How- ever, you might be thinking wrong, because I just sorta got settled down to the atmosphere. Last Sep- tember I was glad I was over being a miserable freshman, and was this a happy thought. To my be- wilderment, though, I found geometry and biology even harder than algebra and general science. This meant study, so I studied, tPart of the time.J Now that I was a sophomore I thought I was a big shot until I found out there were still some juniors and seniors left in high school. Alas, those freshmen are pretty tough, too. In football and basketball some of my classmates were regulars, but I had to settle on the second team. Anyway, I had a lot of fun. Other things that used up my study halls were the band and mixed chorus. Here I developed some musical qualities which I land other peoplel never thought I possessed. Now that I am at the halfway point in my high school career and next year I'll be considered an upperclassman, I think I'd better get over being a kid and get serious in those final two years, preparing myself for a serious future, my future.

Front IOW- ICIHST I-CIl1de1'CiCI 9. ex OSITICIH, O junivr 611155 I am a junior in this house of learning known as Tama High School. In my first year as an upper- classman I hope I acted the part an upper classman should play. Next year I'll end my high school career, and if I haven't got much out of it yet, I still hope to get more. Studying took up a lot of my and my classmates time this year as a junior is expected to study. My class entered into just about every extra-curricular activity, and Where they Went they upheld their part of the job. We Won both girls' and boys' basketball class tournaments. In music I and other juniors entered in wholeheartedly. As juniors put on the Prom, we earned quite a sum of money to put on a good one. Our play was a success, and quite humorous. When next fall rolls around I will be a senior. I don't know how I will like this, but I am inclined to think that I would just as soon be a sophomore. The time when we leave this building for good is drawing closer and already I think I'11 miss it. I am fortunate to be a member of a good class, and next year we'11 try to step into the shoes left by the seniors who have left this school for a bigger school-life.

Qrcshmnu Glass When I entered the doors of Tama High School as a freshman, last fall, I went through those por- tals with an air of curiosity and expectancy. I was curious about what I was going to do, and I was expecting something if I didn't do it right. Those first few weeks were hectic. I had to run for classes, and excuses, to me, were a puzzle. Gradually, these puzzling things became clearer, and I settled down to my first lap on the track to higher learning. In algebra and science I became acquainted with equa- tions and formulas. Budgets became a word that meant something after a few months in business train- ing. Also I still worked on those same darn verbs, nouns, etc., in English, High school became fasci- nating, more or less. At least it drew me to it every morning at eighty-thirty. I was attracted by the outside activities in high school. land some of my fellow freshmen entered in athletics and music and some of us got to play in a few football games and sit in with the band. Those high school parties were swell, and I honestly believe that there was less hazing or initiating this year than ever before in Tama. In fact, I think I'm going to enjoy my next three years in high school.
