S we walk do i r wn Harbaugh Street, a large brick building covered with ivy, comes into view. A new, a 'bewildered feeling invades us. We are entering a time in our lives more important than most of us realize. It is a time of decision. From our first year in Sewihi, we are asked the puazling question, What do you intend to do we try to find the For most of us, after you graduate? and answer. ninth grade is our first year in S. H. S., and we have many questions. Un- usual schedules and lockers, going to the wrong class, and faces lighting up-gym classes where we couldn't get into the rings-all in all we had fun as freshmen. We shall call our nrst year the year of adjustment. As we approac find that we have ing vacation and la our Sophomore year we ,regained consciousness dur- lare ready to get back on schedule. This yiear brings Spanish - El Espanol - and th conjugations. Cou bse first, second, and third ld we forget -those exciting Biology classes! Remember the day for dis- secting live frogs. We inserted the needle in poor little Maggie's head, thinking she was dead, but to our s still very gay and urprise she wasn't. She was began hopping around the floor, and Mr. W-gilson shouted, Catch your frog before 'he gets out into the hall. We met that f bulous character Caesar, Who loves who a d why? along with many other questions. By now we are well acquainted with the activities, teachers, and rules. Just think only two more years to go! We hope! ? Then we were Juniors, with many responsi- bilities placed on our shoulders. Girls, do you recall the typing classes with Miss Andrews- drill a, s, d, f, etc.,land the talk of sixty words a minute. The more we thought of it, the more discouraged we became. Will any of 'us forget the Junior Prom? Prom Committee a to make it a succ with many balloo The Junior Essay gest happenings or Many of us were on the d worked many long hours ss. We decorated the gym s, crepe paper, and flowers. riting was one of the Abig- the year's work - trying to decide which w uld be the easiest topic. In October our fai-th-ful librarian left us, for which we were all sorry. Lillian Wharrey presented lass Ilatsturp Mrs. Carter with a lovely watch, the gift of the whole school. We must not forget the Cory vs. Sewickley Football Game at Cory, and, I might add, as usual - raining and very cold. The score was 0 - 0. Oh, what a game! At last, -we have reached our goal: now we are proud to say that we are the Senior Class of 1948. These four years that we have spent within the walls of S. H. S. have been 'happy days, although discouragement and sorrow were with us at times. Remember P. O. D. class and those arguments? The English class where Hamlet was present-Question for discussion: Was Hamlet Mad???? Mr. Bolin's Chemistry class comes into sig-ht. Those seats! and when you begin to climb, it makes you feel as if you are nearing heaven and really d'on't have far to go. But what im- presses you most are Mr. Bolin's jokes which brighten Chemistry class to nearly the peak of fame. Then you are ready to begin on Hf'SO', mixing elements, making Mr. Bolin's favorite perfumee- Hydrogen Sulflde. breaking test tubes and dashing up street to buy new ones, practically forcing 'the whole school to wear gas masks to keep from being suffocated while we make chlorine gas. Oh, that football game, Cory vs. Sewickley. in which in the last quarter of the game, Cory scored. We might also add that fit rained cats and dogs, but did not ruin th-e spirit of the players nor the students! Do you remember those iMusic Festivals when the joyous Glee Clluibbers did their best to entertain the entire school? Then as every year, the Prom came near and talk of it was continually buzzing around, The Prom Com- mittee worked very hard, and we seniors really appreciated everything. It has been said that all good things must come to ian end: we are sorry to say that we must leave. Graduation and receiving diplomas are nice, but as we think of leaving for good, I know we all wish we had it to do over again. Remember the Bible verse which applies to our S. H. S., Keep us ever faithful in our service. We wish we may carry this always, everywhere in the ways we go from now on. S. L. S. '48 l l l 1 l l i l l l Twenty-five
