emor Class Officers Left to Right: Floyd Frazier, Sara Anson Walter Qmlth Barrv Reddlnger As graduates, we look over our shoulders and remember- sometimes ruefully, sometimes fondly: Kindergartenvlwhis was an orientation period. Half-days of all play and no work prepared us for: Elementary Grades-These were years of learning the three R,s and looking forward to the fourth R+-recess. The first four years slipped by in a blur of spelling books and multi- plication tables. ln fifth grade things became more difficult. We received our first introduction to fractions and the spelling words became longer. We wondered if we could survive sixth grade with its added burden of homework. Vile had been introduced to this phenomenon earlier: but now we were on more casual terms with it. Then came the big break-through: Junior High-Wearing a self-conscious grin. we stumbled uncertainlv into seventh grade. Wie were caught up in a whirl of new activities. Arithmetic assumed the scholarly name of mathematics. The burden of added homework was slightly relieved by the inclusion of study halls in our schedules. More often than not. however. studying was put aside during these periods for more exciting things such as test flights of paper airplanes. spit-ball battles. and discussing last week's football game. It took some of us several days to discover that recess had been terminated. Vive looked awkward at our first school dance. but we didn't care. ln eighth grade the girls began to pay more attention to the boys and the boys began to pay more attention to such things as football and basketball.

position of ninth graders. too old to be called Junior High students. but not officially members of the Senior High. we struggled through l.atin and Algebra and laughed when our younger brothers and sisters complained about long division. But the best was yet to come: Senior High-We had arrivedl :Xfter long anticipation. we emerged from our shells as slightly bewildered. slightly con- ceitecl. but very enthusiastic Sophomores. By now homework had become our constant companion. Wle received our first real taste of culture by studying 'Ilulius Caesar and a few of the more fortunate ones got a slight taste of heaven when they attended the Prom. The big event of our Junior year was the ordering of class rings. a large number of which mysteriously turned up on the fingers of our best boy or girl friends. This year we were all eligible to attend the Prom and many of us took advantage of the privilege. ln May we said good-bye to the Seniors and prepared ourselves for: Our Senior YearfThe culmination of twelve years of prep- aration, anticipation. doubt, and hope had been reached. The most exciting and important year of our young lives was upon us, With the beginning of school came the job of preparing our Yearbook. Late in September work was begun on the Class Play, which was unveiled to the public November lelth. This was the first time in many years that the play had been presented in the fall. With the ordering of Commencement invitations came the first realization that we would soon be giving way to another crop of Seniors. Throughout the year several of the girls acquired their diamonds. which made their future plans a certainty. For the rest of us. however, there was the task of deciding what to do after graduation. Should we further our education or seek employment? Before we realized what happened, our Senior year was nearly over. The Prom had been the rnost beautiful event we had ever attended and. in a sense. one of the saddest: for we realized that this would be the last social affair we would ever attend as high school students. And then. with that crowning event of graduation at hand. we were ready for whatever was to follow. The 2l60 days of our education had gone by so quickly that it was hard to believeg yet. we shall always remember them as the happiest and most constructive days of our lives. There- fore, as we join that group known as alumni, we take with us many fond memories and a knowledge that these years have taught us things which we will use in whatever endeavors we attempt. To the underclassmen we say. Good luck. and leave the reminder that this is the most enjoyable period in a person's life. Take the fullest advantage of it and you. like us. will have invaluable memories forever.
