Introducing to You . . . The Seniors Row one—Bud Tabaka, Treasurer; Del Murphy, President. Roto two—Ken Pcrgrem, Vice-President; Ruth Palmer, Rosemary Representative; Don Wyman, Secretary. We are now setting out into “the big wide world. We may not want to, but just the same, we’re going. Whether it’s work or more school, it won't be easy; anyway, we will each have our try at it. Before we go, though, we would like to say a few words of valedictory. In the beginning, in 1943, four years stretched ahead of us like an eternity; now as we look back, they seem much too short. Much has been written and more said about the joys of high school days, “and daze,’’ but pardon us if we repeat it we realize more than ever what high school means now that it's in retrospect. Next year there will be Hchoes, games won and lost, girls’ assemblies, class rings changing hands, couples in the corridors . . . our departure is by no means catastrophic to the U. II. S. way of life. Then why the sad looks and regretful thoughts on graduation ? ()n!y because a group known as ’47, which for the last twelve years has come and gone daily from September to June, will come and go no more. We’ll be coming and going somewhere else, but it won’t be the same. So. as we kick our lockers shut and for the last official time walk out below the three wise owls, we would like to say goodbye to everyone and everything; to Mr. Howd, we’ve done our best to bring up as a proi cr U. II. S. principal; to the squeaking auditorium seats that we've helped to decorate; to our last term papers, which represent such loving care and such an investment in midnight oil. ’48, we’re depending on you to carry on next year. We leave U. II. S., Mr. Howd, and the mid- night to your care. Do a good job! . . . and so, farewell. . . . 10 The 1917 Rosemary
