S £ n 10 R s Despite the increased tempu of the war and the conse- quent influence it has had on those nearing the draft age, our last year of high school has been an eventful one—one which we shall never forget. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Kizer and the class officers, our senior council, in spite of wartime diffi- culties, was able to obtain class rings, graduation an- nouncements, and personal cards. They also arranged a new prelude to graduation, that of holding Bac- calaureate services for the seniors. We watched the commissioners—in spite of occasional “horsing” around —cooperate with the legislative council in maintaining a workable student government. Collaborating with the faculty board, these two groups created the senior honor committe. Our hopes rose high in anticipation of the longed-for honor cards but were dashed beyond repair when they were issued only to the select few who really deserved them. We proved what excellent weed-destroyers we were at the gala spring field- day, but the fun over-balanced the blisters. The dances were many and varied—we loved’em ell. The Block P Barn Dance was the outstanding shindig of the year, while the decorations of the Publications Gay Nineties Ball will long be remembered. The C.S.F. had a large membership both semesters, but only fifteen seniors were able to obtain tho e fatal ten points (the service points help, don't they kids?) for four semesters, thus qualifying for Gold Seal membership. The class didn’t neglect to take part in school affairs, as is shown by the large number of silver sellers. The Campanile, with the help of the student body, issued a spectacular “service” edition—Paly’s tribute to her graduates, in the service. As we look back on the events of our last year at Paly, we realize that although we are looking forward to graduation, it is with reluctance that we leave Paly Hi. 16
