Endowed with courage and Hlled with pride, We are going forth to meet an unknown fate Amidst a world stricken with injustice, greed, and hate. As each goes to seek his place, He'l1 Und there are life's many conflicts to face, But with a will to win and hope for success We'l1 reach our goal and find our happiness. There are those among us who'll always take the lead, And guide their weaker comrades in time of need. But regardless of what each undertakes, Justice and Honor we'll never forsake. We'11 always remain loyal To the ideals of our great nation, Carry on its beliefs and rights With utmost determination, Help maintain it a Democracy, A land of Freedom and Equality. With these principles in mind As we go on through life, We'11 obtain at the journeys end A reward well worth the strife. Mary Porfldo

26 THE RECORD Pat: Yes, she decided to move down there after the gas rationing, and Bob's Ford wouldn't hold together. Dick: I see that you too have finally settled down to a quiet life in the country since they started rationing gas back in '42. Pat: Marjorie Keach and Gloria Smith have written a book for the weaker sex, How To Get Your Man During Leap Year, and hold him in any other year. Dick: Remember Omlah Smith? Well he is teaching Arthur Murray how to dance now. What about Wint Eastman and Pat Holly. Pat: Wint Eastman is chief radio man on a Flying Fortress on which Pat is hostess. Dick: Paul, George, and Bill Magoon are in Ireland revising the Magoon Clan. George is chief clansman, Bill is chief clan politician, and Paul is an admiral in the Irish Navy. Remember how they used to go around calling each other cousin? Pat: Hilda Fadden and Leola Leighton are writing for the True Story Magazines. Dick: Remember Anita Corum? She and Lucien still walk in the upstairs hall because there was no one to will it to. Are you busy now? Pat: No. Dick: Letls go down and see that new picture that's playing here. Pat: You mean Warner Brothers' reproduction of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which Bill Spinelli plays the leading role? Dick: That's the one. Let's go! Patricia Lyon Richardson Lewis. Senior Banquet and Dance After a heated discussion on the pros and cons of a class trip it was finally decided that such an undertaking would be very unpatriotic due to the trans- portation problem because of the curtailment of gas and tires. To take the place of this long anticipated event the class decided that a banquet and dance would be a fairly good substitute. Hence on May 14, two bus loads of exuberant seniors left the Community house for Lyndonville, Vermont, with the boys not particularly worried about the shortage of sugar. We arrived at our destination about six-thirty, and proceeded to acquaint ourselves with the town, fthey call it a town anywayj. After the boys had found out how the elevator ran and made a few more inquiries on the establishment we went on into the dining room where a tur- key dinner was enjoyed by all. At the end of the meal Mr. Glazier was pre- sented with a gift as he is leaving Littleton High. After this, individual toasts were given and a rousing cheer for Miss Cox who was absent at the time. After the dinner we retired to the lobby where dancing took place until twelve. A few hours later the last busload of seniors tired but happy arrived at Littleton.
