SENIUIQ HISTUIQY Searchlight Associate Ed. 4g Barnwarming On the morn of September 7, 1936, forty-four round and beaming faces en- tered the welcoming doors of the then small building of Palmyra High School. Becoming slightly discouraged after a few days of the new ordeal of high school life, Mr. Gene CCoachJ Hall took the entire group into his care and guided them through a delightful freshman year. In 1937 we look at the door of the high school and find to our utter surprise, a very different group than the one we saw entering those same doors the year before. How are they different this year you ask? I'll tell you. Thev are a superior lot and are no longer in need of guidance. No, indeed, now they are offering it. They are .sophomores Even though the group now offered advice they sometimes re- quired advice from their guiding sponsor, lkiiss Ihrig. Come, buy candy and pop, called the juniors shortly after entering the Junior year. Yes, they are preparing for that Grand and Glorious event, the Prom. Being a small class and badly in need of money, the entire group gave their assistance and put aside all other things to solve the money-making prob- lem, and succeeded in accumulating a large treasure. An air of excitement hung over the school for days, or maybe I should say weeks, before the Prom. The Prom theme was kept as a deep dark sec- ret. Mr. Hall, the flower lover, made such a successful arrangement in the flower decorations, that everyone agreed it was the most successful Prom Palmyra High had sponsored. Make way for the Seniors! Yes, those dear little boys and girls who enter- ed high .school on the morn of September 7, 1936, have now attained Seniorhood. Thinking we had the most difficult task in our school when we gave the Prom, we discovered our grave mistake when we shouldered the task of editing the Searchlight. We are greatly honored to have the privilege of being the first class to gradu- ate in the New Auditorium. It is with heartache and tears that this group of Seniors leave P. H. S., but we hope it continues to grow in size and efficiency. With a fond adieu we say goodbye to you! and you and you. Margaret Bailey.
