x I 1- el A ,lg wE'RE seniors! Only a few months ago, we were thrilling to the fact 3 that we were now on the top rung of the educational ladder so far as rs, l . . . . , xg i ,4 high school goes. We were bubbling over with excitement, for we ex- L'-' pected this year to be one of the most momentous in our short lives. This was to be our fourth year of jolly good comradeship fwe knew everybody - and everythingl and at the end of this ponderous year, we were to emerge ccmpletely, miraculously, changed people. People who could handle any situation and comc out on top! . . . Such were our thoughts. Our four years together have been happy ones--perhaps filled with more jest and youthful jollity than we shall experience again. As freshies we wandered aimlessly through the corridors, hopefully and hopelessly searching for Room 216 on the first fioor. Then our sophomore year rolled around. We were no longer to be shunned by the haughty upperclassmen as stupid freshmen who knew nothing but didn't know it. We really asserted ourselves as juniors, for our pep rally went quite smoothly- until the motion-picture projector gave us a surprise blackout . The Soiree we sponsored was one of the finest ever, and it was there that we lived in a fairyland of unreality. Of course, we had our ups and downs as any class will. We went through the experiences of oral reports and semester exams, came out fairly well-and promptly forgot the ordeals. We yelled louder and jumped higher at football and basketball games than any of our fellow-classes. Our purse-strings wore out from too constant use. Yes, these were our high-school days. Tomorrow? Tomorrow we go forth to face the uncertainty of a future in a changing world. The gate which leads into the realms of the vast, unexplored future is open to us. Once we pass through it, we can go no farther as a body, but each individual must fill his own tiny place in the great pattern of tomorrow's world. Always he will remember an alma mater which has helped mold and shape him into the person he is to be. Zl
