Class Histor Forty one green Sophomores peer wonderingly around as they enter Senior High. If they have any ideas of running the show these ambitions are soon banished as the Seniors take the iledglings down a notch. The Seniors are pretty good artists and the Sophs begin to take on the appearances of green-eyed monsters and Draculas. Initiation ends with the Seniors giving a peace offering in the form of a dance in honor of the full- fledged Sophs. From then on things run smoothly. Winter, spring, and the Hop.

Trees bud, grass shoots up, flowers bloom, birds come back, and spring envelopes all. What a glorious feeling it is to watch nature come to life. Sudden life is also trans- fused into the Seniors as they see graduation loom up in front of them. A surge of excitement sweeps through them as they suddenly realize that high school is soon to become a thing of the past. The days begin to drop off one by one. Exams are taken, there are rehearsals for the coming event, and then, suddenly, it is all over. It happened fast and painlessly. They walk out with a sense of freedom, tingled faintly with sadness. Finis coronat opus. Twenty four
