After Hurzyiug the Jlflelady far 3010 Happy lfazrs The great night has finally arrived! We have just marched in to Pomp and Circumstanceu and taken our place on the stage in our caps and gowns, each starry-eyed senior silently going over the past four years. We all remember our colorful freshman year with Paul Lewis as our president. The fun of our first Get Acquaintedn party, shivering at the football games, and cheering on the stage bleachers for the basketball team, can be recalled by all of us. We kept the record of 20 per cent of the band, 29 per cent in chorus, and 14 per cent on the honor roll. It was a pretty full year for 116 scared freshmen! The delight of our second year was the colorful Carnival Party we gave the frosh. We spent one whole afternoon blowing up balloons, all of which deve- loped leaks. The party was a huge success, thanks to the efforts of our president, Chuck Heron. BACK ROW: Malden Nesheim, Presidentg Dick Osborough, Student Council, John Bienfang, Treasurer, Joseph Larson, Vice- President. FRONT ROW: Doris Furman, Secretaryg Miss Howell, Adviser, Helen Stavrakas, Student Council. When we see Dick Krahenbuhl, our junior class presi- dent, receive his diploma, we are reminded of our busy third year. We sold hot dogs, candy, checked coats and sold mums earning money for the Junior-Senior Prom. It took us a long time to decide on our theme, Spring Fantasyf' and even longer to make paper roses, collect mirrors, and paint picket fences. We proudly watched Dick Krahenbuhl and the Plumley Brothers represent us on the gridiron and bas- ketball floor. Of course, we've had lots of fellows on the varsity teams. Dick Krahenbuhl had his name inscribed on the Hackett Trophy for football while Don Plumley was elected honorary captain. In basketball Don Plum- ley captured both the Hall and Hackett Trophies, and Paul Plumley was elected honorary captain of the basketball squad. John Moore tries out our escalator. Miss Howell measures seniors for the long awaited caps and gowns. Puge Six tcm

The Girls Sextet, Boys Quartet, German Band, Mixed Brass Quar- tet, Sax Quartet, French Horn Quartet, and Mixed Clarinet Quartet all contained members from our active class. After debating between round and oblong rings, the committee finally chose our ring. When we got them in February, we really felt like official upperclassrnen. Jim Reed and John Bienfang represented our class at Boys' State while Maurine Guest attended Girls' State and received the D. A. R. award. This last year went altogether too quickly. The prom given us by the juniors was a huge success. Our whole class co-operated and every one worked diligently on the Senior play, Uncle Fred Flits By , which turned out Senior boys investigate the principles of physics. to be a smashing success. Homecoming was a bright spot in every year. In spite of all the rain, we held a huge bonfire this year and Joe Larson led us a merry chase all over town. On Senior Day we tried our skill at teaching poor underclassmen! Now Malden Nesheim, our senior class president, has finished giving our farewell address and our high school days are over! All of a sudden we have that confused freshie feeling again as we start out on an even bigger adventure along the paths of life. As we look back over these eventful four years, we are grateful to the many people who have rendered us so many services and have given us so many opportunities. The knowledge and memories will furnish us a firm foundation on which to build our future. The girls' quartet entertains at the junior-senior party. Page Sz' venteen
