I P Seniom R em in Zfrenrer From an opened attic window of the house next door we hear: I want to spend all my days Near you . . Oh, mother, what a laugh the gang would get from that old record! VVhy, Ianie, when I was a senior in high school, that song was the rage. It simply swept the country. UR. H. S. must have been quite different then. No, it was very much the same as it is today. Of course, after nearly twenty-five years some things have changed. Hleepers, but your high school life must have been dull. I should say it was far from being dull. VVC entered the ninth grade with an unusually small class. There is no doubt, though, that we were among the greenest of freshmen. VVe were eager to get to know everyone Raw IIILTTEZVIUI and were quite active in the clubs, war bond drives, plays, and Field Day. When the fall of 1945 rolled around we were overjoyed to lose the iinx of being a freshman to be- come a sophomore. That year, a girl from our class was selected as the 'Snow Queen' in the annual beauty pageant. The football team of R. H. S. had always been among the best and 1945 was no exception. The team marched on victoriously to win the championship. I don't think I shall ever forget that spring day when President Roosevelt died. There were tears in the eyes of almost all of us that sunny morning as we paid tribute to the nation's lost leader. Only a short time later we were iubilant in our celebration of V-E Day, and everyone felt that the days of the Great VVar were almost ended. The world was again at peace when we climbed the eleventh rung of the school ladder to become iuniors. Our class now had leaders in every organization and again the winner of the beauty pageant was a member of our class. For the Iunior- Senior Banquet, we became per- fect ladies and gentlemen and had the time of our lives. Almost before anyone realized it, the year was gone. Carrying the tra- ditional daisy chain, we donned our most serious expressions to usher out into the busy world the largest senior class in the history of Reidsville High School. There were many parties and dances on our social calen- dar. Our favorites were the barn dances, spring formals, and the dances after the football games. Janie, I met your dad at one of those dances. You should have seen us doing the iitterbuglu Gee, I'll bet you were a scream! Well, in spite of our frivoli- ties, we became seniors at last. Everyone was proud of the RENOCAHI, our yearbook, pub- lished by a hard-yvorking annual staff. VVirh great care, the presi- dent of the Student Council, and the May Queen were selected from the senior class. Once again the winner of the beauty pageant was a member of our class. All too soon our high school life came to an abrupt end. On the night of graduation there was a lump in my throat as I realized that it was all over. I knew that from then on I would only be a visitor at good old R. H. S., not one of the laugh- ing students hurrying to class just before the bell. Mother, I've changed my mind about your school life be- ing dull. You know, I believe you had almost as much fun in ! R. H. S. as we have today. Sf ANNE VVILLIAMS, Historian
