The domain of each senior Class at Mentor High School, more commonly the scene of students accompanied by the sound of constant conversation and the banging of locker doors, has been the avenue of 269 seniors for 180 school days. It is our sincere hope that succeeding classes will feel the absence of our noise and confusion as we have felt the absence of classes who have gone before. Thus we found the senior hall, empty and deserted, when we arrived on September 6, 1960. Thus we left it on June 8, 1961. The highlights as well as the everyday activities which transpired between these dates are pictured in the following pages. In the years to come may they recall pleasant associations with the class of '61.

The most important part of our high school experiences is, of course, the acquisition of knowledge. Wending our way through term papers, research projects, and book reports, we have become familiar with our library and its contents. After classes have finished for the day, the library abandons its atmosphere of quiet-tude and becomes the scene of meetings and conferences. The problem of what to do after high school is one that always confronts each and every student. Career-planning is a difficult task and one which, unless competent help can be found, is frustrating and seemingly impossible. At Mentor High School, such help obtained from the persons of Miss Florence Davis, dean of girls, and Mr. Wayne Hammond, dean of boys, who make available to us extensive information concerning college and job opportunities in the modern world. 6

Beotriz de Moras To escort us through this picture story of our senior year in high school, we have commissioned o little fellow called CarMen. He has this name because he is extremely school-spirited and wants everyone to know that he is a CARdinal from MENtor. CarMen will introduce us to the members of the class of 1961, and he will show us many reminders of our experiences at Mentor High School. “TATY” The welcome and colorful addition of Beatriz Taty de Moras to the student body of Mentor High School was made possible by the American Field Service Exchange Student Program. She has entered whole-heartedly into Mentor's activities. She has participated in Science Club, the Senior Class Play, Pep Club, Cardettes, Student Council, Girls' Athletic Association, honorary member of National Honor Society, member of the Girl Scouts of America, and an office assistant to the Board of Education Office. She will return to her home in Quilpue, Chile, after giving Mentor a better appreciation and a new interest in our South American neighbor. 8
