Memories-the things we look back at with sadness or joy. But I think that when we look back at our high school dalys it will be with com- plete joy, unless it be for! there which left a slightly For one thing, WE WO year that we have such team, with players that Walkers, and Blanchards. that, just to look at them. nothing-you can go to a failed exam here or ad taste in the mouth. FAME! It isn't every a wonderful football are potential Lujacks, et you wouldn,t know ou might say, That,s any college football game, except maybe Tech, and get the same thing, if not more. But-can you go up to those fellows and say, That was a great game you played Dick, john, or P tv? No, because you don't know the fellows an it wouldn't mean any- thing to them. It's the close friendship we share that is the wonderful part about high school. For instance, will we ever! meet up with a better comedian face to face than Frank, or with one who could put so much into a violin solo fand don't say jack Bennyj? ! Think back and see j st how much you can remember. The NDD,s f one thing, they don't come much hotter-how dould they, with a name like Neal's Delinquent Deadbeats? Girls, did your muscles ache? Did ybur back kill you when we did 20 pushups, so many pullups, the 100- yard dash, and more? If tljey did, you weren't the only one! But at the end, we belonged to the A Unions! Everywhere you knows, one of us might day! Many of you have I can still remember, the we were proud to say ateur Athletic Union! turn, unions! But who in the Olympics some robably forgotten, but uni' we had from those dancing lessons in nir!1th grade. Whose bril- liant idea was that anyway? But I think it did help some, because there lwas a good turnout for the Freshie Party, whic feven though there wer and gold streamers the w and it turned out there tion on each lamp.j Anot was the flag raising and supplying the serious tru was a grand success supposed to be blue ole length of the gym as just a little decora- er thing to remember owering, with jackson pet accompaniment. Through the freshmajn year and on into the sophomore year there was the constant source of amusement-those water! guns! You were lucky if you lived through the day dry. Another thing we seemed to enjoy in our sophomore year were football holidays, we just couldn,t seem to get enough of them. And health teachers! How many did we have that year? just couldn't seem to keep health teachers. Maybe it was the delayed ill effects from those dancing lessons, but for some reason or other we didn't get around to having a Soph Hop that year. But to make up for no Soph Hop, we really outdid ourselves in the junior Prom. Ah, soft lights, sweet music, fDoin, What Comes Natcher- lyj, by Clyde Knight, everything from roses to orchids worn everywhere from pasted to a pretty shoulder to strategically pinned on a cute bustle, pretty girls with Gracie Rodgers standing out as Prom Queen, and ah-anything else you might want to add. It really was quite a night! But it was not all play and no work-no siree-that was the year we sold magazines by the tons. Every- thing from Polly Pigtails to Holiday and back again. Now when the a cappella choir performs, they are properly dressed in blue and gold robes. We've worked hard and we finally have en- joyed the privileges of seniors, no less. We waited a long time to hear Seniors dismissedv and enjoy it. But I think Weill be graduating better men and Women ready to face the trials of life that come before us, for after all, it isn't everybody who can face life with as good a lab technique as Mr. Ielbartis chemistry students have. Ah, the unforgivable sins. And now that weire on the subject, of the senior year, that is, it's as good a time as ever to remember that wonderful Senior Play, such torrid love scenes-and did Carl ever get itlv? All through the four years we've had such pleasant events as pep meetings, with everything from pie throwing to McNulty, assemblies featur- ing dog shows, makeup displays, and those as- sembly plays that we got such a kick out of- especially Babe,' and Sweet Pea at their best, the annual Christmas show and May Festival- all these have made up our high school days fnot to mention classes, home work, and tests-for after all, what are details?j and I say, may we never forget them. -Figie
