THE CIA S OF 19 1 In the fall of 1957 wc, who arc now Seniors cone trooping into Mattav '.n High School eager and croathlos3 with excitement but sadly bewildered by the strangeness of this new experience. The Soohmoros was the custom, were to initiate the Freshmen but initiation ended by Sophmores taking the punishment making the Freshles winner o the first round. As Soohmorcs wo enjoyed the usual round of good times and also learned how to cooperate and wo established the te:nwork which has ccrried us through to the p o sent time. Than as Juniors wc were awakened to our responsibility by an affair generally referred to as a J-Hop. It was a beautiful thing, the orchestra was unheard of but tho decorations wore boautiful, potted pains, soft lights—net profit a negative • Now as Seniors wo look beck a nd sec the Teachers Institute an-quot, as perhaps our biygest s uccoss, and wc thought there were failures, they do not overbalance our succosees. arc now d i._g tho last chapter to the nonorablc four yoars of high school, fe. of us have gone all the way through togother, but wc fully realiz . that without the help and kind consideration of our teachers wc would not bo going out to our first 'Groat Day tog t..er.
