 One sunny morning twelve years ago, a very excited group of boys and girls were brought to school by their mothers to be given their first glance into the field of knowl- edge. On this day, twelve long years of school and hard work began. The first few years were really great because all that we did was new and exciting, but after the second grade they moved us to the big important building! There, we were supposed to be young ladies and gentlemen, but that idea was soon forgotten in the happy rush to be tulips in the May Fete. In the sixth grade, we started counting the days until graduation. We were PC's then and really enjoyed the extra attention we were getting. Also, the election of King and Queen for the May Fete was an important event that year. Tommy Hudson and Anne Brush were the lucky ones elected, with Elizabeth Smith and Billy Rutherford in second place. The next year brought an entirely new change for us. We were in high school, at last; but with all the teachers, bells, and new faces, we wondered if we'd ever find our way around. We learned fast, and by the end of the year were all set. The eighth grade passed by without any fuss, and at last came Senior High and the ninth grade! That year we began participating in sports and having dances. We also enlarged our class with students from Cherry Lake, which made us even prouder. The tenth grade came and then finally the eleventh grade! This year brought new Juniors from Pinetta and Lee and was packed with selling magazines, presenting our play, Class Ring, and getting our own class rings, which we had waited for so long. Last, but not least, came our Prom, which was the best ever given, naturally . . . Now we've finally reached our goal - we are Seniors. We have struggled and worked hard to achieve this honor and know in our hearts that it was well worth all the work.
