Twenty-eight ORIES UF THIRTY-NINE E THE Another year, another Senior class, and-another class history. Four years ago we entered the halls of Sewihi, some of us bewildered, others more sure of ourselves, but all with great expectations of the years of high school life that lay before us. Our first days in school we will never forget. They meant lost schedules and wrong rooms. We just couldn't understand how the Seniors found time to leisurely stroll through the halls and stop and talk with others, when we dashed madly about and still got to class late. It wasn't long before we attended our first assembly program. Thereafter followed many interesting hours in the auditorium, many of which were the pep-meetings. All during the fall, football was the main topic of sports conversa- tion. Came the Christmas holidays. The school's Christmas spirit was shown in the many home-room parties and a beautiful chapel program. Who will forget the Carni- val held here in the spring? We freshmen found that when the students of Sewihi set out to do something, they make a success of it. With March came the great flood. No lights, students absent from school: then the gym team exhibition for the benefit of flood relief: all were part of a trying time. Other things we will remember from our Freshman days are the fire-drills, our first six weeks tests, the trips we took: Civics classes to the Filtration Plant and Science classes to the Ice Plant and to the Automo- bile Company, and finally, in June, the realization that one year of high school had quickly passed by. As Sophomores, we thought we were grown up. Now we were part of Senior High and we entered the building by the side door and had lockers and classes on the third floor. This year our number was increased with students from Edgeworth. Uppermost in our mind were our debates for Public Speaking. Anticipation was not of the joyous kind: but when our turn came, we found they were not so bad after all. Extra vacation! Two whole weeks! The scarlet fever epidemic closed the schools, the theatre, and the library. Many of us will never forget ball games in English classes, dissection in Biology, school election day, and our decisive football victories over Bellevue and Cory this year, With our Junior year came these thoughts. High school half over: what should our plans for the future be? We were really becoming part of the school. Our class was ably represented in all fields of athletics, in exchange programs, Forensic, school plays, and other activities. The weeks we spent working on our Junior Essays were marked with zest, really, and the task was finished before we knew it. Football fame soared to great heights. Who will ever forget that memorable day of the Beaver game, final 20-l9! We won nearly every game except the play-off for the Championship. But someone had to lose, and Sewickley did, with the good sportsmanship she always displays. This same year we got our class rings. We left school in the spring with a feeling of importance because when we came back we would be Seniors and yet with a feeling of sorrow because three years were behind us, We said goodbye to Mr. Duncan and Mr. Gill and knew we would miss them, but with welcome in our hearts, said hello to Miss Foster, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Dambach. This, our final year, was our year. For awhile it was very strange not to see any Seniors around, but we finally got used to the fact that we were the Seniors, and upon our shoulders rested a great responsibility. This year's Seniors starred in sports. Our football team won the co-championship, They starred in dramatics. Double Door is perhaps one of the greatest plays ever produced by the school. They starred in original ideas and had plenty of zip to put those ideas across. This year brought to us the College Group, the Red Hatters, Let's not- by Mr. Bolin, the Shakespearean Plays, the Pep-o-Meter - events great and small. Events we will never forget because they mean our last and greatest year of high school life. These four years were full: rich in joy, sorrow, glory, and triumph. From here we all shall go on our own way, scattered over the wide world. Probably some of us will never again meet, but we will always be together in our memories of each other and of the hours spent at Sewickley High. M. B.
