Therefore, I hope to be forgiven tor the continuol repetition used in my remorlcs .... As spring neors its end ond thoughts ot summer goily till the oir, so the thoughts ot groduotion till the oiir tor us, the seniors ot l949. As the yeor leoves spring behind ond goes into o new sum- mer, so we ore leoving our high school cloys behind ond ore focing the new experiences thot lie on our future. Prevolent in our minds cit this time is onother similor situotion thot occurred some twelve veors ctgo. We were looking forword to onother new ond toscinoting experience. Everything wos exciting ond interesting, even the new scor we hod on our orms ond that voluoble sheet of poper, proving thot we were reolly born, which mode us legitimote tirst groders. In those first six yeors tor moybe more for somet of grommor school, we lecirned the fundomentols ot reodin', writin', ond 'rithmetic. Then we probobly didn't reolize it, but we were wotching the present doy Porrish High othletes showing their skills ot the oge of nine ond ten. In the lost yeors ot grommor school we leorned with much ettort whot o noun ond odiective ore, little reolizing thot there ore such things os gerunds ond porticiples. Page IQO The next step was iunior high school. The huge building Cas it appeared to usl and the startling number of teachers held a new charm for us and a new fear. lt was the first time all the people our age had come together, and we found our classmates not such bad fellows as we had thought when we had engaged one another in a grammar school baseball game. y And then we entered Parrish High as little iunior threesf' fln fact we were the class that raised so much fuss at this name that it was used very sparingly by the end of our first yearl. The boys looked very peculiar minus all their hair, and, because the girls had not mastered the art of applying make- up, they looked almost as bad. The seniors were the characters whom we most admired. lf one spoke to us, we were very much flattered. How fast the years-nine, ten, and eleven-passed and with them passed World War ll. We were again at peace, and all our school war activities of finding scrap iron and tin cans changed to provid- ing food and clothing for the thousands of homeless people in Europe. Then in l948, we became the seniors. lt wasn't the entirely new thing that we had anticipated. ln fact, it wasn't different at all except that we received our beautiful class rings, we talked about our senior dances, the annual, the senior picnic lpioneer activity started by our classl, and for the first time we became a real united group, making the most successful class organization we had yet had. We were quite proud of our magazine sales. We reached our extremely high quota of 54,500 In fact we exceeded it to make our final sales amount to S4,643, and this made us Southeastern champions. For weeks later we teasted on those two pound boxes of candy awarded us for our good work. Perhaps the greatest achievement we have made this year has been the promotion of the honesty program. We reached another goal in our lives when we placed honesty as a paramount obiective in our school work. And now as the school year of 1949 draws to a close, we, the seniors, think over all that these 'I2 precious years have meant to us. And, when in later years we glance at our diplomas, so small and yet so significant, the thoughts of classmates, teachers, and twelve years of cherished experience shall fill our minds with happiness and yet with a little nostalgia. if Q' 7 15 ll Page l2l CLAS I'lillI'llIllil ILER PAYNE, CLASS PROPHET Alas! l am the prophet of the class of '49.
