SENIOR CLASS President Bobby Griffin Vice-President Jane Brewer Secretary Nancy Parks Treasurer Martha Williams Reporter Dorothy Ann Humphreys Historian Nancy Howerton Sponsors Mrs. Helen Gregory Mrs. Mary Lenhart, Mr. W. D. Conner Almost five years ago on September 8, 1958, a group of 122 bewildered eighth graders entered the halls of Bluestone High School. As June 7, 1963, approaches, the seniors, now 108, seem to be just as bewildered- -not because they are entering Bluestone, but because they are leaving the school that has seen them grow and mature BY DAY and BY NIGHTand are entering a new world that will consist of jobs, marriage, armed services, and further education. Looking back over the past five years the Senior Class has many memories to be proud of--memoriesof BLUESTONE BY DAY and BY NIGHT. BLUESTONE BY DAY--the classes, the clubs, the money- raising projects, the practice in various sports, and the brief chats and hellos between classes; BLUESTONE BY NIGHT--the plays, the ball games, the banquets, the dances. Homecoming, and May Night. As inexperienced eighth graders they had the first and only eighth grade dance in Blue- stone ' s history, Ye Ole Soda Shoppe, and many of the boys began to participate in J. V. sports. Upon becoming ninth graders they became active in extracurricular activities. In the tenth grade they proved their ability by giving a most successful winter dance, Snow Fantasy. With the junior year approaching, they saw that money- raising projects- -the sale of stew, sweatshirts, nities, and pompons, dances, sweet sales, and the Miss Bluestone Con- test--were important. They gave the Christmas dance, ' Twas the Night Before Christmas. By now many had received their Varsity letters in sports while others had received their certificates of membership in the Beta Club. In April, after four years of hard work, the Junior- Senior Prom, Prestwould Plantation, was the climax of a dream come true. As they became seniors, they received their long awaited class rings and took over the leadership of the school in classes, clubs, and sports. After giving the traditional Twirp Dance in February, they focused their attention on Graduation and plans for the future. With a new world awaiting them, the Class of ' 63 will never forget the memories of BLUESTONE BY DAY and BY NIGHT, and, as they enter this new world, their experiences during the past five years will be invaluable in the role they will play. 16
