U A ND from the glory of the past we get a Xl new future.” With this, the class motto, in mind, the shy, bewildered Freshmen of 1946 advanced to become the proud Seniors of 1950. As Seniors they have dreams of a golden future and memories of tasks well done. A lifetime of memories were packed into four short years. The Freshman Frolic . . Sophomore Hop . . . Junior-Senior Prom . . . Class dues . . . Football and Basket¬ ball games . . . Dances . . . Class Plays . . . Christmas Pageants . . . Baccalaureate . . . and finally a hushed and solemn commencement, have all contrib¬ uted to make four unforgettable years at Em¬ erson High School. The year of 1950 finds them reaching for a star ... a star to guide them through the uncertain future.
