Our big year at last. We entered the senior class with Mr. Wood as our advisor once again. We began on our yearbook, and we went out to sell ads. We ordered Christmas cards and hats, and had shirts to sell also. Three senior girls were elected cheerleaders; they, and the senior boy3 saw their last days in high school sports. Busy? We just flew through our lest successful year! One thing we enjoyed most was advertising for our yearbook. We had a lot of fun asking for donations, and we also did a lot of giggling. To top all that off, we had a big dinner with everything we wanted to eat. We ate candy and peanuts; until, when dinner time came, none of us were hungry, but we did a good Job of eating just the same. We have worked and played together for a long time. Now, here we are spending our last year together, and writing our iast class paper and yearbook. We plan to do many things this year. Money for the class has to be earned in some way, and our work has to be turned in before we receive our final high school diploma. That's what we have been looking forward to for twelve long years 1 We look forward to getting our diploma and wearing the class colors, scarlet and gray, and marching to the stage for our last time. We wish to thank all the teachers who have helped us through school. Most of all we wish to thank our mothers and dads who paid our expenses through our school years. And, we hope espec- ially to be able to live up to the fine expectations that all our friends and teachers have for us. i J 15
