We, as seniors, should be able to appreciate this parody, which is one teacher's conception of school work. SENIOR OFFICERS joan Robinson, Secretary Robert Birk, President Robert Meyer, Vice-President Hester Ann Beatty, Treasurer SCHOOL WORK IWith apologies to Henry Van Dykel Let me but do my schoolwork day by day, At home-at school-in recitation room, At study desk, in lab'ratory's gloom, Let me but find it in my mind to say, When thoughts of rouge and lipstick lead astray, l'm here to work, it's privilege, not doom, Of all who come, I am the one by whom My grades must all be earned in the right way. Then shall I see it's foolish just to spend The moments looking at my mirrored face, And dabbing rouge and powder into place, And combing my loose hair, times without end. Then I'lI not think, How do I look? Instead, lust how much have I now, inside my head? How much do we have inside our heads? I i I Page twenty-three

SENIORS There is a kind of a magic in the word senior . lt stands for four years of work, achievement, and fun. When you think of the word senior , you think of something dignified and fine. Applied to us, the dignified is some- thing doubtful, for after all, we are human. If we were always dignified, high school would not be such a pleas- ant place. Indeed, when we were freshmen, we thought that our ultimate goal in life was to become all-important seniors. Now that we're here, how do we feel? We found that this isn't the end, but only the beginning of a long road that we must travel. We will set our goal a little higher, and when we reach it, up it will go, for we are satisfied only when we are working toward something. Now, if any freshman should look at us, seeking what he thinks a senior .lr Page twenty-two should be, we hope we will not disap- point him. Even 'tho this has been said many times, it still holds. Fame will not come to all of us, but he who finds his place, no matter how small, and does his job well, is as great as he whom the world hails--not heils. ln finding our place in life, we will find happiness. When we are enjoying our happiness, we must not forget to thank the training and tolerance of our high school. We are proud of our accomplish- ments as a senior class. This year the basketball team had an excellent record in its games and won the South Central Conference Championship. We are really proud of this, especially since three of the star players were seniors. One of the two boys who are the South Central Conference Champions in ten- nis is a senior, also. On the scholastic side, things look bright and shiny. Many pupils on our roll are members of national honorary clubs such as Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, and Thespians. The Triangle is often given first-class rating in nation- al contests, and we are all back of it. Our interests are many and varied, and all our clubs and activities have a spe- cial purpose. Some create good sports- manship, some educate, some strive for entertainment, while others promote good will and friendship among stu- dents.
