CLASS HISTORY In 1941 we began that long road to so-called perfection, which we have almost reached. During those years we gave our teachers some unusual troubles and were known as the terrors of the grade school. During our eighth year of school life we were joined by sev- eral pupils from Newland School, whom we soon grew to like very much. In 1948 we started out on a completely new experience, the great adventure of entering high school. We had many interests that year, such as sports, F. F. A., F. H. A. and Glee Club. Then came our Sophomore year. By this time we had almost learned the ropes of high school and liked it very much. The highlight of our Sophomore year was the wiener roast, which we gave on the Canal Bank for the seniors. Everyone had loads of fun. And lhen in 1950 we started our Junior year. We were kept very busy during the whole year preparing for the various events we had to take part in. Here are some of the happenings which stand out most clearly in our minds: First is our Junior-Senior Banquet, which we feel was a great success; and of course receiving our class rings was a milestone on that great road of life! There was also the task of pre- senting our Junior Play- which went over fine in spite of the doubts which some of the cast had. Then during the last week of school we took over the Senior privileges. Boy! Did we have fun? This last part we are forced to write with a note of sadness, for it is the ending of our high school life. We have had many interesting experiences, and have learned numerous bits of knowledge for which we can thank our various teachers who have served us so faithfully. After four years of high school, Mrs. Alma Jackson is still our home room teacher; and everyone is glad she has stuck with us. We have enjoyed this year with all our classmates and appreciate the fine banquets and parties given us. But it is time for us to conclude a stretch of our lives of which we are all proud, and continue on life's road learning to do by doing.
