We looked puzzled to the coming years, With open hearts, free from fears Our life's ambitions will be our works: From such opportunities, we cannot shirk. Some of us will have jobs in imaginative dream lands, While others may work on foreign sands, Or some branch of secretarial sorts, Law, medicine, mechanics, and sports. Whatever we choose in life to be, Will be the right decision, you'll seep Golly! We're forgetting one thing! We would not be graduating this spring, Had it not been for our teachers and principal, so swell. And our fathers and mothers who kept us well. Yes, in ourselves our futures lie And our treasured school days die, Truer words were never spoken, We take this motto as our token. This has ended my magic song, But, always the triumphant melody lingers on. Poetess Judy Jonas Class History With twelve years of growth and acquired knowledge, it is time for another Acron to fall from the old Union 'tree' and with it our history falls also. To begin our class history, I will start with the opening of school in 1955 when twenty-three pupils from Howards Creek joined us at Union making a total of seventy. We were the largest eighth grade ever at Union, making our teachers' worries greater. In 1956 we accepted the name Freshmen with great pride and entered the high school groove. Officers were elected in each section and served respectively through the year. Nine of our girls made up the Girls' Junior Varsity and seven of the boys made up the Boys' Junior Varsity. The Sophomores of 1957 we became Juniors of '58. We were grouped into one big section for the first time since we had started school. Wanting our Junior-Senior banquet to be a success, we sold magazines, Stanley products, and Christmas cards. The banquet took place at Cedar Park, April 3. Nineteen of the Junior class were received into the Beta Club, When school opened in the fall of 1959, our class became the almighty seniors. We immediately elected officers, chose superlativesg and selected our class motto, flower, and colors. Our history is small and unimportant to some, But the memories will linger and the thoughts remain. Of those winding trails and hardened paths, Of our parents' encouragement, and Our teachers' guidance That led us to the achievement. Historian Nancy Sain v
