Secretary, Mary Jane Wiggins, checks her notes, and Christine Hynd, Treasurer, and Carl Sadoti, Historian, look over the Commencement announcements. With the first balmy zephyrs of spring which herald nature to life again, we too, are startled into wakefulness. It is spring now, and we are conscious of the many preparations for commencement. I suppose the majority of us will be relieved, if not hilarious, when we re- ceive our commissions. Commencement! It is well named for even as we pass from the stage, diplomas in hand, we are commencing a new chapter in the Book of Life. This is the most important chapter, for the others have been as a preface. They have only served to set the scene for what remains to be seen. And what remains to be seen is what determines whether we have fulfilled our purpose on earth. But enough of the future. Let's explore the past. What is now only history of our school days could fill many a volume of Mien Kampf. We have struggled through twelve years of edu- cation. That, at least, is an achievement. And here we are in our twelfth year. Seniors! Remember when we first entered as the sophomore class? A whole new field of activity was opened to us in sports, clubs and other extra-curricular phases of high school life. Even then, we were well represented by our class. The Senior C lass Uf I954 We were even doing well in our scholarly activi- ties, for we found ourselves juniors the next year. That is to say we found ourselves in the iunior class. Another year passed quickly and we found ourselves, at long last, seniors! We seemed to be at the top now with no chance for advancement. What effect this had on us, scholastically, I cannot say. Once again we were well represented in sports, clubs, the min- strel, and the all-school play, as well as orches- tra and chorus. Who can forget our Washing- ton tour? It passed without an appreciable scandal, but each of us retain some memories which will not fade with the years. I am not able to recall everything that occurred in the Cairo Hotel those nights-or should I say morn- ings?-so your memories will have to do what my pen cannot. They will have to hold all happy times, or pleasures, of your twelve years in school. BERTRUM G. PRITTS Senior Class Advisor
