Still we got along admirably as we were beginning to acquire that self reliance and independence which is characteristic of all Juniors. We worked with such a will and so much zest that we would have passed our Chrismas holidays in the class rooms had Mr. Bagby not re- minded us that such an act would be impossible. Then after our return to school came the mid-year examinations, which were our joy and de- light. After examinations, most everyone thought of a nice long rest, but no such fate, for the dramatic talent among our members. Several weeks of hard practice and “Clarence Decides” was given. Everyone in school cecided that the play was realistic and the acting superb. Then we dreamed of one grand night of fun and merrymaking, the night of the Junior-Senior banquet, which came and was gone, but it left a sweet remembrance which can never be erased from our memories. Chapter IV. When school opened on September 13, 1927, we found ourselves ““dignified?”” Seniors, who were ready for hard work. Our class had decreased through the loss of Helen Royer, Elizabeth Lowrey, and Robert Musgrove, but had increased by the addition of Margaret Casey, Francis Downey, Tempy Trevy, Henry Amole, Homer Lackey. One of the first things we did as a class was to order our rings. They were very pretty, and everyone seemed to like them. The interesting events that happened during our Senior year were numerous. On December 7, we gave one of our Senior plays, “Seventeen.” This play was a great success and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The-next thing we knew after Christmas holidays we were taking examinations— and for quite a while, everyone was busy studying. No more movies, parties, etc, until after examinations, but everyone passed all right, and we started the second semester with more determination than ever. In March the high school gave a minstrel which was a roaring suc- cess—and after this was over the whole school was kept in suspense, waiting for the school inspectors to come, but when they did come, it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. In May we gave our second Senior play—‘Help Yourself.” This play was entirely different from any play that has been given by this school, but everyone enjoyed it very much. Then Commencement! Just think, our his school days are all over, but they have been happy ones, and we all ha to leave. L928 Page nineteen
