605 The graduation of forty seven seniors rep resents more than a mere ceremony Il IS the end of a long road and the result of twelve years of work play and development As we look back down this road we have traveled we see the progress of a few tottervng tots develop Into the stately march to the strains of Pomp and Clrcumstance The first time any member of our class gained distinction was probably In kinder garten when the principal noticed that Joe Morgan was tled In his chalr during rest period The teacher when asked why replied that this seemed to be the only way that anyone could get any rest The first few years passed rather quickly and soon we were at the top of the ladder the slxth grade Belng a sixth grader is per haps the most Important thtng at that stage of life The first Important thang we did was to elect Jlm Ferns malor of the safety patrol and Betty and Anlta Thomas captains We had been adding a few members to the class each year but Joan Howard topped them all The boys dldnt stop whistling until two or three of them were sent to the cloak room This must have annoyed the glrls f the class for when Ron Fertrck arrived about two weeks later the glrls whispered and sighed all morning The next fall found our motley crew pac Ing the halls of the high school In awe lt was then that we met and made friends with our neighbor schools Falrfax and Plalnvllle T gether as one class ll took us a few weeks to learn how to work locker combinations and avoid being tardy The big thing to the boys that year was IUDIOY hlgh basketball Only five made the team and their prestige increased mmedlately As l remember post office a d spln the milk bottle were popular games of the day Most of us went from the seventh to eighth grade In one year We were getting more lm portant all the time Slnce we were the oldest In the lunlor hugh the boys had the athletics monopollzed Elmer Simons team upset Ron ald Klemme s team to wun the intramural med als and the lunlor hugh team won eight and lost one game ln June we held our graduation exercises complete with punch and cookies When autumn came we were at last In hlgh school The older boys began to take an In terest In some of the freshmen gurls This turn of events pleased them no end As a matter of fact two girls Joan Howard and Betty Thomas had the honor to attend the Prom and that IS the most Important thing In the world lThose who have never been a freshman girl might not understand thlsl Since we had two more boys than girls an the class we held a democratic election and elected all boy officers They were Elmer Sim ons Bull Hopewell Jim Ferns and Ronald Klemme Our first act as sophomores was to tnltlate the freshmen This was an lnltlatlon to end all lnttlatlons and It certainly dld At this time the horde from Wlthrow began to descend upon us DeCamp came In our sophomore year Hezlep In the following year and Jeanne Rlcht In our last year Wlthrows loss IS our something or other We also planned a student strlke but ll fell through because we didnt have anything to strike about We held the first Prom at the Terrace Park Country Club and vt turned out well ln spite of the mad scramble for last minute dates Our first venture Into the drama was the presentation of We Shook The Family Tree Many felt that the scenery and the voices of the actors and actresses shook more than the tree dld Finally we emerged triumphant even as the good guys do In cowboy movies Most of our doing during this past year have been recorded elsewhere In this volume Another reason we wont go Into detail about our senior year IS that the things we did this year wont seem funny till next With this we go leaving our tales behind us Don Shackelford . , . . 1 1 1 r ' 1 .
