The Scarlet and Black History of Class of 1955 One day as I was idly browsing about, I came upon my little memory book. I slowly turned the pages, and to my surprise I came upon a picture of the freshman class of 1931. It recalled to my memory the first day of high school. I pictured to myself a group of happy, expectant freshmen, already looking forward with anticipation to the happy days ahead,end eager to begin the long climb which ends for some of us tonight. After we had become accustomed to the new routine, the locks, and the unmerciful razzing of the upper-classmen, we settled down and decided we would have to organize, and on the second page of my book I found a picture of our offi- cers, elected at our first class meeting. They were: Bill Coleman, President, Olive Blakeney, Vice-Presidentgand Ella Andersen, Secretary. Turning the page, I saw a picture of the Science Club which was organized October 16, 1931, and also a picture of the cast of the Science Club play, entitled nAn Economical Boomerang,n which took place January 20, 1952. I slowly turned the next page, wondering what I would find. Why, of course, the freshman initiation. How we had dreaded it, but we cheerfully and optimistically survived the most difficult tasks, secretly resolving to take re- venge at the first opportunity which was afforded us. This ended the activities during our freshman year,and we were proud in the knowledge that we could look back with satisfaction upon our many accomplishments. We returned happily to school on e bright,sunshiny day in early September, attempting to impress the freshmen with our superiority. The first page in my memory book for this year showed a picture of our newly elected class officers. They were: Davidene Clemens, Presidentg Robert Dorrell, Vice-President, Jack Thompson, Secretary. This page also contained our class colors which are blue and silver, our flower, forget-me-not, and our motto, 'A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.n Continued on Page32 Page Twenty-one
