Page 19 Completing successfully four years of study in In- dependence High School marks the turning point in the lives of the 170 members of the senior class. The class of '40 stands on the threshold of Tomorrow. Graduation from high school will place some of us in a college or university, eager for more knowledge before we go out to lick the worldg to others it will mean the end of the school of Study and the beginning of the school of Life and Experience. As freshmen in 1937 we were considered a large class and even with the dropping out of those who could not take it we have remained a large class. Sophomores we became in 1938, and the true signif- icance of the reason for a high school education gave us a nudge. Geometry confronted us with all its evil angles, and Latin became more complicated. 1939, we were juniors. Faced with the nearing threat of graduation from this sheltered, carefree life, we were saddened by the thought of being seniors. All through our full, senior year we constantly real- ized the why of going to high school. Now as we ap- proach the commencement, we are no longer saddened at leaving, or afraid of that outer world. We are prepared to take our places as citizens of these United States of America.
