Senior The clouds are lifting and through the mist we take a last look at our “Mount Olympus.” We scholars are happy because we are advancing to- ward our goals, hut a loneliness keeps coming into our hearts because we know we are going to miss the gay, merry times of our high school days. Four years have passed swiftly and memories come flooding back that never will be forgotten by the graduating class of 1950. 1946- 47. It was September and the beginning of our high school days. We were growing up in a world just beginning to quiet down after almost five years of the horrors of war, the one dark cloud hovering over our happiness. Fresh- man days were really happy, filled with dances, football games, basketball games, and finally the very important “Freshman Frolic.” 1947- 48. Our Sophomore year was started and finished before we knew what was happen- ing. This was the year that a great many things changed. It was peace time again and a great deal was happening. Under the inspiring spon- sorship of Mr. George Burman, we successfully met and settled each problem. The sophomore dance, “Stardust” . was a wonderful night for all of us to remember. Top to bottom: Signing up! Any room in that old jalopy????? The Senior Dance!!! May I have an announcement card, please? Pago Eighteen Congratulations, Class of '50 WHITING LUMBER COAL CO.

I listory 1948-49. We began thinking seriously about the future during our junior year. Even at the beginning of the year, we were all looking forward to sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom. After much thought and hard work, it was decided that “Underwater Fantasy was to be the theme. 1949-50. We were all a little excited at the pros- pect of being seniors, for that was what we had been waiting for. When our schedules were being arrang- ed for the last time, with the thought of majors and minors and thirty-two credits foremost in our minds, we were reminded again that we knew that after this year high school days would only be memories. The days went quickly. At the end of the first semester the valedictorian and two salutatorians were announc- ed. The prom, “Enchanted Evening , was really an enchanted evening for everyone. Next came the long awaited Class Night and then Commencement. Marching to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance was the thrill we had looked forward to tor twelve- years. With our diplomas still in our hands, we go forward from “yesterday’s dream” to “today’s reality.” Top to bottom: Prom date. Senior Shindig!!! Bums in bloom. Ready for the longest mile!!!!
