One pleasant September morning twelve years ago, with our mothers as escorts, we commenced our journey of education. Our patient teacher who re- ceived many of us tthe rest joining us in their freshman yeaN in the first grade was Miss Lottie Slusser. We journeyed on until we reached Junior High. When we received our diplomas from the eighth grade, we felt quite grown up. The next fall we entered high school: as freshmen we realized we yet had far to go. Our freshmen enrollment was fifty-five. The number has gradually decreased, however, and we now have thirty-eightt. We look back over these twelve short years and recall many pleasant and happy memories and they, without any doubt, out-weigh the few unpleasant ones. With these years of training we plan to go out into the world with the realization tas our motto statest ttLIFE BEGINS AT ,40tt
