Class JNstorp FRESHMEN First day as a freshman and oh what a memorable day that was! The unforgetable Initiation Day soon follewed, when we all looked like abandoned babies and the smell of a 5 10 store perfume counter filled the air. The boys will never forget those beautiful posies they had to wear and the girls, the men’s garters. Peace came after the party given that evening by the Seniors. We all loved the Seniors and we each shed a tear at the farewell party we gave them before they departed in June. SOPHOMORE One year gone and now to venture into our second. This year wasn't very exciting as we were pushed into the background and gave way for the new Freshmen and Seniors. About the only eventful thing that happened this year was our dance, with its most original sounding name, Bunion's Delight. JUNIORS At last we are considered as part of the upper classmen. From the first we were busy getting ready for our big dance, THE JUNIOR PROM, Evening in Paris.' Our Industrial Arts boys worked many nights at the Blue Hills on our Eiffel Tower for the Prom. It was quite successful even though it did rain that night. Oh, yes, we won’t forget Mr. Goodrow and those American History classes. How could we forget! As the close of our Junior year approached, we were looking forward to our Senior year and what it had to bring us. SENIORS We've finally made it! This was a memorable year as we went to school under our first Republican president in twenty years. Not only did we have a new president but also a new Superintendent and a new Principal. Our first big thrill came as we walked up the Senior steps the first day, realizing that we were soon nearing our last steps before facing the wide, cruel world. First, came the Freshman day of doom — at last we got our revenge — poor little Freshmen! Soon after the Freshmen week ended, we were planning for our Senior dance, The Broomstick Swing. This was followed by the taking of graduation pictures and the organizing of the yearbook with its many headaches. We will all remember the wonderful art work done by Arlene Nilsson in our yearbook. After Christmas we were busy working on the Senior Play. Then came the Ball which everyone looked forward to. Before we knew it, commencement week was upon us with Class Day, the Banquet, and finally Graduation as we marched down the aisle and on to the threshold of new adventures and problems.
