Oh! how could we have forgotten the Annual! We started late, but it will be a success. During the hard work of pre- paring our annual, 'we had one of the worst accidents one could have. Our dear school caught on fire, and much of our annual material was distroyed. This slowed our progress until we could order more materials. During this waiting period, we, the class, thought of something to do. As ever, we needed money, so we sponsored a Sweetheart Ball, the l5th of February, which was a great success. The highlights of the year to which everyone largely looks forward with much excitement, are now at hand, namelyg the Parents Banquet, Class Day, Class Night and then ........ GRADUATION! I ! Our four years have been crowded with so many events that it has been hard to select the most important one's. Truly, these have been our historical years which will forever remain in our memories of Dear Ole .T.C.T.S. Historians: Patricia Chisholm Harold Sanders
