TRANSITIO woA YEARBOOK The earliest Midlothian High School yearbook on record the 1938 Tattler. With sixteen graduating seniors, the class secretary dutifully penned the fol- lowing inauspicious paragraph in the sen- ior class history: “This year the school purchased a mimeograph machine and we made plans to make use of it by printing an annual. The school has not had an annual before and we found the job to be quite a task.”’ Quite a task indeed! Yearbook production was suspended at Midlothian between the years of 1939 and 1950, partly because of the global conflicts entangling the entire world. In 1950, however, the Midlo Memories was born, featuring a graduating class of fif- teen. The Midlothian yearbook was regu- larly published under the Midlo Memories title until 1957. In that year, the Trojan was conceived and produced for the very first time. The senior class historian re- corded that ‘‘... our annual staff...dida wonderful job and produced a new and different type of annual... ”’ Twenty-four editions later, the Midloth- ian Trojan is still the official yearbook, dutifully documenting the Midlothian sto- ry. There are ten times as many seniors today as there were back in 1957, the yearbook length has tripled, and the total yearbook budget has quadrupled almost twice. The Trojan is still a reflection on the growth of our school, with memories of our high school days. Twenty five years of remarkable progress — — a growing stu- dent body and faculty, new buildings, ad- ditions, and ever-expanding curriculum, new opportunities ... The Trojan is still the record of our so- journ at Midlothian High School, our in- volvement in sports and organizations, our attempt to set individual goals and find means of achieving them, the deci- sions we had to make, the joyful events and quiet times we shared with friends, the efforts on our studies, the pride we felt for our school ... our lives as stu- dents who walked the hallways of Mid- lothian High School... This, the twenty-fifth anniversary edi- tion of the Midlothian Trojan, continues a fine tradition begun in 1957. Transitions 3
