God teach mc to believe that I Am stationed at a post, Although the humblcst 'naath the sky, Where I am needed most. And that, at last, if I do well My humble services will tell. God grant me faith to stand on guard, Unchacred, unspoke, alone, And sec behind such duty hard My service to the throne. Whato'cr my task, bo this my creed: I am on earth to fill a need.

The following September we were surprised to find ourselves f8ophomores. Perhaps we too, looked upon the Freshies with a Hsuperiorn g1ance.W It seemed that we had consumed all our energy and originality as Freshies for all the ambition we had left as Sophomores, was to plan a skating party which no one attended. This year we chose Carol Adams, President, Robert Van Amburgh, Vice Presidentg Maxine Cross, Secretary, and Florence Jones, Treasurer. This year Miss Kelsey was our class advisor. In our Junior year we made up for all the idleness possessed as Sophomores. We started out right by electing Keith Amsbaugh, President, Jeane Bardwell, Vice President, Leona Duncan, Secretaryg and Maxine Cross, Treasurer. We began early in the year to plan for the annual 'lunior play. After small difficulties we presented, WThe Patsyu. This was a huge success due in great part to the splendid cooperation of our class advisor, Miss Castlio. The all-important event of the season was yet to come -- the Junior Prom. We deliberated many months upon the type of prom we were to give. We finally chose an Indian one and we have never been sorry. The hall resembled a forest, and the setting was developed by a real Indian tepee with a fire inside. The banquet tables were decorated with Indian canoes laden with wild flowers, and place cards with dance programs in the form of an Indian tepee. Our prom was publically declared the best ever given and one well worth attending. Thus ended our Junior year. Last, but not least, our Senior year. This year, for many of us, has been the most important of them all. Probably more credit is due to our present class advisor, Mr. Waller, for our success than to any other factor. Through his cooperation and guidance we have accomplished many things and we are indeed indebted to him. We purchased and fashion ed a beautiful velour curtain which now adorns the stage of the auditorium, and which is our parting gift to the high school. Immediately following this activity we presented the senior play - - nThe Red-Headed Step Child,U a three-act play which surpassed in popularity the hit, nThe Patsy,U of our Junior year. We earned enough money at this play to finance our school activities for the remainder of the year. The Seniors this year are publishing the first annual in nine years, with the hope that this work may be carried on by other classes. The class officers are Keith Amsbaugh, Presidentg Jean Bowman, Vice Presidcntg Florence Jones, Secretary, and Edna Sugden, Treasurer. A n n u Through out our high school career we have taken a prominent part in all athletics. In football, basketball, track and tennis, our class has always been well represented in all activities of the High School. The boys of our class have always been leaders in athletic events which have brought much honor to the school
