SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August Z3, 1945, thirty-four active Freshmen started into high school. They progressed very well until the latter part of the year when we had a few departures. Four of our fellow classmates, thinking it not worthwhile to become Sophomores, de- parted, each going to new and unknown surroundings. The remaining thirty closed their algebra books with a sigh of relief and skipped lightly into the Sophomore Class. Through the Sophomore year we had a few additions and some departures. At the close of our Sophomore year we had a total loss of eight, who didn't wish to return to become Juniors. The highlights of the school activities came when we had our Junior Play, which was held at the Bristow Gymnasium. Also the Juniors entertained the Senior class with a Banquet at the Helm Hotel. Afterwards we enjoyed a movie at the Capitol Theatre. The most successful year of all was the Senior year. The year in which we were to become more dignified. It was fun looking back over the past, and challenging to think of the future. The Senior class strove for unity and discipline, as well as eventual success As in all classes, we had our good traits and our bad ones, but evidently we came through quite successfully. As Seniors we wanted all our under-classmates to know the secret of our happiness and success. A desperate attempt has been made to co-operate fully with our fellow classmates and our faculty, and to share the good in everyone. On May 6, 1949, the remaining twenty stepped forward to receive their diplomas, each thinking that the four years of high school had passed too soon. We, the Senior Class of 1949, each departed with a hope of meeting again in a brighter tomorrow. Each felt that he was fully prepared to face the responsibilities of adult life. Lucille Owens 12
