Class Song TunE To: Now Is The Hour Now is the time Our hearts are growing sad. We must go farther on Without pencil and pad. When we are gone Our class books left to you. We wish you luck and success In all you find to do. Now is the hour When we must leave Rock Springs School. Some may go farther on To learn the Golden Rule. Although we’re away Our memories linger still. We hope that all our dreams Will be fulfilled. NELLIE CAROLINE PERKINS Cass FLOWER CLASS COLORS Violets White and Lavender Crass Motto “Not merely to exist, but to amount to something is life.” (Non est vivere est valere vita)

Senior His tory In spite of the fact that as Grammar Graders, it seemed to us that the eight years required to make us High School Freshmen would never pass; now, as Seniors, it seems almost as if it were only yesterday that forty bright-eyed students entered the first grade. After eight years of study and play we became the green freshmen of 1946-47. No doubt we seemed a bit awkward to the upper classmen; but through guidance from others, and through our own determination, we adjusted ourselves to the new ideas and rules of this more complex world of which we were a part. There were forty-one students in our class at this time. 1947-48—After we had passed through our freshman year we were no longer green at the job, but were ready to take anything that would help us climb the ladder of success. We experienced the change of principals with Mr. H. C. Little replacing Mr. J. E. Ramsey. 1948-49—This year was really exciting. We were no longer youngsters but we, a class of twenty-nine, were juniors. This meant that we would be honoring the Seniors with a banquet. With the able assistance of Mr. and Mrs. George Rodgers our banquet was quite a success. 1949-50—We are now dignified Seniors, nineteen in number. Our Senior Play came first; we hope that we succeeded in making it a play the audience will remember. It was a three-act comedy in which most of the characters were ridiculously funny. Our class has achieved many distinctions in our school career, but we were especially proud that one of our members, Marlene Miller, was chosen Christmas Queen of Rock Springs High School. Now, on the threshold of adulthood, ready for the life ahead of us, we are striving to live up to our motto: “Not merely to exist, but to amount to something in life.” NELLIE CAROLINE PERKINS Historian
