Once upon a time Ctwelve years ago to be exactj, three little boys were about to start their first year of school at H. I. S. As they dreamed of the future, their night of grad- uation seemed so far away that the very thought of receiving their diplomas would always be a dream. One of those boys, Alton Buck, is now our class president, and tonight that dream will come true. So on this, our last day at H. I. S., when we are thinking about the future and what it hol-ds for us, let us look back through the years and recall the chapter in our lives en- titled Homeboys. As the years went by, more boys were added, and the number of members in our class began to swell. After playing Cow- boy and Indian for five years at The Main, we decided to play farmer, so we left our Hshootin' irons at The Main and moved to the farm homes. We soon discovered that it required less effort to play Cowboy and Indian, but we buckled down to our tasks, and before long we were milking like veterans. Time marched on, and so did we. It was not long until we were Freshmen, the big wheels of junior high and strictly major league. Then, almost before we knew it, we were Sophomores and split into three dis- tinct groups-academic, commercial, and vo- cational. Choosing a college, business, or vocational course was a hard job for some of us, but we ma-de our decisions and started to work. It was during this year that we began to infiltrate into the various school activities to an appre- Gaaaa-411311044 coming masters of our respective trades. Well, at least we were getting acquainted with their fundamentals. ' As Juniors, we began to perfect these fundamentals and to work .on the harder, more complicated jobs. These jobs, plus the increase in our activities, had us so absorbed that the year seemed very short. We took our final examinations, and the Class of 1949 left these halls of learning to us. We were now the school leaders, and we were ready to assume the responsibilities that go with leadership. On June ll, 1949, we held our first social affair, the Junior Prom. Much to our relief, it was a great success. On August 30, 1949, we turned the last page of the chapter entitled I-Iomeboysf, and on that page we saw Mr. Harnish give his famous speech- Competition is Keen! We smiled then, but it was not long before we discovered how right he was. Time was now fiying. Our class rings, Senior pictures, and dances came in a rush. Athletics and other extracurricular activi- ties took much of our time. Before we real- ized it, June was upon us. After studying feverishly and sweating it out through each test, we were eligible to receive our diplomas. The year ended in a flutter of activity. We had our Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Service, Class Day, and Commencement ex- ercises all wrapped up in a short space of time. It was a glorious and appropriate climax to the memorable chapter in our lives entitled Home- ciable extent. boys. We also had more 'gl As we go forth into movie privileges.
