Gr perhaps a trup or two to the dentust though Mr Stanford had a very doubtful look un hus eyes when he sugned the excuse? Remember the tume we were talkung about a certaun teacher when sudclcnly there she was? Yes ut s happened to each of us but we loved laughung about ut afterwards And then came the twelfth grade As usual at our furst senuor class meetung lvlr Standford pre suded We elected our class offucers Presudent Roy Clackum Secretary and Treasurer Rose l-lowell and all presudents of senuor homerooms were appounted vuce presudents Thus was to be a very busy year for us We receuved our flag pole and our hearts were thrulled as the color guards from Fort McClellan raused the flag Through the wonderful efforts of our outstandung football team they led us to vuctory many tumes un the season and then un the Turkey Bowl Game As graduatton nears we remember that our chuldhood days are gone never to return But as we walk across the stage a brught smule appears as we thunk of At last we ve reached our goal And thus was our Dream 26 .
