£nct ' tyeat ‘TtuatCe cuicC Subtle, ifeferoack Remember that last, hectic week of school? What happened to those resolutions to keep the locker clean? Everyone still ended up carrying home odds and ends that accumulated in the locker since last Sep¬ tember. Who ever thought of holding report cards until library fines were paid . . . That’s another thing that had to be taken care of during the last week. Oh, that sneaky eighth hour that never was taken — you were nearly in your library seat but Miss Lake just never seems to understand. And all the text¬ books have to be turned in; how can books ever gather so much scrap paper! The Senior Class Day assembly was the climax of that busy week. There were a lot of laughs at the Senior Class will and history. Seniors had a lot to think over - four years of fun and study. Al¬ though all had dreams for the future, Seniors felt sentimental during that last week of high school.

St. ‘SoMct fatut The height of the social season, the Junior Class Prom, came on Friday, May 29, 1959, at Madura’s Danceland. The Class of 1960 and their guests, the Class of 1959, danced to the music of Buddy Pressiner and his band, enjoyed refreshments, and talked with class friends at tables decorated with lilac and silver. The grand march brought the dance to an end, and for some the evening was over. Others flocked to local restaurants to dine and dance before their evening finally came to a close.
