SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A group of unpolished, unassuming young people met five years ago in a way that only now can be called outstanding. During the gap of the five years, so many things have taken place: As a group of freshmen, we selected our class colors, green and white, our class flower, the white carnation, and our class motto, 'l11rough God Our Future is Brightenedf' As most young people are interested in making their own plans, we took an active part in the Student Government and sent delegates to the district and state conventions. Along with the upper classmen, we joined hand-in-hand in the extracurricular activities. Time came for us to prepare for the school our junior Class Play, and we selected a comedy, I-Iessie of the HilI, which had an unusual outdoor scene. With the pro- ceeds of the play we gave the seniors a prom which we think they will Xnevet forget. Stairway to the Stars was the theme of the prom and all danced under the silvery heavens and before a stairway which led to the stars. Our class sponsors, Mr. james Gordon and Miss Nancy Gardner, gave us the help and confidence which we needed to accomplish all our tasks. Finally our big year has come and we are now the seniors. This year our class sponsors are Mrs. Nancy G. Spty and Mr. james A. Biddle. The class has elected as its president Phyllis Brannon, who has shown her ability to lead her class in its functions. Our.largest tasks are the editing of the school newspaper, the Wood Port, and the year- book, the Woodbine. This year the members of our class have shown their abilities as leaders of the school and of the organizations by serving as the presidents and other leading officers. , Through these past five years we have grown in knowledge and in friendship and our fondest memories will be associated with the feeling of unity and deep friendship which has grown between all the members of the Senior Class of '59. The same group that once was shy and afraid to face the responsibilities that the world places upon its shoulders, now looks calmly, unafraid, and with optimism to the rapid meeting they will experience with life, soon after graduation. Sadness may at times reign over the emotions of these now young adults, but they will become of their endeavors during school and be able to find their own personal happiness. 25
