SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunshiny day in the fall of 1960 we creatures, commonly known as Freshmen, breahed a sigh—perhaps a rather frightened sigh —as we gallantly trudged up to the steps to enter Falls City High School, which was soon to become so very much a part of our lives. Under the able guidance of our sponsors, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Eckman, we were soon on our way to achieving great tasks.

The memory of Senior Class Day will linger in our hearts forever. Baccalaureate Services were held on May 24, and Commencement Exercises were held on May 28. We will always look back with pleasure on our happy days at F.C.H.S. But with deep sorrow and yet a feeling of joy we must turn our eyes to the future. JEAN WEINERT 21
