CLASS SONG Tune--The Marines Hymn There were thirty happy Freshmen In the year of '59. Who started out to-gether, The road of knowledge to climb. The years have passed too quickly, In study and in play, And now we stand on the threshold Of our graduation day. We will always pledge our loyalty To grand old P. H. 8., Her praises now we loudly sing, For we have passed the test. A fond farewell dear Proctor High As we go on our way, To help our country win the fight For Freedom's Victory Day. Faith Broadwell Dale Higbee CLASS COLORS: Blue and Gold CLASS MOTTO: The impOSsible takes but a little longer. CLASS FLOWER: Yellow Rose

CLASS POEM As the pines cast their shadowa dark, Presaging coming night, While, Proctor High, we gather here, Beneath your cupola white; Our thoughts go back o'er four short years, We've spent within your sight. Our teachers here have taught us What we might expect of life, That every rose must have its thorn, And that success crowns strife; The world is what we make it, And trouble now is rife. And now our days with you are o'er; Relentlessly time flies, When coming months stretch into years, We'll come to realize E'en though your classes come and go, Your spirit never dies. Elaine Gilmore

Two weeks after our entrance into High School, along with the new members of the faculty, we were initiated by the Senior Class. The girls wore the usual green bands to signify them as Freshies , while the boys wore a green band around their necks. In the cvening the girls wore boys' trousers inside
