The fact that we were finally seniors was fully realized as we marched into assembly for the first time, and the traditional applause was begun by the underclassmen. Awareness of the responsibility that was ours overwhelmed us, and we were humbled at its true signifi- cance. After four years of learning and grow- ing, we were finally the leaders of Martinsville High School-those who were respected and followed by the remainder of the student body. Our senior year was a busy one, full of the various activities of work and play that ac- companied our previous years. Still, this year held a greater importance to us as we en- deavored to gain the final bits of knowledge that would prepare us for our future place in our community. Some of us planned for college, some of us prepared to enter the business profession, but all of us were eager to begin the quest for our lifetime goal.

The most important phase of extracurricular activities in our school life was the work in the various clubs. ln organizations such as these we not only learned the importance of working together to accomplish a goal, but we were able to see clearly the needs of our community. Leadership is essential in obtain- ing the results that a club desires, but we must always remember that i+'s what you do with what you've got that pays off in the end. iii muiiuyiwiiiwiiHiiimiii - ii iii ii ii Although a project may not be carried out to perfection, if the members of the club have truly gained by their participation in the ac- tivity, it has been a definite success. Through learning the importance of being a good club member during high school, the adults ot to- morrow will learn the meaning of co-operation and will be better equipped to meet the de- mands ot society. r, , , , f f -2 H' iii ii ir' 'Y -- lit.. l , pf ls. ii. ,,,.m,,,,,., ii... ies?ii.i.

Old man Adversity is gonna have his bluff called, stick-to-it-tivity never lost a fight. Our high school education would have never been complete if we had not had the competition in sports to create school loyalty and the spirit of rivalry. Those seniors who were in someway directly connected with our teams realized the truth of the quote. Whether we won or lost, the real victory was in knowing that the game had been played well and the teams had stuck to their job. The cheerleaaers added color to the games and led the student sec- tion in cheers for the Martinsville Bulldogs. In this phase of our school life, we realized the appropriateness of the frequently quoted lines from one of the songs in So Dear to .My Heart. lf you've got that stuff called 'stick- to-it-tivity', you're gonna do all right.
