we .viii es EH? One of the signs of an upperclassman is found on his hand in the form of a gold Mar- tinsville High School ring. This ring partially symbolizes that a student has begun his last cmd most important year at Mavahi. The pride with which the ring is worn lives on even after a student leaves our school, and it will al- ways be a reminder of his eventful years here.

One of the most magical moments of our high school days was the long-awaited, much dreamed of Junior-Senior Dance.

As Seniors, we will al- iii ways remember our Junior-Senior as the last big event before graduation. One of the most enjoyable parts ot the dance was seeing our friends, who were normally dressed in school clothes, attired in their most formal wear, and we realized that this social event was really a part ot our education in becoming adults. ln gathering for a dance such as this, we gained a lesson in social adjustment.

,lg-..1.T, Hode-i, Hocle-a, what a great big wonder- ful day. At last the final day arrives-the day that climaxes the years of study and learning.

The diploma we receive is truly a challenge as we leave our beloved school and face the future. Although our high school years are past, the memories still shine bright and, as long as we live they will be So Dear to Our Heartsf' .
