I . 05:2 Qnoatllg CVHLAAQCQ: bu .Santana Looking back over the four years to the' time when we entered Reitz as green freshmen, our minds are filled with many happy memories. We'll miss the early reville for first period and the rail during lunch periods. We'll miss the beginning of school in September and the eager waiting for the program cards, to only be dismayed-another fifth lunch period. The banging and kicking of lockers and the rush for assembly when the five bells ring. And how about the funny sight of umbrellas hanging out of lockers on rain days? The lunch line too tl guessj will also be missed. Maybe two deserts will be allowed next year. No more teasing of ,monitors and no more Fridays for Newsweek and Time. We'll miss those cold and thrilling football games and corny jokes in The Mirror. Hey! We won't be able to pass out our activity tickets either but will that keep us from spilling coke on someone at a basketball game? But seriously wasn't it fun to go to school, even if the lesson wasn't prepared? We've had a swell group of teachers to work with. They helped us enormously and teacher, we won't throw that eraser again. Pardon us if we acted child- ish at times and thanks to Mr. Plumb, Mr. Pierce, Miss Eblen and all faculty members for being so kind and gener- ous to us during these past four years. We hate to leave but all good things must come to an end. The staff of the Mirror wishes to say good-bye and wish good luck to the Mirror staff of '46-47. Good luck to the senior class of 1947 and so-long! QTL entenecl in cllilan ---- The way we figure it, the class of 46, which is temporarily in the diploma receiving line, has out- lived more sufferings and gyra- tions than any other graduating class in the Reitz high school. We have conscientiously crammed and doggedly racked our brains with inspiring wisdom for four years and we feel that under the extreme difficulties we have undergone and survived along with our learning, a showdown of some kind should duly be credited us. The main discord of our Reitz life was due to the fact that it was spent in a war-time atmosphere. New principles, standards, and ideals had to be accepted imme- diately without student consulta- tion and normal time conditions and traditions were readily squelched. Between Mobilization Day and V-J Day, restriction was at its peak. With every sitting of the draft aclluatccll in Cpeace board, the feminine element at Reitz could be almost observed as a school slowly evolving into a girls' finishing school. Encounter- ing shortages of fuel, food, cars, paper, metal and even teachers, made life almost unliveable, but the man shortage caused the greatest degree of discontent and efforts of substitutions were prac- tically futile. After considering all these un- pleasant disturbances, our happy existence was far from paralized. We will have to admit, we loved it alll With shining eyes and hope- ful asperations, we enter upon a world that we trust may be devoid of war and shortages caused by war. However, we urge the under- classmen to blissfully appreciate the abundance and happiness which manifests peacetime high school life. BETH SEILER.
