We 'Q CLASS OFFICERS Gordon Meriwether President Shirley Gunter Secretary Devon Cook, Vice President CLASS HISTORY Dear Lanier though fleeting time May bear us far away from e Forever in thy hallowed hal s Each heart will dwell in loyalty Faithful to the Blue and white We will be And before thy shrine of krowledge We will kneel to thee As I clutched my diploma tightly and realized that this was the last time that I would sing our Alma Mater song as a student the memory of the past three years swept before me It seemed only yesterday that my friends and I first walked meekly through the portals of Lanier For a moment I saw us all scurrying around from one wrong room to another trying to avoid the nonchalant upperclassmen I remembered still with terror my first experience in the lunch room the enormous line that extended to the sidewalk the long wait ard after I had at last gotten my lunch the ringing of the bell that made me leave my food untouched and dash to my next class only to find that it was time for recess I recalled briefly the studies the football games the assemblies the rulles and our wonderful Christmas Pageant Next I visualized us as Juniors casting superior glances at the unfortunate rats and meeting our friends of the past year Even now I could not resist the temptation to smile at my recollection of a freshman in one of my study halls who was as startled as I had been when he first heard the public address system For a time we went unconcernedly about our daily pursuits Then came December 7 s as well as fire drills and the R O T C gr and grew and GREW Before I realized it spring had come and an electron of the senior clJss off: ers to lead us during our last year was being held Then before the last scere had faded away another picture wiftly took its place There we were at last seniors that positon we had so coveted for the past two years Early in the year we began studying in earnest and taking a keen interest in school affairs This year was crammed with events bath great and small I Il always remerrber the negro man who climbed the flag pole during the first week of school the group cf students who started a petition to get out early for the Chr stmas holidays These however are only minor occurrences that filled the gaps between the more important things There were victory drives committees senior meetirgs and bandage rolling Suddenly I was startled into the present by a nudge from the boy on my left and brave y courage through each threat ning fear We will hold when we begin Our lives anew Memories of thy shelt ring walls And of thy friendships true LANIER , 1 ' , r ' - ' - I th e.
