J, 1 ,ny Our senior year--so eagerly antici- pated, so enthusiastically enioyed-was too rapidly completed. Realities only yes- terday are memories today. When we returned to school in August, it was hard to believe we were seniors, but it didn't take us long to get into the swing of things-cheering for our guys at tough football games, hardly realizing it would be their last season. The roar of pep meet- ings in the auditorium, the soft music in the gym after a game, the strains of the band drifting into classrooms the eighth period, the chatter in the cafeteria at noontime, the thoughtful silence in the library when P. D. reports were due, the cheers when the mortgage was burned-these are the con- trasts we lived and loved. The thrill of having senior pictures taken, and the pride we felt when the proofs arrived, the time and effort we put into our magazine sales, and the great feeling of accomplishment when we topped our goal, the turkey dinner Room 'l'l6 won, class play tryouts, and then the terrific per- formances of House Without Windows , the beautiful dance the sophomores gave us, and the polished Christmas cantata- all these are memories now.

The empty feeling we had for a moment when realizing the end was near was soon lost among the excitement and tenseness, the hilarity and soberness that was all part of the music festivals, the Honor Society and Quill and Scroll induc- tions, the Maple Queen and Ugly Man Con- tests, the Tug-of-War, and the track meets in the welcome spring weather. Soon we were measured for caps and gowns, and awards day left us feeling a little lost as our assembly seats were filled by iuniors. The prom arrived, and we danced for the last time as students to soft music in a dim and beautifully decorated gym- Events then gathered increasing speed. We witnessed a solemn and impressive Baccalaureate service, followed by our Commencement. We were filled with an emotion never to be forgotten as we stepped up to accept our diplomas and then ioinecl our voices together in singing our Alma Mater for the last time. Now an important step forward into adulthood is upon us, but as we move on, we leave a part of our lives here where our memories will remain young and bright forever. Winsome Willie wins an A. 'Q5554
