And Direct Program
The Thoughts of. a Graduate
With originality inarking* the
program the seniors presented their
(‘lass day exercises yesterday.
The history written by George
Ilam was given in a playlet form,
the scene taking place in 1990 in
the home of Grandpa, who was a
graduate of the ’38 class. His
grandson was graduating that night,
and he was alone when old class
mates Avalked in. The history was
worked in a conversation of old
times.
Seniors Compose Cast
Senioi's taking parts were Grand
pa, Jack Wharton; his son. Hardy
Lee Thompson; son’s wife, Helen
Moye; grandson, Eoss Ward; his
kid sister, Doris Startt; visitor,
George Ham; and the visitor’s wife,
Nancy Pipkin.
'J'he class prophecy was presented
in the form of a radio broadcast of
a ’38 class reunion with Kidley
Whitaker, class prophet, acting as
the announcer.
The following took part: Frances
Coward, James Kannan, Jack Whar

Last night I wallied out here in the light of the moon. The huildlng
suddenly loomed large out of the moonhght. (rllS—/?/.s7 an ovdinari/
building, yet it doesn’t seem so, for it’s a part of me. Tlte irindows, empty
and blank in the silence of the muffled dark, all at once reflected images
of the hours spent in the heart of the school. Happy honrs'f and still
the ones of hardest work, deepest worries, and healed arguments are just
as cleojT as those of pleasure and laughter, 'rite thoughts of crammin(j,
lough assignments, and the din of protesting voices are living as the dark
hut definite colors in the background of memories. Dark and often dis
cordant colors yet they offer the contrast for the bright and careless ones
in the foreground. Socials, sports, gaiety, and joy scatter brilliant splashes
in an abandoned way throughout the hazy dream, radiating sparkling bits
of merriment. And then the gleaming colors blend into the calmer,
modest shades of well-done work, hard-earned praise, and rjAvards given
into thankful hands. Near the front of all thoughts shines the cool grey
of seniors marching as the strains of “Largo” reach my listening ear. All
dreams arid memories are held together by strong bond's of friendship, each
one offering its small part to keep the tfioughts of future true, and as the
music fades, each color mixes with^ the others until hardly discernible.
lljach dab of color holds so 'much the key to a wealth of memories

sary to meet the deadline. Under
their leadership the standard of the
Hi News has been maintained, the
NSPA again giving a rating of ex
cellent,” said Miss Ida Gordner,
staff adviser. .
‘‘Ross was selected because of Ins
excellent work in the sports depart
ment. The accuracy, quality of
writing and makeup of the sport
pages were of such calibre that the
NSPA rated' it higher than any
other page iii the paper.
“Edward was nominated because
of his excellent work as business
manager. He was advertising
manager last year.
“The juniors, Evelyn and Grace,
were named because of their supei-
ior work as ad solicitors last year
and as co-advertising managers this
year. It was largely due to their
work that the Seniors were able to
have a ten-page paper,” said Miss
Gordner.
