In Septemer of 1934 the now sophisticated seniors were merely little insignificant fresh- men fgreen in the eyes of the upper class- menj starting on their tour through high school. They selected Frank Adney president, and on October 12 held a class party, be- having as beginners will. By the next year they had outgrown some of their greenness. They elected Madge Gill to guide them, and on October 15 held a party featuring a Major Bowes' amateur pro- gram. In 1956 with Robert Coons as president, Robert Mefford as vice-president, and Bar- bara Cox as secretary-treasurer, they started off the year with a bang fa party, which proved to be the most hilarious of all pre- vious events fand any sincej. On April 9 they strutted their stuff and very success! fully presented Life Begins at Sixteen. To show their unusual generosity they entertained the graduating class on April 25 with a reception in the form of a coronation. At the sight of the dukes and duchesses, lords and ladies, and all that go to make a Coronation, those graduating felt much hoo- ored to be the guests at such an event. And so ended the first three years of the tour of the class of '58 through the high school world.

A rollicking group of students, unaware of the stirring pages they were to write in school history, gathered in the fall at Leb- anon high school to begin their last year of high school life. The activities opened with the senior dinner party on October 29. The candelabrum ceremony was performed by Richard Morris, president, Robert Mefford, vice-president, Betty Goodwin, secretary- treasurer, Donna Siess, Madge Gill, Howard Barnett, Catherine Shepherd, and Frank Ad- ney, After the dinner, which was inter- mingled with short talks, the guests went to the library for the remainder of the program and dancing. The next big day was Homecoming, No- vember 24, with a Man on the Seat program in the afternoon, followed by the annual rabbit supper. The class of 1912 held their twenty-fifth anniversary. Mr. Prentice Atkinson, a member of the class, was prin- cipal speaker in the afternoon. The alumni were defeated by the Tigers in the tilt that preceded the dance for which Henry Mof- fett's nine-piece band from Indianapolis played. Senior class day plans got under way with the announcement that hve dollars would be given to the writer or writers of the best skit for this affair. Class exercises were held at night on May 25. Later the class met for a picnic at Me- morial park, their last informal meeting for their senior year. The Baccalaureate service was held on May 29, with Reverend Blaine Kirkpatrick giving the address. Commencement, May 51, was the grand finale with Doctor R. H. Kent of Franklin college as speaker. He used for his subject Tomorrow Speaks. And so the senior year closed. Witli diplomas in hand, they will scatter hither and thither, some to seek higher learning in higher institutions, some to seek employ- ment-A-and some just to seek and be sought.
