SENIOR DIARY FRESHMAN Our first year of high school has gone by already, but I well remember when we were seventy worried freshmen, faithfully bringing our little worms to the initiation. After the rough and rugged treatment, though, we had real re- freshments, good dancing, and swell games. The return party was a dance. Following tradition, one bright day we cleaned the HL, and it could be seen for miles around. And as usual, it rained a few days later. Many of our girls sang in the Choir or were in the Drum Corps. The boys participated in sports. SOPHOMORE What a year this has been! VVe surprised the freshmen when, instead of an 1n1t1at1on, we gave a dance with games and refreshments. Their return party was fun too. ' We gave the annual sophomore dance as a Ration Dance. The gym was patriotically decorated, and ration cards were given as programs. A large percentage of sophomores participated in band, choir, orchestra, boys' and girls' sports, and helped present Talent Night. JUNIOR VVhat a year! VVe hit liigh in everything we did, and we really made a fine showing. VVe had Friday Nite Dances galore, These were grand successes. XVe sold magazine subscriptions and made good. The Newspaper Bride, our junior extravaganza, was given on May 5. It was an unusual success. In the spring we gave the annual junior Prom, the theme being King Neptune's Gardenfl Vile danced to wonderful music in a truly aquatic atmos- phere. Our class has been well represented in all activities. - SENIGR What, has a year passed already when We had just, or so it seemed, final- ly obtained the title of seniors? I The first part of the year everyone was out yelling or biting finger nails at football games. Most of our boys were on the team. Our formal Christmas Ball, the first of its kind, was a great success. So the bovs could show off, we had a whiskereeno contest. Sadie Hawk- , ' - 1 ' xv ins Day ended the contest, and the dance that evening was the grand finale. It was all in western style. Our senior play, Ever Since Eve, was presented on April l9 and. 20, to huge audiences at both performances. The play was wonderful and definitely a success. Senior Ditch Dav popped up in the middle of much discussion and curios- itv. It surprised everyone except the Seniors, who spent the day roasting, swim- ming, eating, or sleeping. Some of our boys are in theservice, and. we are very proud of them. lVe are only sorry that they couldn't have been with us all four years. Now donlt you think we have been worthy seniors?
