Time: The day we beat our first^ prints in the sod of E. C. H. S. Sanford: Walking up to the school that morning made me unusu- ally happy! It seemed as though all the world was free of anything that could mar this happiness. That day I had to pinch myself in order to make sure I was not dreaming! Freda: As I walked along my memory became like a moving picture machine. When the film was reflected on the screen, we saw pictures similar to these: First, there was the first day of freshman year when most of us looked like Indians or, as though we were going to a masquerade and lacked only the costumes. Gretchen: Then came our sophomore days which were filled with days of work and yet many an hour of happiness! When we became juniors the most important things to us were the Junior Carnival and the Junior-Senior Banquet, in which we played an important part! We also had the Junior Play, filled with laughter! Secretary Treasurer Betty Jane Leary Gretchen Voeth NINETEEN FIFTY Jimmy: Then there was the day we first walked the aisles of the auditorium as seniors! At first most of us were frightened, and then we saw our younger classmates looking up at us with a new look of hope on their faces, this thought came to our minds: "We are leaders and we must try with all that is within us to make the best examples for those who have faith and confidence in us!" Sanford: This is not the end, for we have many more things to look forward to, such as our Commencement Exercises and our lifes' work. Most of us will be happy, but within all of us sorrow will take its place. Truly our high school days have been happy ones! To those we leave behind we wish even happier days than those we have had!
