CLASS HI TORY . At last we have reached the top-the top of the long ladder that leads to gradua- tion-and now we are on our own. But, before we leave school and forget about it entirely and each of us goes on his own separate way, let us review the steps that led us to the top. After eight years of working and studying, we were two thirds of the way up the ladder of success and were receiving some recognition. Our first chance to prove that we could do something and do it well came when we gave the Freshman Party, Novem- ber 1. The traditional orange and black supplied the decorative color scheme and Ioe Petrone provided the music. Then, before it got too cold, and when the moon was high in the sky, we rented some tractors and wagons and had a hayride. This gave the members of our class an opportunity to get better acquainted. More funl Also, during our Freshman year, getting away from classes for just a little while and also getting an education at the same time, Mrs. Barr, our science teacher, took us to Philadelphia to the Franklin Institute. It was spring, the weather was fine, and we all had a wonderful time. Then, up another step of the ladder and we were sophomores. We had a lot of fun -hayrides, dances, roller skating-but the most important event was the Sophomore Hop. Wasn't the Christmas tree pretty? We took a trip to Philadelphia this year under the direction of Miss Senft, our history teacher. This time it was to the Art Museum and the Museum of Natural History. Our third year in high school-recognition at last. We were very busy, but no busier than the lovable little ushmool' at a dance sponsored by our class. Each mem- ber was represented by a shmoo, even though some juniors weren't there in person. Many will remember February 18. This was the big day that we all had been wait- ing for. What was it? You guessed it-the Iuniors got their class rings. Some of the classmen didn't keep their own rings for long, though. The second big event in our Iunior year was our formal dance-the Prom. The Research Club was beautifully decorated with tulips and streamers. And, of course, before the dance was over, it rained! Our last and most important step-and here we didnlt falter, either. The Seniors started the year off right by giving a dance. Then, all through the rest of the year, we were very busy-our year book was published, our Senior play, You Can't Take It With You, was presented, we went to Washington on our class trip, we had Bacca- laureate, Class Night, and finally, what everyone had been working for and waitin for, Commencement, ended our hectic schedule. QBut before that, we struggled througi our examsj And now, at last we have reached the top. We needed guidance and hel , and received both of these from our capable teachers. We have had lots of fun and, hope that future classes have as much success as we have had. We also hope that the mem- bers of our class will bring recognition and honor to Oxford High as they go on their own ways in their chosen careers. 14
