M Y, 1 5 ,,-X -1-l. gt SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Once upon a time there was a little fish. In falct, once there were about thirty little fishes all as green as gourds. We were very much at sea, but Mr. Ballengee proved himself to be a whale of a sponsor and guided us over the rough spots of that first year. Coach had his session with our sophomore class. If all play and little work makes Jack a bright boy, all of us must fairly shine. We had that year besides the four festivities allowed each class, about 13 parties and 8 or 9 picnics and a banquet. Our Junior year, Mr. Harman sponsored us right through plane geometry. Just to show that we were really growing up, We presented a play called The Haunted Tea Room fplenty of play practice, of coursel, and had another banquet, this time on a crepe paper ship. Now as dignified seniors, We know our way about this school. iAny time that you undeirclassmen want to know something an-d have the money-J. We've had a carnival, given another play, and presented a radio to the school. Mr. Cleavinger, who pulled us through our hectic soph year, is our final sponsor. We have thoroughly enjoyed the school and teachers of Stratford High and hope the feeling is mutual.

SEN ICR ALBUM We wouldn't think of boring you with our class album, but if you want to skim through it, we've got the best pages dog-eared. You know, the shot of little Willie, age six months, in a birthday suit. iWhy, Bill, you're blushingll Here's an interesting study of Jimmie and Roy. lR,emember them?J Tch! Teh! Can this be the Seniors playing hide-and-seek at a party? Come out from under that tub, Owen, we see you. Ah yes, the one and only sophomore banquet. This one didn't take very well. lThank goodness? Seems to be some sort of night view of the Junior Play cast. Wonder where on earth it was taken!?? What? No, that isn't a prize fight. Just a little shot we picked up out at Lasley's one summer day. Another gathering at Kidwe1l's house. '1'hat's Allan turning the ice cream freezer and Sam and Lewis sampling the cake. Oh-oh! What happened here? Were you trying to play wild stick horse with that broom, Margaret? Or what makes you look so dizzy? H'mmm-relic from a freshman picnic. Why, Betty! Can that be you and Allan sitting under that bush? And so all the little seniors grew to be strong an-d healthy. They dldn't eat their spinach, but they had plenty of good fresh milk to drink Another picnic- senior year. Trying to drown yourself in that cream-can, Joyce? Or merely getting a drink of water? 0ld-timers- a sophomore shot of Sam and Flora fR.emember?J and one of Elsie Pearle talking to somebody in a bright green jallopy. Close-wp of our junior banquet. Pretty ritzy affair- eh, what? lAnd to think nobody got seasick.J Extra! Extra! This year's Carnival! Look at the crowd round that cider-stand. And there go Verne and Queenie Mag to the throne followed by a handsome group of Lords and Ladies. Whoops, my dear! Another dark picture. Say, for Pete's sake! How many seniors can get in a closet at one time? Anyhow? I guess the best one is the shot we saved for the last. Portrait of a real sponsor. Meet Coach, Mrs. Coach, and Family. 1123 Q0 QQ! . SHS ,
