SENIOR YEAR At last. Senior year arrived. We were all glad to be graduating but I think deep down inside a little bit of sadness showed through as everyone re- membered the happy times we'd had during the past four years. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President Richard Bengtson Vice-President Alberta Witham Secretary Pearl Ycaton Treasurer Joanne I uttle Student Council Lyn Sherman and Cliff Bane Chronicle Reporter Marilyn T uttle This year we welcomed Mr. Leskowitz as our adviser. The whole class worked diligently on the float we entered in the Deerfield Fair. The float was made to look like Little Abner's Wedding. We didn't win a prize, but we sure had fun trying. Then we started planning for the Senior Play. The title was Men Are Like Streetcars” and the entire class participated in its production on November 23 and 24. It was truly a great success. We had three members as participants in the Woman's Club Essay Con- test this year. They were Lyn Sherman, Richard Bengtson. and Joy Wiley walking off with all three prizes respectively. Joanne Tuttle was elected by the class and faculty for the DAR Good Citizenship Award. In basketball, Ted Geers served as captain, with Cliff Bane and Dick Bengt- son on the team. Lyn Sherman, Marilyn Tuttle, Alberta Witham, Joy Wiley, and Pearl Yeaton were on the volleyball team. Joanne Tuttle served as manager. This year we also had three members on the cheering squad. They were: Joy Wiley, Head Cheerleader: Alberta Witham and Marilyn Tuttle. Ted Geers, Cliff Bane, Rich Bengtson, and Ken Magoon made the base- ball team. On April 13, Joanne Tuttle and Cliff Bane were our representatives in Prize Speaking. Joanne proudly walked off with first prize. There are three instances that remain very distinct in our memories. The first was the Baccalaureate service on June 14, and then our graduation and re- ception on the fifteenth of June. There are also things that we remember about our four years at Coe-Brown. They are our happy and successful times we had. We really had fun, didn’t we?
