FUR Wlllill No scolastic year could be as the past one nor could there be another PIONEER such as this. The PIONEER staff has put forth the greatest effort to include in this book all the outstanding features which best illustrate and express the past year. The activities of 1947 have been carried on as a tradition of former years - we participated in extra-curricular activities, many old rivals were visited in basketball and we went to classes to suffer and enjoy ourselves as those before us have done. Putting aside the suffering and strife we have endured, this year has been and always will remain unique in the minds of our graduates. The war being over we leave our Alma Mater to put into effect what our teachers have struggled to teach us, that we may make the world become more democratic and peaceful so that the victory our boys won will not have been in vain.

TYPICAL t0ll00L DAY The busses arrive at 8:40 bringing scores of inmates from the ages of 5 to ?. Some are relatively new but to others the joint seems familiar. The doors open and in rush an endless stream of bright f?J, eager, promising lone thing or anotherl students with a gleam of anticipation in their eyes. Some no doubt, are thinking of their dear teachers, others are enjoying the scenery which moves up the stairs amid the calls of dogs, cats, chickens, wolves, etc. When the bell rings lockers silently close and the pupils enter their home rooms and take their seats orderly and noiselessly. The first period is spent going from one person to the other seeking the days assignments, otherwise order prevails. But Noi Mr. Wlnship seems to have overslept I imagine he has spent another difficult night studying. His excuse UD is accepted and the room is quiet once more. After a trying morning fa morning striving to get someone's history answersb the lunch hour is at hand. Everyone must report to his home room to prevent Q suspicion of school skipping and to get home in time for dinner. The pupils dismissed wander slowly downstairs toward the cafeteria. CThe casualties among the smaller children are counted at 1:00J School is resumed at 12:35 and the Juniors enter Miss Peavy's domain for higher education in history. Very few of these mortals escape without lt. English is next. If one could observe this class he would be astonished with their conduct. Do they interrupt the teacher? Do they throw chalk, paperwads, erasers, etc. Do they stammer or falter when asked a question concerning the days assignment. No indeed they are the pride and joy of old S. D. After another hour of intense study Qthat is appearing very busy doing nothingl the bells ring for dismissal. They scatter out and with a slight rattle of lockers tearfully depart to return another day. Roger Anderson Uuniorj
