CLASS ISTORY The senior class of 1950 has now completed its four high school years. Perhaps our knowledge still needs increasing, but our memories have been so many and so pleasant that these years will always be our most treasured. Singing commercials and pinatas made The Freshman Fiesta our start in the school social whirl, and the Sophomore Sock Hop was our second hit in school dances. Then came our hustling- bustling iunior year-football games, directories, candy sales, and the Prom. Enthusiastic advertising created applause for The Buck Rogers Romp, and a talented floor show reigned at Springtime, And then our long-awaited senior year, full of Initiation Day, senior rings, caps and gowns, and hard work. The Mid-Century Revue was our senior dance of renown. But at last the time has come to say goodbye and close our book of memories that can only be opened again with the ll Il words, Remember when . . . . . Grace and poise designate one of the graduation class's most attractive members, Jane Arnold. Although she will not graduate with the class in May, Jane will complete her work this summer and enter Mt. Vernon next fall. Jane endeared herself to the student body during football season as the cheerleader with the phrase, Aw, come on and yell! She served on the Student Council in her iunior year and she was also vice president of her class. The dramatic, athletic and annual clubs have held her school interests, while basket- ball, baseball, and volleyball have been her athletic choices. Kinkaid loses a two-year basketball letterman at the close of school in June. Eg? f JANE ARNOLD NA lovelier lady there' was never seen
