SENIUR SPUNSURS Good Things Must End This year's'Senior Class is outstanding, more outstanding than any other class ever to graduate from Elwood High School. This I was told by someone well informed on the subject-a member of the Senior Class. This manuscript which follows is about the happenings and keynotes of that most successful Senior Class. When we entered high school back in the fall of 1954, everyone knew we were startlingly different. As Freshmen our independence was insurmountable. We were the nightmares of our teachers, we plagued the upperclassmen because of our nonchalanceg in fact, we simply would not play the game, and be merely Freshmen. However, when we egtered our Sophomore year we were thwarted in our attempts. Since we decided our Freshmen tactics would not work, we decided on different ones. We decided to remain meek and quiet, keep under cover as good underclassmen should, and then all of a sudden spring out with something good. Then we sent our students out to make a name for themselves in athletics, music, debate, dramatics, annual, and scholastic achievements. At last, as upperclassmen, we were in our glory. Our class was represented in every phase of school life. But we were still waiting for that best time when we should be Seniors. SENIORS! That is a glamorous name. That meant a lot to us. It enabled us to exercise our authority, to dominate underclassmen, and, in other words, completely to enjoy ourselves. It has taken us three years to reach this goal. Along the way some of our members have left us for distant towns. Some were unable to stand the strain and will graduate next year. But now since we are here, we are not too 'glad that the end of our Senior year is approaching and that there is only one more step for us in high school, graduation. We Seniors feel that we have been amply repaid for the work we have done by the enjoyment that the past three years and this present year has and is giving us. Once more the Seniors reign supreme in athletics. Seven of our members played their last high-school football game this yearg several others went on the high-school hardwood floor for the last time. Likewise, our other members have all participated in making this class active in every angle of school life. Now it all must end as all good things do, so, Juniors, it is up to you. Best of luck and good wishes.
