In September, 1936, thirty-nine students enrolled at Deming High School. We were green, they all said, (as freshm?n always are) but v.e certainly didn’t think so. During the first few weeks several of our group decided not to attend school and w thdrew from our number. The remaining progressed very well and at the end of the term most of them came out on top. Th? next year brought thirty-one Sophomores back to Deming, each eager for knowledge and with a strong determination to achieve success. All went well until the basket ball queen electicn came. We had quite a battle with the Seniors, but at last we were victorious. By the end of the term we felt we had reached the half-way mark in our High School career and for this we were very grateful. By the time we reached our Junior year we had gained two new members, increasing our number to thirty-three, but matrimony lured several of our girls away and one of our boys moved to London, Ky. By the end of the year we had only twenty-eight faithful ones. We entertained the Seniors with a trip to High Bridge and Dix Dam. which was enjoyed by all. In spite of the fact that we had our difficulties and misunderstandings (as all students do) we can truthfully say our Junior year has been the most enjoyable year of our High School career. When we returned this year as Seniors, our number had decreased to twenty-five and before the first six weeks had ended one of our girls withdrew, and of course, got married. Since, several others have married, but we were fortunate enough to have them continue their w ork with us. The last semester we were glad to welcome Adaline Chamberlin to our group. Now that we have about reached the end of the way and attained our goal—we wish to express cur appreciation and gratitude, not only to the faculty but to the student body, for their splendid co-operation.

 We, lhe Seniors of 1940, being very fond of our lower classmates aal the faculty, wish to leave to them a few tokens of remembrance. To the Juniors we leave the Seniors’ room. This room Is a very comfortable one, being the coldest in winter and hottest in summer. To the Sophomorss we leave our “Knack for Getting Away with Things.” With this gift we also leave a little advice: Don’t try to take advantage of this and carry it too far. To the Freshmen we hand our motto, which we use especially during test week, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Craig leaves his seat in the Senior room to “Tag” Bradley but he will keep Norma Jean; Mary Elizabeth leaves her ability for making A’s to Earl Mack; Lucille Cleaver Laves her Jolly disposition to Wanda Lynn; “Gregg” Barnette leaves his basketball playing ability to “Juicy” Orme but prefers to keep “Pat” for himself; Carlton leaves his knowledge cf Physics to Genevieve for further use next year; Clayton and James Earl leave their “executive ability” to anyone who would have it. We leave to Miss Hitt a plan for keeping the Seniors quiet in the Study Hall; to Mr. Johnson we leave all the debate material; with Mr. Hamilton we will leave our unfinished History questions; to Mr. Meaeham we leave our “excellent” Physics grades; the Future Farmers of the Senior Class will leave Mr. Hughes their incomplete projects. We now appoint Mr. Fryman administrator; Mr. Paul Orme and Prof. R. F. Johnson as witnesses. THE SENIOR CLASS OF ’40. 000000000000000000000000000000000S00000'00 000000 000000000
