times. After the play we celebrated our GOOD luck (despite the date) with a party at Patterson’s. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the party. On Friday night, a week before commencement, we gave the Junior-Senior Banquet, using a musical theme. This was followed by a memorable trip to Joyland. In our Junior year we lost several students. Some married, others were called to defend their country and the right for other boys and girls to enjoy such a Junior year as ours. We eagerly looked forward to the time when we would be Seniors, yet we had a vague sense of loss due to the graduation of our friends in the class of '45. In September, we entered H. H. S. for the last time. As Seniors, we went to the left front seats in Assembly, and then were further assigned to Room 12 and Miss VanArsdall and Mrs. Hatchett. At our first class meeting we elected Joe Russell, Betsy Royalty, Eugenia Freeman, and Glendon Sanders as officers. We welcomed into the class, Truett Welch, and Ann Park, in September. Cornell Mobley in November, and Lois White in January. We entered in the various clubs and even had officers in them. In October, we began practice for June Mad, our Senior play. We worked hard on the play, getting the most from play practice. We certainly succeeded in accomplishing both. This year five of the girls gave a party at McClellan's after the performance on November 9. When the basketball season opened, we found Glendon Sanders was Captain of the team, and Joe Ru sell, Donald Scanlon, and Truett Welch were playing first team ball, and Bobby was still beating the floor with his manager's towel with every upset. The war over, Mimi” was given a good cheering section even at the games away from home since we chartered school buses to take us to the contests. When our last game was played at St. X., nearly all the Seniors went and ten of the girls will never forget that trip. The District Tournament followed the next week and Harrodsburg made the finals, losing then to Lawrenceburg by five points. Glendon was named outstanding player in the District, and also made the Second All State Basketball Team. As for intramural games, we came out as champs. In scholastic ability, we astonished the school and teachers by having thirty exemptions, more than all the rest of the school. And even more, there were seven boys on the honor roll at the end of the next term. Were we proud! We were ably represented at the Speech Tournament by Irma Tewmey, Truett Welch, Edmond Burton, Betty Patterson, and Ann Park. Ann won the right to continue to the State Speech Tournament with her speech. On April first, for the last time, the Seniors were children. We dressed in short dresses and overalls and played our way through the day. On the twenty-second of April, Senior privileges started, and our last six weeks were merry, though hectic ones. There were days of deciding on this and that, worry and work on this annual, but finally we were ready for the big day. On the twenty-fourth of May we left Room Twelve and our desks for the final time as students of H. H. S. Thursday, the thirtieth of May. we received our diplomas. It has taken twelve years of work and play, sorrows and joys, but we feel it was worth it. We want to thank our teachers and our school for what are probably the most carefree years of our lives. To them also, and to the students, we want to say Thanks,—we’re going to miss you. —21—
