I THE CLASS WITH CLASS Once upon a time, we were freshmen: noisy, giggly, carefree freshmen! Gossiping, flirting, note-passing girls, and teasing, boisterous, mischievous boys, made up the Class of l972. Our first major event as a class was the Freshman Frolic, the first dress-up dance for most and for many their first date! What a wonderful way to end our first year of high school. Then we were sophomores, trying hard to fit into the sophistication real high school life demanded. A whole new world of activities opened up before us. Clubs and teams and other organizations opened their doors, inviting us to become active citizens in our community: the school. Class Day was an event for which we established our color-red, and our slogan: The Class with Class. That night at the basketball game, the bleachers were drenched with red as the sophomores won first prize for attendance. The annual Bulldog Bounce and Sweetheart's Dance, new experiences for us as sopho- mores, provided more exciting opportunities to get to- gether. From here it was a short step into the whirl-wind activities of our iunior year. We collected tons of paper, combining fun-making with money-making. Again we took first place on class night-red as far as the eye could see. This was also the year we followed The Yellow Brick Road through the play, the banquet and the prom to the end of our iunior year. At last, we were seniors, mature members of an outstanding class. Our creative and imag- inative abilities shined forth in the production of our senior play. ln June, we had an exhilarating picnic, a sumptuous banquet, a dreamlike Senior Ball and a solemn graduation. Thus ended our high school life, may we all live happily ever after.
