CLASS lllS'l'0liY Finally! We are Seniors. Back in the ninth grade our senior year looked so far away that we all thought we would never reach that honored position. But at last we are among the choice few who can use the expression of Seniors first. We can bluff our way through questions of forgot- ten algebra and disregarded geometry that are asked by lower classmen. We, the Senior girls and boys, are used to that look of envy from junior high students, fand perhaps a few crushes, too, offered humbly from a seventh graderj. And above all, we now have the privilege of recalling. Remember, way back in the ninth grade, when- . Yes, do you remember back in the ninth grade when we were initiated by supposedly su- perior sophomores ? How ridiculous the girls looked with their hair in pin-curls and no make-up. Their blouses were on backwards, and their fathers' shoes didn't help their appearance any. And the fellows looked so silly with lipstick and burlap bags for dresses. They had bows in their hair and high-heeled shoes. How could we ever look at each other again without laughing- and some actually go steady with each other after that night of horror? But revenge is sweet. In the tenth grade we made up for all the abuse and fallen pride we had suffered and took it out on those poor freshmen. Is it any wonder that their fingers were worn to the bone polish- ing our shoes, or that they were so embar- rassed when we made them propose to the teachers and chaperones? Yes, everything we had suffered was compensated for in one cruel night of repayment. Then in the eleventh grade we tried our hand at helping the faculty with the problem of an over-crowded school by having bake sales. What an epidemic! Also we put on a dance which was a big success. Naturally we bribed everyone to come, and therefore we made money. And who will ever forget our junior play with its falling scenery and forgotten lines? VVe all agreed it was something to tell our grandchildren on a winter evening. Then, the night of nights! Our Prom, glittering and sparkling as only a first prom can be. Oh, the wonderful walks along the pool at the Wade Park Manor and then the floorshow at the nightclubs afterwards - the thrill of a lifetime! Then the joyous event of becoming Seniors. We held a hayride which none of us will ever forget because of scars of mem- ory or flesh, whichever the case may be. The hayride smashed up, but no one was hurt. Again, we agreed, it was something to remember. Announcements to be picked out, gowns to be measured for, the senior play with its happy memories of rehearsal, the prom - gay, but yet sad because it was our last, and - finally -- commencement. Yes, now we're alumni and proud of itg but deep in our hearts we would give anything to be back in the ninth grade with all of it ahead of us once more. Page 22
