CLASS HISTORY Here it is the year of 1965, and yet it seems as though it was only yesterday that, we, the graduating class of 1965, stepped into the freshman class and began our first year of high school. True, there have been some mighty discouraging times for us during our four years of high school, but these fade away when we recall all the good times. We began our first year of high school under the skillful direction of Mr. Thomas Thompson, and, as a result of our first class election, Mary Snyder was chosen president, Sherrie Burleigh, vice-president; Darlene Dickinson, treasurer; and Bonnie Cook, secretary. During the year, we sponsored our first dance and class supper. Food sales and other fund-raisers were conducted, but the acquisition of our class pins was truly the greatest occurrence of our freshman year. Having conquered our first goal we began our sophomore year. As the first order of business, we held elections for our new class officers. Paul Pockett was elected president, Sherrie Burleigh, vice-president; Kay Graham, secretary; and Darlene Dickinson, treasurer. During this year, we chose our class motto, Carpe Diem ; our class colors, silver and green; and class flower, the white rose. Candy was sold, another dance was held, and other means of attaining revenue were carried out during the year. Upon completing our sophomore year, we entered our third year at THS as Jolly Juniors. Class officers included Kay Graham, serving as president, Paul Pockett as vice-president; Patty Malaney, as secretary; and Darlene Dickinson, as treasurer. Highlights of the year included the memorable Junior Prom, entitled Shangri-la, at which Darlene Dickinson reigned as Prom Queen. Our class rings added much to the excitement, too, and the presentation of the Junior Plays -- Why I am a Bachelor, Footfalls, Curses the Villain is Foiled -- gave that year an air of distinction. So, this brings us to our senior year, by far the most dear and important to us, the time when most of us begin making plans for the future. Leading us Grand Old Seniors were President Howard Drake, Vice-President Kay Graham, Secretary Patty Malaney, and Treasurer Darlene Dickinson. Magazine and Christmas card sales added to our growing treasury. A bottle drive and many dances, including those following home basketball games also added much to our Senior Trip fund. Also contributing much to the treasury were the candy sales and ticket sales at games. March 26 and 27th marked the presentation of the Senior Play, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, under the skillful direction of Mr. William Sola. Yes, our four years of high school at THS will surely always be remembered as the best years of our youth, and our trip to Washington, D.C., will mark the climax. It is only now when we are about to graduate that we can fully practice just what our fine school and all the wonderful people connected with it have done for us. We shall forever be indebted to all the hardworking teachers who gave up their time to help us through. Special thanks are extended to Mr. Burroughs, Dr, Robinson, and Mr. Ten-Haken. How do you go about thanking all these people who have made these four years the best yet and who deserve our continuous gratitude. 12
