SEN IO R REVIEW On Thursday, September 6, we, the class of ’39 started our epochal Senior year. There were 103 effulgent, smiling faces. Dignity, sophistication and the usual antiquated senior traditions were not yet incipient. Even the teachers responded to the tide of good humor that first day. They distributed long white sheets of printed paper. The inevitable schedules which set us to cautiously choosing the part of the curriculum that we desired. Each one secretly promised himself to accomplish great things this year. We were innocuous enough about getting to classes and resuming the “ole text”. We were exuberant when clubs were revived and set into action. We were delighted when elections were held and the new officers installed. All those within our institution of learning became industrious. After a few weeks an insipid atmosphere pervaded. However the monotony of the situation vanished when “The Panther’s Claw” came to the rescue. The cast really terrified the audiences. Next we clamored about basketball season. Would we ever see the first game? Perhaps it was intuition, for who will ever forget such a victorious season. That night at Saxton! And then Bedford! How our hearts leap up when we behold those glorious trophies. Semester exams have a queer way of lurking in the dark and then suddenly leaping out. Some of us were caught. Others graciously took the hurdle. Tragedically or triumphantly we stepped into a second semester destined to go much more quickly than the first. We began to be impressed with the realization that this was our last year. One morning we went down the hall and donned something that felt like a straight jacket. We posed in graduation robes for the year book. A class meeting was held and we selected announcements and name cards. Remember how diligently we made lists of all our doting relatives and wondered what they would give us for graduation. We felt grand and proud when we were measured for our caps and gowns. How suave and composed we were when the Shippensburg play cast was all seniors. Our arrogance at their success was not over emphasized. At last the joyous spring was upon us. And every senior’s fancy lightly turned to thoughts of a new suit. We gossiped and speculated about a trip and a banquet and the dance. Finally we knew that May 19 was the night of all nights. We were adventurers into something new and different at E. H. S. The Junior and Senior proms were to be together. Our curiosity kept us in a stage of anomalous anticipation. Every one had great plans about making whoopee until some pessimist reminded us that this was probably the last dance which the whole class would attend. With the approaching Baccalaureate and Commencement we weren’t quite so frivolous. After all we had spent four years in the place. Formerly we were incorrigible where the last day was concerned. Each one resolving never to look at school again, yet impetuously arriving for a new term when it began. These experiences were over for us. They belonged in what is called a high school career. Our class has ever been the quintessence of the school. Yet we feel confident of a quiescent period when we no longer strut up and down her noble halls. Or even if we fail in this, we have a part of E. H. S. which no one can take away; the friends whom we have made and the knowledge which we grasped. Thus the class of '39 will grow far into the past and be no more. Page twelve
