Lack Of Interest In Class

In a previous issue of the "eagle," there appeared an ar-
ticle condemning the lack of interest in school clubs at Tay-
lors. A follow-p to this article is the poem below, copied
from "Scouting Magazine."

What Kind Are You?

Are you an active member — the kind that
would be missed?
Or are you just contented that your name is
on the list?
Do you attend the meetings, and mingle with the
flock?
Or do you just stay home and criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied to be the kind that just
belongs?
Do you ever voluntarily help at the guiding
stick,
Or leave the work to just a few and talk about
the clique
Come out to the meetings, and help with hand
and heart,
Don't be just a member, but take an active part,
Think this over, remember, you know
right from wrong;
Are you an ACTIVE MEMBER or do you
just belong?

SENIOR HISTORY

The discovery of the class of 1959 was an accident. Four
years ago, early one morning on the first of September, 1955,
the faculty of Taylors High School was strolling aimlessly
through the corridors chatting about the just-ended vacation
and wondering whether there yould [would] be any startling changes
in their work during the coming year.

Suddenly they caught a glimpse of something new and
strange. Just inside the front door, huddled together in mute
embarrassment and anxiety were the members of what be-
came the Class of 1959.

Gently attempting to dispel the fears of the strangers,
the faculty bade them enter and spent the next few weeks at-
tempting to gain their confidence and friendship.

The discovery, having been reported to the ruler of the
high school. Principal W. C. Henderson, of this remarkable
acquisition to his territory was received with marked delight
and a few misgivings. To him were brought the report cards
bearing signs supposed to denote teh [the] degree of mental alert-
ness possessed by the owner.

These strangers were divided into small groups and as-
signed to the care of the different explorers. They were giv-
end the name "freshmen" and became a part of the
school.

During the first month of school, the Freshmen suffered
many inconviences because of their unfamiliarity with its
new country nad its traffic rules. They were forever lost and
arriving at their classroom late.

They elected the following officers: President, Sandra
Sammons; Vice President, eLonard [Leonard] Howell; Secretary, Betty
Boling; Treasurer, Gordon Knight.

There were few casualties during the year and much in-
formation was gained by these freshmen.

At the end of the year, a terrible disaster befell the
Freshmen. This disaster was called final examinations and
ranks as one of the worst massacres of the time.

With the coming of the next September, they received
the name of Sophomore. The surroundings are now familiar
son; Secretary, Gaines Boling; and Treasurer, Bobby Evette
as their officers.

In the third year, owing to an old educational custom,
the Sophomores became Juniors, and the promotion made
their sense of importance increase out of all due proportion.
Great, indeed, was their scorn for the Freshmen and the
Sophomores. The social functions of this period were delight-
ful, the most important being the Junior-Senior Banquet. The
class was led by Mike Smart, President; Otis DeShields, Vice
President; Linda Painter, Secretary; Betty Lou Wade, treas-
urer.

And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the
history of the class. They automatically (as was their custom
in many things) became Seniors in September. With the gain-
ing of this title, they began to take themselves more seriously
than ever before; and when I say seriously, I mean seriously.

All this was looked upon with amusement by the explor-
ers. The organization was noteworthy, the following officers
served as leaders of this group: President Jerry Adams; Sec-
retary, Gail Charping; Treasurer, Larry Vaughn.

The social events were brilliant and a number of the Sen-
iors gained unusual distinction during the year.

By way of celebration, a ceremony known as commence-
ment was planned. Speeches are made, songs are sung, and
scholls called diplomas, from the Iroquis word "diplomacy"
signifying skill and finesse, are to be given out.

After this exploration, settlement will come; and these
Seniors will fit into the various chosen vocations. We hope
that among their number are also those who are destined to
become discoverers and explorers of eager minds which
await training for citizenship in our great country.
