We conlidently entered high school, our minds crammed with a conglomeration of facts derived from simple books and personal observation. This, of course, was but a reflection of the efforts of others: nevertheless, a small beginning. As we groped our way through the years. occasional sparks were struck by our teachers as they imparted by lesson and exercise more of the knowledge of others, including their own. Our powers of reason, ability, and aptitude were drawn out through planned discipline and instruction until we finally became seniors. Now we will be faced with the sometimes shocking fact that we have scarcely begun to learn. Yes, we have some information, even a little knowledge, but our education is far from complete. The light of learning has shone upon us and we know that our education which actually began in the nursery was advanced only a little by elementary and high school teachers and associations. It will continue whether we will it or not, but will be best nurtured by further vigorous study and proper personal associations. This book is a record of the personalities and events that made up one year in the life of a high school student. Now let us trust that the light of learning will guide us all on our future paths.

TAKING A LOCK AROUND THE SCHCOL Every morning in homeroom, devotions are conducted. Sam Rameas has just finished the Bible reading and is leading Bev- erly Northam, Bruce Taszarek and Dalne McConnell in the Pledge of Allegiance. The students have to be in their homerooms at 8:45 in the morning. At 9:00 o'clock the bell rings signifying that students are to go to their first class. Tests are sometimes given to students in order to see how they stand in the class or in compari- son with other schools. Concen- trating on the Merit Tests are Toni Bryant, john Graham, Bob Barnes, Ray Beeson, and Peggy McConnell.
