When we read hisTory boolcs, we Tind iT cusTomary Tor hisTorians To begin wiTh prehisToric days. We are noT quiTe +haT old, buT we shall have To blow The dusT oTT The pages oT yesTeryear and peer inTo -Tor us-The remoTe pasT. On OcTober IO, l935, The TirsT member of The Class of I94'-7 enTered H. I. S. Fear- ing ThaT he mighT become lonely, more of us joined him, and by The end oT The sec- ond grade we were TwenTy. The resT OT The Time aT The Main was spenT in acquir- ing The TundamenTals needed as a sound basis Tor TuTure learning. When we came To The high school as sixTh-grade men, we puT aside childish Things-noT counTing peashooTers and spiTballs-and began To lay a sTiIl beTTer ToundaTion Tor our TuTure acTiviTies. ATTer a Tew raTher unevenTTul years, we became Sophomores and elecTed The courses which we would 'Follow Tor our lasT Three years aT H. I. S. Some preTerred groundwork Tor college educaTion or The business world, while our mechanically- minded whizzers chose vocaTional courses. We began To parTicipaTe in school acTivi- Ties and were becoming Tarm-home lead- ers. Three of us earned TooTball leTTers, and Two received baslceTball leTTers-rare indeed Tor a Sophomore group. As Juniors we became Big Wheels. We excelled in all branches oT sporTs, music, and scholasTic work. There was only one year To go, and we swelled wiTh pride To Thinlc ThaT we would soon be Seniors. ATTer a drawn-ouT summer oT various Tarm chores, we again enTered The im- macuIaTely scrubbed high-school building. This Time we even lisTenecl To The opening addresses. We wenT Through The experi- ences ThaT belong only To The lasT year- The Things ThaT disTinguish iT Trom all CLASS HISTORY oThers. Our more businesslilce welchers Turned on Their high-pressure salesman- ship To sell name cards. The ever-vigilanT class sTaTisTician began To counT The days, hours, minuTes, millcings, and squirTs unTil graduaTion. Senior picTures were Taken wiTh The usual hub-hub of shaves, hair- cuTs, and hair-combing. ATTer driving The oTTice secreTaries berserlc wiTh consTanT cjuesTioning concerning The arrival oT The rings and picTures-They Tinally came! BeTween branding underclassmen wiTh our school rings and Torcing Senior picTures upon unTorTunaTe relaTives, we had a jolly Time. AT lasT The TesTive days oT graduaTion neared, and aTTer The joyous celebraTions we Tound ourselves seaTed rigidly on The CommencemenT plaTTorm, wearing smiles Trom ear To ear. BuT aTTer The usual pomp and ceremony, The curTains slowly closed upon a phase of our lives. WiTh a sudden realizaTion of The evenT, we Turned To each oTher wiTh blanlc expressions. This was The separaTion oT our class. We were aT The end of our sTay aT H. I. S., buT we hope This hisTory will serve as a reminder oT our pleasanT years TogeTher as well as a record oT our accomplishmenTs. 5-1332 7x-7-ffhizq gf' no 4 - -ies-The
