oi lo CUl'■ ° Class sponsor, Miss Lila Mac Harwell, has been the guiding light for these seniors. Nineteen hundred and forty-nine—the year of years for graduating Forty-niners.’’ These youth- ful prospectors will carry with them quite a few nuggets of golden memories as they begin theii long trek into the future, for the big white school has been a rich gold mine of memories. The largest and brightest of these nuggets were found, naturally, during the senior year. Re- member when the senior class rings arrived and hand-shaking greetings jumped to a new high? Or remember the luxurious Senior Days when graduates-to-be received the royal homage befitting their high positions? December 18 was the day of days for the mid-term class, while June seniors cele- brated their day on April 27 by donning their frilliest dresses and dressiest suits to become the envy of the rest of the school. Both classes were honored with luncheons in the school cafeteria and theatre parties during the afternoon. Senior Day entertainment was furnished for the student body by members of the graduating class in special assembly programs, after which silver steer head service awards and citizenship awards were presented. Graduation glamour came with the formal senior dinner dances. Mid-term graduates had theirs (free-for-nothing) on Tuesday, January 18, in the North Side Recreation Building, while Colonial Country Club was scheduled for the June dinner dance on May 5. ° Bobby Woody, president of the spring class, and Darrow Hooper, vice-president, check their credits for graduation. Another golden nugget was the baccalaureate sermon. For the January seniors it was at the North Fort Worth Baptist Church on the morning of January 23; for the June grads it was at Farrington Field on May 22. June seniors had an extra good time planned for them—a senior picnic and swimming party on May 20. The commencement ceremonies, with their last good-byes, are the brightest nuggets among all the golden memories of the senior year. For m'd-term seniors, January 28 marked their last day as mem- bers of the student body. Honor grad- uates Jean Clark and Cleon Flanagan stole the show presented that night in the North Side High School Auditorium. May 31 is the day to be remembered by June Forty-niners for 'twas then that the alma mater rang truest to their ears as they received those little white notes tied with maroon ribbons.
