That reality brings us to a little reminiscing and we turn back to the year 1940. We considered ourselves a pretty tough bunch of freshmen that year, but Algebra always took us down a peg or two. Next year came the thrill of becoming a part of Senior High and with it the horrors of initiation. Then came our j unior year and we acquired an air of superiority and wisdom. Now even our toughest senior will have to admit he ' s going to miss the old high school. The Oakes’ games, Ivanhoe, high school romances, the junior-senior proms, the Oompah, the carnival chorus of dancing boys, our annual Christmas pro- gram and semester tests — these are just a few of the memories we shall take with us. But now we must turn to the future. The guid- ance we have received from our parents, our teach- ers, and our eternal Father will aid us in facing the future with courage and wisdom. o BOARD OF EDUCATION A. R. Amphlett President W. M.
