Will you remember our mottoes in school- Or only consider them just another rule ? Since we must separate and find another routine, Sweet memories we'11 keep with highest esteem. Some of us will enter college and be on our way, But others will indulge in the activities of today. Will you choose the road to happiness in life? Or will it be the one with pain andQstrife? But whatever be your choice, dear Seniors of' '42, We wish you success, and hanniness, too! 4 -Lois Harrison el i rfl is

CLASS HISTORY As the curtain rises on the first scene of All This and a Diploma Too, no less than 148 freshmen are seen wandering around the premises ET the overcrowded high-school building on Madison Street in Corinth, Mississippi. On this warm September day in 1958 the actors Qin this case, the studentsl are so afflicted with stage fright that they quake with fear when they encounter Latin, algebra, and other formidable looking fellows. As the act progresses, however, they become more familiar with the various scenes of high-school life, and a few of the boldest in the group actually declare that they enjoy their ex- periences. In addition to the usual round of football and basketball games and fresh- man picnics, the students enjoy Tony Sarg's presentation of his puppet show, Treasure Island, sponsored by the ninth grade English classes. And so the curtain falls on Act One. In 1959 the scene of Act Two changes to a new well equipped building on Fifth Street, which serves as the battlefield for the revolution of fifty-eight boys and sixty-three girls against the tyrant king, Ignorance. When exams are waged mercilessly by instructors, a few who are unable to withstand the fire of the opponent fall by the wayside, while other more valiant ones continue their battle for knowledge. The proverbial greenness characteristic of the freshmen gradually diminishes and far-sighted faculty members begin to have visions of a bright future for these brave Warriors, fighting for knowledge. So it comes to pass that when nine months of struggle against the enemy have passed, the majority of sopho- mores find that they are juniors. In Act Three the drama continues with the inevitable changes in both facul- ty and students. In spite of a strange allergy for examinations which predom- inates among the members of the class, the forty-one boys and fifty-three girls manage to absorb a surprising amount of knowledge. The second semester schedule is improved this year by the addition of two glorious holidays in March, affording time enough for the student body to recu- perate from the annual'epidemic of spring fever. The three weeks preceding April 25 are the most enjoyable of the school tenm. During this time the hidden talents of the juniors are uncovered in the search for program material for the Junior-Senior Banquet, a formal affair which has become an annual event. The night arrives. As a result of weeks of careful planning, the occasion is undoubtedly the high light of the social season,a fit- ting climax to Act Three. As the curtain is lifted for the fourth and final act it reveals a group of only 83 students who, after having experienced stage fright during three years of rehearsing, now look forward with anticipation to the grand finals. Never before have nine months passed so quickly and eventfully. They are months filled to the brim with activities including football, basketball, band, chorus, clubs, and, of course, a limited amount of studying. In September, 1941, the student body became officially organized into a Student Association, with representatives from each class comprising a Student Council. The first project of the council was the publication of a yearbook which is the first to be published by Corinth High School since 1931. Having grown in stature and wisdom, each senior is looking forward to the time when, sheepskin in hand, he will go forth to meet new challenges and compe- titions. The stage is set for the great Drama of Life, in which he will play many parts not included in All This and E Diploma Too. 19
