Senior Class History One calm day in that autumn month of September in the year nineteen hun- dred forty, forty-three lads and lassies boarded the train named Diploma or Bust. The first stop we made was at room one, where our conductor was Mrs. Reidenbach, Through much struggle and excitement we were promoted to the second grade. We were met by Mrs. Carey here. Our next step was the third grade, taught by Mrs. Smith. The high light of the fourth grade was an operetta entitled, i'Aunt Drucilla's Garden, presented by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. After struggling through the fifth and sixth grades we boarded the train again for a trip to the two Junior high grades. Our teachers here were, Mrs. Stose and Mr. Edwards. Our next step was to the Freshman Class, where we were greeted by an initiation. We had several parties this year sponsored by Mr. Smith. In our second year of high school we initiated the Freshmen. Mr. Sawmiller was our sponsor. Next came the all important Junior year. First we ordered our class rings. We alternated serving at the ball games with the Seniors. We selected the cast for our class play, which was the first play that had been presented for several years The name of our play was, Three Blind Dates. The last big event of our Junior year was the presentation of the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was A Starlight Garden. On September ll, 1950, twenty-three students moved to the side of study hall labeled, Seniors. After eleven long years we are near the town of Diploma. This has been a busy year but many things are yet to come. We are looking forward to the Senior Class Play, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and to the Senior Class Trip. Our train is almost to the last station, then we will be boarding another train, named, 'lLife. We hope it to be as successful as our high school career. CLASS MOTTO: The way is there, ours is but to follow CLASS FLOWER: American Beauty Rose CLASS COLORS: Aqua and Silver 18

Earl Black has been appointed Civilian Governor of conquered Redland and is now engaged in writing an autobiography. Velma H. and Barbara G. have settled down and married but have both bee come famous in their own right. Velma was voted Mother of the Year last year and Barbara won the distinction this year, and both have been featured in Life Magazine. Well, it was almost time for me to leave and the prisoner's assembly bell had just rung so I thought I would get an early start back to 1951 and maybe stop off to see who the 1958 Rose Bowl game winner is. With a whirl I am headed back for the present. On the way back, I heard a whine which is the last bullet fired in the Korean War. I can now report to the poll that the Class of 1951 has a very bright future, and I wish them all the luck as they leave Convoy to meet that future. ----Bob Edwards 17
