}onewo id We grew together in our first year at Grove- ton. As we look back, we remember the various ways we have worked and developed together. In our minds, we picture the first football team, fighting courageously against heavy odds. We remember our first assemblies, pep rallies, dances, classes, and teachers. This first year has not been an easy one, but the school spirit has become more apparent, pre¬ cedents have been set, and traditions established. This book is an indelible chronicle of our first year, its high points and low, victories and de¬ feats. The staff, by using our mascot, the Tiger, as your guide, would like to present to you the story of our first year at Groveton in this, the first volume of the “Tigerama”. We hope you will pause for a moment and recall the various ways we grew together in our first year at Groveton.

I was bewildered at first as I was brought into the building in a cage. The large gym was packed with cheering students and as I was released I realized that the students were cheering for me, and that I had been elected as their mascot. I could see by the spirit of the stu¬ dents, that second place wouldn’t do for the Groveton Tiger. All the students helped me and to¬ gether we put Groveton on top! Our Tiger finally captured and conquered the Admiral. 4
