Some of us were strangers to each other, but it didn't take long to become friends, ioin clubs, and take part in activities together. As the big, green doors opened the next year, we had somewhat dwindled in size. We remem- ber the awful smell of formaldehyde in the iars of preserved animals we were to dissect in biol- ogy classes. This year, too, we discovered a new world of English literature. The Junior-Senior Prom in our third year was the highlight of the year. It took many long hours to decorate the gym, but the theme, With a Song in my Heart, was beautifully carried out in pink and silver. The junior play was another highlight of the year because we were doing the acting. 16 As the last of four wonderful, exciting years began, we proudly enrolled, but with a little re- morse. This year we are only l79. Some had quit school, some had gotten married, and one of our classmates, Sandra Ward, was killed during the summer. This touched all of us deeply. This year we have given the iuniors the most beautiful and extravagant Senior-Junior Christmas Party that we could afford. We set our sights for the senior play and the practice it would take. The iuniors then gave us a prom as the last formal we were to attend in high school. Somehow, as we look back over the years, it seems a little sad to think of leaving what has been a second home. It is also with fear and wonder that we begin to step into a world of opportunity, a fast-moving world, indeed.

Being secretary of such a large high school takes most of her time, but Mrs. Bell still has time for out- side interests with her family. Some of her duties include man- aging the book store, counting all money that is collected, booklceeps ing, and helping the students with her so-always smiling, untiring attitude. Also helping the maiority of the students during the clay are the bus drivers, who have perhaps a bigger responsibility than any other person affiliated with this school. The students say thanks to them for another safe year. Serving as secretary ln the office is Mrs. Bonita Vaughn Bell, a '47 graduate and winner of the Balfour Award.
