Donald Mason leaves and the school heaves a sigh of relief. It never thought he would make it. Velma Sliingleton leaves her friendly smile and good sportsmanship to Nooke” Weaver. Priscilla Hines leaves the Hec Tek. We wonder how they are going to get along without her. Alvin Poling leaves the G.H.S. girls jealous of his beautiful eyes and long lashes. Smith Shroyer leaves as quietly as he has been in the past four years. He wants to keep his leaving a secret. Last but not least! The Senior Class of 1949 leave their deep thanks and appreciation to the faculty, teachers, and all others who have patiently (?) helped us anti befriended us during our short (?) stay of four years in dear old G.H.S. 26
