Ccontinued Class Historyi and to top it off, we got our first lecture from a teacher. It was entitled nGo to Classes when Classes Are Meeting.H Initiation day dawned cold and damp and we padded to school with bare feet, bathing suits, shorts and midriffs. In the evening it rained and we couldn't have the party that was scheduled so we went home and nursed our hurt feelings all evening. That year we were introduced to algebra. We really burned the midnight oil and tied up the party lines all evening while we com- pared answers. In our soghomore year we quit calling up our friends and saying HDid you get x - y for the third one saying, HDid you debit or credit proprietorship?H Mr. Wilcox thrilled us by showing us a French curve. Cln goemetry of Course!7 Early in the morning on October 16, l9M8 we all saw horrible clouds of blue smoke and dust. when it started to clear away we found it was Jerry Smith who was the proud owner of a Buick 9, and extremely broke. In our junior year we became the owners of class rings. Gary had to delay giving his away for a short time while he sent it back to get his initials put on it. 0 Feudin, Fighten, and Fussin should have been the theme for our banquet, but instead we used a rainbow theme. On the day before the banquet we carried our crepe paper rainbow from Shaw's store to the schoolhouse trying to dodge between raindrops to keep from getting wet. The process disrupted the whole high school as we tried to keep everyone away from the windows while we paraded thru the streets. The name of our play was uwhich Shall He Marry.H The first night we skipped several pages and felt so bad about cheating our customers that the second night we adlibbed and added about 20 minutes. The pedestrians of Minburn soon learned to be careful on the streets for Jerry, Carl, and Gary all owned, ncars.H This brings us up to our twelfth and last year. Little Dan Cupid caused our class to decrease to the size of eighteen by sweeping Peggy Chambers and Delores Myers down the bridal aisle. Without a doubt the graduating class to graduate from Minburn High School for some time as three of its members claim diamonds. The last semester of our senior year seems very busy since we are working on music for the music contest, the annual, operetta, senior play, and occassionally our studies. we feel that as a class of eighteen students, we have accomplished something which no one can take from us. We all agree with Irving Berlin when he said, nLife is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it. If 'bnzy ff' I ,f'T f f A ' -'Q-f R ru .
