The Senior alumni clubhouse started with a dream of the class of '50 that culminated from a desire to leave some material thing behind them in memory of their departing class. During that year, they talked about the project, they made and received donations, they planned and improved on their ideas and then, on the week before commence ment, a building of knotty pine steadily rose from its foundations to take its place among the buildings which form the school. On commencement day of 1950, the dedication services were held before the completed clubhouse, a final realization that the dream of the class of '50 was now in a tangible exist ence.

But the projects was still in its finishing stages as the next year and class rolled around. It became our project now, our project to furnish and to manage for its first year. When the furniture from Michigan finally arrived, we had our feeling of accomplishment too, the realization that our part was done also. As the clubhouse stands today, it boasts a stone fireplace, tables, lamps, bookcases, chairs and couches of pine and red and green upholstery, navajo rugs, a grand piano, a television set, a coca-cola machine, and a Cape hart radio-phonograph.

Its value stands not only in dollars and cents, but in importance to a class in that it brings about a closer class bond, a sense of common cause, and a desire of accomplishment and doing things together such as the dances, parties, impromptu meeting of the class, the nights of looking at the TV shows or listening to the radio or records, or playing cards and ex changing stories on everything that has happoned around the school, for all these things that we have done in the past year are what any class can look forward to with eagerness and leave behind with regrets, but be fully aware that those good times cannot and will not be easily forgotten.
