its height. What was to be the verdict, a flop or another success to add to Miss Greene's list? Much to everyone's surprise, it was a success. Apr. 15. 1942 Tibet Travels — Mr. Hardenbrook introduced the many customs and wonders of Tibet in one of the most colorful assemblies of the year. Of course, we mustn't forget to praise Carl Vastbinder's fine assistance. Apr. 17. 1942 Music Festival — The music department's time to shine, and shine they did.

CLASS SONG Farewell to Carrollton High fune of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes When we all graduate, We shall hesitate For we all will know That we all must go, Out upon our own. We have had our fun Now our work's begun We shall go through life With our joys and strife Thinking of school days. When we're gone Will memries linger on Of we who pass through these halls. Will you say We wish that you could stay But now our future calls. Now we have had our say We’ll be on our way. We will try to do All you've taught us to — So Carrollton High — So long!
