CLASS... THE SET1I0R ..•THOUGHT IT WAS A GALA DAY BACK IN 1936 WHEN AS FRESHIES IT VENTURED FORTH INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN OF HIGH SCHOOL. AT LAST HAD COME THE DAY WHICH WE HAD LIVEO AND WORKED FOR—WHEN WE COULO ENTER THE NORFOLK SENIOR High School. For this first unbelievable semester we electeo Ruth Rice as president, Virginia Reckert as vice-president, Lillian Maas as secretary, AND JIM NICOLA AS TREASURER. FOR THE SECONO SEMESTER WE CHOSE JIM NICOLA FOR PRESIDENT, DON J0HN80N AS VICE-PRESIOENT, MARY TODD AS SECRETARY, ANO Carroll Carter as treasurer. The next year we founo ourselves as sophomores with Experience behind us: But here it was our lot to labor without recognition. We coulo only stano by and watch the juniors ano seniors in their whirlwind of activities. The first semester we decided Jim Van lanoingham was the man for PRESIDENT, LYLE KRAUSE, VICE-PRESIDENT, ALYCE 0ARGER, SECRETARY, ANO CAR-ROLL Carter, treasurer. in the second semester election, Gorcon Jenkins TOOK OVER THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, WITH HIS CABINET CONSISTING OF LYLE Krause, Lillian Maas and Alyce Barger. Before we had realized it, we had passeo into the junior class. we were now upper Classmen: During this year, we learneo to be not only GOOD WINNERS, BUT ALSO GOOD LOSERS BY WADING THROUGH CORNFIELOS ANO WATER TO MEET A GLORIOUS DEFEAT BY THE SENIORS IN THE HARE ANO HOUND RACE. Tm18 DEFEAT, HOWEVER, WAS OFFSET BY THE TRIUMPH OF THE CLASS PLAY FLY AWAY home. The first semester of this year finds Jim Nicola as president, Car-roll Carter as vice-president, Carol Closson in charge of the class»s books and Alyce Barger as the head of the finances. in the second semester Jim Van lanoingham was again given the office of president. Carroll Carter, Carol Closson, and Alyce Barger resumed their first semester duties. With the revenge for the seniors fading, the year came to an end with a glorious memory of the Junior-Senior Banquet which is treasured by all. AT LAST CAME THE DAY WHEN WE WERE TO BE SENIORS. INSTEAD OF THE FRESHMEN (WE ONCE WERE) PRAISING THE UPPER-CLASSMEN, WE ARE NOW THE IDEAL seniors. And we mention The Freshmen get smaller every year, as the upper CLASSMEN USUALLY DO. The OFFICERS FOR THIS FIRST SEMESTER IN THE SENIOR class were president, Jim Van lanoingham; Carroll Carter, vice-president; Secretary, Elizabeth Adkins; and treasurer, Alyce Barger. For the SECONO AND LAST SEMESTER THE SENIORS CHOSE JIM NlCOLA AS THEIR PRESIDENT; Don Bridge as vice-president; Elizabeth Aokins, secretary; and Carol Closson as treasurer. With the final day of reckoning not far from hand, we feel a bit regretful OF BEING A SENIOR, FOR BEHIND US WE LEAVE MANY OF THE GOOO T1UCS AND HARO WORK WE HAVE SHAREO WITH OUR CLASSMATES. W|TH ONLY THE BANQUET, SENIOR CLASS PLAY, OUR TOWN, AND COMMENCEMENT LEFT WE REALIZE THAT THE END OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS IS NEAR. AnC THOUGH THE DAY BE GAY OR 6 0, THE CURTAIN WILL FALL, LEAVING A TRAIL OF GLORY FOR THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1940.
