SENIOR OFFICERS fLel't to rightj Taking advantage of their position of Seniors, the class officers, Chuck Jones, Henry Evers, Phyllis Allen, Sue Burns, and Cassie Kelly, look at the camera from the Senior Bench. Class of 1949 Seniors! This, then is Mecca, this the last mile. The sums of grade school are down. This year brackets the total, folds the sheet, and tabs it FINIS. There is much to be added in those sums, much to be treasured. The daily entries of knowledge that the mind of each Senior has figuratively put into his pocket to be carried throughout the future years, ready to be reached for and used as life finds need for them. Mem- ories: that dance with Jane, that date with Joe, this friendship, that touchdown, teamwork, ideals, joys, sorrows, days, seasons, page and page and page. All down, but looking fully as much to the future as dwelling on the past. This, for the Seniors that are now, is the rim- rock of all the high school years. To the Senior, more than to any other, comes the realization that high school is not some- thing to be left behind like an outgrown garment, not some- -3 thing just to be remembered. - 'Z The buildings, the halls, the l classrooms, that short-cut worn in the grass, the gatepost so Z thoughtlessly marked with ini- K tials, the trophies of school PAGE 1 0 activities ..... these are left behind for others to use, for without others they are empty. High school is something else, a -maturity, a develop- ment in humanity, a possession that is taken with one. The cap and gown of a Senior is a symbol of faith and service. The social year for the Seniors was one of pleasant culmination. In the rainbow light of tradition was given the Sweetheart Dance. There was a class party. Also traditional was the Senior Play, a presentation to the school and the town this year of The Man on the Stairs . Chuck Jones was class President until February, when Henry Evers, Vice-President, assumed the responsibility. Cassie Kelly became Vice-President. Phyllis Allen was Secretary and Sue Burns was Treasurer. Graduation. Cap and gown. The formal drama. The hand that extends the diploma is the hand of a world extended. The Senior and the World have met. This is the final, drea-med-of, worked for event of the year or of four years. Hail to the World, and to the Sen- iors, Hail! No longer must they strive so hard to attain their goal in life, for they have reached a point where they can go only forward.
