O I I O C The great clay, June 3rd, has tinally arrived .... We ot the Gong Statt can now at long last heave a sigh ot reliet as we realize our job is completed. A year ago at election time when this began we were enthusiastic and contident as we spoke ot our Dream Gong .... But that was in the days ot our innocence. Since then we have otten wondered it our dream would ever come true. For the turbulent tribulations came tast and turious up on the third tloor in the little room at the end ot the hall. Pictures had to be taken, retaken, developed: Ads had to be contracted tor and copy had to be written: but above all else money had to be earned. ln our spare time we tound ourselves to be hot dog and cold drink salesmen. But as the year progressed, Fall into Winter and Winter into Spring, we were torced to control our tempers and calm our nerves. Finally the door ot the dark room was locked, picture cutting was tinished and the typists ceased their pounding ..,. Here is your book! We hope you all like it. . . gdpeciaffg flue 3enior4 Editor -in-chiet C Qiwcnncth Neill Business Manager so Bob Bowlin Circulation Manager Dick Stewart Senior Staff i Mary Bulen Evelyn Johnson Pat Carter Richard Cox Mike Bedwell Junior Staff Mildred Poston Joan Fstep Martha Tannenbaum Bill Beckett Photographers Charles Wahlen Don Chamberlain Nick Buskirk Alva Mace Maurie Smock Faculty Advisors J.

our .gzniom ac ieve fo uf om we cleclicafe fhifi 6004. . . .'45 . . .'46 . . .'47 . , .'48 . . .These were the years our Seniors walked these well-lcnown halls. First, we remember them as Freshmen when they timidly entered the strange, uncomprehensible world of the high school. Next they were Sopho- mores who molded a permanent and prominent place in campus lite. Third we saw them as proud Juniors, utterly swept away in an overtlowing tide ot rings, dances, assemblies, plays and teams. Then, at last, we find them as Seniors. This was a year which brought with it, Senior sweaters, vivid, 'Fleeting impres- sions, and the management ot school attairs, the leaving ot which was a sad and wistful farewell. But another lite will soon replace the school dances and school boolcs, a lite accompanied by a new maturity, which will blossom into a greater happiness be cause ot the richness ot those tour years in E.U.l-l.S.
