H wever we went quietly about our work struggling with the problems of Freshman life, and finally emerging triumphant with the admiration and respect of the upper classmen- It was with more confidence that we entered into the work of our second year. Did we who had braved the storms of Algebra fear the pitfalls of Geometry? No, we did not then, but after the first lesson, well, wise men sometimes change their minds dents, facing Graduation and resources and devoted is said, the gods esteem far and here, their expectations . There is a city, Promise, inhabited by stu- the distant beckoning hand of Success, rich in stern pursuit of Knowledge. This one city, it more than any other. Here are their talents . This the gods already aim and fondly hope to to the make the seat of power of the nation, if the Fates permit it. Realizing that the second stepping stone had been crossed, that one half of the long race started when we were Freshmen, was run, and that our goal was a few paces nearer, we began preparations for our Junior year. It was a proud Junior Class the year of 1954 and 35. The activity that this boys and girls making each Junior looked forward to was the Junior-Senior banquet. During year we plunged more fully into the activities of the school, both enviable records in athletics. It was with a spirit of anticipation that ninety-one Seniors began thei last years work. Realizing that this was the crucial period of our high school career, we were determined to make a record never attained by any other class, one to which all other classes would envy and aspire. Knowing that we would need capable leaders to guide us in our efforts to reach our goal, we elected Miss Kramer and Nr. Gutting for our sponsors. Walter Lethem, our president, exhibited rare executive qualities in performing the duties of his office. we have tried to our ability. We have Freshmen only to find pass out of this high accomplish all that was set before us to the best of reached the goal which seemed so far away when we were an even m re distant goal looming before us. As we school, we hope we shall be able to look babk over the four years and see that we have set a high standard for the classes that will follow. History of the members of our is said to repeat itself and we hope to see the names class in a more prominent history in the years to come --Doris B. Fanning I' . ,, i - ' ' .sf 2 -
