A FOND FAREWELL What a wonderful year this has been! Beginning with September 3 fthe first day of schoolj we were busily engaged in all sorts of activities. On the tenth of October we saw our iirst all-star baseball game of the season. Our soccer season began early in the fall. Graduation pictures were taken in September. What fun we had comparing results when we got the proofs before Christmas! Our first edition of the monthly newspaper was started in October. Oh, yes, and the senior play The Daffy Dills , was quite a hit, but the success of the play was, without doubt, largely due to the fact that such senior talent as: Ruth Sipes, Melvin Strait, Jean Johnston, Larry Cisney, Delores Peck, George Shearer, Nancy Shimer, Larry Chubb, Pearl Abbott, Betty Culler, and Shirley Sipes starred in the production under the direction of Mr. C. B. Chubb. On December 13 a Christmas concert was held in the school auditorium by our school band. Our Christmas vacation began on Dec. 20th and ended Jan. 2, and very soon we were back in school preparing for exams. It just didn't seem possible that we had completed the first semester of our senior year. We still have many thrilling events ahead. Think of the publication of FLASHLITES! How about the banquet when the juniors play host to our class? Then we have had a major part in the Field Meet, Junior-Senior Prom, Band and Choral Concerts, to say nothing of our trip to New York, baccalaureate, and commencement. We can hardly realize that our high school days are almost over. We must make progress by making a way, if we can't iind it. That means we will march forward to the future with confidence and courage. The Senior Class
