Emerald Ecstacy-an Evening to Remember Undoubtedly the most exciting event of our junior year was the prom. Green and white decora- tions carried out our theme. Emerald Ecstasy. Guests entered through an archway covered with fresh lilacs, and a bridge surrounded with flowers provided a lovely setting for pictures. The grand march and the crowning of the king and queen were the highlights of the evening. The 1960 queen, Dianne Monahan, crowned the new royalty, Sandra Gilman and Thomas Nailor. For the first time, the Junior Class instituted a Senior Honor Court, which enabled the seniors to have an active interest in the prom. Each and every person who attended this dance will remember the anxious preparations, the parties, and the dance itself for many years.

The elementary newspaper staff in 1954 Our last year of elementary school many happy memories Finally our day as freshmen came. Our new and interesting subjects included French and earth science. Although our studies came first, we lost no time in getting our activities started. Our first important duty was to elect the class officers. Thomas Nailer was chosen president; Peter Gorman, vice president; Judy Davison, secretary; and Sharon Spaulding, treasurer. Under their leadership we made plans for our first dance, the Spring Fling. The profits from this dance enabled us to make a deposit in our Washington fund - our first step towards Washington. Freshman year passed quickly and we were sophomores almost before we realized it. We will al- ways remember reading the DIALOGUES OF PLATO and writing our own play about Socrates. This year Tom, Peter, and Judy held the same offices with Sandra Gilman as treasurer. In addition to our class dance, the Poisson d'Avril Dance, we worked enthusiastically selling Christmas Cards and wrappings. With the Washington trip as our incentive, we all worked hard to sell our products. Tom, Peter, and Judy, assisted by Nancy Austin, held the same offices during our junior and senior year. Our junior year was one of the most busy and eventful of all our school years. At this time we en- countered history term papers, chemistry, and OUR TOWN. Our biggest money raising project this year was the magazine subscription drive. Through the united efforts of the class, we were able to exceed our goal, making the drive a huge success. Later in the year we ordered our class rings, which were oval for the first time in the history of the school. Most of this year's excitement centered around the prom and play, which brought the year to a memorable close. 9
