CLASS HISTORY A fragrant evening in May. A 1940 Port High senior, during an evening stroll, paused in front of the high school building. Turning to get a full view of the school, he leaned back against a tree as he gazed reflectively at the scene . . . and beyond that to the stars.

The senior gave a start. His reverie was over. Tomorrow everything would be over. Tomorrow he would be a Youngest Living Graduate. Tomorrow 1940 was to separate to the four winds, never to completely reassemble. Slowly and a bit sadly the senior made his way down the street, toward his future and that of 1940. 25
