SENIOR Miss Lane, Senior English -Spoken of with dread and anticipation by freshmen and juniors, with pride and love by seniors, for Miss Lane is a lady with a cause. Her interest and energy in supplying informa- tion to her students never slacks. Prodigi- ously her classes murmur Shakespeare, chew pencils, study assignment sheets. Almost every nook of H. H. S. harbors a group memorizing Milton, analyzing Washington's Farewell Address, quoting Macbeth. The frequency with which Miss Lane is quoted is proof of her rare personality. Her epigrams are as well known as the mem- ory gems she assigns. There is much to do and time travels on Mercury's wings in Sen- ior English. Names are forgotten, inter- ruptions banned, absences avoided and as- signments mastered. A few of us will fin- ally go hence. The rest, like Duncan, will rest ourselves a spell.

SQENICJR Secretary Martin, Vice-President Franklin, and President Borl nd PRESENTI NG OU RSELVES Although we think we have been some punkins during our stay at Hewitt we leave it to our friends, and underclassmen to pass their own opinions of us. At any rate, we sincerely feel that many events of our his- tory will remain in the minds of every l94l graduate. To record all of the proceedings of our high school career would require too much space for we have been an active class-our instructors can say whether these activities were good or bad. We are proud of our classmates whose ideals and skills have made them distin- guished in many fields. We like to think of ourselves as having made a definite con- tribution to H. H. S., and earnestly hope that, as alumni, we may reflect further glory on her. This spring marks the end of our years together as fellow-students. Some of us are old friends from first grade on, while others are comparatively newcomers, but all are united in our desire to glorify our- selves for Hewitt. What we may do, only the future can tell . . . certainly we shall not soon forget these past few years. First, we present our officers, whose selec- tion is a tribute to their popularity. Grady Borland, our President, Hollis Franklin, Vice- President, Reuben Martin, Secretary, have served us well and faithfully.

This stuff is gonna be the death of me yetl These are but a few of the many familiar quotations no senior will have any difficulty identifying, sentences that will be mem- ory gems long after we of the Class of '41 have passed on. Anyone without a pro- found respect for math should be introduced to Bob Ripley. Even the bravest of us wilt before the almighty equation as propound- ed by Miss McAnnally, the friendly mathe- matical wizard. Einstein's theories seem positively childish beside our laborious cal- culations. We labor and sweat through long complicated problems only to have her show us some simple direct solution of the unknown. If all our written efforts were chalked up on Miss McAnnalIy's blackboard they would go an and on like ethereal waves, endless- ly. Keen and tireless, Miss McAnnally drives us impartially in an heroic effort to get in one last lick of math before we go our ways.
