AS TIME GOES BY 'Our class and George Sch l oo worked mutual changes upon each other, to greater and lesser degrees du ' , ring four years. In '42 we were reverent freshmen. Our class was filled with eager beavers. We enjoyed life. but took our picnics and parties and one another quite seriously. Miss Bates advised us, and our teachers watched us with ' mixed hope and misgiving. In September '43 our 1 c ass returned from vacation almost double in size and exuberance. We went our vario us ways in different sequences, searching for the unattainable, i.e., straight S's We vie d . we the new freshmen tolerantly, putting their mistakes down t o extreme youth. Experienced pessimists, we were certain no class as ungovernable as ours had ever existed. As juniors more of b us egan to realize the crises and emergencies of the outside world which swirled ab out the boundaries of our George School citadel. We started then the long session f s o college planning and worr Our meetings assumed a bl y. sem ance of parliamentary order, which Mr. McMillen hopefully fostered Of cour th . se ere was the junior play, the cast of which wished itself in reality Incognito Finally came junior-senior Week- end. We ambitiously decorated the dining roorri with vines and nets and sparkling fish, and made hemlock chains for the seniors. We watched graduation earnestly, looking ahead to next year, when we would be the ones. In the fall of '45 we found what 't ' 1 is to be a senior, to have privileges, and to know as much, if not more, than any hu ' ' fac d ' man being. With assurance e the problems national and ' t we in ernational of our post-war world. However, we were somewhat taken aback by the l ack of enthusiasm among colleges, which did not seem to clamor for our applications. Our senior year has been a lively one, lengthy and frequent quarantines withal. Blithe Spirit redeemed our junior effort, and class parties turned out successfully Now it is the time for us to glance backward, and then look aheadg to remember and anticipateg to recall the individual incidents that made up school life, and to recognize the opportunities and challenges of the future.
