THE FIRST SENIOR CLASS became closely knit in a short time, and by May nearly every one of the 115-member class had taken part in planning assemblies, dances, graduation, and other senior activities. Elected to lead class activities were Fred Burns, President; Marilyn Bennett, Vice President; Connie Stephenson, Secre- tary; Gloria Thompson, Treasurer, and Helen Blanding and Lee Alliston, Class Representatives to Student Council. Graduation was an ecstatic culmination of 4 years of academic and social achieve- ment which was preceeded by a whirl- wind of last minute cramming sessions, exciting parties, and happy celebrations as graduates received announcements of college acceptances and scholarship awards. In this section appear pictures of every graduating senior who had one taken, and a summary of their clubs, honors received, future plans, favorite pastime, suppressed desire, will, and familiar quote. The seniors also honored 10 class members by electing them Most Intelli- gent, Most Friendly, Most Attractive, Most Talented, or Most Likely to Succeed.

MEMORIES of fun filled times will be many for Arcadia's first graduating class, for collectively they participated in every organized activity on campus. Several seniors were instrumental in formulating new traditions and policies to be carried on long after they are gone, through tak- ing an active part in student government, class projects and club activities. Inasmuch as Arcadia was brand new this year, the total student body came as representatives from separate schools, many feeling a sense of split loyalty. These feelings, however, were quickly resolved in the flurry of new friendships and shared activities. Perhaps the seniors, more than any other class, felt this new unity. Because they had a personal choice about changing schools in their final year, those who came to Arcadia did so imbued with a definite eagerness for sharing the excitement and inevitable challenge of being a part of a new and pioneering school, hoping to fully participate and enter in to the fullest. - 24 -
