S.U.H.S.Q'58BY1B'X j 19 2 FIRST STEP OF THE LADDER Lo and behold! the Grammar Schools of this vicinity were in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty drained of their knowledge. The students who had partaken thereof were not satis- field with the limited amount they had been able to attain, so in September of the same year this self same group of green but am- bitious seekers after wisdom and knowledge, entered the Selma Union High School where they became known as Freshmen. Jokes and jeers were aimed at this self-conscious but wide-awake group by the upper classmen. But the Freshmen realized that their turn would come some time, so all was well. In spite of this it was hard at times to remember to be high standing lads and lassies, but by the help and encouragement of the faithful foster father, Principal Downey, the first year of the class of '23 was successful, without a doubt. SECOND STEP OF THE LADDER With more knowledge, more wisdom, more ambition, not so much in quantity, but more in qualit.y, the class of '23 entered the second year of their training, under the guardianship of the new, but loved principal. Mr. McKillop. The lower classmen seemed little and insignilicant without any training in this prosperous and well loved Selma Union High. Of course there was pep and fun. Picnics and parties proved it, so all things considered the class of '23 went through the Sopho- more year on ilowery beds of ease. THIRD STEP OF THE LADDER Juniors, and troubles galore! But with the wisdom acquired from two former years of faithful work, the troubles were easily overcome and gazed upon as mere trifles. Ambition was absolutely necessary now, if never before. Cer- tainly it was here, and used to the greatest extent. At one time the class let their temper get the best of them and, provoked by the class ahead, would have been rash, indeed, if just when their temper had attained its highest temperature, that wisest of all persons, Mr. McKillop, had not stretched forth his Twenty-f our

And so the Junior days of the class were ended. FOURTH STEP OF THE LADDER Oh, so soon, the title Dignified Senior has been attained by the victorious class of '23, The four years of faithful work has so soon come to an end. The proud class would shed bitter tears if that would help to bring back the joys and pleasures of the former years in good old Selma Hi. Miss Jensen has been the guardian angel of this class for the two previous yearsg oh, that the class might stay and be guided by that gentle hand another year-but no, the class of '23 has drained the Selma Hi also of its knowledge, and must go elsewhere to attain more. And so we bid you farewell.
