mica Qfdelcwq In September, 1938, most of the members of the class of '50 toddled off to school for the first time, eager to learn the three Ft's , but more especially to find out what the older children were doing. Once we had entered the portals we discovered we must continue to go day after day without much change of routine for six years. Then we were confronted with the thoughts of a new world opening up to us again-junior high school. It took us some time to adjust ourselves because everything was different, every class room had a new teacher, all about us were new faces, but gradually we became accustomed to all this confusion . Now as we look back, we feel we could never forget those cherished memories, our new friendships we made, our assemblies, movies, dances, parties, and above all, that freshman prom. Finally the day that we had all been looking forward to had arrived -we were sophomores and could enter the senior high school. Before long, however, we could not understand why we had been so anxious. As freshmen, we ran the school, but we soon learned, as sophomores, we were at the bottom again. We must remain seated while the seniors were dismissed from assem- bly, we must stand back until the seniors had a drink at the fountain. Never- theless, school spirit and class pride were developed and we were soon con- fronted with the fact that we were juniors. We had so many new activities we had not thought of before. We will never forget that magazine sale and how we struggled to go over the top , then the Christmas party and oh, that Iunior Banquet and Prom. How we loved it and how the sophomores envied us. As we entered school September 6, 1949, no one really took the time to think that this was the finale. Many of those every day faces would be gone forever but would always linger in our memory. We were the big wheels now, but we roamed the halls with a little more dignity than in previous years. Ocassionally we offered helpful advice to misguided sophomores, and welded the student body into a single unit, working for the good of the school and the students. We worked at the refreshment stands, sold peanut brittle, and Christ- mas candy, to show our loyalty to R. H. S., even though we did not want to do it. Then came our Variety Show and the Senior Class Play, and finally our Banquet and Commencement. These were all just a normal course of events that belonged to the senior year, to us then. But now, that we have finished our work in dear old Rochy High, how we cherish all those happy moments, and, as the years pass, we shall always remember the friendships we have made and the things we have learned and the spirit we devloped in good old Rochester High School. 19
