ANY years have gone by. a middle aged man slams the door of the door of his oflice, stumbles into a chair, and nervously raps his fingers against the desk in front of him. Drawers are heard banging as he tries to put his office in some semblance of orderf His hands happen to rest on a brown leather book. Realizing what it is he sinks back in his chair. lt is just what he needs-to lose himself in the past. He has found the record of his class at school. He repeats the name as he leafs through the book, and the vibrant force behind the words. Sunny Hills, takes hold of him as it did so many times in the past. He reads the prophecy, the message, and then turns to the class will, how serious it had all seemed then. We the class of '46,, challenge those who will carry on without us, and hereby collectively perform the last of many good deeds for the beneht of the juniors. We bequeath freely and without reservation our most prized qualities and possessions in a general wish that they may in some way approach the heights of the class of '46,. Sally Schoeffel leaves her life down at the barn together with a complete set of instruction in animal husbandry to Nancy Pearson who will most certainly assume her new role with much gusto. To Jeannie tlewett, .Sally leaves her might in the field of sports, and to Sunny Hills she leaves her art. Dick Johnson leaves Doug Wilsoia some solemn advice, declaring, No man in his right senses will danceu. He then silently gives Tennessee a copy of his latest literary effort, Forty W'inks on the Sly , or How to sleep in study hall with your eyes open . Bobby Lloyd comes rushing in at the end of the year to leave her acting and all that goes with it to Gretchen. Also to Gretchen is left Lee Ann's sweet manner, and love of dancing. Bill Robinson leaves his ears to anyone who wants them and offers them as a solution to the aviation engineer's dream of a flying wing . Laura Garcia and Pat each reluctantly part from the care of l?ottie's Boys , and Jeanny,s Girlsv respectively. They leave their task to Pat Tiffany and Shirley Smith, knowing of the children,s devotion to those two. Marylee leaves her fast-increasing grey hairs to Pearson. Alf then dumps his army-lifev, bugle, and his Q'Anything I can do? spirit on Tennessee who will most certainly Q'Rare back and pass a miracleu.

ARLY on the morning of May the sixteenth, amid farewells and bon voyages, the members of the senior class gathered in front of Stephen May for the long awaited senior t1'ip. Wfith suit cases piled high, we rolled down the lane and proceeded in the general direction of the Capital. Upon our arrival in the city of Xvashington we were impressed by the huge white marble buildings and the wide boulevards lined with trees. We established ourselves at the Plaza Hotel from which we later set out to see the sights. As we made our way to the capital building we admired many large imposing structures such as the Pan American Building, the Department of Interior, and the Department of Commerce. In the Capitol we visited the Senate and the Houae of Representatives, and then went to see the Supreme Court Building. In the Congressional Library, the Shakespearean Library, and the Smithsonian Institute, we spent many enjoyable moments seeing a variety of interesting exhibits. We were enchanted by the scenic beauty of Mt. Vernon, Wfashing- ton's palatial home which is located on a high hill gradually sloping down to the dark Waters of the Potomac. We leisurely wandered over the pebbled paths and through the colorful garden, at the corner of which stood the quaint two desk school houfze. Here in these historic surround- ings it was easy to visualize our forefathers struggling on a math problem or diagramming a sentence. Because this reminded us of school and because we had much to accomplish we moved on. Next we drank our lill of the exquisite estate of Robert Lee. The mansion, better known as Custis I-Iouse, is a large yellow stucco building with huge columns following the usual plan of a southern, ante-bellum home. Other places of interest we visited were the Mellon Art Gallery, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Ii.B.I., the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and Arlington Cemetery. Wfe left Wfashington and set out for Xvilliamsburg via the Sky Line Drive. En-route we made a brief stop at Richmond, during which we visited the capital of the state of Virginia, the Valentine Museum and the John Marshall I-Iouse. Before beginning our IOUI' of the reconstructed town of Wfilliams- bu,-g WC Went to the craft house to purchase the necessary tickets in order to see the restoration. , i A
