SesUoAA, History of the Class of ’45 IN the fall of 1041. ninety three students, the largest Freshman class to enroll in Sheridan High School, entered with the thought in- mind of being the largest to graduate. With Mr. Wait! as our able sponsor for the next four years, we began with our Freshman year with hopes and unlimited enthusiasm. But we. like the usual run of Freshmen, failed to accomplish anything of major importance, since the task of becoming adjusted excluded other interests. As Sophomores, we were taken in stride by the upper classmen, but we were not to be recognized by anv spectacular accomplishment; only the sense of our own self-importance made us sure that we would strike a different note in our next two years and as Juniors, we struck that note when we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom at the Riviera Club in Indianapolis- But to compensate for the three years of inactivity, our first project, after being labeled Seniors, was to set up an efficient organization for the publication of a Yearbook, the school’s first for many years. This task was accompanied and resulted in a complete publication, despite the lack of experience and first hand advice. The Senior Play entitled, “The TANGLED YARN.” was a great success and drew the 'argest crowd and totaled the largest receipts of any play ever produced in the Sheridan School. Miss McGinley directed the play. Another successful financial effort was the sale of magazines subscriptions, which netted us an even larger amount of money. To climax a most successful year, Dr. Clement.T. Malan, State Supt. of Public Instruction, delivered the class address, which ushered the class into the proverbial School of Hard Knocks.” —8—

GIgaa a, There are eight grades in elementary school and four in high school. All are of equal importance for it is in the first grade that the child learns the very beginning of education; while it is in the Senior Class that the student realizes the meaning and reaps the full benefit of the years he has spent under its influence. Eight years of elementary learning; four years of secondary study; altogether twelve years of building citizenship; learning discipline, solf-government, and the rights of others as individuals. The years of athletics, social activities, freindships, competition for scholastic records, are all too soon memories; but they are memories to be trade sacred through little reminiscenes and “remember whens.” There are twelve years of school; but it is not “just school.” It is the beginning of one’s life, and to some, graduation is the ending; but here are always those memories that bless and burn.
