This may be I957, and you are siTTing in your rocking-chair remembering old Times. LeT your imaginaTion bring you back To an assembly. Look! A very Tamiliar Tigure is sTanding There. l-le has on a grey suiT and is saying someThing abouT papers on The lawn. Yes, iT's our principal, Mr. Acheson, and we'll always remember oTher Things he said, like sTudy- ing a liTTle harder because we'd never be sorry - ThaT oThers beTore us had regreTTed noT Trying harder Tor beTTer grades. Speaking oT assemblies, does anyone know who was in charge oT Them? IT was Mr. Bradner. Mr. Bradner is a Tamiliar Tigure in some oT our memories. l-le's The Teacher who made our governmenT classes so much Tun wiTh his nice sense oT humor. All The year around you see girls wearing small gold chains around Their necks Trom which hang The class rings oT ThaT special Tellow. BuT even iT The boys don'T geT much chance To wear Their rings, They cerTainly look Trim in Their sweaTers oT '47 over a nice whiTe shirT. These senior sweaTers and rings came early, due To senior advisor Miss Simmons' worry and work. Miss Sheridan's car was seen ouT in The Teachers' parking loT many Times 'Til six o'clock during The prep Tion Tor The Junior STaTesmen ConvenTion - The acTiviTy which she made so successTul during The Con riT' and beTore, when Skip won The NaTional speaking conTesT.

The Rally Commissioner and his commiTTee do Their uTmosT To see ThaT The sporTsmen are baclred by Their school, wiTh The Three girl cheerleaders, who do so much Toward raising The morale oT our Team. Memorable ThoughTs oT our high school career begin aT pre-game rallies. Cur loyalTy and enThusiasm are sTimulaTed by The sTunTs and yells, which puT us inTo The spiriT oT The games. Rallies are loads oT Tun, buT wiThouT The hard worlc oT The Rally Com- miTTee and cheerleaders, They would noT be possible. Equally imporTanT is The Dance Commissioner, who has charge oT all school dances. IT is his duTy To see ThaT The decoraTions are in harmony wiTh The Theme. The responsibiliTies are divided among members oT The commiTTee, who,are responsible Tor geTTing a band, reTreshmenTs, and TiclceTs.
