Senior Class  Farewell


                The year is  1958.  We  are a  small group of 7th graders attending Wm.  S.  Hart Jr. -Sr.
              High School.  At this time we don't know that we will be the last class to  attend a  combined
              Jr. -Sr.  High School.  Some of us  will go  on to complete  six  years  at this  school.  Little
              do  we  realize just how  eventful these years will be.

                Suddenly,  we are in the 8th grade.  Eagerly we look forward to our Freshman year.
              Our lives are as yet uneventful.

                -September,  1960 !  We proved that,  although  Freshmen,  we  avoided winning the  Lemon
              Trophy in the Clothing Drive.

                This first year in high school indicates that our class will  continue to be good,  academic .
              wise,  as we were in the Junior High.

                1961-1962 We,  the brave Sophomore Class challenge the mighty Seniors---and "bury"
              them in the ICC  Assembly.  Winning first place with our Homecoming float doesn't help to
              heal previous wounds  with the Seniors,  who  are already our arch enemies.

                Again,  we  shy away from the  Lemon Trophy in the Clothing Drive.  Although we find
              ourselves over our heads in class  competition,  we  still find time to see a  large percentage
              of our class listed on the Honor Roll,  we  are now  established as  a  class who  will excel
              academically.

                The Junior year,  1962-63 is the greatest in the way of achievements.  Because the
              Class of 1962  has graduated,  we chose as our rivals the Class of "63".  We  begin the
              year with a  unique I.  C.  C.  skit which brings  us  much acclaim.

                The Clothing Drive to 62-63 begins-----competition is rough-----then because the
              Seniors are behind they steal some of our clothes.  Little do they realize how dearly
              they will pay for their foul  deeds.

                Revenge is ours!  Under the cover of darkness,  a  crafty group of us  brand the Senior
              Lawri and the hearts of every Senior with those triumphant initials-JR'S!  It will take a
              long time for the scars in the hearts of any loyal Senior to heal.  For the second year in
              a  row we find the Senior Class embittered against us  as we emerge victorious with
              another spectacular "first" prize in Homecoming competition.

                "Wonderland by Night" is hailed by all as the finest Prom ever presented on our campus.
              Many of us now seriously consider our ambitions.

                We  realize now that this is the last year left for the fun  and "security" of high school.

                It is now  1964 and graduation is  at hand.  We  realize and are thankful for all that Hart
              High has given to us  these past years of our lives.

                Yes,  Hart,  with your help  and preparation we now are ready to face the world as mature
              young adults.  We know our future  rests in our hands.

                With a  deep sadness that only a  Senior can comprehend,  we leave you Hart,  and take
              with us far more than we ever gave you.  For this we will be forever thankful.

                Honestly,  you'll always  be Our Own Sweet Hart!

                                                               -The Class of 1964-
