It was edited by their English teacher Mrs. Herbert Sandifer, for inclusion in the Yearbook next spring. In the early autumn of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-one, about thirty-two happy boys and girls made their way to the study hall when the nine o’clock bell rang. The first person we saw coming through the door was Mr. Edward Hickey, our new sponsor. Bewildering days followed — filled with buying new books. joining clubs, collecting class dues, becoming used to the w-ays of new teachers and adjusting to the new rules and regulations; then we settled down and were exposed to nine months of classwork which was to make our later years seem like clear sailing. Then we left the name of Green Freshmen and became known as the Silly Sophmores. In our sophmor© year twenty-eight boys and girls arched up to study hall when the familiar bell rang, only this time to see a new' face, Mrs. Gladys Nors-w’orthy, as our sponsor. At midterm of this fast moving year we were tranferred from the study hall to the Home Economics Department where w e spent the rest of the year in comparative isolation. At the close of our sophomore year we took, a trip to Mammoth Cave which was both educational and entertaining. In the year of nineteen hundred and fifty- three, twenty-two boys and girls became known ns Jolly Juniors and again we were rewarded with the big study hall as our home. Early in the year, with Mrs. Rachel Ilutler as our sponsor, we began to plan for our two big events of the year: the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior play. This year went very fast, taken up with new studies, although we had some time for fun. However, the year ended with tragic news for we learned that Mrs. Butler would leave us to teach elsewhere. A trip to Blue Licks a the close of school proved that pleasure can be found close at home. Our Senior year — it has finally arrived! As we look around and count noses we discover that only nineteen of us are here for the last test. It is then that we realize that this is not a world of make believe but a cold, hard world of realities. We discover tfiat if we are to make the -’nub we must work; however, orr Senior year is not all toil and sweat, and there are yet to be many days of joy before that solemn night wh'n were ceive our diplomas and say good-bye to Deming. On our way up the ladder we have had many falls, but now that we are here, they seem very far avray, and we realize that our school trips to B’ue Licks, Coney Island and Mafn-moth Cave were but stepping stones in the years that lead us to Graduation Day and Washington, D. C. S tioK Mewa, £ette% Seniors Practising For Annual Play The Senior Class of Deming High School will present Felicia Metcalf’s three act farce entitled “Take Your Medicine’’ Thursday evening, November 18. Promptly at 8 o’clock the curtains will rise on the first act of the royalty play produced through the courtesy of Heur Publishing Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The scene of the play takes place in a hospital. There Is much excit-ment with the antics of the two hospital roommat s, Dodson and Puckett. Then there Is Jack, the witty orderly, and funny Dovie Finkledink. as well as pretty, young nurses, personable Bill, and attractive Angela. You’ll agree this is an entirely differcnt play as the fun really begins when the regular hospital doctor has to leave town and Bill, a colhge professor with a doctor’s dgree in mathmatlcs, and with $r»0.000 at stake, is called upon to help in several emergencies. First, it is a chicken bone a patient swallows... then appendicitis!

We’ll remember the ''gleams and glooms” which darted Across our faces when we slowly started. At the sound of the bell to the crowded study halls, To study and work within its sacred walls. Our high school days are going fast Our senior year will soon be past; For you, dear friends, have helped us attain our goal. Our appreciation to you, o’er and o’er, be told. n.mm O r C o .4 ”
