gjteaidentg ogdcliem The class of 1948 has come to the end of its high school days. For many years we have sat where you are sitting now and watched other classes re' view their years at Proctor High School. Now, it is our turn! It is with mingled feelings of happiness and regret that we are assembled -tegret, because our high school days are over We have worked and layed together as a group for four years; we have had our ups and downs, lljaut as we think back over those years. we have only pleasant memories of our school days. So it is with a feeling of sorrow that we leave our Alma Mater. Youth lows adventure and we are looking forward to the future. This commencement, or new beginning, is the start of our adventure. For twelve years we have been preparing for it. Some of us will go on to college, others will enter business; but whatever we do, we hope we will be a credit to Proctor High School. . As we are about to take our place among the alumni, it is Fitting that we pay tribute to our parents, who made our education possible, and to the members of the faculty, who have worked patiently with us. To them and to all who have helped us on our way, we extend a grateful HThank You. BRUCE CURTIS Cfam 50?? lTo the tune of Now Is CH1: Haur'?

Filled with the joys of every high school day. dgtii 17305331 OUR FAREWELL TO YOU We stand here now before you, We have come to the end of the trail Now we must board the ship of life, As into the world we will sail. 'Twas only four short years ago That our course was gaily set; It led us into Proctor High, And many friends there we met. We worked our very hardest, And we always tried our best. We also had games, plays, and proms We entered with spirit and zest. 50 parents. Friends. and teachers, We stand at the goal we have gained For now we have to sayr farewell, Our journey is done, the summit attained. BEVERLY Bacon:
