Seniors Seniors! Yes, all of us have enjoyed answering to that word this year, and now many of us are regretting that soon we shall leave our school. To the world at large we shall then be only just another graduating class, the Class of '39. When, as FRESHMEN, we entered high school, we were filled with high hopes of making our class one of the best in the history of our school. Since not all of us were interested in the same fields of endeavor, some chose to concentrate on scholastic endeavors, others to enjoy the art of music, and still others to seek laurels in athletics. During our SOPHOMORE year, we broke the icev for the Freshmen at an initia- tion party when we staged a World's Fairf, Even now visions of Marlin Thomas, riding around the speedway on a kiddie car bring smiles to our faces, and surely none of us shall ever forget the look of triumph on junior Schaifner's face as he was proclaimed the victor in a balloon fight with Vernon Carrier. Our JUNIOR year marked the dawn of a new day for us, and we began to assume the responsibilities of being upper-classmen. Some of our stage-minded classmates went dramatic on us, and presented The Eyes of Tlalocf' Although the play was rather difficult to present, our capable stars gave a performance that brought praise from all who saw it. For our Junior Banquet we created A Bit of Sweden so cleverly that our guests thought they were enjoying true Swedish hospitality in the midst of a typical Swedish garden. Now we are about to leave our school. The leadership of Donald Hertz and the cheerful attitude of the entire SENIOR class has made this year an outstanding one in our lives. Filled with parties, festivals, play, and work, the entire year has rushed along until at last graduation day is upon us. Whether we speak little or much about our graduation matters little, for the impressiveness of the occasion has etched itself so clearly upon our minds that it could not easily be erased. Throughout our school days, from the very first to the very last, we have noticed that some in our group have been more outstanding than others, some have excelled us in the things we wanted with all our hearts to dog and yet, with our diplomas in our hands, we shall go forth together once again as freshies in the world we are going to conquer. Our ups and downs may have been many, but our years together have been en- joyable ones. -LEONA MOHR. Page Twenty
