And then it turned out better than the seniors wanted to admit, thanks to the wonderful cooking and the high class entertainment (this includes Sid Johnson’s “hies” in the junior version of Spike Jones’ “Cocktails for Two.”) Of course, they will never forget the Hare and Hound races. We pass lightly over the one in their junior year, in which they were miserably beaten, and dwell on the one in their senior year. They felt snug as they sipped their steaming cocoa and gulped down sandwiches, watching the weary juniors come straggling in the gym one by one. Even though their bones did ache from lying on the wet. cold ground and their noses were sore from the constant application of pressure on them to war off noisy sneezes, they were glad to sacrifice this little to add great glory to the class of 48. They will remember little things too. Mr. Grosscup’s stream of ninth ] eriods; Miss Mac’s giggle: trudging up and down down and up the halls; cramming for tests at the last minute; the team captain’s stuttered “We’ll beat ’em” and the yells at pep rallies; the hardness of the seats and the numbness of their feet at the end of a football game; the feeling of elation as one of our boys swished a basketball through the basket; the sound of the choir practicing in the auditorium; Mr. Welch’s corny jokes in band; the quietness of 209 the week of semester tests; and many other little things that will make them remember high school days as the best days of their lives. They’ve worked petty hard and had lots of fun in the last 48 months. During these months they have been a vital part of Norfolk Senior High, 22 WHAT'LL WE SING?—Marion McClelland, Phyllis Manske, Bob Clark, Shirlee Miller, Bob Light, Dean McGinnis.

Many long years ago, way back in ’4:5, a group of innocent-eyed, blissfully ignorant freshmen entered tin jx rtals of Norfolk Senior High. Little did they know of what strange and fascinating things lay Indore them in the next four years. Take for instance the cold day when Mr. Skillstad interrupted their planning for an elite frosli sneak day to inform them, gently but firmly. that it was definitely against the rules of the school to skip anytime they pleased. Or the joy they were to get in pulling a bovine animal out of a slimy mudhole on the fresh-n-sophom re picnic. They didn’t realize, then, the thrill of getting splattered in the race with a runny raw egg on Field Day, or the horror of Latin declen- sions and chemistry formulas. ()h no. they never dreamed any of these things could happen to them. I f they had. we’re sure all we would have seen of these small green people would l e their backs as they hastily escaped from the nearest exit. All these things did happen, though, and more too! (iradually these innocents became so hardened to the ways of high school life that now, on the brink of an entirely new life, they can look back with a grim smile instead of a painful grimace. They hate to admit it but they would give all their credits in phys ed just to start high school all over again. Oh, to go to their first prom again!
