SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Like weary travellers out ol the storm of ignorance we were welcomed to the portals ol learning . . . U. l-ligh. Gradually we became accustomed to the light that gleamed through this storm and which, as it became more brilliant, helped us to develop and grow intelli- gently and with understanding. Guiding this light were our teachers who served as counsellors in this home of education. We learned to esteem, respect, and know them, lor without their welcome and leader- ship we might have strayed aimlessly. Now we are to be released from their care and custody and each ol us shall venture lorth to conquer new worlds. Because we have stood within the bright rays so long we have become permeated by them so that darkness or illiteracy can never again reach or overtake us. As Seniors we have enjoyed a full and varied social year, ln December the traditional Senior-Alumni Dance was enjoyed by all and it is rumored to have been the finest U. l'ligh has witnessed, As an innovation the officers inaugurated a class dinner held early in March which served to cement lurther the pleasant experiences and associations the class has known during its high school career. The high spot of this aFiair was the pledge of a class reunion to be held March 'l, 'l95O. Cn the eve of spring vacation an entirely new type of function was created. ln conjunction with the Junior Class a very inlormal dance termed The Sweater and Skirt Swing was held and claimed a happy success, May the pleasant recollections of all our paLt festivities, whether serious or frivolous, tend to bind us closer together as a group, cherishing the spirit of U. l'lighl Page 19 l fr ll l-l.
