As we glance back o rer the last eleven years, we can see a fine' group of youngsters starting to aohool. On the nsoming of September 3, i§30, there came into grade school a rough and ready class of first graders, only six of whan are now seniors. They were Wanda Kelley, Freda Kelley, Carol Cleavinger, Boyd Landers, Fred Nelson end Ruby Bales, In the second grade we welcomed Clyda Ferne McMillan to our class® During our third year, Willene Bulls joined us. This group trailed along and when in the fifth grade Ara Sue Jonos, Bill Trull, Dollie Smith, and Bemloe Bell stepped in line. We added Nettie Alair, Louise Dent, Lou.ise Welch, during the sixth grade. As the roundup was nearly over in grade school, we found Iraa Faye Sanders, Nova Belle Allen, and Roy McClure waiting for us in the seventh grade. We plokod Wanda Jean Ruseell up on the way, and in the spring wo gave Edwin Jones a hearty invitation to join us in our work. In 1937 wo entered high sohool. The olass enrollment then was fifty, of whom twenty ore now seniors. Ernest White and Lloydino Dent joined us that year and the class was organized ‘with the following officers: Louise Wright, president; Fred Nelson, vice-president; and Wanda Kelley, seo’y. We had one class party a semester. Miss Bertina Howell was our sponsor during our first year in high school, Lloydino Dent was princess of the Hollowe1en carnival. She was escorted by Boyd Landers. We found ourselves in deeper water than we thought as we smergod in- to our eeoond year. This year Fred Nelson took the position of president, Roy McClure, vice-president, and Ara Sue Jones, secretary, Louise Wright was our prinoese and was oeoortod by Roy MoClure, I The Big Square school sent us some navi members in our Junior year; Edward Worm, Voola Youts, Helen Anthony, and Christens Davie, Deltan lem- ons and Johnnie Starkey were admitted later on in the yoar. Eldon Parish was president; Fred Nelson, vice-president; and Ara Sue Jones and Wanda A' Kelley were secretary and treasurer. Wanda Kelley was queen of the carnl- w val. We were finally allowed two parties a semester. In the spring we » presented Truth Takes a Holiday successfully. At the close of the year we gave to the seniors a banquet The Last Round Up , Food and favors in ranch motif, girls in evening gowns and boys dressed semi-formal. I Now as seniors we have found it difficult to convince our teaohers that we are the same girls and boys in pigtails and kniokors who entered high school four years ago. Yes, we are the so called dignified Seniors, but not too dignified to enjoy parties with the Juniors. The Bandit and Roberta , our olass play was well received. Our officers are Dolton Lem- ons , president; Fred Nelson, vioe-presidont; and Wanda Kelley, sooretary. We wish to express our appreciation for the fine banquet given in our hon» or by the Junior olass. We also want to express our sincere appreciation for our sponsors Mr. J. L. Hicks, and Mr. H. L. Minor.

We leave a will to the Freshmen, the chewing gum that we leave stuck under the radiators and in our desks. Note: Sterilize it before chewing again; some of us had the small pox, Also we leave the cigarette stubs and old cuds of Climax that are hid in the different trea- sured spots on the grounds. Last, but not least. We leave the privilege of having the biggest, big-head in the school, the privilege of raising cain in the study hall when you please and the right to win any contest that may come up in the school. With these last words of our will we do not want to forget our be- loved teachers to whom we leave the hardluck and worries of taking care of the New Freshmen. 4 Signed under hand and sealed this 17th day of May, 1941.
