lasses STEP BY STEP, ever forward, each class works toward its final goal -graduation. The seniors, closer to the goal than anyone else and a little conceited over their ac' complishments, and the junior high, excited and awed at the beginning of the race, both in their own way contribute to the success of the whole. Really not too different from their predecesf sors of a quarter century ago, these students seem to have the same degree of foolishness and common sense. And still the classes come, each one larger, and each one eager to be on its way through the unchartered future toward its silver jubilee.

They took a lot of first steps during those five years their first crush, the first time they made Torch, their first prom, the pride of heing State Champs in haskethall. There is so much to rememher . . .the constantly changing view from classroom Win' dows, deep greens and somher grays of rainy autumn, the sharp taste of a hot dog munched while rooting at a foothall game, the eternal miracle of the first snowfall, spring's welcome sunshine filtering through the cherry trees, the rustle of crisp papers, the murmur of voices in study hall. Soon all will he scattered: some to careers, some to college, and some to fight for their country that others after them may stand upon this same landing and look hack upon as many happy memories.
