As we make our final exit from the stage of school life we realize that from now on All the World s our stage. Soon we shall line up for our Finale in WCS and then begin learning our roles for the drama of life. Our final exit from the halls of our high school Alma Mater is close upon us. As Seniors we have taken many encores and bows. Never again will most of us enjoy this acclaim. Au revoir, Whitesville Centrali A tt 3
