£en(6i Cl ass Histolij As the end of our twelve long years of study draws near, we the Seniors, feeling proud to be alive, smile as we plan our graduating exercises and activi- ties for June. Though we smile, we ' still feel the dread of leaving our classes, activities, and our friends whom we have so long enjoyed being around. Through our four years of high school, we have accomplished much in the way of education, social activities, and athletic abilities, but all this could not have been possible without the helpful cooperation of all the teachers and our principal. We owe our respects to Miss Josephine Wolfe without whose help we could not have been so successful in our Senior play “Silas Marner . As we near the end of our high school days, we want to remember: The good times we’ve had at our Junior and Senior proms; the fun we have had in the dif- ferent clubs; the thrills we had when we received our class rings; the friends we have made; the friendly competition we have had in the intermural sports; and last but not least, the melancholy glances of our fellow students as we march- ed on the stage to receive our well deserved diplomas. Our school, for the first time, has been evaluated by a committee of experts in the field of education. In anticipation of this, many improvements have been made, such as painting walls, varnishing woodwork, waxing desks, and giving the rooms a thorough cleaning by the students. Our annual though it was sent out later this year than usual, is something for all the Seniors to be proud of. We have put much time and work into this annual and hope that in later years it will bring happy memories of our school days and of our supervisor, Miss Mullins, who has helped us on the road to suc- cess in all our dealings. Now, we Seniors, who have done all we could to improve our school must leave all the happy memories of our school days behind and venture into the world to make our future, which these twelve years of study have prepared us.
