C ASS HISTQRY President, Grace Blair, Secretary, Marion Murray, Treasurer, Maurice Gavaghan. The sale of magazines was one of our first projects. Being highly successful it set a pattern for the following tasks. The three highlights of the year giving much pleasure to everyone were: a trip to Washington, the Senior Play, and the Senior Prom. With the school year almost over we began practicing for Class Day. Graduation was held on June 9. The bridge was now completed. During the closing days of our school life we became more and more conscious of the educative influences and the molding forces of high school As we look back over these years minor events fade into the past. Each individual student will remember many of them-some amusing, some serious, and some indescrib- ably ridiculous. As we cross our bridge into the future and society, we are no longer seniors, but young American citizens going out to serve the great democracy in which we live. There will be more bridges to build and more to cross as we face life and its problems.

Y pu Class Officers and Advisers Glancing back a few years it is evident that we have constructed a bridge which cn- alilcs us to link together our high school days with the future and society. We stood irreso- lute in our determination to complete our task successfully, overcoming all obstacles that might arise in our days in high school and tried to maintain a high standard of scholarship in our class work. In September, 1947, when we were enrolled as sophomores and began laying our founda- tion, Graduation Day seemed very remote. Wfe were resolved, however, to make the three years ahead count so that when the great day came we could look with pride on our achieve- ments. During that first year we became a real part of the school, taking our place in The rush hour . . . SENIOR extra curricular activities, such as dramatics, athletics, music, and art. Wie served notice on the rest of the student body that this was a class to he reckoned with. Uur contractors were Miss Nugent and Hrs. Griffith, and with the help of these patient advisers we went into business. Our three sophomore proj- ects: promoting the sale of fruit cakes, a movie benefit and the Tail End Dancei' were successful financially. More important was the realization that we could work together as a group and like it. Our junior year saw us constructing the frame of our project, selling everything from Christmas cards, school stationery to pies and cakes. This year we received our class rings. Knowing that we had to stay on the job, we worked twice as hard to make our .lunior Prom a tremendous success. Entering our senior year we now realized the bridge was nearly completed, although there were still a few finishing touches which had to be worked out. At the first meeting of the Class of 1950 we elected the following officers: President, Benjamin Hannumg Vice- How to drive in llll'ClJ easy lessons . . . ..-.. - .. -
