they may have used a few rotten apples (just for variety). Remember Mr. Davis sang all the way home? Several of the boys (the shy ones who weren’t taking advantage of the hay ride) were accompanying Mr. Davis on the empty potato chip cans. Savages from the Congo! That was us. About April of this year, if you happened to look out the assembly window, you would probably have seen Norma and Robert walking in the yard, arm in arm. 1951— 22nd Amendment adopted and Japanese Treat)' was signed. Tins was the year we had all long anticipated. We were now in high school. Make special note: Our president en- tered the history this year and also joining us, adding to the merriment, was John; and we mustn’t forget our golden-haired angel—Carolyne Hughes. We were, of course initiated, too. Yes, freshies, we went through all that. We particularly remember Bill Wendall, Mel, and Joe in high heels. They got through the day somehow without breaking their necks. Then, there was Little Black Sambo (Harriett) and the babies. Marge and Lawson. If 1 remember rightly, Mel got two proposals that night— Carolyne and Janice, wasn’t it? And didn’t Evelyn sing a solo to John? I think Charlotte had to tell him she loved him too, didn’t she? 1952— Eisenhower became President and we soon saw the end of the war in Korea. In 1952 only three years left in our fight for edu- cation (and fun). We took our stand in the basketball world. We had two of our own classmates enter the famed field. Spirits rode high as tourney time neared. We bagged both victories that year and became County and Sec- tional champs. The girls took a couple of field trips that year. We visited the Girls’ School. Teachers would have probably been happy if a few of us had stayed on. Too, we attended the Home Show and visited St. Mary’s of the Woods. Angus took his place in our history. 1953— Stalin died and all America hoped for peace. Ah, this was a good year! Play practice, reception, typing, shorthand, history. It was a hard year but every bit of it was great fun. We had a couple of class parties. Margie had a birthday party and Linda entertained the play cast of BOYS ABOUT BOBETTE.” 1954— Dust)' Rhodes knocked home runs for World Series. Debate censure of Senator Mc- Carthy raged on. Our stormy attack on history has almost finished. We have lived through half of our last year in Waveland High. Some of us will be glad to leave; others will probably wish they were back. We have lived through labor upheavals, communist disturbances, world wars, short recesses, fist fights, ballgames. dis- appointments, short romances; but most of all we have gained an education, ripened into true- blooded American citizens, and formed some lasting friendships. These things we’ll never forget: Elizabeth began going steady in 1954, Martha acquired a diamond on her left hand, and 1955? We won the county tourney and celebrated by a victory dance. Who knows what will happen to us from now on? We are pretty sure that come May we’ll walk through the halls of Waveland High for the last time as students. Then we will go on a senior trip, put on a senior play, etc. But after that each of us will go our own way. make our own mark in the world. Each of us must remember that “the door to success is labeled push” and we must keep pushing. 1’a c 13
