When the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance echo through the gym on graduation night, seniors will carry with them the memories of four of the best years of their lives. Years associated with the excitement of the games, the Junior Prom, homework; and when you add it all up it makes a won¬ derful combination Four years ago, very short years, the class of ' 48 streamed through the doors and took up their residence in Freshman Alley. A little uncertain then as to what was happening, it didn ' t take long until they entered into the whirl of homework and activities. Sophomores! No more the class to be looked down on they had the privilege of saying Frosher with great contempt, a new section in the auditorium, and in only another year would be upper-classmen That slow year had finally passed and they had reached their goal. They were equal to the Seniors any day, just wait until they had their chance and they ' d show them how things ought to be run. There was no Junior Prom that year, but there was an assembly that made up for it But something much bigger was ahead—Graduation—well, only a year away The Royalty of Wa-Hi, the Seniors Do you feel any dif¬ ferent? A little ' was the reply. Everything to look forward to; the play, the senior sneak—will we have fun, then-— Gradu¬ ation Day! This was the year they won the state speech con¬ test. A year so busy and crowded that the days flew to Gradu¬ ation. They may not be seeing one another for quite a while now Some will be going to a job, some to college, but they ' ll never forget their school days.

One of the big jobs of the Juniors was the presenting of the Junior Prom. The theme chosen was Moonlight Serenade. Shan Shawgo reigned over the affair as prom queen, and the students dancec to the music of Jimmy Lyford and his band. Sixteen boys and girls worked on various committee- under the general chairman and president of the class, Stan Wiley. Their work did much to make tfo Junior Prom one of the gayest social affairs this year. On March 23, the annual Senior Tea was given for senior girls and their mothers. The event wer. over smoothly under the direction of the co-chairmen, Margaret McDermott and Gwen Willis, and wit! the help of their efficient committees. A group of Junior girls presented an assembly with the theme as advertisements from magazine and the radio. With the able help of Miss Falk, Junior class adviser, they chose their class rings during the firs semester. Commencement marshals were Stan Wiley and LaVonne DeBeaumont, president and vice-president respectively. The Junior class decorated for Baccalaureate and Commencement So the end of a very busy year!
