SE IOR.CLASSIi Through a coral reef couples entered a fantastic underwater scene on December 18, 1955. A greenish glow permeated the darkness and spotlighted King Neptune. reigning over the undersea world in a fanciful tropical scene constructed for Sea Fantasy, the Senior Dance of the Class of 1954. Glancing up the couples saw a huge fish net covering the entire ceiling with Starfish and shells caught in it. This was the last of the class dances that began with XVishing W'ell Waltz as the freshman presentation and included A Night in Hawaii, Mardi Gras and Mid- night Masqueradej' the junior Prom. Other traditional acts of the class were the fine performance of Remote Control, directed by Miss Oza Cunningham, and the choosing of class colors, blue and silver, and flower, carnation. Qualities of leadership were evident in many outstanding class members and were developed through class and club officers. Freshmen officers were Lawrence Kessler, Dona Clark, Greggie Argus and Judy Eggers as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. As sophomores, Lawrence Kessler, Bill Studer, Carol Bodefeld and Erwin Adams were chosen: juniors elected Ken Bonds, George Oaks, Greggie Argus and Co- Treasurers Dorothy Piniak and Walter Willis, and seniors delegated responsibility to Ronald jackson, Norbert Pasko, Dona Clark and Dorothy Piniak. Most important were the memories seniors will always have of classes and teachers, dances and plays, parties and clubs and fun. ISTDR. Robed in rich blue, the seniors solemnly proceeded down the aisle of the school auditorium to receive their diplomas in the commencement exercises - ending their life at Clark, yet retaining precious moments in memory. Clockwise: D. Clark, secretary, D, Piniak, treasurer, N. Pasko. vice president. R. jackson. president L JV, gif l
