The Senior class contributed six members to the team, indicative of the problems graduation will again bring to the athletic picture.

Features The music in my heart I bore Long aper it was beard no more. Can you, looking into the future, see that these verses may signify the memories of our school days? Can we really believe that these days of laughter and tears will soon be over? These are our days: living in the present, living for things to come, and living for the time when we can look back and cherish our memories. We cried, saddened at the departure of our loved and respected principal, but we were happy for him too. He left to do what he wanted! Can we forget the thrills and excitement of a basketball game, an election or the planning of a dance? The discovery of hidden talent among our class members? All too soon we'll look back and remember when we all crept by the office door to take a peek at our new principal, who has already become our friend. Even yet with Butters within ourselves, do we recall the perplexities which overcame us the day of a test, for we crammed right up to the last minute, and then the waiting in suspense for its outcome! All talk now turns to graduation to which we look forward with feelings of wonder, joy and regret. Wonder at what is to come, joy of class day, graduation and reception, and regret at leaving our friends and good times. I am sure that these memories of our school days will be music in our hearts long after it was heard no more. BARBARA JONES, '51 REMINISCENCES IF YOU LIKE IT If I had the wings of a bird I would soar The weather is perfect for skiing you say? Over the trees to the school house door, It's cold and it's bright and the snow is grade A. To visit again the scenes of old, V Retell the tales so oft been told The landscape is lovely, the air is divine. Of things we did in school years spent, We'll wax up your skiis, but don't touch mine. ,And now long since how much they meant, Recall the pranks of yesteryear You can have your skiing, your skating as well. Of those we loved and held so dear - To me, all these things you just can't sell. Boys and girls who shared our fun - Before we realized our work had begun I, too, love nature, but I must admit, To fit ourselves for the struggle of life, I really don't ski half as well as I sit! And the sorrows and woes of bitter strife. And now if the Lord would but give IO me Of all the winter sports I really admire, The flight and strength of a busy bee, The nicest is sitting at home by the fire! I'd fly straight back to Pembroke shore, EDDIE LEADBETTER, '53 And there I'd stay for evermore! RUTH DONNELL, '55 -l43l
