Now four years later, six Seniors are graduating from Melbeta. The differ- ence isg there are now four boys and two girls instead of the original four girls and two boys. Last year 1944 Lucy Nichols and Lucille Romick quit school and were married. In 1942 Junior P. and Dick F. entered our school. Our first year, 1941-42 we were initiated in- to the wonders of High School and were called green, a fact we now realize was true. The experience and knowledge we have gained in the past four years of high school serve as our basic foundation in a secure and profitable future. In 1942-43 our sophomore year we were a little less scared and a little lighter shade of green. This year was moderately quiet and we dug deep into the mysteries of science and figures of geometry. We realize now our digging was worthwhile, when at the time it seemed a waste of time. In 1943-44 we had faded much more and hardly any green could be seen. We pur- chased our class rings and honored the graduating class with a banquet held at the Lincoln Hotel after which we went to the McGrew Senior Class Play. We also edited a Junior Class Paper called the Bond of which Lucy Nichols was editor. The rest of the class occupied numerous essential jobs. Now our last year, our Senior year, 1944-45, we seem to have lost all traces of green according to school traditions. During the past four years our class has been very active in pep clubs, athletics and all school activities. VVe close our High School years thankful for the privilege we have in gaining the knowledge and experience which will mean so much to us in our future. We will all go our different ways but will be successful because we all have a good foundation and that is our four High School years. 1945
