In her we have more than a teacher of English facts and fiction: More than someone to demand that each year we move up another round in the prosaic old ladder of learning, but one who shows us the way and says, “Let's go” . . . Routine class work is only the starting point from where she leads us. via student council, senior plays, social activities.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS 'jL Capr £ e avers CLASS HISTORY As the 1947 senior class becomes history, we look back over our twelve years of happy association together and reminisce. When we started in grammar school, and yes. even in Jr. High we had no idea of what high school had in store for us as students. As Jr. l's. we were seen wandering around the halls in a complete daze. We thought with dread and fear of our first semester exams. Then as we became more a part of Hewitt, we found that we had duties as •: its to perform. Many of us became meml ers of clubs, took active part in the athletic program and acted like the well informed sophomores that we were. As we look back at our Junior year, we remember, not the cramming for exams and how lessons had to be prepared each night, but rather we remember the fun of being a member of Senior High School— The school dances, the Junior and Senior Banquet, the football games and the parties at Camp Cosby. Yes. these are the things that we will always remember of our High School days. And now still very fresh in our minds and memories is our Senior year; yes. the peak which we have been striving for twelve long years to reach. Oustanding in the events of this year, we find the Hi-Light, the Memento, the Band. Student Council, the G. A. C. house party, our sports, and the realization that this is the last time we as students will be together. Although many of us began our school together, we find that along the way wc have added to our number, and that today we stand not as individuals, but as a class—A Senior Class. Into these years we have crowded a maximum of fun. a little learning, and a lot of living. Betty Little ni SENIOR “_4 tSe Si'r. (SpopwiN- Treasurer junior S.

CLASS POEM The class this year is very fine. have to bray, because it's mine. We sttidied and worked and never played, We tcere always at home and that's ehcrc -we stayed. Of course, yon can tell by our intelligent faces. That all of these grads will really go places. We net'cr copied one anstver on a test. The teachers have never called us pests. Xo marks -were ever found on the walls. Or Kilroy’s picture in the halls. We're fine students, we proudly say, I wish all the others felt that way! PRESIDENT’S SPEEEH As we come to the close of our last year in high school, we realize that the fellowship we had through those twelve short years is over. Only a short time ago we walked into a strange room full of unfamiliar faces to tart our first year in school. The stairs to the twelfth grade were miles and miles high. Together we gradually climbed them This year we came hack to the familiar rooms of Hewitt to finish our last year. Now. looking down the stairs, we only see a few steps. We have learned very much through the patience and hard work of our teachers. They taught us to live and work together and helped us to understand the problems of our everyday life. We have set our goal higher than a high school education. We want to make something of ourselves, to be somebody of whom our parents and teachers can be proud. e could get along by just sitting back and letting other people get ahead, but we want to get on top of the world and the only way to get there is to climb. 1 he time has come for us- to take that step from being kids to being '‘grown-ups.” We should continue our education and get all that life holds in store for us. ( ue might say that the world is so big. the little I could do wouldn’t help make it better.” We will l c helping to make the world a better place in which to live. THEY SAY: LET'S PLAY' • 4 44448 - iiiM • • . .ill A small figure appeared in the door, then seeing the strange faces realized it was in the wrong room again. He was just one of a group of frightened little Junior l's. who didn’t know what High School was all about: Gathered together from schools over the state and country we were just a little in awe of each other as well as of our teachers. Trudging further along the path of education we have finally arrived at our junior year in high school. During the past years we have witnessed with pride, new additions to our ela rooms, such as the clocks, and the inter-communication svstem. Having found our places in the field of sports, social and classroom activities, we proudly take the places vacated by the senior class of this year. Now looking back through the years we renew our pledge of loyalty to Hewitt High School.

It has grown from four pages to six pages with an issue every four weeks. A scholarly paper, representing every group of students, serving the best interests of our school and community has been the constant aim of the entire staff. Among the most interesting issues was the Decemlwr 16th issue, with its eight pages (two extra) fairly bursting with Christmas news, stories, traditions, and even letters to Santa Claus. Much credit is due Mrs. Morrison, our faculty advisor, for her enthusiasm, advice, and for a lot of hard work.

WE SAY THEY'RE TOPS y y ‘THEY SAY IT WITH MUSIC” CLASS PROPHECY Curtis Nichols Think How. or When or Where or what you will. I know you'll think as I do, by and by—that I have the hardest roll to fill as a prophet who has not a prophet’s eye . . . While searching for a way to do this task and finding none, in utter despair. I decided to journey to our national capitol and endeavor to find some wise answer there. On one bright morning in May, I boarded a plane for Washington. Upon reaching the city 1 immediately found my way to the Congressional Library and began searching among the niustv volumes ... In a dark corner of this realm of books I found an old bookcase on which was inscribed these words: The World's Future.” In wonder 1 opened the case and immediately found a book entitled “Pupils and happenings of Hewitt High School.” When I took the book from the shelf, to my surprise, it opened to a page on which was printed. “The Future of the Class of 1947.” This is what I read: Ten years from now Bob Ware and Curly Keith arc big business men.

SNAPSHOTS VALEDICTORIAN €hmU Worrit What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the paragon of animals! In these lines William Shakespeare has presented to the mind's eye the perfect concept of man— the ideal we all strive to achieve. Man often tries to measure success by material things such a fame and wealth, hut this cannot Ik- done. Success is more than these; it is the priceless wealth which the heart, mind and soul possess when a difficulty is conquered; when achievement triumphs over circumstances. Success can be defined a- a power with which every human being has been endowed by the Creator—a force which overcomes every handicap, mental, physical or environmental. Edward W. Young defines success as any honest labor well done, any worthwhile task faithfully accomplished; any reputable profession honorably practiced; loyalty to one's self, to one's life work, to one's friends; vision, optimism, courage to carry on: every conquest fairly won oil life’s field of honor. To lay hold on success one must have a great aim and possess the trait- of character that enable him to persever even unto the end to achieve that goal. It was Robert Browning who said, “alt, hut a man's reach-should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for Man should strive for perfection to reach out toward the infinite, to clasp the hand of God, and with a firm realization of his responsibilities accept the challenges that call out to him. Today as never before great voices can he heard; voices of fear and cowardice, warning of impending disaster; voices of indifference and hatred, urging us to turn our backs on the social changes around us; voices of loyalty, courage and high ideals, that clamour for recognition, for a place in our hearts and lives; that sjKak with great authority. Let us turn a sharpened car to these voices clinging to that which is good and forsaking that which is evil. Fellow classmates, the way of life is not a bed of roses. Great results cannot Ik- achieved at once, and we must Ik- satisfied to advance in life as we do in walking—step by step. We are going to find it necessary to make sacrifices but wc must remember always that nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice; everything may Ik lost in a selfish, self-centered life. Tin- greater our hardships, the greater will Ik our opportunities to show our real selves. As wc enter our new sphere of life, every moment has its wonderful possibilities; every hour is great with destiny. What is your destiny, your opportunity? Your life is what you choose to make it.
