CLASS HISTUHY At Last! Seniors! We've completed that big step! At times it may have seemed a hard and tedious struggle, but recalling with fond memories our years here at Lee, we realize these trials and tribulations have added to each one of us a higher ideal and a greater respect toward our fellow man. Remember that first assembly? What an eventful day! After entering those forbidding doors and gazing down those long, gray corridors, we were quickly ushered into the auditorium, where we were welcomed by Mr. Gilbert, with his parental speech. Mrs. Culp, understanding completely the feelings of us confused sophomores, helped put us at ease. At that moment we decided that they were to be our guiding light throughout our years at Lee. That first year, our enthusiasm centered around the various fields of sports. The football team proved its valor by presenting the school with the Big Ten Trophy and the mythical State Championship. In basketball, we tied for the city title, in track we dominated all the meets. ln addition, our baseball team re- ceived great recognition. After three glorious months of summer vacation, we quietly slipped into our places as Juniors. We were even more thrilled than we had been the year before, for we now realized that we were an established part of the school. That year we actually participated proudly in the school activities, since we our- selves presented the two annual Fashion Shows, both of which were greatly successful. Our Speech Department certainly did excel that year, as did our band and glee club. The sports department, as usual, made us exceptionally proud, but the height of achievement as Juniors was reached when our work for the Junior-Senior Prom proved entirely successful. Finally we reached the height of all our expectations-that year of years had come at last. This term, our football team was again unapproachable-victory reigned throughout the season. The fine season was climaxed by the Lee-Jackson Thanksgiving Game, at which time the Sponsors were presented. While on the subject of football, credit should also be given to our cheerleaders for doing so much to keep up our school spirit. We soon came down out of the clouds and found ourselves working diligently on perfecting the Jubilee and the Vodvil. These both proved to be great successes. During the greatly-welcomed holidays, the student body en- joyed the Christmas Dance at the Roosevelt Hotel. Then we resumed our studies and soon began work on the Senior Play, Meet Me ln St. Louis . During this time the Annual Staff was working at full capacity to achieve an even more out- standing year book. As the days slipped quickly by, we became more conscious of the prospective colleges and vocations into which we hoped to enter. We were then about ready to complete the wonderful years at Lee with graduation and the Junior-Senior Prom. It is hard to express the deep feeling which we all have toward the commencement exercises. Yes, Lee High School! We've come to you, we have worked for you- we have been you and you have become a part of us that will never leave our hearts.
