At the time the thought uppermost in our minds was, When we reach the gonl, we shell be seniors. But, we ere sorry to sey, this view seems to have vanished from the minds of several, as they have left the ranks. As we entered our sophomore year, the time arrived for us to decide upon the course of study we intended to pursue for the remainder of our high school careers. The decision reached, we strove in our work to reach the goal wo had set for ourselves . In our junior year wo organized as a class, electing Thelma Eaton, president; Donald Fclstor, vice-president; Gloria Ruduk, secretary; and Donald Folstor, treasurer. We also had the distinct honor of sponsoring the first yearbook, the Galway Piper. Much credit for production of the book was due to our faculty advisors, Miss Coffin and Miss McKnight, the seniors, and those v ho helped finance the project by furnishing advertising. In June of that year was held, under our auspices, the annual senior dance. Entering upon our senior year, replete with a newfound dignity and importance, we elected the following officers: Jennie Szczombrow3ki, president; Dick Kavanaugh, vice-president; Thelma Eaton, secretary-treasurer.

During these four years wo have worked hard (what about the teachers?) v ith the expectation of reaping our reward. Each day heralds the approach of the termination of cur school yoar. Commencement night we shall don our black and white caps and gown3 rnd receive our diplomas. This will be the first stepping stone in cur educational careers. After all is over, each will go his separate way to prepare himself to face a world of turmoil, grateful that his high school training has, in some measure, made the task less difficult. Maybe this class will produce another Twain, or Curie, or Lincoln, whoso origins were not unlike our own. In any case, v hether or not fame places its stamp upon us, we shall do all in our power to realize the aim of our ed-ucation---to produce worthwhile citizens. We do not have to belong to the class of prophets to know that many of our most pleasant, memories v ill be centered around our schoolmates, our staff of teachers, and the days spent at Galway High School.
