-i SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1937, twfnty-one Htudents registered at Deming High School as Freshmen, twelve girls and nine boys. On the first rung cf “The Ladder cf Success,” but in a few weeks three or four of our little group became discouraged and left school. Gradually they kept leaving one by one until at Ihe end of the year we had only fourteen, but they car ried on their work very well. u o Of course It was all new and naturally we were always expecting help from the upper classmen. But the sad part of it w as that we did net always succeed, nevertheless we did not become discouraged for we knew we had to take the bad points as well as the good ones. The next year fourteen entered as Scphcmores. but before the end of the second semester cne of our girls decided she w'ould rather be a housewife than a school student. Later in the summer we learned that another one of our girls hod chosen housekeeping instead cf school. A year has passed with its changes and disillusionments — a year since we wrote the last page cf our history. We, the Seniors, now twelve in number, Wanda Chamberlin having enlisted to make our dozen, are graduating very soon. We will each go into a new world, knowing our paths will not be strewn with roses, yet realizing that the four years of cur high school have not been in vain. So closes our remarkable history. k ' w
