been beeutifu1-but not the day we chose to go to Clifty Fells State Park on our annual school picnic. The sky hung heavy with dark clouds, and e chilling breeze blew as we ran through the rain from the bus to a shelter house. Although the day seemed dark and dreary, our gay spirits were not dampened; and everyone enjoyed the trip immensely. During the last week we were given our final exams, which finished one half of our high school education. Throughout the etmer months we worked, plued, and planned for the day when we would enter our beloved school as Jolly Juniors. Going back to school thet bright September day of 19158, we found few new teachers, subjects, or classmates. We were a class of eighteen teen-agers, who were
