SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS JUNE 2, 1950 . . . GRADUATION DAY! T TOW LONG it seemed when, as freshmen, we - ■ looked forward to the four glorious years ahead of us. Now, looking back, it seems like yesterday when we bravely entered the strange building that was to become so familiar. Isn't it strange that a day in the future seems such a distant goal, and a day in the past seems so near? Perhaps that is what makes memories so close that it is possible to relieve them. Our days were full and the strangeness soon passed. We were proud to bring recognition to our class by winning the first magazine sales contest. The upper classmen passed it off by saying, The freshmen usually win . . . they're so eager.” We vowed to ourselves that we would always be eager and always get what we went after. I believe we have kept this vow. We have won the other three maga- zine sales, had nearly a full house at both of our plays, and have been quite successful in the conces- sions. We had our share of fun too. Remember the freshman hayride and the smart boy who tried to open the pop on a fence post? The Sophomore ban- quet was fun with the Valentine theme and the Square Dancing. The Junior-Senior Proms were wonderful nights and the height of our high school years. The Weekly Tiger, concerts, parties, dances, and picnics helped occupy our time. The remainder of our time we spent on Math, English, History and Science. Now we come to the Senior farewell assembly, Baccalaureate and Commencement. Most of us will soon be on our own. Our care-free days of high school will be gone and all that will be left is mem- ories. For these we wish to thank the Board of Edu- cation, Mr. Shaffer, and the faculty. We offer special thanks to Mr. McKinty for the great amount of extra time and effort he has put in as our class advisor. 15
