l'li9h School Record of The Class of '5'l The Senior class of I95I started their high school days as all other Senior classes must do, as Sophomores. We, lke all other Sophomore classes, started out with the attitude of humble- ness and obedience to our elders-the Iuniors and Seniors, and that wide-eyed wonder charac- teristic of most Sophomores. We chose as the officers to head our class that year Iames Duren, president, Ward Lee, vice-president, Barbara Schultz, secretary, and Nancy Brinker, treasurer. Peggy Petty and Sonny Born were our represent- atives on the Student Council. Mr. Wendell Buckley and Mr. Frank Campbell were spon- sors. Our prom was one of which we were very proud. The theme was Cuanto la Gusta, and the gay colorful decorations carried out the theme very effectively. Our class picnic was- held near the end of our Sophomore year on Reservoir Hill. Like all picnics, it was loads of fun and a happy ending for our Sopromore activities. Then the class took on the proud name of Iuniors. Again, we started a school year with enthusiasm, but there seemed to be something lacking-yes, we'd lost a great deal of humble- ness and obedience, except of course to THE Seniors! Elmer Slaten as president, Mollie Car- anta, vice-president, Gerry Harrington, secretary, and Iames Duren, treasurer were the officers we elected to lead us trrough this Iunior year. Mari- lyn Paulek, Don Tanner, and Carl Snook were on the Student Council, and Mr. Harvey Hollar and Miss Sharley Pike were our sponsors. We were given the privilege of having the first prom of the year and since the date for our prom was December 1, we carried out a theme of Winter Wonderland. It was a wonderful prom and again we were proud of our hard work. Also, as Iuniors we were given the privilege of having candidates out of class for the DHS Homecoming Queen. The girls chosen as can- didates for this honor from our class were Rita Gallavan, Sue Pfeiffer, and Pat Maher. The final Iunior event that year was our class picnic, and we became much more adventurous this year and went to Bakerls Bridge for our picnic and back to the high school for swimming and dancing. Finally, the year we had been waiting for arrived . . . we are now Seniors, and we are quite proud of the fact. Now, of course we have lost our previous attitudes, and we find that an attitude of humbleness and obedience is di- rected toward us-anyway that's what we think! Since this was our last year, we wanted to make sure it was the best, therefore, we must have the very best leadership, and We elected the very best. Ronnie Dougherty was the president we chose, and Ronnie has shown by his hard work and faithfulness that we couldnlt have chosen a better president. Ir. Romero as vice-president, Rita Gallavan, secretary, and Neal Williams, treasurer, are the other officers and we pay tribute to each one for his fine leadership. Emery Percell has shown the enthusiasm and fine abil- ity that is needed by every student-body presi- dent, and again we pay tribute to a fine Senior student. We also thank our sponsors, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Cobb, for their counsel and hard work. As Seniors we have definite Senior activities, and each activity is something which each of us will look back upon as our fondest memories. Tacky Day, with all of us in our oddest make- ups, Senior Play as the speech class,s finest pro- duction, Senior Day at Fort Lewis where we, with the other Seniors of the Basin, were royally entertained by Fort Lewis College, the day we considered ours whether it was contrary to the teachers' wishes or not, and we had all that fun at Mesa Verde! Then, the times that we'll prob- ably remember above all the others-our Senior Prom preceded by the Senior Dinner, the night we chose to thank Durango High for all the wonderful memories we have of her. And finally, the night which we looked forward to for such a long time-Graduation. Yet we know that with this night many of our good times together will be ended, and an entirely new future is ahead of us. VVe hope and pray that each one's future is ever so bright and that success is in store for each of us. Yes, our graduation from high school has arrived. We are proud of our class because we are the largest class ever to grad- uate from Durango High, and We are proud in- dividually because we have arrived at a goal which most every one strives for, but which not every one reaches. To the teachers of our high school we owe a great deal of thanks for the fine preparation they have given us. To the Iunior and Sopho- more classes we wish you all the luck and happi- ness in the World. Goodbye and thanks!
