Well, here at last is the year we've been struggling to reach. For the first time in our high school years we didn't gain or lose any students so there are still twenty-three of us. We will have the largest graduating class in the nine -years' history of our school. Choosing our officers, we elected: President, Ronnie Guseg Vice-President, Bill Baumgardt: Secretary, Dale Haynesg Treasurer, Marylin Morgan: Reporter, Marilyn Cockrellg and Mr. I. W. Vance was our sponsor. On October 31, Smith's Studios took our Senior pictures. Our sources of money this year came from a chili supper and a steak supper. We also presented a Senior play entitled Mumba Jumbo which was direct- ed by Mrs. Mary Smith. Baccalaureate was held in the school gymnasium on Sunday, May 13, and Commencement on Wednesday, May 16. Our speaker for Commencement exercises was Professor C. E. Dammon. On our Senior trip we took an eight-day trip to the east. We went through Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to New York City where we spent two days. From New York we went into Canada, and then came home through Detroit, Michigan. We have had a wonderful time trying to be Seniors and as our journey now ends, we will always look back to dear old Shadeland High with many fond memories. Deeds of Today The only time we have to use is Furnished by today: We must not waste while moments flee, For time does not delay. The hours of day are given once, So we mu t be prepared To use our talents for the best, No effort must be spared. When door of day is closed by night, And darkness hides the sun, We then may count the pleasures Gained from deeds which were well done. --Everett W. Hill 23
