Senior Class History In the fall of '39, twenty eager girls and boys entered school for the first time. At first we were a bit awkward and shy but we soon became settled to our new life. After eight long years of hard work and new students joining our class, we were ready to bid grammar school adieu. At last we were Freshmen in high school. We were no doubt green to the upper classmen but we knew we were willing and eager to become adjustedto the rules and ideas of being in high school. By now we numbered a half-hundred strong. To the upperclassmen we may have appeared tobe silly Sophmores, but at least we no longer looked upon high school with fear. Replacing our fear was the deter - mination to climb upward on the ladder of success. The fall of '50 brought us together again as Juniors. We were now upper class - men with many new events awaiting us. First was the Junior Play, One Foot in Heaven.'' Working on it was quite a new and exciting experience to us. Due to the help of Mrs. Sigmon we changed from struggling amateurs at first rehearsal to con- fident actors the night of the play. Next was the most exciting of all, the Junior- Senior Banquet. We used the theme, ''Garden of Friendship.'' Tired but happy, we put on our new evening dresses, took the arm of our favorite boyfriend and went off to the banquet. After all of our hard work we were very delighted to hear a number of people say ours was the nicest banquet at Rock Springs in a long time. Now we are Seniors with thirty-seven in number. The first real incident that made us realize we were Seniors was the privilege of occupying the front seats in Chapel. Then came the election of the 'ROSPHIAN Staff. Those people, when elected, were proud of the honor but didn't know exactly what they were infor. Soon they found out with the many afternoons, and some nights, of hard work. With the cooperation of everyone the Annual was a success. Following next was our Senior Play, 'Seventeenth Summer. '' It too meant a lot of hard work but everyone knows how much fun there is to be had during play prac- tice. Our Senior parties started early in the-year with the first one being given by Mr. and Mrs. Little. We, the Seniors, wish to express our appreciation to them for the wonderful time we had at the class party. As the Annual goes to press we still have two of our greatest events of Senior yearto lookforward to - the Junior-Senior Banquet andgraduation. Judging from the marvelous time wehad lastyear, our Banquet just has to be asuccess thisyear. And as for graduation, if most of our thirty-seven in number obtain their diplomas, then our graduation will have been a success. These years together have produced many memories and these memories will linger on. It is with deepest gratitude we express our thanks to our parents, to our teachers, and to our principal, for the many efforts in helping us to reach this goal of success. May we always live up to our class motto, Not for ourselves, but for all. Frances Ann Little Historian
