H .air llur Class History H yes, we were timid young Sophomores the day we stood at the entrance to Union Hill. We trembled in awe at the prospects of the future for the next three years. We looked at and listened to the lofty Seniors who were so sure of themselves and fwhom wedared not ask directions to our new home rooms. Those of us who had attended the Annex felt more reassured than the out-of-towners but still our confidence was a trifle unstable. We stumbled along to our rooms, gazing in bewilderment at the maze of rooms, stairs, and corridors, we wondered if we would ever become familiar with this seemingly terrifying place. Our first classes were frightening ordeals. At the first as- sembly bells, we gave up in hopeless despair the thought of ever knowing what was going on. ln a daze wepassed our first year at Union Hill, still fearing our teachers, studying our lessons and acquiring good marks. We returned from vacation. How quickly we forgot that just a few months ago we had been sophomores, for we lost no time in taunting the in- coming sophomores. This was the year we formed our class organization. It was then that we really began to feel important. Mrs. Elvira Rossi started us off with work immediately and we knew, or thought we knew, the workings of the senior machine. We gave our first dance- The Jr. A Bobby Sox Parade, which, much to our astonishment, was quite a success. This was fol- lowed in our second term by the Jr, B Juke Box Jump, our second big hit as Juniors. Yes, by this time we had learned a few things. We no longer thought that school was all work, that our teachers were frightening crea- tures and that good marks were the only important factors. Once again vacation caught up with us. lt was September! Only ten months of school left. Yes, we were now those lofty Seniors, and we reacted just as every other Senior class has done in the past. We condescended to speak to the Juniors, snubbed the Sopho- mores, and completely ignored the Freshmen. By this time, we had lost some of our boys to the Armed Forces. Somehow, they seemed to leave an empty space in our crowded plans. Slowly we began to realize that we had better get to work if we expected to graduate in June. Our grades took a noticeable jump for the better. After sending the Senior B's off with the Starlight Prome- nade, work was hurriedly, begun on our Yearbook, The staff was selected, the various assignments and responsibilities undertaken, our rings were ordered, our graduation pictures were taken. We really were Senior B's. Our school days bowed out to the tune of the Hawaiian Reception, tendered us by the class of January, 947. The melodies we danced to will continuously recall to mind memories of our Senior Prom. A certain nostalgia and longing for the good old days crept over us as we faced the uncertain future, but we were expectant of the best. So thus we close behind us the familiar doors of Union Hill. We shall be everlastingly grateful for all she has given us in knowledge, friendships and understanding. Our years at Union Hill will al- ways remain as part of our most cherished memories. , , . ,, ,, , .. .. . , , , A ,H ., . . . V. -4 , .. . i
