th Senior History l; ?Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong; For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years; Anal the smile that is worth the praise of the earth Is the smile that comes through tears? 0 it is with the Senior Class of 730. Our trials and troubles, heartaches and sorrows, joys and pleasures have all been met and overcome with the same ever-trusting smile. Four years ago, we entered Russell High as freshmen. We did not realize just what high school life meant, if it would be a successful one. We envied the classes above us for the simple fact that it seemed- such a very long time before we would be able to obtain the title Which we so longed forethat of a Senior. But since obtaining this title seemed such a wonderful inspi- ration, we worked all the harder in order to reach our goal. When we became sophomores. we began to have a different feeling, since we were above some- one else; but with this we would not be satisfied. We had heard it was great to be a junior. Upon becoming juniors, we began to look back over the past two years of our high school life and to recall just what it would mean if we were to attain our highest ambition, As our fourth and last year of high school approached, the dawn of a new day broke before us and we realized that our most coveted desire, which until now seemed almost like a dream, had been a successful one. We were seniors7 the class of 30. During our four years of high school, several of our class, by some mishap or other, fell by the wayside, but upon consolidation of Fulton County Schools, many were added to the class, making it the largest that Russell High had ever had. Then together we, who are now known as the tlDignified Seniors? pushed our way on through the line of battle, determined to win in the end. As seniors. we have tried to make for Russell 3 name of which she can boast. We have tried to let the thought that we were the leaders of almost; all the various organizations and school activities guide us in our actions. Although we have had many a hard task in mastering foreign languages, learning the deeds and progress of men of years ago in history, solving problems in mathematics and other seeming hardships, we have, nevertheless, enjoyed many of our activities. Our athletics have been years of splendid work on the field and we rejoiced in the losses as well as the victories. Since the beginning of the honor roll, its list has swelled to a much larger number each year, and although our studies, at times, seemed hard the appearance of the honor roll showed that the difficulties were met and overcome. We are a class which has been able to watch our yearbook in its progress from the beginning. From the time of the publication of the first volume, we have been interested in the one thing which shows the efforts we have put forth and the experiences that only we, as seniors, can relate. To this school project we have ever been faithful and hope to see, as we depart from our beloved Alma Mater, its continuance and improvement in the years to come. If we have not been entirely successful in what we have attempted, we hope that our followers will continue to uphold the name of our Alma Mater and fearlessly endeavor to make our dreams real. We wish to express our appreciation to our superintendent, principal, teachers, and fellow students for the co-operation they have given in making possible our happiness and our prosperous school career. We do not feel that during the past four years we have made any unusual accomplishments which we should anibitiously display, but we do lay hold to the fact that we have strived unceas- ingly and hope that the classes which will follow us will find the things that we have started as only a basis for a greater class in themselves.
