O THE SCHOOL BOARD and to the citizens of Colum- bia, we students of Hickman High School express our appreciation. We realize, as the time for graduation ap- proaches, that our debt to you is great. We know that every property owner in the city is cooperating that we may gain an education. We appreciate the fact that you, the members of the school board, are serving not for fame, fortune, or politics, but for us. Understanding these things, we are impressed with the obligation of fulfilling your trust. As we exchange our caps and gowns for the growing responsibilities of future citizen- ship, we hope to contribute to the welfare and reputation of the community. Having received the benefit of your efforts, we accept the task of building on to greater service and success.

1 At Work TYPING Prom the hunt-and-peck system we soon advance to the touch system by en- rolling in one of the typing classes under the expert rule of Miss Jordan, Mr. Murfin, or Mr. Collins. At the first of the year as we sat behind one of those strange black machines, it seemed almost an improbability to look into the future and imagine our- selves real typists, but after sitting there day after day trying to think that practice makes perfect our lingers gradually loosened and were soon flying over the keys, though still making many disastrous landings. GIRLS' ATHLETICS This year a new sport was added to the girls' gym classes, field hockey. Al- though a few insisted they liked soccer better, it proved very popular with the classes as a whole. Volleyball was greeted with enthusiasm, per- haps because of the relief it afforded from the more stren- uous hockey. During the winter months basketball was played and even though this game requires a great deal of agility and skill, it is well liked by our athletically in- clined girls. Baseball is sched- uled for the warm spring days. PUBLIC SPEAKING The subject is vegetarian- ism, and the students are girding themselves for verbal battle. Joel Dinwiddie rises, addresses the chair CMrs. Williamsl, and makes a breathtaking exposure of the evils resulting from meat- eating. Lowell then takes the HOOK, grinning expansively. After eloquently denouncing vege- tables and loyally defending the status of meat, he retires with flying colors. Yes, everyone is given a chance in Public Speaking: many personalities are de- veloped, and more than one modern Cicero has been dis- covered.
