Senior class officers Mary Eleonore Dendy, Eckard Bull and Edvvina Litwin discuss Skip Day plans. Senior Class History ' At last the class of 1960 is leaving the American school! The Juniors who could hardly wait for this day to arrive will be glad to take over as the high and mighty Seniors of next year. Undoubtedly some teachers will breathe a sigh of relief when we have finally left, and the school will certainly be a lot quieter after we are gone. However, in looking back, the Senior Class of 1960 can point with pride to a long list of achievements since it first burst into the high school four years ago. All through our high school years we have been a unique class, often unruly and almost unmanageable, but always forging ahead with new plans and ideas. This year, as seniors, we dominated virtually every sphere of activity in the school. All the committee chairmanships were held by Seniors. Most of the Bamboo Telegraph editors were Seniors and a consistently good paper was turned out all year under the leadership of Gretchen Schulz. The Seniors also revived the Drama Club, and this organization headed by Anne Daniel, made several major contributions to the school's theatrical life. What we are especially proud of, though is that long list of Seniors on the Honor Roll every grading period. Although our class failed to dominate school sports nevertheless we were well represented. We had several outstanding individual stars in both boys' and girls, sports. Even in one of the most humiliating chapters of our class history this year, the boys' basketball intramurals, our boys managed to take third place. Naturally the Kawayan took up most of our time in the latter part of the school year and under the management of Edwina Litwin and the girls a truly well-planned yearbook was published, into which many new ideas were in- corporated. Not only was this year's Kawayan outstanding in craftsmanship, but our Midas touch made it a financial success. The class also sponsored the Kawayan Formal at Christmas time. Early this year the Class of '60 had its Skip Day. Always wanting to do things in a big way we had our selves a beach trip to the white sands of Dagupan. It may have added a gray hair or two on someone's head, but it was great fun! In all the various class activities during the school year, our class officers: Eckard Bull, President, Edwina Litwin, Vice President-Treasurer, Valerie Larsen, Secretary, Bill Dunkum, Student Council Representative, and Nancy Howe, Alternate Council Representative. In the second semester Mary Eleonore Dendy was elected Secretary to replace Valerie Larsen who became the American School's first girl president. The class officers worked closely together with the class to make our final year at school a successful one. It is our sincere hope that the classes which follow us enjoy and get as much out of studying at the American School as we have. THE CLASS OF 1960
