PRIDE UP THE BIB TIJP We-the pride of the Harding Big Top, the class of '49--chose as our motto, Today we follow, tomorrow we lead, which to circus people means. You must gain experience in the sideshows before you can perform under the Big Top. We have kept this in mind as we journeyed through our four years of circus life, and have learned from experience that we must be good followers in order to become good leaders in the future. Four years ago, as freshmen at Central, Vernon, and Edison, our little Tops, we began making history. Under the Green and White we followed Tom Taylor, Dick Roseberry. Erma Morse, and Charles Lister. The Red and Gray chose as their lead- ers Roger Andrews, Dick Thomas, Nancy Pennisten, and Tom Ballinger. No ninth grade officers were elected at Edison. We were engaged in friendly competition throughout the year, both in athletics and other scholastic activities. Then Central and Vernon freshmen united under the Big Top and chose as their leaders Tom Taylor, Ray Phillians, Erma Morse, and Leona Stineman. Meanwhile Dick Clark led the Edison sophomores with Sam Green, Patsy Duckworth, and Ruth Emerson to help him out. Together we chose the red rose as our class flower and our colors wine and white. With Roger Pendleton as headman, assisted by Chuck Ulrich, Nancy Pennisten, and Helen Moore, we began our unforgettable iunior year. We were no longer the youngsters and we felt much more important. We worked very hard with our fellow classmates and as a result our next-to-last year was a very profitable one. We were very active in athletics and our play Shiny Nose was a huge success and a tribute to the splendid cast and their director, Mr. Chase. Our fellow classmen at Edison stayed right in the picture with Clyde Seedle as president: Ronald Cox, vice president: Elfrieda Rech, secretary: and Dorothie Clunk, treasurer.

HU UH SIJIIIETY ..... ewar ing ulnerior f9 er ormance Every circus has its leature perlormers and the Harding Big-Top is no exception. It was our good lortune to have an abundance ot talent among our troupe in I949. Consequently, it was a very difficult task to select the above lorty-six students as mem- bers of this honorary society. They have been iound to possess outstanding traits ol scholarship, character, leadership, and service by both the faculty and their lellow classmates. We sincerely believe that this group is aware ol the great trust and faith placed in them, and that they will meet their obligation to society by putting into practice the many virtues lor which they have been so justly commended.

Before we realized it our long awaited senior year began. At last Harding juniors and Edison juniors were united into one great class of seniors - the seventy- seventh graduating class ot Marion. lt's been a terrific year. lt's been di1Cferent,tull of lun and activities. We followed our leaders Tom Taylor, Cecil Brown, Leona Stine- man, and Roger Pendleton through to the end. The news about the halls of Harding was brought to us each Tuesday morning by the Herald Editors, Nancy Pennisten and Nancy Nussbaum, assisted by the staff to whom we give our thanks. The Student Council, with Diclc Thomas as president, sponsored a successful school dance, The President's Ball. Our senior committees worlced hard and did a tine iob with the preparation oi graduation. Our queen, Dorothie Clunlc, reigned supreme over our second annual Home- coming Game. She and her attendants, Helen Moore, Carolyn Creager, Betty Stanley, and Harriet Monnette, were proudly acclaimed by our circus family and loyal tons. During our high school days we, as a whole, toolc an active interest in our many clubs and sport's activities. We also used our talents to good advantage in the choir, band, and orchestra. . . We sincerely believe that we have been a credit to Harding High School and we lcnow that the knowledge we have received here will be invaluable in years to come. Yes, Today we follow, tomorrow we lead. We wish to extend our hearty congratulations to Valedictorian, Erma Morse, and Salutatorian, Nancy Nussbaum, lor their superior scholastic achievements. We also highly commend the runner-ups, Barbara Oiler, Helen Moore, Paul Menzer, and Betty Parsons for their outstanding eiilorts. We hope that the same sincere desire tor per- fection and zeal for knowledge that you have displayed in high school will also characterize your lives in later years.
