T H E 1 9 3 9 SENIOR HISTORY NVE CAME. VVe saw. Dare we say we conquered? And, now, we are leaving. VVrithing under the supercilious stares of the lofty Seniors and Juniors, we entered into the life of Senior High three years ago. We saw the value of a fine scholastic record, and now the membership rolls of the Circle bear our names. Our literary and executive abilities led us into work on the Port Light and Port Weekly, both of which we dominate now. We joined many clubs, and endured their mortify- ing initiations. Our musicians have worn the blue and white band coats and caps, or have wielded a bow in the orchestra at the contests in the past few years, and they have helped to win the medals, cups, and unexcelled ratings of these organizations. Some have lent their voices to the sacred chants of the Choir, or to the large and varied repertoires of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. Those of us with histrionic ability have stood before the auditorium footlights many times. We won the Inter-class Play Contest last year with The Obstinate Family, executed many fine characterizations in the larger productions, and of course form the majority of Red Domino members. Our stalwart athletes have time and again come off victorious in the fray, be it on the football or baseball field, the basketball court, or the track. Our Amazons, too, have come off with honors for their skillful handling of paddle, racket, bow, stick, and a variety of balls. VVe, who were the first class to take upon ourselves the responsibilities and pleasures of such social activities as roller-skating parties, tea dances, and class ex- cursions, have continued this policy through the years. Successfully piloted through this ycar's activities by Peggy Stephenson and genial Mr. Scherer, we opened Port's social events with the Senior Ball, threw a masquerade in December, and finished up with the Senior Banquet. And now we are leaving. We've had a grand time at Port, and have profited much from these three years. But as we look back regretfully on the new Gym floor Qwe wish we could wear it down ourselvesj, the inevitable snowball fight in the eourt-yard, the Christmas tree in the cafeteria, and Mr. Scherer's begonias, we look forward. too, ready to take what comes and do our best with it, in the future.
