lt Niall? l'l'LOl'i'l0l'l fri HISTIIHY where, in addition to a fine meal, we enter- tained our colleagues. Here our fine E. A. Male Quartet, consisting of members of our class, gave the first of its many perfor- mances. In between these affairs, throughout the year, the members of our class displayed their versatile athletic skill. In intramural sports we took honors in most of the com- petition, while a good part of the basket- ball team was composed of members of our class. With the junior year behind us we eagerly looked forward to our senior year, the crowning point of our journey through E. A. Starting right off, we organized quickly and initiated a year full of activities by presenting a Senior Talent Nite, where, with Bernie De Leeuw as Master of Ceremonies, we showed off our talent. This program, first of its kind, was a big hit. As any senior class can testify, the need for finances is acute and therefore necessi- tates a great deal of activity. Well organized under a capable staff of officers, led by Al Visbeen, president, and under the Ways and Means Committee, we lost no time in con- tinuing our activity. Immediately after the Senior Talent Nite, work was begun on a presentation of the play You Can't Take It Along. This activity was again the first of its kind, but nevertheless was a big hit. Under the capable direction of Mr. Van Til, our class sponsor, two performances were given, both of which were successful. While this activity was going on, the salesmen and salesladies of the class helpeli by selling Christmas cards and school pins. Both of these selling campaigns proved to be successful. Another great responsibility was the publishing of this yearbook. Many hours were devoted to preparation of copy, taking photographs, and the many other details in- volved. However, although at many times the going was tough, those who worked at the job felt a pleasure in doing what they could, feeling that they were part of some- thing lasting and great, which we Seniors can only hope this yearbook is. Toward the end of the year we again took part in the Iunior-Senior Banquet, but this time as guests of honor. Occasions such as these will always be treasured by us as the happy memories of an all too swift jour- ney through E. A, For as we approach graduation and the achievement of one goal in life we certainly feel happyp yet, we cannot help but feel some uncertainty as we leave the walls of E. A. and depart from each other to take our place in that great thing called Life, We cannot know what the future may hold, but knowing that we must move on toward greater goals and stations, we look up to our God who has promised to be with usp to Him we look for guidance.
