The history which I have prepared may not be particularly impressive. It is impressive though that young Americans gradu¬ ating from high school today are going to be responsible for what is written in the future pages of American history. Four years ago, early one September morning, an eager, joyous group of knowledge-seekers came pouring into James Monroe High School. Some came from the elementary grades, where they had for many months been busily en¬ gaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; a few were fresh and green from a far country; some came from farms where they had been tillers of the soil: and many, from other halls of instruction. These Freshmen were received by several other bands of human beings who were called Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. At first, high school seemed very difficult to these Freshmen, but as time passed they fell in with the customs of high school life, and their strangeness wore away. The election of the Freshman officers was very difficult, as campaigns raged and enthusiasm climbed by the minute. Those finally chosen to lead the class were: Bert O’Toole, President; Alfred Ventura, first Vice-President; Natalie Lancaster, second Vice-President; and Dike Hooe, Secretary-Treasurer. The Freshman Class labored hard and continuously. They accomplished many noble deeds while taking a leading part in all high school activities. After three months of summer vacation, a new era began which can be entitled Sophomore year. During this session many Sophomores gained promi¬ nence among the high school boys and girls. Doris Ann Lindsey was chosen drum-majorette of the James Monroe High School Band. The Junior Varsity Football cheerleaders were composed entirely of Sophomores, which included Doris Pepper, Diana Rowe, Natalie Lancaster, Doris Ann Lindsey, Judy Scott, Margaret Pitts, and Marlene Kendall. However, the day in December, 1946, called Senior Day, put the high- minded Sophomore Class back into its place. Seniors ruled supreme, and forced the poor Sophomores and other lower classmen to step far below their dignity. The poor Sophomores, however, managed to survive and they were able to carry on for the remainder of the term. The Junior year was marked by a great change. The “Class of 49” began to realize what high school could do for them. They had a better understanding of their friends, their teachers, and their surroundings. The officers of the Junior Class were Billy Layton, President: Natalie Lancaster, Vice-President; Barbara Eanes, Secretary; and Joe Scher, Treasurer. During this year, athletics, always a major part of high school life, became one of the greatest interests of the Junior Class. Junior boys and girls who had been trying out for the football, baseball, and basketball, and track team, were now making the squads in large numbers. Other members of the class attended the games to give joyous and eager support to their loyal warriors. Toward the end of the year, the usual Junior-Senior and Senior-Junior Proms took place which provided an enjoyable time. The big day arrived in September, 1948, when the class became eighty full-fledged Seniors, under the capable sponsorship of Mrs. Mildred Chick and Twenty-Four Mrs. Fleda Beable. The following Senior officers were elected: Joe Scher, Presi¬ dent; Edward Cann, Vice-President; Natalie Lancaster, Secretary; Billy Layton, Treasurer. The class motto became I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today! After much discussion, red and white were selected as the class colors and the American Beauty Rose as the class flower. A staff to edit the third publication of the Monroe Echo was chosen. Every¬ one gave this Senior class project his fullest cooperation. Lena Rivers, a three-act play by Mary Jane Holmes, was presented as the annual Senior Play, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Chick and Mr. J. F. Dahlgren. On January 18, 1949, the Seniors found sweet revenge. Yes, it was Senior Day and the poor underclassmen were the unfortunate receivers of pranks mixed in with a day of good fun. A most eventful moment for the Seniors took place on January 20, 1949, when the class attended the Inauguration of President Harry S. Truman, in Washington, D. C. Charles Harding, an outstanding member of the Senior Class, performed a phenomenal feat by making a dollar go farther in 1 949 than George Washington did in the Eighteenth Century, which is miraculous indeed, taking into considera¬ tion the value of the present dollar compared to that of an Eighteenth Century dollar. For this feat Charles gained nation-wide recognition from many leading newspapers, and received many letters of congratulations. One of these letters came from far distant Honolulu. We are proud to have this outstanding athlete as a member of our Graduating Class. Seniors are always outstanding in extra-curricular activities. This year they took the lead in the functioning of high school clubs and organizations. A list of all school clubs and organizations and the number of Seniors enrolled in each are as follows; Commercial Club, thirteen; Science Club, sixteen; Library as¬ sistants, one; Varsity Club, ten; Glee Club, eighteen; French Club, twenty-two; Dramatics Club, thirty-two; Thespian Club, fifteen; Beta Club, six; G. A. A., eleven; Home Economics Club, six: Spotlight, twelve; S. C. A., twelve; Latin Club, four; Literary Magazine, ten; Key Club, seven; Band, four; D. O. Club, four; D. E. Club six; and Industrial Arts News, one. It is interesting to note that of these twenty school organizations twelve were led by members of the James Monroe Senior Class of 1949. We are, indeed, very proud of our accom¬ plishments in this field. Other interesting activities in which the Seniors took part during the year were the mock election, organization of the S. C. A., a radio program, class picnic, debating and public speaking contests, nights at the Youth Canteen, numerous dances and plays, and several sight-seeing tours. We who are graduating today are grateful for our many opportunities. To think of ourselves in comparison with those of other countries it sounds like we are just Climbing a Golden Ladder. We are living in a time of peace and prosperity, and one in which the emphasis is on the education, health, and well being of the individual. May each of us, with the help of God, be guided to do what is right for ourselves and for our loved ones.

To think about the career possibilities of my fellow classmen is still more interesting because it involves each one of us personally. It is our good fortune to leave high school at a time when the world seems to be seething with energy, enthusi- asm, imagination and invention. Our good fortune is still greater because we are graduating in a time of peace and prosperity. I am, nevertheless, pleased with the assignment of presenting the prophecy for the Class of 1949.

Thirty CLASS POEM Unto Whom Praise Is Due All hail to you, most worthy friends, The friends we hold so dear, Most glad are we to welcome you, Most glad to see you here. O listen ye not, ye shades of great poets, From Shakespeare, to Shelley, to Frost, Such ammature verse as this is, I know, Would ne’er by you be endorsed. Right thankful 1 am I have listeners kind. Who remember their own graduation. They ' ll say to themselves, “She’ll do better next time.’’ And win my everlasting appreciation. Our thanks we would give to our School Board, The members so wise and far-seeing. Had it not been for their interest and zeal, These diplomas had ne ' er come into being. Had they not sought anear and afar For teachers of wisdom and learning. Poor ignorant we, untutored, untaught, For the three R’s would still have been yearning. Our parents dear, how can we express How grateful we are, loyal and understanding, There ' re not enough words; it must be in deeds, Right living, loving and giving. Our love and esteem to our wise Superintendent He must, at times, have found us a care But in days pleasant or rough, never once did he shirk— A fine man, honest, inspiring, and fair. To our friends one and all, we wish to say With grateful hearts and deep emotions, All through life, we never shall find Real rivals to equal your true devotion. So we, the class of ' 49, do tribute pay To you whom praise is really due, For without your guidance and helping hand We could never have achieved this great day. Pat Heflin.
