Emma Ruth Darden, editor-in-chief of the SENIOROGUE, and Miss Holleman, one of the best of teachers and counselors, glittered in the Coronet too. The coming and going of the football and basketball seasons found it almost time to close its picturesque pages. The Red Raiders on roll: Richard Siler, Herman Kennedy, B. J. Daurity, Billy Phillips, Harold Wicker, Junior Presnell, Emily Carter, Lydia Moody, Janice Alexander, lmojean Presnell, and Doris Davis. All added 'tFinis to their brilliant school career in sports. The Junior-Senior Banquet, splendid and impressive, made the seniors realize that their pageant at S. C. H. S. was almost done. Then deliriously following, the Senior Play was selected, practiced, given. Slowly, but steadily, the calendar was losing its days. The Recessional at the graduation wasn't unlike the procession years before- except this night, caps and gowns and diplomas and dignity replaced ignorance and pep and self-importance, for the Crusaders knew that soon they would shed their caps, roll up their sleeves, and take Knowledge to penetrate the Hunpene- trablei' darkness of the Future-a big and serious undertaking even for the cru- saders. The pageant has wound itself through another volume of history. Examina- tions are overg Life has begun. They say that history repeats itself. I can't help but wonder if the next crusade-not through the halls of S. C. H. S., but through the corridors of Time-will be more beautiful, more dynamic than this? Who dares to set a limit to the possibilities of an illimitable Future? MARGARET SELF, Class Historian. dull! The sunset's gone, the dawn now nears, Just yesterday, those twelve long years! We workedg we tried, and now it's done, We've labored hard, but it was fun. The path along the way was lined With white and red, for soul and mind. If the future path is black or gray, Turn it into a brighter way. If cloudy, clear away the cloud, Be worth the pride if you are proud, The future holds for us great things, Time is a servant, use what it brings Look ahead! Weep not o'er scars To make it written in the stars. Accomplishments-That's a sign That we're the class of 49. DoRIs DAVIS-Class Poet. 17
