Senicva 61444 Jf' It was in September, 1939 that we were all waiting for the big day-our first day of school. This was the beginning of the twelve years that we were to look back upon as the best years of our lives. After the first week of school we soon got used to the daily routine of getting up early and doing homework. It wasn't long until we worked ourselves up to the sixth grade and were pre- paring ourselves for the grand entrance into junior high. Here, most of us started dating and attended our first prom. We had a lot of fun, and it was really something different to change classes. By the time our ninth grade commencement rolled around, we really thought we were wheels, The following fall we found ourselves in the senior high school. We also found that we weren't the wheels, but only the spokes in the wheel. It seemed that everyone looked up. to the seniors and looked down upon us sophomores. It didn't take us long to learn to respect the upper classmen and to move away from the fountain when a senior wanted a drink, or to remain seated in assemblies while the seniors were dismissed. The next thing we knew we were juniors. And oh, that magazine sale! We also put on the junior class play, as a means for making funds for our anticipated prom and banquet. Of course, our class wanted to be different and so we changed many things. For instance, our class was the first to invite other schools to our parties, the first to have a girl president, the first to elect all girl officers. We also renewed the practice of the open prom. Then we became seniors. At last we were on top again, as in our freshman year. We were the ones who were dismissed first from the assemblies and We told the sophomores to please remove their anatomy from the drinking fountain. In- stead of hurrying around through the halls trying to find the right room, we were guiding and helping the sophomores. We soon taught them that it was their duty to show the seniors the proper respect. High on our list of cherished memories will be banquets, class plays, high school dances, pep meetings, basketball games, football games, and the big snow of 1950. Now that our work is finished, we bid a sad adieu to dear old Rochy. 17
