A play entitled The Arrival of Kitty was sponsored during this school semester, and it was attended by many ho gave credit for it ' s being the most entertaining play iven in several years Speaking of plays, in the ninth •rade, three one-act plays were presented, Everything ' s Reasonable , Girl Shy , and Message Proci Eataan . In i enth grade, three more one-act plays were given, The Haunted Theater , The Trysting Place , and Hillbilly Sue hese three plus the corairencement three-act play, The Calamity Kids , were deemed successful in every aspect. In February ' 46, the eleventh grade sponsored a Valen- tine Party. It seems that after much agitation in gettin r hln s ready, the party was enjoyed by all. The twelfth grade is now looming before us, and we re- ? ° y® as the previous one .a-he highlights here are the beginning of sports, football basketball, and baseball. Along with the football season ' . cmes the crowning of Miss Betty Setzer as Miss Granite superlatives were selected which brought :avoritism from all sides. All in all, our twelve years together have been ones we won ' t and can ' t forget. To our principals, teachers! ancJ friends, we extend our heartiest thanks for helping us eve? lllingly over the difficult spots. We are remembering now the things that happened several years back. We shall tro n remembering what you have done, and the kindnesses you have rendered!
