Class Histor always remember mine, everyone clapping at us when we went into chapel that first day, initiation, getting lost, running up and down the long halls, and then trying not to look so much like 'greeni freshmen at the same time. I had looked forward to high school for such a long time that I could not actual- ly realize that I was there at last. And do you remember all the fun we had going around joining all the clubs and all the extra-curricular activities? Some of us who were musically inclined, joined the band, but those of us who were not, joined the basketball squad or some other club. I don't remember very much about my sophomore year, though. I don't either, except that we were more settled, having at last found out which room was which. We did try to study hard with the Beta Club as our goal. VVe certainly would have liked to become a member of that honor society. But, looking at the intiation of some of the members of the class before us, we almost changed our minds. Yes, and our junior year found some of us looking quite as ridiculous as the other boys and girls looked when they were initiated into the Beta Club. Do you recall how busy we were that junior year trying to publish our paper, 'Tiger Tracks'? Yes, Freida, the gossip editor, surely was busy keeping up with everybody. Remember the morning when we juniors met to choose our class rings? After much controversy we decided on one. And what did you think about all those meetings we had to decided about the junior-Senior picnic? For a while it seemed as though the picnic might turn out to be something else, but we finally decided on a picnic at Pine Mountain. I had always wondered what a junior-Senior picnic was really like. However, I soon found out, and I enjoyed every minute of it.'i And do you remember the intramural basketball games that year? Our girls won and also won again the next year. Both years we received a cup of which we were very proud. And then we became 'dignified seniors' Cfiguratively speaking of courseD. Remember how eagerly we awaited the coming of our class rings? We could hardly wait until they arrived and when they did we were so pleased with them. They made us feel very much more like seniors. The announcements and cards were very different this year. They had an etching of our school in the corner of them. The boys' team was especially successful this year. VVC were very proud of them. And then all the parties and fun at graduation just makes our school career complete. Yes, and it surely has been an enjoyable one. I am certain many of us have heard conversations that are very much like this one. We have been through a long, and ofttimes hard journey. All this is behind us now and we are sitting on top of the world. As we take our separate ways we would like to express our appreciation for the co-operation of the underclassmen and especially the knowledge, the time and the understanding that the teachers have shared most graciously with us. We feel that because of this we are now able to face the world much the wiser. ELIZABETH SHEFELTON, Historian. t
