Social Qo eAfUiHxiznce 044 i Dear Mother: At last! I’x’e completed my first real year at high school, and our class came through with flying eolors. At the be- ginning of the year we organized the class. Shelley Beard was our president; Linda Taylor, onr vioe-president; Janiee Owens, onr secretary; and Jean Dail, our treasurer. Our big undertaking was a Freshman Dance, and it was so much fun. Tomorrow, we graduate from Junior to Senior High and we’re so excited. If all the years pass as quickly as this one has, we’ll soon be seniors, but that’s too far away to think about. Timidly, Ninth Grade Dear Bill: It would be wonderful if you could be here tonight. The Sophomore Class is having the Coronation Ball. We’re so thrilled ‘cause it’s the first formal dance we’ve ever had. We began decorating the auditorium a week before the dance and it looks just like a real Hawaiian Is- land. Did I tell you who our class officers are? Bobby Brady is vice-president; Eugene Carter is secretary; Evelyn Law- rence is treasurer. They’re really a fine group and onr class has made loads of progress with A1 Smith as president. Happily, Tenth Grade Dear Polly: You don’t know what you missed! I’m so sorry that you couldn’t get home for the Junior-Senior. It was heavenly. The banquet was at the Woman’s Club, and I’ll never forget it. Our class has really come into its own this year. We have as our class officers A1 Smith, president; Chico Burton, vice- president; Alison Hearne, secretary; and Harriet Carr, treasurer. The other day our class rings came, and everyone is so proud of his. Experienced, Eleventh Grade. Dear Mr. Rose: We’ve gotten to that “Commencement Corner” and, strange as it may seem, it’s awfully hard to turn. As you know, A1 Smith has served our class as president for his third con- secutive year and with him we elected Billy Williams, vice-president; Lucile Laughinghouse, secretary; and David Jones, treasurer, to lead our class during its final year at G. H. S. The Senior Play, “Ever Since Eve,” which we presented under the direction of Mrs. Goodman, was one of our most thrilling experiences, and our only hope is that everyone enjoyed it. The annual has been our chief under- taking during the year. With Eugene Carter as editor-in-chief, we have done our best to make it a credit — not only to ourselves — but to the school. Tonight, when we walk across the stage to receive our diplomas, we will experience a feeling of finality which we have never before known. There is little we can say, but may the courses of our individual lives speak for us, for you have molded us into what we are. Sincerely, The Senior Class -■€{ 20

Poe fvi BeftionA. WHEN NAUGHT IS FAIR Pour down Oh, rain! Cleanse the ground again. Wash pure the hot paved roads; Send forth the song of long-limbed toads. Lightning, with snaky flashes; Thunder, with rolling clashes. The elements of the air speak to us. When naught is fair. Emilie DuPree NATURE’S DELIGHT In a bowl I have placed together Remnants of the woods and fields. Thus, during the long winter’s dreariness I still wander with Mother Nature at my side. Linda Taylor THE HIGHWAY The highway stretches out yonder, As far as the eye can see. Someday I wish I could wander. And see what I could see. Mary Anne Keel A CONTRAST The rolling, thundering waves mount high, Their dull gray colors match the sky. The wind is sharp. The spray is cold, The air is damp, The sea is bold. The sea is blue and lies serene, The white-caps like the crowns of queens. The wind is soft, The spray is balm. The air is clean. The sea is calm. Janice Owens FOOTSTEPS Where do they go These footsteps echoing hollowly through the corridors of a city’s streets at night? To warn of some hidden danger? To keep a secret rendezvous? Or, perhaps, to take a father home to a warm, welcoming family! Janice Owens PRAYER Not for the broken bodies When war is over and done; Not for the sightless eyes That ne’er shall see the sun; Not for the broken homes That fill the ravaged land; But for the broken hearts. Dear Lord , we crave Your Hand. Lucile Laughinghouse - 21
