FROM FRESHMEN TO SENIORS We are Seniors — According to the number of years spent in Shields High School, we are old enough to reminisce. We are Freshmen — We are eager, anxious freshmen, eager for all the new experiences in our reach. We gaze at the seniors with admiration and awe. We are Sophomores — We have moved up a step. Each one of us has found his place in the classes and in the extra-curricular activities. We have made friendships which will sure- ly live through the years. The seniors are not nearly so awe-inspiring noiw. We are Juniors — We are no longer termed under-classmen, but Juniors. With the class or- ganized, our dignity is great. We feel that through the years we have learned much wisdom as well as knowledge. The seniors are now our intimate friends, and we are planning to give them the best Junior-Senior Reception ever given. We are Seniors — The years have passed with unbelievable speed. We are enjoying our Senior Class activities very much, but we are not quite so cock-sure of our perfection as we were last year. As we sit here, reminiscing, we realize that we shall often, nostalgically, look back on the years in Shields High School with gratitude to all ■who made those years such pleasant memories.
