You bet it's an honor, mister! just look who's graduating. lt took most of us five years to get here and others even longer. Some didn't make it at all. I wonder if the other seniors are following the speaker or reminiscing now as I am of that hot day in September of '44, our first at South Norfolk High. I can confess now that l was unhappy about the whole thing, but I didn't dare admit it because everyone else was overjoyed. To be at high school -that was something! But to be a rorlcnt-that was something else again. Oh! The garb we had to wear! I laugh when I think of lVarren Morse in lipstick, earrings, and a woman's frilly hatg and there was Janet johnson in high heels with bobby sox and a man's hat sitting at a rakish angle on her head. Seniors waited for us at the door and escorted us up and down the hall, umbrellas raised, and singing loudly. The humiliation of it all! We got our revenge though on November 2, l94S. On that day we led little mls around the halls and plotted cute things for them to do. Everyone was given a free shoe shine with the compliments of the senior class. When we returned to school in September of '45, we were faced with a momentous decision, whether to take world history or Latin, our only electives. There were some who made a mistake and the following term we elected history. For the first time we changed classes. VVe would scamper through the halls, peeking behind doors to find room numbers, asking teachers' names, and then rushing off somewhere else. We looked as if we might be playing hide and seek. . . . And now we will present awards to those who have done outstanding work . . . . . . Wish I were presenting the awards. To Mr. Larry Wickens, an award for writing an essay in the shortest length of time. To Don Seymour and Paul VVilson, awards for all the corny jokes told
