Loyal were all the teachers, we'll Love them always. Toward new heights Onward we go, School of our youth, Now we must depart. Onward We will strive Witll memories of all, Dear to us always. Each with joy and sadness Now bids fond adieu, 5 46 After Graduation MARY ELIZABETH DELOACI-I When l receive my diploma and depart, I walk slowly for the last time down the stairs Which I have trod a thousand times before In rushing to a class, or leaving school, Until morning comes once more, Eager that time to be down the steps and out the door, For I knew I should return. As I descend now, for the last time, My steps grow slower and falter, Old memories within me swell- A noisy lunchroom, study hall, V The welcome clang of the tapebell. I think of these and hot tears well, But I push them back. And moving on I reach the door, Pausing, just a moment-then Squaring my shoulders, I walk out, And up the walk I halt, And turn aloout, Raise my hand in a salute, And shout Goodbye to Snowdon.

llHllllltl?flIlilllli9llltl?fllilll6llTS SEDTEMBEQ After the usual hectic first two weeks of school, Snowden pupils settled tot least portiallyi into the humdrum groove of school life. There were fewer pupils enrolled this year. The Honor Society elected officers, and the choosing ol the cheer- leaders caused great excitement. Activities were planned for the art classes, under the supervision of Miss Myrtis Smith, and for the music department under Mrs. George Richmond, one of the seven new teachers in the junior high school. Tho Student Government was back on the job with new officers and monitors and Miss Virginia White as adviser. Miss Dorothy Lancaster sponsored the Red Cross and Miss Hazel Hooten the Y-Teens. The very exciting first football game of the season was with Bellevue. ' OCTOBEQ The Chatterbox, which made its first appearance this month, selected Bobby Willis as October's outstanding per- sonality. The Snooper was back at work with all the choicest and juiciest bits of gossip. The library was re-opened with Miss Adelaide Gladden and her stall ready and willing to help all. The football season was well under way. Berl Ols- wanger entertained the pupils roycilly with a concert. The chilly winds of October blew in autumn leaves and report cards, which awakened those still sleepy from the summer. NGVEMBEQ Two events tiod for most important at Snowden this month. One was the visit to school of Iohn tBubbal Brueck, who had been stricken with polio in the summer. The second was the amateur show given by the music department, which gave pleasure to all. The outstanding personality of the month was Ann Mary Derrick. The first honor roll came out with the number of girls surpassing the boys by a surprising margin. DECEMBER Amid the hustle and bustle of plans for the Christmas holidays the cvcnt that outshone all others was the election of the officers of the ninth grade. Harry Estes was the outstanding personality of the month. The football season ended with the annual banquet and the election of the football queen, Billy Young. The Glee Club presented a lovely Christmas program with Mary Elizabeth DeLoach as narrator, loanne Sayre won first prize in the city-wide doll dressing contest. The tran- scription of the Stop, Look, and Live program over WMPS with David Shainberg as master of ceremonies thrilled every- one except lohnny Bowden who could think only ol the twenty- live dollar bond he had just won in the safety essay contest. Darnell Fulgham designed the cover for the new student cli- rectory which expedited telephoning for the social events during the holidays. JANUARY Yawning and groaning, the tired pupils returned to a new year and a new term. Luckily the month was enlivened by several unusual events. lone Flint won third prize in the Fire Prevention Poster contest. One of the friendliest and most at- tractive girls at Snowden, Ruth Boulware, was the outstanding personality of the month. Snowden hearts were filled with pride when a former Snowden pupil, Hilma Seay, was chosen ' a Page Sixteen tDlfEi lll2MLtl5NllQt4J Maid of Cotton. The basketball season started with a thrilling victory over Hollywood. Hist, She's a Man, a play directed by Mr. A. G. Burkhart, was very entertaining. The leading roles seemed to have been written especially for Mary Flor- ence White and R. P. Holt. EEBRUAQY This cold and icy month was filled with many activities. Snowden made another safety broadcast with Bobby Boone as master of ceremonies and Scott Michaels as quiz master. Ethel Harrell won the twenty-five dollar war bond for the best essay on safety. Spelling champion for Snowden was Houston Payne. The student govemment gave a tea dance with iood and fun tor all. Ol interest to all future writers ot Snowden was the journalism clinic. Glenn Walker was February's out- standing personality. MAQCH The winds of March blew in one cl the year's most im- pressive ceremonies. that of the induction of the new members of the National lunior Honor Society. There were twenty-one new members. Work began on the yearbook with ,the selection ot the staft. Martha Lita Gibbs was the outstanding personality of the month. Snowden students heard an excellent program given by the Iunior Red Cross. The basketball season ended with Bobby Peters leading in points. ADRL April Fool's Day and a sudden blooming of daffodils us- hered in the month. This bfought baseball, softball, spring dresses, and spring lever. Snowdenites were either pledging or studying at a terrific pace in a belated attempt to make up for bad grades. Scott Michaels was the outstanding person- ality of tho month. Snowden had twcnty-one representatives in the Latin tournament. Barbara Melton and Ethel Harre'l represented Snowden in a special safety broadcast at WMPS studio. Ethel won another twenty-five dollar bond, as her es- say on safety was the best of all in the junior high schools. MAY The terrible ordeal of final examinations was pleasantly in- terrupted by the Cotton Carnival with its ever new midway and parades. The Snowden float was drawn by ninth grade boys. The senior class play, Life Begins at Sixteen, was given under the direction of Mr. A. G. Burkhart. The greatest surprise of the month was the selection of Mary Kathryne Pitts as the Cinderella oi the Cotton Carnival, under the spon- sorship of the Co-Operative Club. Iohn Dillon was the out- standing personality of the month. The Red Cross party and variety show presented at Kennedy Hospital thrilled the pupils participating as well as the veterans. JUNE The best and briefest month of the school year held many gaities. Kid Day was a success, with dolls, pinafores, and bonnets galore. The Honor Society, graduating class, and the home rooms all had wonderful parties. No one admitted it of course, but it is true that many graduates had a feeling of sadness at the thought of not returning to Snowden next year.
