Riley 'Twasn't really so long ago, That fateful- summer 's dayg 'Tis only half a year or so Since our friend, Tom, passed away.

Class advisors were Miss Donna De Seyn, Mr. Louis Bruno, and Mr. Arlon Wilber, On March lst the class held a Record Hop, which proved very successful. The Sophomore year began with seventy-one members in the class. The advisors were the same. Sophomore class officers were: David Robinson, presidentg Shirley Verdehem, vice-president, Anne Rockefeller, secretary, and Katherine Partridge, treasurer. The class activities for the year included a bake sale and on January 23rd a Hillbilly Hoedown dance The Junior year started with seventy-two members and the following officers elected: Orville Van Duser, president, Sharon Wilber, vice-president, Katherine Partridge, secretary, and Joan Ulmer, treas- urer, The advisors were Mr. Louis Bruno and Mr. Arlon Wilber. Miss De Seyn, a former advisor, was no longer a member of the faculty. A new advisor, Mrs. Shelley Symonds, was chosen. Our first business of the year was to select our Junior class rings. These were delivered in March. In January a Beatnik Dance was held by the class. On May 27, the class held its prom, Le Soir a Paris. This ended the activities of our Junior year. Finally the senior year came. There were fifty-four members in the class. The following officers were elected: Lee Kelsey, presidentg Glen Wilkes, vice-president, Sharon Wheadon, secretary, and Joan Ulmer, treasurer. There was a change of advisors for the final year. Mrs. Shelley Symonds and Mr. Louis Bruno, our former advisors, were no longer members of our faculty. A new advisor, Mrs. Chrissie Nagel, was chosen and Mr. Arlon Wilber continued in the same capacity. As a boost to the treasury the magazine drive began. During the year refreshments were sold at the basketball games. Two roller skating parties were held, and they provided fun for young and old alike. On November 10, the class presented a three-act comedy, The Little Dog Laughed. On December 22, the annual Senior Ball was held. This event proved quite successful for all who attended. Now as the four years of high school draw to a close, the Class realizes how important the years have been and how it has benefited by the wise counsel and patience of the advisors. 611155 Song Oh, we 'll be loyal ever And when we get through high school, To the class of '61.
