HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS On September 6, 1937, twelve timid souls- Lucille Carlson, Lillian Wolf, Bobby Littleton, Erma Jacobson, Betty Rivey, Bill Billingsley, Russell Parker, Frances Stephenson, Etheline Jacobs, Raymond Kiser, Norris Carlson, and Verna Briggs-were ushered into the institu- tion of learning called Lockridge high school. After a few days trying to keep from blush- ing and giggling when the faculty or upper- classmen spoke to them, they settled down to study, to show their fellow students that they weren't so green after all. After a while, when they learned that high school was not all a dreary grind, they began to take part in other activities such as Wiener roasts, glee club, band, and orchestra. Even some were so bold as to take part in declamatory con- tests. After several months of this, they ad- vanced so rapidly that at the end of the school year most people would have to look twice to distinguish them from some of the more intelligent students in L.H.S. August 29, 1938 found them back in school and when the roll call had been taken, they found that they were minus one student- Norris Carlson-but there was a new member -Bill Watson-who wished to join them, so their number still remained a dozen. This year came with fewer misgivings, because they were by now well acquainted and by their experience of the previous year they had de- cided that high school wasn't so tough after all. More and more they were taking part in new activities until at the end of their second year they were ready to compete with the best of them. August 28, 1939 found them again entering the L.H.S. portals, but now as experienced Juniors. Again the roll was taken and it was found that they lost one-Bobby Little- ton-who later attended Fairfield high school -of their former classmates, but gained two- Bessie Nason and Betty Griffin-making the total thirteen, an increase of one over their former years of high school life. This year they had their chance to show their ability at entertaining when they presented the Jun- ior Play, Aunt Susie Shoots the Works to their parents and friends of the community. At the end of the year they again entertained at the Junior-Senior banquet for the out-going seniors. Last, but not least came their most excit- ing year when they entered the friendly doors to take their last stand in the halls of learn- ing. This year they found that their num- ber was decreased to eleven by the absence of two of the former classmates-Frances Stephenson Hinshaw, who entered the realm of matrimony, and Raymond Kiser who moved to Morning Sun. They found comfort in the fact that it is not quantity, but quality that counts, so they plunged headlong into their school duties, doing their best in all that was expected of them and at last came through with flying colors, secure in the knowledge that they had done their best, but sad in the prospect of leaving their beloved L.H.S.
