Qfcbtafzq As the shades fall over the fifty-fifth year in the history of Lowe's Grove School another senior class leaves the narrow channel of education and goes forth into the broad ocean of life. We take with us memories of pleasant times which the passing years can never dim. We've had many trials and hardships and also many gains. And now as we are about to step forth into life we are happy and yet, sad as we look back and think about the members who entered school with us that are gone. Some of these members stopped school, others transferred to other schools, but death took one of our members. This member was Wilma Copeland, a girl who always smiled and had a word of cheer for everyone. We entered high school in the fall of 1947 as a group of thirty-eight. Under the guidance of our homeroom teacher and advisor, Mrs. Morgan, we slowly became accustomed to the many hardships of high school life. During the year we had a magazine drive. The proceeds went toward the purchase of a movie projector. Our sophomore vear was a happy one. We began to settle down and take our school work seriously. The main event of the years was ordering our class rings. During our junior year we gave a play, The Crazy Smith Family, to raise money for the junior-Senior Banquet. With the help of Mr. Good- win, Mrs. Powers, and Miss Olive, the play and the banquet were a suc- cess. One of the greatest thrills of the year was receiving our class rings which we had ordered during our sophomore year. As we enter our final year of school our group is a small but cooperative one. Our first project of the year was ordering our invitations and calling cards. Soon after, we had the Hallowelen Carnival which, with the aid of the students, teachers, and P.T.A. members was a big success. We also made plans for the senior play. And now as we are about to take that final step toward entering the door of adult life, we remember our motto, today we follow, tomorrow we lead. Historian, Shirley Russell l4

To whom it may concern: We, the class of 1951, being about to pass out of this sphere of our education and in full possession of crammed minds and well-trained memories, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from ones who have gone before. Section I Item. 1. To Mr. Auman, our principal, goes the fondest memories of a class whose companionship we are sure he is to miss in the years to come. Item 2. To our beloved faculty, we give and be- queath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long night wondering if this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her mathematics in the morning classes, or if the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. We also leave to them all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them, but we trust they will End some use of these bits either for their own personal enlightenment or for the education of classes to come after us. Section II Item 1. To the Juniors, we will our qualities of sophistication and leadership that might help them uphold their new positions as seniors. We also leave them all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as compose the ma- jority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them firmly next year through the gates of Commence- ment, that they may not share in the humiliation that has been ours at not being able to hold our men folks -as the women of the world would put it. Item 2. To our beloved school we bequeath our undying love and most loyal devotion. How can we ever forget the eventful years in your halls and classrooms. We shall ever cherish these glori- ous memories. Section III The following may seem but trifling bequests but they are things we have treasured and hope they will be continual reminders of our generous hearts and accepted as valuable assets to the lucky people who receive them: Item 1.
