It sure was funny sec- ing the seniors living up to their dignified promotion October 8-'WVho are you voting for?'? was the typical question asked, for today was the election of the senior officers. We all held our breath until we heard the results. Good- looking president, huh? October 16H .llm getting down to some real hard work, was the common remark made today. Yes, report cards were received. You could tell by the expression on faces that the seniors had decided to turn over a new leaf. November 14-My! Aren't they big and handsome? That 'S what the girls were saying when our football players made their speeches at the G. G. C. sweater hop. Some team we had this year! December 19-'tljardon Me Boy! ls that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo? Swing it boys and girls. And that 's exactly what we did at the Junior-Senior Christmas dance. Remember the Grand March around the Christmas tree. December 23-At last! We thought our Clhristmas recess would never come. The days seemed to drag like years, but you didn't hear anyone complaining. Of course not, much too lose to Christmas. January 2-Our gym and swimming days are over. Yes, First Aid is replacing them. The students, knowing its importance, didn 't mind giving up their periods.

G. C. sweaterhop. They were singing, lVe did it before and we can do it again. And if we know them, they'll do it again. March 21-'tSpring is in the air Most of us had that good old disease, Spring Fever. ' ' The trees blossoming and the birds singing made us feel like different individuals. April 1- Easter time is time for eggs and time for eggs is Easter time. Easter vacation began today. Wie hope that the Easter bunny treated you squarely.

A reception committee was there to greet us, Brad Hunt 's Orchestra and the gym was beautifully decorated with American flags. May 29-Farewell to the seniors! Here we have been waiting for this day for years and now that it finally came we didn't feel like rejoicing. That's what Commencement does to you. Goodbye to our school days.

CDid we say goodbye to our school days?j Yes, 'tthem days are gone forever. 1Ye'Ve lived the best part of our lives. Relieve it or not!
