5. , . I, ,. V , - , , 1 ' ,rf t X l 'yr 6 - A We leave school and go to Louis' for a little lunch, which usually consists of a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of black or white milk. The ones who are fortunate enough to get a seat are busy doing their home f?j work or talking about their heart throbs. Then to the 8th period, which is the hardest for the upperclassmen, since this is the last class in their day. We sit in class chewing a piece of gum which we received from another classmate, and dreaming of what we are going to do to-night. Gee! that blonde in the last seat is a honey. I Wonder if she has a date Saturday nightf' just as she looks at you and smiles, the bell rings, which brings to a close the eighth period. Then we make a dash for our locker and grab our coats, slamming the door shut. We forgot our English book but after all, tomorrow we have a study hall first period, and surely we can do history, English, math and chemistry in that period. And so the end of a senior's day! For many weeks the orchestra practiced for the Christmas pageant, which was held just before vacation. The orchestra was under the excellent direction of Miss Boyle. The choir, with Miss McQueen as their director, also participated in this wonderful affair. The pagaent was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended it. The senior ball, which was held on january 6th in the boys' gym, was an immense success. Three of this year's senior officers were members of the committee-Sut, Stratton, and Don. There was a great crowd, and the decorations were something out of this world. Among those present were the familiar couples and a great number of fellows who had picked their partners for the night, and, as usual, the stag line. . After safely completing four years of hard work, the seniors can look back happily at the detentions, report cards, little white slips from Offices 2 and 3, and of course the football games, parties, dances, and assemblies. They remember how forlorn they were as freshmen, their sophomore superiority, their rousing good times as juniors. At last they became seniors. They entered most of activities this year because the opportunity would never come again. We are sure that we always shall remember this excellent class in future years, and in turn we know that they will never forget the high school, the teachers, and the students. With regret we close the door on this year's senior class. D. Hixon, H. Baggen, M. Sutter, S. Haskell.

Vin- cent. -1 ,A v. allowing The Seniors brouglz Their az F you believe there is a manpower shortage, girls, just walk down XY!olfs' Alley first period. It is located outside the boys' gym. There, seated on the windows, you will hnd many boys talking about their last night date or the homework they did not do. Then, take a stroll past the girls' locker room upstairs, and you will hear the girls chattering about their soldier, sailor, or marine. Here comes Margery Sutter, the cute vice-president and chario- teer of the cheerleaders. Sur intends to .go to Wellesley and would like to study fashion or art. Walkiiug out of the teachers' room we see Miss Barth, the popular senior adviser, accompanied by Mrs. Vincent and Mrs. Anderson, the assistant ad- visers. If we walk up to the third floor we might meet Mr. Lints, another of the assistant advisers. There goes the bell for the first period, and if we peek into Room 79 we might see Stratton Has- kell, the capable president of this year's Senior Class. Stratton plays the drums in the high school band and intends to make music his career. He also is a great bowling enthusiast. We managed to get through the first three periods, and in home room 49 we can hear the class secretary, Harry Baggen, explaining the cause for not doing his home work. Harry has no plans for the future as he intends to enter one of the services. As the bell announces the seventh period we wander into the band box, where we see the class treasurer, Don Hixon, playing the trumpet in the high school band. Dons hobbies are music and art. He hopes to enter Colgate and would like to major in advertising. You might have seen one of his pictures posted in the halls. ,....l....g4.....-
