There was great preparation and excitement as some new little soldiers were ready to start their preliminary training in grade school. The three R's were the only accomplishment to boast of, but lasting friendships and lasting impressions had been formed in the first six years of training. With their arrival in Junior High School goes a higher rank in school life. Self-government has begun, and subjects of higher educational value are undertaken. Preparation for life's work has begun by being separated into Academic, Commercial, and General Courses in the ninth grade. Senior l-iigh School was looming in the foreground, and beckoning onward all those who dared hope for yet another promotion in their school life. Preliminary training and good foundation work had prepared these soldiers for their role as Sophomores. This, indeed, was a great change, for they lost their exalted positions as ninth graders, and became lowly Sophomores, as they were soon put in their place by the Seniors. By the time they had learned which stairs to use and that Mr. Farley was in command of the high school forces, they were ready to become Juniors. Sitting in the balcony and having a Prom for which to work, added in- terest to the Junior year. All details were dispatched with an effort and a smile and as tradition goes, as Juniors, they gave the Prom, but it wasn't just traditional, it was special. They had reached their goal for that year, and had done the task well while striving toward it. The Senior year was the last in which the class could show its worth. The most was made of this opportunity. A championship football team and the highest candy selling record are ample proof. There have been many ups and downs in our high school years, but as Seniors, we look back and feel that we have learned something from every experience to fit us better for the battles, the victories, and the defeats of life.
