QKUIUIHQ J SWAN 0.4. J B7 Ru'H-nie Down through the annals of time, graduation has caused the resemblance between wistful sen- ior visages and the bottom face on a totem pole to become remark- able. It isn't until those last few weeks of rush, bother and hurry that seniors realize they won't be coming back next year. They con- stantly fill the air with 'tremember whens and moans of Hoh, to be a freshman! With spring lethargy comes memories of how the moon looked on the lake at Yentruoc or that glorious picnic fun we all had at Harvey County Park . . . mud, snakes 'n all. No one is going to forget that hectic, but wonderful week at the state tournament. Boy, was that the life! An' to think that our fellas were the ones to walk off with that mammoth trophy, too . . . well, gee whiz! Now gabbing about 'Uway back whens, do you remem- ber all the locker door loves which bloomed and faded and bloomed again? Or those perennials that collected Stardust clear from frosh hall up through senior alley? Leafing through yellowed pages of the '41-'42 Newtonians, we found Shrimp Oliver making goobie eyes at Carr Besemann 'n he didn't seem to mind one speck! The whole school was buzzing about dashing Taki Fotopoulos of the dancing toes and reet violin 'Tn-usic. Hold your breath at this gone, 'cuz Rich Claassen and Annie iBauer were holding hands at every v gang shindig. Will anyone ever forget the dean smell of the hay on those memorable hayrack rides, the bonfires in the fall or that frantic cramming be- fore finalsl ' When it comes right down to brass tacks, the event we seniors will pine for most will be the New- ton basketball frays. lt won't even seem like Friday nights without the excitement, heat and snappy yells to which we once looked for- ward so eagerly. Purim' TTUt'Ilfj'-Sill' School Daze Everything goes into the life of a high school student. Broken down jalopies, headaches, bangs and every type of dress in, or out of, the fashion book. It's these informal moments that makes high school days live in the memories of students long after they leave the secondary learning realm. See you at Charlie's, was the favorite expression of the student body as soon after 3:15 as could be arranged. There, big events of the day were aired-cuts, close calls, dates, how to get work done quickly and other troublesome matters.
