090' -QQ-Uooooo ooeo-usage.-soo EDITOR'S NOTES In the course of events in this, our last year in High School, we have found that we are really sorry to be leaving our dear old S. H. S. When you, the Freshmen of 1940, get to be seniors, I think that you will find that you are 1105 nearly so glad as you thought you would be. You find that there are a lot of past memories that you are afraid you will never again experience. Those are the things that you will treasure the most. In publishing this annual, we have had a lot of fun, and now that it is nearly finished, we are indeed very sorry. Do you want to know why we are sorry that we are leaving this school? Well, we will make a meager attempt to tell you. When we think that only next year we will no longer be a part of the school that we have known so long, it almost gives us heart failure. Just think! The cry most often heard around the seniors is that next year we won't be here to tell the underclassmen what to do and to help initiate the fish, or do a lot of the things that we are used to doing. We worked ten long and tiring years before we got to be called the dignified seniors, and now that we finally reached this age, we had much rather be called just plain old fish. We, the seniors, know that we will never again have as much fun as we had while we were sophomores. During our soph year, we had 13 parties and about 9 picnics. And we had more fun than any class in school. That was the year that there was only one senior girl, so we sophomore girls had a lot of fun playing seniors. I think that the most of the girls attended every affair during senior week of that year. But those days are gone forever! When we were fish, Mr. Ballengee was our sponsor, and he was really swell. We only wish that we had him again for our sponsor next year when we are fish. We are dreading that time when we will graduate and have to think of all the fun we have had and to think that we will never again see the good old days when we can think and play in high school. In our first grade class, there were thirty-three of us. Now in that original cl-ass, there are only four of us left. Those four are Lewis I-Iigginbottom, Jr., Margaret Ritchie, Betty Rhea Lee, and Mary Woodford Ki-dwell. Those four have been faithful to us all during their life. None of them except Mary Woodford has ever attended another school. QI don't think that she liked it very well so she came back to usl. When we got to be Juniors, we thought we were just as big as anyone, but we would be fairly glad when we would get to sit at the head table. And now, the time has come for us to say farewell to the school that we love so dearly. And always will we be singing the school song that we composed with the help of our beloved sponsor, M. E. Cleavlnger, Jr. Dear old Stratford High School, We're in love with you, Dear old Blue and White You're our colors true. Keep the spirit glowing, Till the battle's through, Dear old Stratford High School, We're in love with you. 421 60 i . SHS ,

FOREWORD It has been our greatest desire and pleasure to make this 1940 Las Pampas a true, faithful reflection on our never-failing activities. We, the seniors, dread the time when we will no longer be a part of this school that we so dearly love, but We will forever keep in our memories the wonderful activities that everyone so faithfully took part in. Down through the years, We will always have our annuals to look at and to assist our memories to remember these wonderful high school days. THE STAFF ADVISOR ....................... .,.......
