SENIOR YEAR: At the beginning of our senior and final year we added Jimmy Foss to our class, making it 9 girls and 10 boys. Our class officers for the year arc as follows: President.............................................Norman Dodge Vice President................. ....................Margaret Johnson Secretary.........................................Laurie Blanchard Treasurer.........................................Rebecca Johnson Student Council........................................Linda DeButts ........................................Mike Curran The first event was the senior play A Pair of Country Kids. Seniors taking part were Susan Nelson, Norman Dodge, Mike Curran, Rebecca Johnson, Laurie Blanchard, Margaret Johnson, and William McGowen. Thanks to the fine acting of the entire cast and the expert direction of Mr. Perry, the play was a success. This year, as in previous years, we have had several money-raising projects: candy' sales, book sales and basket ball pens. As the mid-year approaches, we look forward to another great basketball season, the Coronation Ball, the Junior-Senior Prom, and all the activities of graduation week -- the most important of all, to our commence- ment exercises. 19
