Auf Wiedersehen S the last: lap of their high school career draws to a close, the class of '55 will soon be able only to remember four crowded years of assem- blies, athletic endeavors and the ordinary hurly- burly, intermingled with an occasional glorious ex- am. First in their memory, however, will be things of the last year in which they took part. Many and varied were these activities-hence de- lightful the recollections. The Senior Ball, the Senior Play, the class as- sembly and class day, all annual events were ex- tremely successful, but longer will be remembered Costume Day and Senior Courtesy, both originat- ed by this versatile class. On Costume Day, se- niors could for rather could notj be recognized because of their complete disguises. Richmen, poormen, beggarmen and thieves, all were present, along with representatives of many nations. Even the kindergarten exponents ap- peared. The Courtesy Plan provided that all seniors leave the auditorium before their lower classmates. f0h, for the life of a Seniorlj A time comes for a serious occasion for everyone. The Baccalaureate service, with its profound beauty, provided spiritual food for the '35-ers. Graduation-caps and gowns, diplomas, honors, flowers, relations, happy boys and girls-graduation, the end of high school, who could ever forget its simple pageantry? One wants to be remembered as well as to remember. Thus the Senior gift. It caused a quandary in the minds of the gift committee, but finally they blossomed forth with a brilliant idea, and this year's gift is again the best ever given. Nevertheless, the trophy cases left by the Class of ,35 - filled a long-felt need, added a great deal to the main corridor, and here- after it will be unnecessary to pilot visitors into the attic to display our honors. Near the top, reading horizontally from top to bottom, are the leaders of the Class of l35: Brooke Fink and John Ful- ler, presiilentsg Philip Lynch and VVayne Caldwell, vice presidentsg Mildred Rut- ledge and Barbara Cohoon, secretaries: L e W i s Hawthorne, treasurer: Rowena Dawley and Betty Secrest, representa- tivesg XVillard Miller, representative, and Thomas Ratliff and Wanda Sousie, yell leaders.

The addition of a reporters' bench also helped the department mater- ially. Watch the 1935-36 journalists-they're all set to go! we .....,.s M---sw 15
