i l SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Mac Blythe President Wilma Morgan Secretary Bobby Thompson Treasurer Herman Mims Vice-President SENIORS Ah, Seniors! What a thrill it was to be the very top class and to know that what you had worked toward for such a long time was nearing the end, and that such a wonderful thing could happen to one. There was the thrill one got from marching into chapel after everyone else was in and stood for you to enter the thrill of anticipating the arrival of the rings, and what a long wait it seemed before they came . . . the thrill of getting to shine that ring on every Junior the thrill of 20 looking forward to the Washington trip and having to save a dollar here and a dollar there in order to go . . . the thrill of the Junior-Senior and being a guest and not having to work to make it a success . . . the thrill of Class Day, Baccalaureate Exercises and finally Com- mencement. . . But with what regret one comes to the parting of the way! Thrilling? Yes, but tempered with nostalgia for the best year yet!!!
