4 I' llll YEAR I REVIEW We lost Fred Cross to Augusta Military Academy and Beverly Sheetz to Stephens: Aubrey Baldwin moved away from town: Iohn Franklin, Ioe Minter, Edith Doyle, and Ashton Bocock liked the Iunior Class so well that they decided to be Iuniors again. Robert Alcorn, Sarah Bennett, Pencie Corns, and Carl Harmon failed to join us--so on September fourth, thirty-two Seniors marched upstairs to Miss Boyd's room. Early in the year we checked our financial status and decided definitely not to spend time trying to make money. We paid our dues, made our annual pay for itself, and spent our time studying, having fun, working on the annual and the play. It seems that almost every day we'd hear Norman say, Pay your class dues, or Ann Brent announce Annual staff meeting tonight at 7:15. Football came and went, so did the Girls' Hi-Y Conference, and were we proud of the way Ruth presided at those meetings. , Our rings came and then not so long after that mid-term exams were upon us and gone. Do you remember that pretty spring day, April 7, lday after Easter holidaysl, when we pre- sented a new flag to the school? We were on the upper side of the flag pole and the rest of the student body in a semi-circle to our right. Mr. Givens accepted the flag on the behalf of the school. Then the new flag floated up in the breeze as the Star Spangled Banner was played, and we gave the pledge of allegiance. Spring meant the senior play and we chose IUNE MAD. April 17, saw Iris as Penny and Robert as Chuck leading their parents a merry chase while Ann Brent was lovable as Mrs. Wood. These were ably assisted by Ann Brodie, Bobby Brown, Lorene Hundley, Robert Saunders, Norman Schreibfeder, Claybrook Lester, Bronzie Harris, Iohn Hodges, Roberta Snyd- er, and Spotswood Walker. It seemed just an hour from the play until Senior Day was here, and what fun we had dressed up as if for our first day at school. No picnic was ever more fun than that one. Then we became even more serious for examination time was approaching. We studied, sent out our invitations for graduation, worked on commencement for it was especially our own with no out of town speaker. The theme was Pillars of Democracy . The stage was set: in the center, against a blue background, was a map of the Americas. Standing on the floor of the stage were two pillars on each side of the map. These pillars lit up the words, Religion, Justice, Equality, Fratemity, and Freedom. To the left of the stage was the piano and to the right, the American Flag. We gave our program as follows: Processional Prayer ....... ............................ I ris Atkins Vocal Solo ..... ............. - --Spotswood Walker Iustice ....... ....... R uth Groves Equality ......... ..... - -- ..... Betsy Longsworth Violin Solo ..................... ............ R uth Groves Fraternity ........................ .... N orman Schreibfeder America, My Own, Nobel Cain .... ................ C horus Freedom ....................... - .... Ann Brent Shockley Star Spangled Banner ................ ........... G lee Club Awarding Diplomas Recessional So-Iune-the end of the school year-brought graduation, the very thing for which we had worked the entire year. Graduation and with it-farewell to Mavahi. Farewelll a word that must be, and hath been- Q A sound which makes us linger:--yet-farewell! ll5l
