sENioR CLQASS Grandma, look! We found this old Riddle! Yes, children. That was my last year in high school. Would you like to hear about it? Well, that was long ago, but to me it seems only yesterday. All the exciting things we did then may seem queer and funny to you now, but I'll never forget them. I can remember the football games-of course we played football then-and all our heroes. l was in the ,band, children, and we had to march up and down the muddy field at every game. lt doesn't seem so bad, now. You can't imagine your old Granny marching, can you? We had parties, too. l can re- member the big Homecoming. lt was such a marvelous success. And there were other parties. The R. O. T. C. ball was one, and the fall party, and an afternoon party-oh, all kinds of parties. And then came the basketball season. We had some top-notch Seniors on that team! Why, we carried off the regional trophy! Then I'll never forget the trip the Seniors took to Casey. We stayed all day. lt was interesting, and so much fun. There was a gym show my Senior year, too. lt was then that the May Queen was crowned. I see you are smiling at those pictures. Yes, they do look funny now, don't they? And here's one of the French Club . . . and one of the band. Both of them worked terribly hard on their conference and contests. But the sweetest memories of all were Spring, and the Junior-Senior Prom, and the class play. l was beginning to feel as if I were leaving a mother, and then came Commencement, and all the good times . . . were . . . iust about . . . over , . . and . . . Look, Jimmy! Grandma's asleep!
