The result of the year's work was one ol the most fucce-'sful l-anquets and dances in the history oi the fchool. it Now we have reached our final high-school goal- Senior year and commencement. During this, our last year, we have contributed to the school by our leadership in classes, clubs and student council. Outstanding' athletes and talented members of Glee Cluh, Band and Dramatic groups have come from the class of 1940. The forgotten custom of Class Day with its class song, poem, prophecy, and history has been revived. Incidentally, we are the first regfular class to graduate under the twelve-year plan. We'vc enjoyed our years together and we're grateful now that the added year and ninth month were part of our heritage. lt has prolonged our happy life here. We leave our experiences and testimony of our happiness and ggrutitude as a heritage to those who are to follow.

Why couldn't they wait one more year? That was the universal groan five years ago when we entered high school to find that we had five long years, nine months each, ahead of us. 'lhis seemed a long time to insignificant Freshmen, who then were longing for the time to come when they could become dignified seniors. But now that We have attained this rank, those years seem to have shortened incredibly. Our first two years in high school passed without much recognition. When we finished the ninth grade, we celebrated the end of Junior High and our entrance into Senior High with special exercises. VVe were probably the first and last class to have both seventh and ninth- grade commencement. .l-J. 1 I nf - - - -- f' Elizabeth Forbes Margaret Futrelle Ariane Garrett Harriet Gaylord i U ' Thcfis Garganzzs i Jane Hardee AI Harding Buddy Harrirnyforz The next year, although we were again Freshmen, this time in Senior High, however, we began uor high school record with Jane Hardee as president: Buddy Har- rington as vice-president, and Lucy Nobles as secretary- treasurer. Our first venture was the sponsoring of Elmer, a one-act comedy, given for the purpose of mak- ing money for what we thought was to be our Junior- Senior. The faculty came to the rescue and we saved our money. The marshals from our class were Maribelle Robertson and Spruill Spain, chief marshals, Laura Hearne, Geraldine Taylor, Tommy Langley, Evelyn Jones, Lucy Nobles, Jane Hardee and Hazel Gray Evans.
