Page Two THE BULLDOG Senior Issue The Bulldog Staff Henderson High School, 1942- ' 43 Editor-in-Chief Billy Daniel Managing Editor Ed Bagwell News Editor Florence Glenn Business Manager Joe Mayo ADViaiTISING STAFF Jo Freeman Jensen Yow Jessie Hamlett reporters Helen Lowby Cassie Ayscue Charlotte Hobgood Blanche Adams Billy Hight Faculty Span., Miss Eleanor Green Technical Adviser Mr. M. L. Finch Adios, Hasta Manana Once more, the bond which ties each senior class to Henderson High School is to be severed by graduation. Our high school life, so enjoyed by all, has reached its termination. No longer may we tread the halls and enter the classrooms in pursuit of knowledge. Gone are the days of work and play here. We have climbed another rung in the ladder of life. This senior year has been the cli- max of the years of our school ex- perience. We are now on the highest peak of our life and from that peak we look back on past years and with a sigh, long to be able to live them again. Yet, from that peak, too, we gaze toward the future in hopeful anticipation of the years to come. We cannot bring back the past and we cannot escape the future, hence, we must live for the future; that it may be promising, that it may be worthy of the training we have received here. As we say farewell, our hearts swell up within us, and yet we look ahead with a smile. We must leave, but you are left to take our places. May you carry on, befitting the traditions of Henderson High School. May you act well your part on the stage of life. We will watch your growth and the t i ' owth of our school even though we may no longer be a part of it. So, with the greatest hope for your success and a cherry Good Luck we say, Adios, hasta manana. (Goodby, until to- morrow.) Where Do We Go From Here, Boys? The foremost question in our minds at this period of advancement is, After graduation, what then? It is perfectly in line with human nature that this question should come up, for all of us have the fundamental desire to plan our future, that we may attain the highest and st which the wokI — ' — ■ Our generation has before it pro- bably the most difficult and compli- cated world which any generation has had to face. In making our decisions, we will have to take into considera- tion circumstances and situations which have never before arisen. We must be broad-minded, open-minded, and clear-headed as we face the mor- row. Never before have such diffi- cult problems and enigmas of a world-wide scope rested upon the shoulders of a generation as they do upon ours. The planning of a lasting peace, the bringing together of labor and capitalism, the paying of our na- tional debt, the determining of Amer- ica ' s future position in world affairs are a few of the many which appear on the horizon. But what of the immediate future? As to that, there will be three main classes into which most of us will fall: those who will become, if you iiardon the expression, liberal arts business men, such as lawyers, educators, and the like; those who will become technicians in a broad sense of the word, engineers, artists, or musicians; and those who will re- main in the military field. Into the first of these classes will fall fewer of our members than of any preceding generation, because of our war-time jioint of view. We can ' t help feeling a preference for posi- tions which have been emphasized as necessary for a better world and a better America. However, it is well that some of us adopt the customary procedure of taking over the father ' s business and becoming a sedate and calm partisan of life as usual, be- cause those of us who take the glit- tering positions of war-time impor- tance will need to have one foot kept on the ground. Those technical posi- tions are necessary also. The improve- ment of our world depends entirely upon those engineers, scientists, and artists which our generation will pro- duce. We must strive to forge ahead into a better life. It is inevitable that as we pass through a compulsory military train- ing period as most of us will, some will find the life of the army or the navy most suitable for their future. The professional fighters are al- ways needed in this world of continual strife and tribulation. It is a good lil ' e, if you like it. So keep your world down to earth with every decision carefully made, if you feel that ' s your place in life. Be a rock upon which all may find assurance. But if you ' d rather be a go-getter, lift your world to the skies. Improve, enrich it, bet- ter it in every way, if that ' s your goal in life. Or keep a watchful eye for those who would destroy us. Be the man behind the gun, if that ' s your place. History of Class of 1943 ' ' EVSHMAN YEAR members, the largest class eve-.- to en- ' ' er high school up to this time, came in the portals of Henderson High School, we were probably the green- c.--;t of the green. It took us a while to get used to the many things and the upper class- men, particularly the sophomores who laughed up their sleeves at our futile efforts to open the new, baffling lockers. But we soon became used to things and settled down to some hard, steady work. The days flew by and with each passing day we realized how fortunate we were in having such wonderful opportunities, and we real- ly enjoyed our work. We were disap- pointed when we learned that we wouldn ' t be able to have a freshman play, but that was soon forgotten with the coming days of spring. The summer vacation was soon here and we realized that a year of high school had flown by. SOPHOMORE YEAR Officers President jcll Wester Vice-President rjstLLY Teagub Secretary Ed BAGVPBajL Treasurer Billy K. Slack When the fall of 1940 rolled around we returned to ye old high school, ery proud of the fact that we were the mighty sophomore class and tried to act dignified in the face of the other students, pai-ticularly the in- ccming freshmen. As sophomores we thought we knew it all but soon realized that we didn ' t. Being more familiar with the faculty and school than we had been the preceding year, we soon fell into the motion of our glorious second year in high school. Soon the time rolled by for our sophomore play and we were all very excited over this fact because it would be our first production. The play Ann of Green Gables was selected by our class to be given, and Flor- ence Glenn was chosen to play the leading role. With the aid of excellent faculty coaching and admirable work cn the part of the cast, we turned in a wonderful performance. Soon spring rolled around again and to many sophomores a very important event. Twelve couples were chosen by the junior class to serve as waiters and v aitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. This closed our sophomore year, and we all went away happy at the thought of summer vacation and returning next year to be sophisti- cated juniors. JUNIOR YEAR Officers President Grady Tharrington Vice-President Florence Glenn Secretary Weezie Teiseb Treasurer Ed Bagwell When we returned to school for our third year we were beginning to rea- lize just how important ouq: high school education was.
